What’s happening in my home?

In my kitchen: kefir, flat bread, chicken salad made with roasted chicken, cream of tomato soup, chocolate cake. homekeepers-journal_small3

With our marriage: peaceful and comfortable. I like this stage very much.

With the children: school is in full swing, lots of science this week with the garden activities, drawing insects looking up their habitats and observing.

Around the homestead: quiet mornings on the deck with a cup of coffee, walks through the wet grass, geese overhead, leaves just beginning to turn.

In my garden: Put away wire cages and cane poles, harvested the last tomatoes and beans from the raised beds, saw a plastic snake in the big garden and nearly wet my pants. I swear it wasn’t there yesterday.

In my Inner Man: Asking God what He wants me to do with some new information.  I realize it may be to simply pray, but I want to be open to be His hands and feet.

What is your Inner Man? In 2 Corinthians 4 Paul gives us a clue about what he means when he says “the inner man”.   In that scripture he says that “our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day” (4:16 KJV).  So for Christians even though there is something about us that is getting old, decaying and deteriorating and dying..there is also something about us that is growing, becoming more alive, richer and stronger every day we live and follow Christ.  That is what Paul calls our “inner man.”
