Welcome . . .

It began with and old, old book;
The Scottish Chiefs by name.
It is known as the truest account of William Wallace;
breathtaking, valiant, romantic, heroic, and inspiring.
And there was a home atop a hill
with the most beautiful view,
Ellerslie by name; a place Wallace described as
"the refuge of the friendless and the comfort of the unhappy".


And so we too have the joy of dwelling in such a place.
Though it is not the hills of Scotland,
its resemblance is quite close.
We too are blessed with a place that is a comfort for the weary, a place where peace, laughter and beauty abound.
And just like Ellerslie, it too was crafted by God's hands.

Timeless . . .


TYBEE ISLAND




rare
cherished
unique
one of a kind
these words describe our favorite treasures

what is a treasure?
someone or something precious and valuable,
 of great worth and importance.
what treasures come to mind . . .
for me,
its a glorious sunrise or sunset
the sound and smell of the beach
Tybee and its many memories
amazing clouds
the sound of joy and laughter
happy tears
dear friends
pictures of special moments that you never want to forget
the birth of our three children
our daughter's wedding day
making memories  
a bunch of fresh flowers
writing letters and receiving them
reading a wonderful book on a rainy day
enjoying our children
movie nights
and the many gatherings at Ellerslie ~

: : : :

but more than anything,
 most importantly,
and above all these wonderful things
i treasure the Lord,
listening for Him,
reading His words,
being His child,
worshiping Him,
and one day, living with Him forever.
nothing could ever out treasure the King of Kings.
He is everything to me
and all i need.
all the earthly treasures i may have been blessed with
will never, ever be the treasure He is,
for He alone is "the treasure" . . .

that is what treasure means to me ~
