Hi Melanie,thank you so much! The outfit Kirsten is wearing is one of my favorites. It is actually an outfit from Molly's collection. It is Molly's friend's holiday dress. I believe the dress is still available. Rachel
I consider it a privilege to be the wife of Mr. Wonderful and a blessing to be a stay-at-home mother to two beautiful children. I once heard Elisabeth Elliot give this definition of motherhood--Shaper of Destiny. I have treasured in my heart these three little words as I raise my children. The simple things in life are precious to me. I am in awe of God's magnificent creation. I love living in the country, sapphire skies, getting my hands dirty, taking in the fragrance and beholding the beauty of flowers. Life is a gift. I thank God for each day I am given the opportunity to serve Him by caring for my family and those He brings into my life along this great journey.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
Deuteronomy 6:6-9
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.
Daniel Webster, 1852
If we work on marble, it will perish; if on brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds and imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and the love of our fellowmen, we engrave on those tablets something that will brighten to all eternity.
Corrie Ten Boom
Every experience God gives us, every person he puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.
Frederick M. Lehman, 1917
Love of God
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made, were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade; to write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry; nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky.
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure--the saints' and angels' song.

If all that we say in a single day, with never a word left out, were painted each night in clear black and white, it would prove queer reading, no doubt.
And then just suppose 'ere our eyes would close, we must read the whole record through, then wouldn't we sigh, and wouldn't we try, a good deal less talking to do.
And I more than half think that many a kink would be smoother in life's tangled thread, if half that we say in a single day were forever left unsaid.
