This last week flew by



Last Monday I found chicken on special for $1.77 pound for breast.
I cut them into tenders and then laid them out on plastic wrap and froze them. Then you just bag them. This type of thing is sold for up to $9. pd.
It will serve the family well.
I cooked all week and did lots of dishes and cleaned house every day.

At the grocery store a deal on goggles answered the children's hearts desire.

They were so full of delight and the floor got too wet! It was the sweetest thing.
Dove (who was gifted with a jump rope from the tooth fairy) squealed in glee... Oh I love that tooth fairy!" " She is so awesome!" in full fantasy as if the reality did not exist except with a sweet coy little side smile when she saw me beaming.

On Thursday I had a group to chaperon at the zoo. We were several classes full on 6 buses.
This is the group of kids I had. Dove her friend and the two boys that were just wonderful kids.
I packed a back pack and brought extra food and it was needed., One child had no money and no food along. We all shared our food and we all had a grateful time.
We went to the gift shop before the crowds and the children were each given an endangered animal that they got to keep. Mr. U . and I decided that it would be good to do so.

On the way back we had several of the children singing in the bus. The driver played music that the children knew. He was a nice guy. Every field trip the drivers have just been fantastic.

We all marched into class and I went home for a few moments then returned to get the children at days end .

We do several head counts so as to be good and sure we have them all. Our class of 21 had 5 parent volunteers! To me that was impressive!
It was a fun day.

On Friday the children spent a few hours at my girl friends and I worked on the house. We had the open house on Saturday .

My kids love "swimming" in the tub, too. I just lay down a bunch of towels and let them go!

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
