Adoption made me a momma, so my legacy was changed. And, of course, my kids’ legacy was changed when we brought them into our family and received paperwork that said they officially belonged to us.

Grafted Into God’s Family and Producing Fruit

July 12, 2019July 10, 20192 Comments

How Does Grafting Relate to the Family of God? Most of my adult life, I have ministered to children. I love to creatively find ways to get the children to interact with older adults in our church.

THAT DARN CAT! That darn cat!  I couldn't believe my eyes.  If you read my articles faithfully, you would have read about my  "Kitchen Catastrophe" with brownies.  Well, as luck would have it, the cats have struck again.  This time they upped the game.  But before I can tell you the rest of the story, I … Continue reading Kitchen Catastrophe Number Two

Dear Friend; You asked me recently how I am doing after my daughter's wedding. It took me until now (about 6 weeks) to recover but it was worth it!

Dropping By For A Visit

May 29, 2017September 15, 20187 Comments

Don't you miss the days when people would visit and sit for a spell? I do. I think that is why I want a front porch so badly.

About Author

Mandy Farmer

Writer/Speaker sharing about how to make it through anything. I married a pastor with two boys who just lost their mom, I homeschooled my own children, led children’s ministries and women’s ministries in the church, and founded and led a homeschool support group. Had to give up much of this due to chronic pain. Like the Insurance, I know a lot because I’ve seen a lot.
