I know my posts lately haven’t been the most joyful, especially as most seek to ‘enjoy the Christmas season’. But with the comments and feedback that I’ve received from those around me, I am more aware of trial and grief this year than ever before. I’m usually one to find the silver lining in all the clouds and I still do, as much as I can, but there is also a time to know your feelings. Feel the grief, sadness, difficulty and let it be there.

Merry Christmas from the Mintz Family,
This has been a very full year for us! I hardly know where to start! We have had lots of time at home, time with extended family, a few local and out of state car trips, field trips, trips to the pool, birthdays, picnics, concerts, plays, a few trips into Washington DC. and lots of other fun activities! In March Brian and I took a weekend away from the kiddos and went to a marriage retreat which was a special time together to focus on us. It was close by and the kids were with Mom and Dad, but it was the first time we had been away from all the kids since Xanthie was born 2 years ago! We also had a car trip to Nashville to visit Breanne and her family which was probably the highlight of our summer. It was such a special time with her and she was a fantastic host and had all kinds of things to do. We were on the go… and in the kitchen all week! Continue reading “Family Christmas Letter”

What does it mean to be overwhelmed? To me it means to be overcome completely in mind or feeling, to be overpowered or over come, crushed. And that’s how I feel right now. Continue reading “Overwhlemed”
Last Friday we had a little memorial service for our precious little boy, missing from our family. We had it at home and it marked one month since he was delivered. As a family we buried him next to Avi a few weeks ago, but waited a bit for a good day to hold a little service for him, in our home, with close friends and family. Continue reading “Dear Jussi”
Jussi (YU-si) (God is merciful) Emmanuel (God with us) Mintz
was delivered today,
at 9:29 AM, November 4th at 19 weeks gestation.
He is now safe and well in the arms of Jesus.
The whole family grieves the loss of this precious little one, but also find strength and provision in Christ.
We would appreciate your continued prayers.
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 NKJV
I think it might be time for a rainbow baby!!! Continue reading “A New Baby!!!”
I haven’t really ever done a post like this, but this seems to be a new season in my life, in our family and for the blog too! This post is definitely a bit more philosophical than most, and I think we often don’t take time to slow down, think and contemplate or meditate. So here is an opportunity to read, think and reflect inward. Continue reading “What is ‘your life’?”
We eat eggs almost every morning for breakfast. Occasionally my kids will ask for something different which ends up being steel cut oatmeal bake, grits or gluten free french toast. We all do like eggs, but having something different once in a while is nice. Continue reading “Sausage and Basil Mini Quiche (GF and DF)”
“What is that?” You may ask?
