Gatherings

Here’s what’s happening in my kitchen…My big success is that I actually went grocery shopping and bought more than 2 days worth of food! I am considering making a “cooking schedule” so that the kids can help me with the cooking. Right now there’s a chicken roasting in the oven.
With the children…They are [...]

Yesterday, as my 1rst-3rd grade Sunday School class came in the classroom door, before everyone was even seated, they began to offer up prayer requests and praises. You’ve gotta smile; I did. Somewhere in there you know someone is going to have a concern over a family pet, a request for the healing [...]

It’s Thankful Thursday…and I am THANKFUL! I was thinking how God’s teaching this old dog (me!) new tricks! The picture above is our dog. Christian recently taught him to walk on the treadmill a little. He doesn’t love it but he’ll do it as he aimlessly chases the treat ahead of him. He’s [...]

For Our Children
by Amy Carmichael
Father, hear us, we are praying,
Hear the words our hearts are saying;
We are praying for our children.
Keep them from the powers of evil,
From the secret, hidden peril;
Father, hear us for our children.
From the whirlpool that would suck them,
From the treacherous quicksand, pluck them;
Father, hear us for our children.
From the wordling’s hollow [...]

“He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.” Psalm 23:2-3a
I’m grounded. Well, maybe not grounded. But I am hanging out in green pastures. I pinched a nerve or something and my knee and foot decided to swell way up. So, I have been icing and [...]

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” James 1:17
Winter has set in…brrrrr…I can’t say I love to be cold but I do love the simple pleasures that come with winter and especially a stormy day:
~Watching snow fall.
~Knowing it’s [...]

This picture is of my little sanctuary. I’ll explain more about it in a minute…
Well, it’s January. That’s a very significant statement to most homeschoolers. If you’re asking “why?” I’ll explain for your sake. It’s because, for most of us, January is the hardest month to homeschool!! We’ve been homeschooling since September, we’re [...]

I Celebrate the Day
~Relient K

And with this Christmas wish is missed
The point I could convey
If only I could find the words to say to let You know how much You’ve touched my life

Because here is where You’re finding me, in the exact same place as New Year’s eve
And from a lack of my persistency
We’re less [...]

I have been blogging for quite some time. I can’t tell you how long ’cause I don’t know but it could be measured in years. This is actually my 3rd blog. Every once in awhile I feel the need (whether I follow that need or not) to just remind the world that my world ain’t [...]

What’s happening in my home?….
In my kitchen… I am trying to work on more variety in my kitchen. I can easily get in a cooking rut, cooking the same [...]
