When I think of autumn, I am filled with many happy memories. Memories of childhood days spent raking leaves and jumping in the huge piles with my brothers and sister. Memories of long drives through the countryside, admiring the poplar leaves as they turn golden in...

Nature’s Embrace

by Krista | July 6, 2025 | Poetry Blog, Quiet Reflection, Summer, The Garden | 0 Comments

Sometimes when I go out into nature, I feel as if I am walking out into a completely separate and protected world. It is as though all else just fades away and all I am left with is this one moment in time. I put aside all the worries and concerns of the day and...

Give it Away

Ever wonder about the meaning of life? I have thought about this a lot over the years. It’s a complicated question that most people don’t have a good answer for. Why are we on this earth? What are we supposed to do while we’re here? Is there a purpose in all of the...

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?..." Isiah 43:18-19 The beauty of a spring morning is hard to put into words. Try as I might to capture the sights and sounds and smells...

Proverbs 30:4-5 “Who but God goes up to heaven and comes back down? Who holds the wind in his fists? Who wraps up the oceans in his cloak? Who has created the whole wide world? What is his name—and his son’s name? Tell me if you...

Forever

by Krista | January 5, 2025 | Hope, New Beginnings, Poetry Blog, Quiet Reflection | 0 Comments

I know how important it is to take the time to pause in my everyday comings and goings to notice the little things around me. To listen to the water as it laps at the shore. To feel the wind on my face. To watch the sun as it shines through the...

I Rest in You

Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Sometimes at the end of a long day I find a quiet place with wide open skies and I pause to watch the sunset. As the glorious colours fade to night I am reminded that God has...

Tomorrow’s Gifts

In many ways, fall is a time of change. The green leaves of summer turn to crimson and gold as nature prepares for winter and the colder weather yet to come. As a teacher and mother, I find that with fall comes a new school year, new people, new circumstances and new...
