Sunrise of Love

It is a time of rejoicing in the Nebblett household as we witness the shaping of a new God-fearing family. We echo the sentiments of J.R. Miller in his eloquently expressed thoughts on marriage and family: “It is a high honor for a woman to be chosen from among all womankind to be the wife of a good and true man.” Luke Fisher is such a man, who has rightfully gained our respect, trust and affections over the past year. As the blessed Sabbath (June 8) was approaching, he honored our daughter and brought unspeakable joy to her heart through his marriage proposal. There is none other to whom we would rather give her, to lead her, by God’s grace, on her journey to the very gates of heaven. Miller remarks “A true wife makes a man’s life nobler, stronger, grander by the omnipotence of her love, turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.” May you, our precious, faithful daughter, Chantée, be empowered by our gracious Lord to be such a wife to him, t

2019 Reflections

We’ve watched another year come and go, its joys and perplexities now registered on the pages of our history.

Each of the 3 new mommies-to-be—Natasha, Vanessa and Shayla had hopes of experiencing the joys of natural childbirth in a birthing center... ...while Chantee, our more veteran mommy of 3 babes, aspired to (and enjoyed:) the fourth

By Example

I’ve always known that children learn best from example. As a parent of many toddlers, sometimes that thought is overwhelming. “What kind of example am I setting right now...?” It inspires me to aim higher, yes. But it also sobers and humbles me. For instance, how often to I complain to my children that I am tired of hearing complaining? 🙊 In all seriousness, I start and end each day on my knees asking earnestly for grace to be a picture of Jesus to my precious babies. And a picture of godly, faithful, contented motherhood. The other week we were planting strawberries. Lynnea Rose is a real helper girl and wanted to hand me the plants. Sometimes she pulled the leaves off when trying to free the plugs from their tray and more than once I had to stop myself from encouraging her to “go and play”. How easy it is to forget the simple truth that in order for little ones to become proficient helpers they must be allowed to help. Suddenly she paused and “checked” on the baby that she wa
