Each year I sit down to write another “Wellspring” Anniversary and Birthday edition, I cannot help but marvel (and hum happy birthday and the wedding march 😊) at how quickly one 24-hour day at a time adds up to 365! Here we are again, celebrating Rielyn’s eleventh birthday and Wellspring’s eleventh anniversary! Despite the past […]
“Wellspring” Tenth Anniversary & Birthday Edition
♫ Happy Birthday to us! ♪ Celebrating “Wellspring” Tenth Anniversary & Birthday Edition! This year is double-digit special for the blog and the birthday girl. (Guess who is waaaay excited to leave the single digits behind?!). Gma Nanc is faint with disbelief it has been ten years already! Both have grown by leaps and bounds […]
Wellspring Ninth Anniversary & Birthday Edition
It’s time to party again! Welcome to the “Wellspring” Ninth Anniversary & Birthday Edition. Join me in blowing some kazoos and losing balloons that float up to the cathedral ceiling! Though out of reach, balloons know how to hang around until they run out of hot air. Near or far, you’re welcome to hang a while […]
Wellspring Eighth Anniversary & Birthday Edition
May 2, 2010 to May 2, 2018 … “Wellspring” Eighth Anniversary & Birthday Edition Rielyn & Wellspring are celebrating again! As I pondered what to pen for this eighth anniversary of Wellspring of Life, I was re-encouraged (which I needed) while tearing open sauce packets for a south of the border breakfast at the office. […]
“Wellspring” Seventh Anniversary and Birthday Edition
Today I have the joy and privilege of celebrating the seventh anniversary of Wellspring of Life and our granddaughter Rielyn turning seven years old. They were birthed the same Sunday on May 2, 2010. ‘RJ’ is growing into a cutie beauty as evidenced by the photo collage. I love these annual snapshots because they confirm that […]
“Wellspring” Sixth Anniversary and Birthday Edition
It is amazing to me that we are celebrating Wellspring of Life and granddaughter Rielyn* both turning six years old today! Where did the time go? When I look at this photo of Rielyn it is like looking at a snapshot of me at her age with just a bit of tweaking of the chin […]
“Wellspring” Fifth Anniversary & Birthday Edition
Wellspring of Life and granddaughter Reilyn* are five years old today! For a grandma who in ‘eternity years’ is barely beyond a gleam in my Father’s eye, seeing Reilyn turn five years old has an aging aspect to it. Since my current (lengthy) assignment from Holy Spirit is recording Vineyard Days, I liken this aging […]
“Wellspring” Fourth Anniversary & Birthday Edition
Wellspring of Life and granddaughter Rielyn turned four years old today! When I published my first post on May 2, 2010 there was no way of knowing what the next four years would bring. Life has been full of joyous and difficult seasons, but one thing remains the same: our Lord. He is more than […]
“Wellspring” Third Anniversary & Birthday Edition
Three years old! “Wellspring of Life” and granddaughter Rielyn Jolene are celebrating another birthday! As my longtime readers know and for the benefit of those more recently added, I published my first post the evening of Rielyn’s birth in 2010 and dedicated the “Wellspring” blog to her. In annual celebratory fashion, it brings me joy […]
“Wellspring” Second Anniversary & Birthday Edition
Hard to believe a full year has passed and both “Wellspring of Life” and Rielyn Jolene are two years old! What a year this has been! Wayne and I and our married children have lived in “Transition City” these past twelve months. And right under our noses (though 2,400 miles is too far away for […]
