Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art. Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee, how great Thou art, how great Thou art!

The rivalry between the University of Alabama and Auburn is legendary. We happened upon this marker a couple of weeks ago!

“For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods”
Psalm 95:3
We have been reflecting on the greatness of God this past week! Those are thoughts that we can never exhaust. Do you ever just pause and think about how much the Creator of the universe loves you…that He has proven His love over and over again?
This church located in Clarksville, TN is on the National Register of Historic Places and was completed in 1877. I love the red doors!
“The splendor of a king, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice, all the earth rejoice…”
Our nephew, Joel made this map of the world for his office. It is amazing what can be done with a pallet! Total cost=$0
May I just say, I never turn down a dessert! Chocolate Pave…sponge cake with chocolate caramel buttercream and blood orange sorbetto at Frank Stitt’s Bottega Restaurant!
Gorgeous sunset over the lake this week!
“…He wraps Himself in light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice, trembles at His voice…”

In honor of Valentine’s, strawberry and funfetti macarons!

“…How great is our God – sing with me
How great is our God – and all will see
How great, how great is our God…”
So simple…red roses and candles on our dining room table!
A bronze replica of the Statue of Liberty (on the outskirts of Birmingham) standing 36 feet and weighing 10 tons that was cast in France!
Santa’s unfortunate demise!!
Most of the world would love to have access to clean water! So very thankful that we don’t depend on wells, but think about those who aren’t as fortunate. May we appreciate the undeserved blessing of turning on our faucet!
“…name above all names, worthy of all praise
my heart will sing, how great is our God!”
-Chris Tomlin

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid”
John 14:27
Christmas week can be complicated and hectic. We attempted to simplify and slow the pace a little this year. While we didn’t eliminate “hectic”, progress was made. Simple is often best! It is our prayer that all of you had a blessed and meaningful Christmas.
Small country church in Collard Valley, GA!
By now, you all know that I am crazy about my great-nephews! Isaiah and Nico are enjoying their visit with Santa while Benji seems terrified! Is Santa putting a squeeze on Benji’s left leg?
Santa couldn’t get down the chimney, so he left a present on the kitchen porch! Not to suggest Santa is too big or anything. We just have a small chimney.
I love to sing with Butch and Seth! Last Sunday was really special as we sang Butch’s beautiful Christmas song “In a Manger”! You can read the words here: Miracles and Mangers
My Mother always baked a coconut cake for Christmas. The tradition lives on!
Katy and me with one of our life-size nutcrackers! He squatted so as not to look a lot taller than us. You can see them here: A Nutcracker Welcome
Last Sunday we enjoyed seeing “White Christmas” at the historic Alabama theater in Birmingham. One of my favorite Christmas movies!

The tradition continues as Allison now lends a hand!
Sweet little Braden in cute pajamas sharing a secret with the best Santa Claus of the season!
A favorite gift from Katy! She collected all the photos from our blog and put together a beautiful book for us
that will be a treasured keepsake! The Everyday Living logo took on a new dimension from printed page to a real three dimensional representation with the chandelier and antlers also given to us by Katy.
I am a coffee snob, might as well be honest. Butch gave me this awesome Moccamaster that makes the best filtered brewed coffee!
Seth and Allison gave me this gorgeous calendar of colorful images from early 20th century seed catalogs. Each page is printed on Italian paper which makes them ideal for framing!
My niece, Claire made this darling wreath that is perfect for the kitchen porch!
“I was glad when they said to me,
‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’”
