• My family and I just returned from a trip to our hometown in New York. While we were there, we were fortunate enough to visit with many loved ones.  It had been a few years since our last trip so there was a lot to catch up on! Our conversations went late into the night […]

  • Dear Friend, Maybe today feels like one of those days. I don’t know what you be may be walking through, but here’s a reminder that God’s mercy and grace are sufficient for today. This song has ministered to my heart and I hope it encourages you, too. ~Joyce

  • Sadly, these recent times seem to be inundated with illness, hospitalizations, and untimely death. I don’t know about you, but it can feel quite overwhelming.
