I must apologize for my absence the past couple of weeks. Living in Orlando, we’ve experienced three tragic circumstances that have left us feeling numb. Add to this some of our dearest friend’s daughter got engaged here last weekend and we were privileged to host the celebrations. It has been an emotional roller coaster, quite literally. God has helped us and He is preparing us for our upcoming vacation, where we can’t wait to rest and relax together–alone.

No worries though, we’re planning to pull from some of the best of our Vintage Posts for your encouragement while we’re away. Keep those home fires burning–no matter how hot your Summer is. Our thermometer says “99” right now. Ugh! Thanking God for the blessing of central air in our home.

Enjoy these special posts when you have some time to read them in their entirety.
