No Need to Fret, Just Look Around You


Rescued Daffodills finally bloom after two years!
Absolutely stunning!



"It's our human nature to fret and stew and try everything in the world to satisfy ourselves, but that is never going to be the answer. I myself have found tremendous comfort and joy in observing God's creation."

Homemaking is like Washing Feet

In Preschool this week, wejust read in the Jesus Storybook Bible, the story of The Servant King. It tells of how only the lowliest servant would wash the "stinky feet" of others. Yet, Jesus in His last earthly act of service before his death stoops low to wash the "stinky feet" of the familly of God. 

In this encouraging two-part article,the author likens the simple, ordinary and oft-times hard work of homemaking to washing the feet of our own family. Part two, paints the homemaker as anything but boring and dull.   Read for yourself and I pray you'll be encouraged to give the best of yourself to your family!
