Some things about me
My name is Sylvia Schroeder. I married my high school jungle-boy sweetheart. We’ve been married a v-e-r-y l-o-n-g t-i-m-e. Even before Phil swept me off my feet with his exotic missionary-kid stories, I felt God calling me into overseas ministry. Together, we spent most of our married years in global work, many in Italy.
We learned more than taught. We grew to understand our best days start with a cappuccino and end with a plate of pasta.
We learned the Bible is our lifeline, family is a gift to treasure:
- Four married children and their four spouses. (It was just yesterday)
- Fourteen grandchildren, four grand-in-laws. (We’ve just begun.)
- Four great-grandchildren. (Unlimited potential.)
I write about all of them. My passion is for Jesus’ imprint to expand with each generation.
OH, Some other things about me!
- Married to One & Only Husband 52 years and counting
- Pronounced Shrāder not Shrōder
- Prayed with my high school Principal to accept Christ
- Award-winning author, love speaking, contributor to 11+ book compilations
- Lived in 3 countries, visited over 40.

This space exists as a place to reflect on what the Bible says to each of us in the big picture of our lives and for every ordinary day. Here nurtures a legacy of generational faith and eternal imprint.
I hope you grab a cup of coffee, cappuccino, espresso or a tall glass of iced tea and sit down with me for a moment of quiet together.
