Sometimes I forget Jesus lived and walked this “Earth” Journey just like me- exactly like all of us.  My focus tends to think of Jesus post resurrection!  You know-  loved, worshiped, glorified: our Victorious Savior, the Living Word, Alpha Omega, the Beginning and the End, Soon and Coming King! This Holy Week, I’ve fixed my heart and thoughts upon […]

Daddy Treasure Tribute!

March 17, 2012 / Cindy Barclay / "Treasure Trove" Blog Roll

When God has blessed you with a great Daddy, I suppose you’ll always be a Daddy’s girl.  🙂  I’ve been blessed to have been given a wonderful Dad- hardworking, loving, kind, friendly, outgoing, encouraging, and a perfect example of not letting some very unfair, tragic things in life make him bitter.  Nine years ago, on Focus on the Family, I […]

I’m so thankful for people like Miriam!  She traveled the road of downs syndrome 6 years before I did and has left some amazing encouragements and spiritual insights!  She inspires me to do the same. Recently, the singer, Aaron Schust and his wife have given birth to a son with downs syndrome.  Since I’m further along in our […]

God Rides the Winds- He can Handle Your Storms

When you can’t handle your storms- turn to the God who rides the winds. There are solar storms sending solar winds 92.96 MILLION miles through space to our little privileged planet!  This, in turn, has created the most amazing aurora borealis in the last 50 years!  On the other hand, the storms are also shutting down air travel and […]

The following story is shared by my “sister” in the Lord- Pam.  Recently, on Facebook, we were reconnected and I was grieved to hear she had been battling breast cancer.  As we visited, I was amazed at the journey of faith she has taken and how faithful God is to us all- even in our darkest moments and greatest challenges.  […]

A line in a famous song urges us to “Imagine there’s no heaven.”   No thank you Mr. Lennon. I’m going to imagine the promise of my Father who sacrificed His only Son so that I can live with Him forever in heaven!!! Lately, one of Bethany’s favorite phrases is “Can you imagine?”  Wish I […]

     Our granddaughter, Finley Faith (5) is amazing, wonderful, beautiful, sweet, kind and very talented!  🙂                                  I read somewhere that it’s perfectly proper and acceptable for a Nana, Grandma, or Oma to NOT ONLY THINK these things but SPEAK OUTLOUD the truths about their grandchildren! LOL  She’s also very artistic.  It seems she is […]

[panel style=”default” title=”About Cindy” text_align=”left”]Jeff & Cindy

Hi, I’m Cindy- 35 years of “livin” with my prince charming, Jeff. I’m a home maker, not a house wife, parent of 7, memory maker, mama bear, Nana to 11 & counting, Pastor’s wife and I’m daily amazed by the depths of God’s love.

I love reading, home schooling, encouraging others, playing the piano, worshiping, dating my husband, and planning parties and retreats for our clan. Someday, I really want a horse and learn to play the cello and viola.
