It is in the quiet crucible of your personal private sufferings that your

noblest dreams are born and God's greatest gifts are given in compensation
for what you have been through.

Three Powerful Resources

"Never forget the three powerful resources God always makes available to us: Love, Prayer, and Forgiveness." H. Jackson Brown, Jr., Lifes's Little Instruction Book

Except the Lord build the house, they labor in Vain who build it... Psalm 127:1

Something about me

Dawn: Mid South USA, United States; Dawn lives in Mid-South USA, adores her husband of 21 years, and loves her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She graduated with a MSN in Family and Community Nursing, and became a mother after much time, prayer and miraculous effort. She is a voracious reader, a mediocre volleyball player, and a biking enthusiast. But nothing gives Dawn a better feeling than to prepare a dish or treat for a loved one to truly enjoy! She teaches her precious 7 year old son to bake and cook, just as her mother taught her.

Praying for our children

"All that I am or hope to be I owe to my angel mother... I remember my mother's prayers, and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life." --Abraham Lincoln

Use what you have to make your own Beauty

On being a Mother

"A mother has perhaps the hardest earthly lot; and yet no mother worthy of the name ever gave herself thouroughly for her child who did not feel that, after all, she reaped what she had sown."--Henry Ward Beecher

Living Beautifully Every Day

It is so important to incorprate beauty and love into our lives so that even the most mundane of chores is in some small way elevated and validated as a daily ritual of beauty. Our home is vibrantly lived in, and loved. We like to think we live "Romantically" here in Blueberry Cottage. Romantic living is thoughtful, beautiful, and deliberate. If one decides to embrace it, all days will be truly LIVED, not just "passed."

Dawn's Favorite Scripture

"Sing, O Childless woman! Break forth into loud and joyful song...For the woman who could bear no children now has more than all the other woman." says the Lord. "Enlarge your house; build an addition; spread out your home! For you will soon be bursting at the seams..." ... All your sons will be taught by the Lord and great will be your children's peace. Isaiah 54:1-3, 13

Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

They vary in their desires

I loved this little note from my sweet boy

Every house where love abides and friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home sweet home
For there the heart can rest."
