May I brag

Christopher just read this book all by himself. This is a huge accomplishment for him.

He also loved it!!!!

Snowy mornings

This morning I woke up to the smell of wood burning in a wood stove. Now mind you I don't own one. My neighbor has an outside wood furnace. I looked outside and the snow was gently flowing through the air, like a picture on a Christmas card. How wonderfully refreshing.

I then went to make coffee so that Tom and I can have our quiet time before the rumble and tumble of the kids and animals.

I love how the peace of our God can show it's self in the simple things that surround us.

Isaiah 52:7

⁷ How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of the messenger who brings good news,
the good news of peace and salvation,
the news that the God of Israel reigns.

Vision

♪♫ Open the eyes of my heart Lord, Open the eyes of my heart, I want to see you, I want to see you. ♪♫

Psalm 119:18

¹⁸ Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions.

Words

Looking back in the year 2010 , I can choose to be over whelmed by the mountains or be challenged by them

I have had pallets move in my life like a earth quake in my heart that have caused huge cracks and wholes were there wasn't any before.

The valleys are peaceful at times of heart ache.

^1-3 God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing.
You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
you find me quiet pools to drink from.
True to your word,
you let me catch my breath
and send me in the right direction.

⁴ Even when the way goes through
Death Valley,
I'm not afraid
when you walk at my side.
Your trusty shepherd's crook
makes me feel secure.

⁵ You serve me a six-course dinner
right in front of my enemies.
You revive my drooping head;
my cup brims with blessing.

⁶ Your beauty and love chase after me
every day of my life.
I'm back home in the house of God
for the rest of my life. Ps. 23

I think this scripture says it all.
