The Brick House Wishes You a Very Merry Christmas!

Christmas is the most important holiday of the year in our home, right next to Easter.  This is the time of year that we celebrate the Birth of our Savior and share His love with all of our family and friends.  For this reason, my attention has been turned toward these very special people so that they know just how important they are to Jesus and to me.  I pray that you are enjoying your family and friends while you celebrate the Reason for the Season as well!

The Brick House was formed to be your source for encouragement and resources to make your home a strong  dwelling for your loved ones.  Invite your friends to The Brick House and leave a comment about topics that you would like to see covered in the coming year. 

I have an exciting announcement about a new development that I will get into a bit more next week, but stay tuned to find out how YOU can benefit from this great offer from The Brick House!

God Bless You All

Merry Christmas!

Dads Know Their Children So Well

Though "Christmas" is not completely unpacked in my house, I kept this treasure in a safe spot so it would be one of the first things unpacked.  Last year, my dad and step-mom gave this gift to my family knowing just how much our Christ-filled Christmas means to us. The wise men traveled far to bring such precious treasure to our Savior.  It is become a favorite among our Christmas decorations.

A Little Scribble from the Soul...

As I was journaling this morning, I was overwhelmed with thanksgiving for that are 'right' in my world.  Please don't misunderstand, that hasn't always been the atmosphere of my heart. You see, I tend to be the melancholy type.  You know, the one who has an ideal way for things to be; one who likes things to be just so, and when it isn't, my view of the world is askew. Though this is my natural tendency, I don't believe that is the response that reflects my faith in God. 


Over the years, as battles have rolled onto the landscape of life, there have been times that I cannot see past them to realize that even after they are over, my God is still there. Somewhere along the road, the Lord has begun to correct my vision.  It's not 20/20 just yet, but I've begun to wear my "Trust God" boots and just walk right through the battle.  No way over it, no way around it, just gotta go through it!   It is not hard to see the bright silver lining when the storm is fierce, which is why it makes perfect sense that the 'right' things in life are standing out in bold color right now.  May the lessons that we learn in this time stay with us for a lifetime...


“Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior…” – Isaiah 43:1-3
