BLESSINGS!

Since I've posted last, there's been so many wonderful things going on around here! First, God has kept us well. We're dealing with sinus infections, but that's just a natural hazard of living in East Tennessee!

 

Next, I had a very good appointment with the OB, and baby #3 is doing fine. I'm still sick, but it's not as bad.  May 27 is the big day-----we have the ultrasound to find out if I drag out the space bags with boy baby clothes or girl baby clothes! 

 

 

I have just finished reading Passionate Housewives: Desperate for God  by Stacey McDonald and Jennie Chancey [see her site www.ladiesagainstfeminism.com ]. WHAT A BLESSING!  I wish every woman I know could read this and be gripped by the vision of victorious Biblical womanhood!  I have so many stories over the years of being put down for being a fulltime wife, mother, and homemaker by----of all folks-----church people. If only Christian wives and mothers could see, as is plainly shown in this dear gem of a book, the joy and blessing of having more, but having it God's way. WOW!!! BUY THIS BOOK!!!!

 

Having read that, I pulled out my underlined copy of Home Comforts: the Art and Science of Keeping House by Cheryl Mendelson  to get our home back on track. After over 3 months of constant sickness, some things have been seriously let go. With God's help, and the help of two hardworking and sweethearted children, we've been able to restore order to our home.

 

This first weekend in May is the beginning of decoration time, when different churches have homecomings and grave decorations. This week, we put flowers on my grandparents graves' at Rocky Branch Bethel Baptist Church. We'll have a decoration every weekend in May.  My daughter and I were talking about why we do this and who the people we remember were [most of them died before she was born].  I told her that one day there would be no more decoration days. She said, "Why?"  What a joy to have a teaching moment to say, "Because when we live with Jesus, no one will die anymore. "

 

Isn't that a precious thought? In Heaven, we'll give flowers to each other and enjoy them together. We won't be standing by a grave wishing to see our loved ones, grieving over separation. Truly, what a day that will be!

About Me

What don't I write about? Mostly, it's about homeschooling, our family life, and the persecuted church. But I take sidetrips for interesting or fun topics. Don't expect perfect spelling or design here, though. I'm a happy preacher's wife and homeschooling mama to three lil darlin's!
