Friday File 56
This week we've had some really gorgeous days, and my children have had so much fun playing outside. I've done some de-cluttering and scrapbooking, some sewing and card making. It has been a productive week. We've hung our laundry outside a couple of days and see our rhubarb starting to poke up! Yeah! I've moved …

Tell It to Jesus
This is such a good song for me. I tend to me a big worrier. I know I shouldn't, but I do. I'm trying to pray more and worry less, but I'm not always successful. Every verse tells us another woe or trouble we should hand over to the Lord. Verse One - Depression Verse …
