How thankful I am for the privilege of growing up in a Christian home. I accepted the Lord as my personal Saviour when I was a young child, and my parents taught me how to pray and trust the Lord for all things in my life. I went to a small Christian college, met my husband there, and we've been married since 1970. We enjoy spending time with our children and eight granddaughters. My husband, Dick, has always been my best friend, encourager, and spiritual rock throughout our years together. I was always very involved in church and outdoor activities. However, after having two back surgeries, I developed a rare spinal disease in 2000 that caused constant, excruciating pain and left me unable to do much of anything. I did not receive relief from doctors as they were unfamiliar with this condition. After much prayer and guidance from a dear Christian doctor, we researched and found no cure, but there are ways to help me cope and function. For that, we are truly thankful. During this time, I asked the Lord to use me in some way to be a blessing to others. He brought to mind many precious promises from His Word and sweet hymns that I had learned as a child. I began writing poems and songs. Through this trial, I wanted to share His Word, His promises, and valuable lessons that gave me peace and even joy. He brought me through my darkest hours, and He can do the same for you. Trust in the Lord and be encouraged by Him and His Word.
