Rosie's Story

"Why do we go to church?" Rosie asked her mother as she skipped along the cracked sidewalk.
"Because," smiled the beautiful woman beside her, "it's the right thing to do. My mother and father took me. Now I take you. It's the right thing to do."
"Oh. Ok." Rosie kept skipping, taking care to avoid the cracks. She didn't question her mother further. Rosie didn't really mind going to church. The church was special and echoey with its pretty glass pictures and its nooks and crannies. The only thing she didn't like about church was that Daddy didn't go. But Rosie quickly pushed her sad thoughts to one side as her mother's smile dispersed the clouds. She felt so loved as her mom pressed her hand and gave a little girlish skip. Rosie shared a giggle with her older sister Cherry.

Inside the cool church, with Mama sitting between them, Rosie thought about what Mama had said in answer to her question. Most everything about the service went over her head, but Mama's words rang true: there was something very right about  sitting on the old wooden pew with Mama's hand holding hers.

The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story

  The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story Dear Readers, Here is a gift from me to you. "The Searching" is a story which has been puttering around in my heart for awhile. It nearly didn't get written though, as I was a bit unsure as to whether I could get it to work. But God is faithful, and He gave me both the inspiration and the words. There were a few times when I nearly gave up, but now, I'm so glad that I didn't. It's one of my favourites, and I hope that you enjoy it too.  *** Previous cover The Searching: A Novella *** By Alison Lawrence *** Copyright Copyright owner: Alison Lawrence. 2024 All rights reserved.

Poems, Photos, and a Glimpse of my Garden.

  Poems, Photos and a Glimpse of my Garden Rest of soul and peace of mind are hard for you  and me to find: Until we rest our  hearts in God; strength will falter, days grow hard A new day to pray, to love and give, A new day to serve, to work and praise, A new day to soak in Your precious peace I wish I could go back to all the happy days: to hold on to those moments, and sing a song of praise. Love and kindness I would bring, and serve the Lord much more. I truly wish it could be done through an old and hidden door. But since I cannot go back, to those sweet and bygone days, I'll give to Jesus all my heart so He can change my un-nice ways *** Copyright: pencil in His Hand *** St John's creeper New growth. (Not sure whether they are flowers or veg.) Protecting my carrots Paprika Looks like a chilli A good showing of coriander and some other herb. Swiss chard doing nicely My books

Foxy's Christmas. A Christmas Story For Children And The Young At Heart

  Foxy's Christmas *** Dear Readers, I am just popping in quickly with a Christmas present for you and your children. If you don't have any young children, don't go away, as it is also for anyone who is young at heart! *** Foxy was proud to have been chosen to sit next to the row of books on Mom's bookshelf. From the bookshelf, he had a grand view of the room and of all who passed by, for Mom's room was at the centre of the house. Foxy had heard her call it a "thoroughfare" in an irritated tone. But Foxy was glad that he hadn't been placed in a quiet corner. From his lookout, he could listen to Lyddie and Ruby tell Mom all about their stories and games. He was admittedly, a bit jealous of two characters named Mr Mushroom and Giraffe, who both seemed to have many adventures. Foxy was not a store bought toy. Mom had lovingly made him from brown, black, and white wool. He had a little black nose, brown button eyes, and a print bow. If truth be told, he wa...
