An old blog post with a fresh update: My oldest grand thought I needed to write something new instead of just sharing my post that had already been shared. So (LOL), this OLD post has been rewritten and hopefully passes the mustard. 😉 https://thescarlettroad.com/2024/07/17/life-giving-joy/?page_id=5309

The Greatest Test
Lying on my sofa, consumed with fear and shaking uncontrollably, I knew God was my only hope; my greatest need was to learn what it meant to trust Him with a child! That period in my life became the training ground from which endurance would be welded into my soul as even darker days of … Continue reading The Greatest Test

Potential Pearls: A 45th Wedding Anniversary
Returning from a weekend trip just 2 ½ hours away from home, I surmised the lack of rain once again. So, the next morning I repeated a routine that has been in place most of the summer: pulling the water hose across the thirsty lawn to saturate the dying flowerbeds and the wilting flowers in … Continue reading Potential Pearls: A 45th Wedding Anniversary

Backing out of the garage assured I can do this adulting thing, I hear Satan’s megaphone, and all my courage flies out the window. No matter how much healing a person experiences in life, there will always be the world and the flesh and the devil just waiting to take us down! However, you are … Continue reading MY ONE DEFENSE
A Blessed Mother’s Day

It can become the launching pad that propels the offspring toward the individual mapped out target to know and understand … Continue reading A Blessed Mother’s Day

Through tears I verbally expressed the agonizing grief that held its grip on me. An internal war was raging, and I needed a friend to hear. She not only heard me “spill my guts,” (which is what it feels like at times when the grief is so intense) but she also asked to pray. How … Continue reading Never Again!
Pressing On
A little poem I have often read comes from my Streams in the Desert devotional book: When obstacles and trials seem Like prison walls to be, I do the little I can do And leave the rest to Thee. And when there seems no chance, no change, From grief can set me free, Hope finds … Continue reading Pressing On
Personal Shopper!
I love to shop! And a lot of that shopping is for the eight grandchildren who call us “Gram” and “Pop” besides the bonus of three foster godsends. I have no problem spending hours scouring for the best bargain, while praying along the way for the Lord to help me find exactly what is needed. … Continue reading Personal Shopper!
