Flower Friday: Iris

A row of irises grew along the fence row in the front yard. Dad planted and tended them. He loved his "flags", the southern Ohio name for irises.

They bloomed in a rainbow of colors.

Christmas in Ohio

Come join us for a celebration of Christmas in the Buckeye State, with snow and mistletoe, a dash of suspense and danger, mystery and reunions, healing and hope. From an island Christmas celebration to colonial-era homesteads, Christmas is a time of hope and celebration, as well as learning and healing. A time for trusting and sharing secrets, and taking a risk that leads to joy and a promise for the future. The four stories on these pages go from a search for a missing painting to a reunion of lost loves, a shattered family rejoined, and promises kept. From a stolen treasure to secrets revealed, healed hearts and glass hearts, and second chances at love. The gift of Christmas.

Just like all sisters, they are different in many ways. ... But... They are learning their differences are what make them special, and they are each growing up to be who they are meant to be. God values every person. He created each child with reverence and respect and fashioned them as a unique work of art. Help them embrace the gifts God endowed them with and encourage them to discover who God made them to become. Betsy and Bailey will help a child see that God created them to be themselves.
