Today’s post is written by our first guest writer in the #thankfultoday series, Chuck Dubbe! As you probably know, Chuck has been my man for the last 9 years (we met 9 years ago this month!). We’ve been married for over 8 years and I’m thrilled he wrote a post for us today! Thank you, Babe! I’m thankful for seasons. #thankfultoday There are various kinds of seasons. Right now the fall season is in full swing. Autumn marks the transition from…

One of the many joys of marriage is gaining a whole set of new family members! My husband, Chuck, is one of seven children so there are lots of special relatives in our life. Besides his siblings and parents, Chuck also came with a really wonderful Aunt. When Chuck and I were dating I began calling her Aunt Sharon because it was the most natural thing in the world. Aunt Sharon has served for the last FIFTY years as a…
Guys, I am crazy about essential oils! I have been a closet oil user for quite some time because I don’t like the oil-haters out there. Does anyone else hate to be hated?! Alas,the time has come, and I just can’t keep quiet any longer. Hi, my name is Abigail Joy Dubbe, and I am an essential oil LOVER! There. I said it. Whew, that feels good! 😉 I signed up with doTERRA (an essential oil company) several months ago and have very…
Many of you are aware, my husband lost his job back in June. Because of that, we will lose our medical benefits at the end of December. We are thankful to have kept our benefits up until this point. God’s faithfulness to provide for our every need always astounds me. Today I am thankful God provided my husband with a part-time job at Lowes. Isn’t he handsome? He has been working there for 2 weeks now. By the end of January,…
Halloween is finally behind us and we can officially move on to The Holidays! It’s hard to believe they’re already here! I had to dash through the grocery store today and got giddy when I saw Halloween items 50% off while Christmas decorations, cookies, candies, ice cream, and creamers were merrily on display. My heart skipped a beat with anticipation. You better believe I start celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving! We’ve already had a dinner with Christmas music playing on Pandora in the…
Pregnancy. The word is packed with punch. It carries a load, just like it’s own definition. For some the word signifies something quite unplanned. Uncalculated. For others, it brings the deepest form of indescribable joy. Something long-awaited. Something intangible, yet more real than anything has ever been. Yet still others ache at hearing the word, as it has only ever been used to describe another woman other than herself. On Friday I had a gut-wrenching conversation with a woman who…
We’ve officially been living in our new State for 5 weeks now. In some ways it feels like a lot longer. In just 35 days, the Spirit has moved in such a way we feel like different people than when we arrived. My feet hit the ground of the farm we are living on that first day, and tears pooled in my eyes. Even though it was dreary outside, my soul was bright was hope. Bursting with anticipation. It was as…
We have arrived! The first thing I did when we got to the farm was head out back to take this picture. My heart was light. I felt free. Tears filled my eyes as JOY from Father God exuded my being. All we have been through this summer- an unexplainable amount of pain- and yet our good, good Father is so mighty He can fill a broken heart with joy in a hot second. Don’t you just want to squeeze Him in a big hug…
Good Morning Everybody! Happy Friday! Girls, what a blessing your beautiful comments have been! What a JOY to read about the things that bring YOU joy! The Father shares His love with us in the most intricate ways. You will be encouraged if you go back and read some of the comments, too. So, here we go. When doing a Give Away, I like to write names on tiny scraps of paper and draw one- the good ‘ol fashion…
