{Week 9} Ministry of Motherhood Chapters 13 & 14 Commentary

The Body and the Blood

 I read Beth Moore's blog this morning and thought that I would share the link.  May we never forget the sacrifice that our Savior made on that day! 


 The Body and the Blood

Waiting on My Turn

Sharing...one of the most resisted of the childhood lessons.  Over the last few months I have had much experience in the art of sharing...after my computer crashed!  I have spent the last few months waiting on "my turn"!!  Bring back memories??  So I had to learn to prioritize "my turn" usage...business, school, and then personal time.  I will share (no pun intended) with you that although I have missed the wonderful world of blogging, it has been a time of refreshing.  

Refreshing...

Quiet Time with my Savior
Prayer with my husband
Corporate Worship
Read-A-Louds with my boys
Sweet conversations with my girls
Hearing the voice and seeing the face of a dear friend
A good book and a good cup of coffee
Ladies Bible Study

Thank you Lord, it's just what I needed!

SWEET SUMMER TIME

Our summer has been a busy one!!  I had so many grand plans of all that I would accomplish during this first long break in several years!!  I must admit that my to do list hasn't got many checks on it!  We are all ready to get back to a more normal school schedule...so maybe that is worth a few missing checks on my list! 

The great thing about summer activities is that often the activity may provide one or more of the following: art, nature, science, history, worldview, and physical activity!  And that is music to the home school mom's ear! 

  

We have sipped more than a few glasses of sweet tea over good conversation with friends and family...what could be better than that?   How's your summer been?

A wonderful, encouraging message!! 

Happy Birthday Caleb!

Happy Birthday Caleb!

We celebrated Caleb's birthday this month...I can't believe that our baby is 7 years old!!  Of course he thinks he is just as big as the other boys!  We enjoyed a day full of celebration...beginning with chocolate chip pancakes with a whip cream smiley face!  Caleb was so excited that Megan was home for his birthday...so we were all together!

We enjoyed supper out at a local restaurant and returned home to a chocolate chess board cake (yummy) and various flavors of ice cream as well.  He had a blast opening the cards and gifts he received.  We gave him a darda power loop pyramid...so all the boys joined in to help put that together...and then the race was on for the next hour or so!

C  cutie, cuddly, character

A  acrobat, active, angel :)

L   loveable, lively, loyal

E   energetic, enjoyable, enthusiastic

B   boy, brother, brave, bold

We are so thankful for the gift of our Caleb...you are such a blessing!
