Daffodils in Winter
Posted on July 13, 2015 2 Comments
Christmas decorations seem to come out earlier and earlier each year. Hot cross buns stay later and daffodils arriving in stores early July? Personally, I don’t like it.

Well, actually, it was a diamond rather than a pearl. But it definitely had a great price to me and I was identifying with that woman in Matthew 13 who was distraught and hunting high and low for her pearl. Those kids of ours had all joined together to give me a beautiful pair of diamond […]
