Mar. 17, 2008 - Loss, Spring and Keepers at Home meetings
This past week we lost a precious sister in Christ. Our pastor's wife passed away from Ovarian Cancer. She fought the good fight. She passed away very peacefully we are told and never once complained. She will be dearly missed even though we know that she is in a better place it's not realistic to say we won't miss her. I feel the most for the family and are praying for their comfort during this time of grief. One thing I think of when I think of this sister is how she set such a good example to us younger sisters to love our husbands, children and to never talk bad about anyone. She was truly a blessing to know. She was not prideful or boastful but full of love and care for others. I can learn a lot from her example.

Spring is coming on nicely. Old man winter got the hint I think? There are a lot of bulbs that are starting to come up and it's getting warmer. The children are able to play outside a bit more which is very nice. I am hoping to have some peas planted soon as St. Patrick's day (we really don't celebrate) but that is the day that I've read that you're supposed to put peas in and it worked well last year so I'm sticking to it...now I just need to get out and buy those seeds. Oh and Happy 8th Anniversary Jeff & Nikki! I hope you had a great one!!!
We finished up our quilting pillow. They turned out nicely. The girls worked hard on them and did a great job. It's a nine patch I do believe.
We're moving on now to First Aid and Fire Safety. I'm combining them because they go so well together. This week we're taking a tour of the brand new fire house down the street. I'm told that they have a brand new big ladder truck and that it would be worth seeing. The kids have been asking me about the field trip. Fire houses are always fun.
I really need to take a new belly picture to post. I am huge at this point no use denying what you can see! Hehehe. Drinking lots of Red Raspberry Leaf tea and I'm going to be starting my Evening primrose oil tablets here soon. I'm also drinking Spirulina everyday. It gives me a great lift when I need it! I make a shake out of it. I hear so many good things about it and even Les says when I'm feeling down go drink some Spirulina. Well the Lord knows what he's doing when he gives us good things to help us. Now I just need to stick with it because I need all the help I can get while being pregnant. Those hormones aren't an easy thing to deal with! The benefits of Spirulina

Sorry to hear about the passing of your dear sister in Christ. Praying her family are comforted.
We still have snow here, although it is slowly disappearing! With the rain we are having today it sure is helping it go faster. I too look forward to getting out in the garden. Did you plant your peas?? I don't think i could plant pease that early here, the garden is still under snow! :)
Yes, I would love to see a better picture of your pillow quilts! That is a sweet picture of you and your daughter. :)
