Lord of the Rings Quote!

By -
The Lord of the rings is a wonderful book by J.R.R. Tolkien. There is also a movie for it that you can watch. (Making sure to read the books first.) This is a part of the book made me feel very inspired by. It is so meaningful, and makes me smile every time I read it!  It is beautiful, and I hope it brings the same feeling to you.
Enjoy!

Frodo: "I can't do this, Sam..."
Sam: "I know... It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here... But we are... It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the ending, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand... I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only the didn't. They kept going, because they were holding onto something...
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... And it's worth fighting for.

Our Field Fire

By -
One evening me, my mom, Olivia, and my Nana were out shopping in Tyler. My dad and Sophie stayed home to work on the farm. After a day of shopping, lunch and fun we arrived  s ome and unloaded our bags. Olivia prepared to go to a Bible Study and me and Sophie made some candles. As Olivia and my mom walked out to the car to leave, they unexpectedly saw a big cloud of smoke coming from the field. My mom walked out to the pond where the smoke was coming from and saw part of our field burning with fire. Earlier in the day my dad started a burn pile in the field by the pond. The fire had spread from the pile and was moving closer to our tree farm! My mom ran to the barn to get the mule and headed out to find my dad, who was in the woods on his tractor. I was in the kitchen cooling my candles when Sophie called me to the door. She told me to get my shoes on and follow her to the pond. When we caught up to my Nana, Papa and Olivia (who had already started heading down there), we collec...

About My Christmas Season

By -
This Christmas month my family and I have been reading an Advent book by Ann Voskamp which shows us the true meaning of Christmas through stories from the Bible. The book is called Unwrapping the Greatest Gift. The greatest gift is Jesus, and the book shows us that instead of unwrapping gifts from under the tree, we can unwrap God’s love and let him be our greatest gift. During Advent we always do fun and exciting crafts as a family. This year we built Ginger Bread houses, cut out paper snowflakes, celebrated Saint Nicholas, learned about the legend of the Candy Cane, had a Christmas sing along, worked on Christmas puzzles, and watched Christmas movies by the fire.   When I was younger, we also did Advent but I did not understand it as well and focused more on the presents. Now I think of it as a celebration of Jesus’ birth and His love for me. God is the reason of this month, and we should spend it in His remembrance. This month to me is not just getting gifts on Christmas d...
