A Homespun Update and A Reading of the First Two Installments of, "We Have This Hope"

It's been so long since I've filmed a video and I've certainly missed you all. Lots of my efforts in the past year have been centered on writing original content. In this video, I give a reading of the first two installments of my fictional work, "We Have This Hope."

I’m glad your back. I’ve enjoyed We Have This Hope so much. My words for this year are joy in the ordinary. I follow another lovely Christian lady’s blog from Australia and her whole website is joy in the ordinary. I feel that there is so much busyness and striving to to “greater” things and the everyday joys are lost. Thanks for always encouraging us to enjoy the ordinary in our lives.

Absolutely! I love this theme! Thanks so much for watching and for sharing.

Dearest Sherry, it is SO wonderful to see you here on KZbin!! It's been so long!! I was just thinking of you a few days ago and wondering how you were doing. I am so grateful to have watched your video and your "We Have This Hope" story is SO beautifully written!! I cannot wait to hear more. Your singing is so incredibly beautiful and sweet, thank you so very much for sharing this uplifting and inspiring video. I don't have fb so it's always super lovely to catch you here on youtube! I'm sending you lots of love and many blessings to you and your family and wishing you all a happy, healthy, safe, and blessed 2024!! God bless you, sweet dear sister in Christ. Much love, Seraphina.

Oh Sherri! It’s so nice to “see” you but what a wonderful treat!!! I’d love it if you would keep reading. I follow another channel and every Friday she reads a few chapters from books and I just love it. I think the story is wonderful and now of course I can’t wait to find out what’s happening!

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Tracy! I sure have missed you here on KZbin. Thanks for the suggestion about reading aloud on the channel. Maybe I can start doing some of that. Hope you are doing well, friend!

[@tracybingham7739]

@@thehomespunwife that would be lovely!! I actually have moved to Asheville with my son and daughter in law and currently looking for a house in SC. It’s a little busy/stressful but my time with my son has been wonderful! Hope all is well with you and yours. ♥️

@@tracybingham7739 You are not too far from me if you are in Asheville for the moment. I pray the Lord will lead you to just the right house in SC!

It's so nice to see you here Sherry. It was so nice listening to your lovely voice read these chapters. I've read all of the book and can't wait for the balance to be released. I so appreciate you sharing your story. May God bless you abundantly as you move forward in His will. ❤

Really enjoyed the installments of your story. I think 🤔 there is a future book hiding i your future Sheri. I know most of us would enjoy a copy on our home shelf😊. The added singing voice was a beautiful addition to the story. I could see the story read enacted at a Christian school or a children's hospital. There are so many places for your story to be shared.😊 God bless.

@@thehomespunwife could I ask you to pray for our granddaughter Madeline? She had cancer as a young child and has now developed bone cancer. She is 19 and a sophmore at Ohio State where she studies Molecular Genetics. Her chemo is brutal and she will undergo surgery to remove a portion of her pelvic bone followed by more chemo. Thank you so much 💖

[@elizabethtrent7398]

Oh my goodness, Sherry! I have missed your videos and hearing your sweet voice so much. I have loved reading We Have This Hope. I am going to print it out and give it to my best friend. She’s not on Facebook. They just placed her Dad in in home hospice care yesterday. I know this will help her get through these difficult days. I can’t wait for you to read again. Welcome back and Happy New Year!

[@thehomespunwife]

Thank you Elizabeth! I'm sorry to hear about your friend's father. I know this must be a tough time for her. Praying the Lord will be her strength and comfort in these days.♥

Im just wondering how God wrapped up so much talent into one sweet little lady?!

[@thehomespunwife]

You are so sweet, Arlene. I really don't feel talented at all. I just have wonderful online friends, like you, who have always been so gracious to me. ♥️

Sherry ! 😊 it is so good to see you. I have had you on my heart the several days, hoping you were alright and wondering if you were still on KZbin. I have not had a Facebook account since June. I am on instagram though. I would really to connect with you. Hope you and your family are well. Your story is so very good. Love it.❤️

[@thehomespunwife]

Hi Cindy! I've missed you! I started an Instagram last summer because several followers said it was their preferred way to keep up. But I am just now getting the hang of it. I do share some personal pictures over there and, now and then, I share some of my poems. It's wonderful to hear from you and hopefully we can stay connected here and on IG. ♥

[@cindyvisser4088]

I have missed you too😊 I’ll see if I can find you on IG ❤️
