I don’t care if my kids ever know who the popular movie stars, cultural celebrities, or pop singers are, but I do hope we raise them with a love for God and His beautiful world. 🌳🌲
We finished Raylen’s first semester of violin lessons with the sweetest recital in our hospital lobby. She got to stand next to her cousin, who has been taking for several years now and just plays beautifully! Raylen has just started learning fingerings, so for this recital, she played on open strings and worked on having good rhythm and bow hold/motion. She loves it, and I love watching her learn! 🎻
I was practicing a fun medley of carols about the angels, and Raylen asked if she could do it with me. So, my little buddy throws in a few notes here and there. :)) “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing” is one of my favorite Christmas hymns. The gospel is SO clearly presented throughout all four verses— our sin, the fall of man, the deity of Christ, the message of His love and redemption… it’s all there, beautifully conveyed! I hope you all know the message of grace that starts at the manger (or really starts in the garden of Eden!) and ends with a cross and an empty tomb! What a Saviour!

Our conversation this morning:
Me: “Asher, what are you thankful for today?”
Asher: “I’m thankful that God so loved the world that He gave.”
Me too, buddy. Everything we have is because of Jesus. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. ❤️
Since the internet thinks I don’t know how to water mums or make mashed potatoes, we’ll just add another item to the List of Things I Cannot Do. 😄😉
So, I actually do know how to water mums, and I make a great pot of mashed potatoes. But I’ll quickly admit that I am a disaster at putting on a duvet. It gets done, but it ain’t pretty. I’m a “flat sheet/comforter” girl, but I could only find this spread in a duvet, and it was just perfect for Asher’s room. I still have a ways to go decorating his “big boy” room, but we’re headed in the right direction! 🦌
Let’s review the Donner DEP-20! Great option for the $300-400 price range. Comment PIANO for the link!
I came downstairs to switch over a load of laundry, and stopped at the piano to play y’all a song. ☺️💙 Today, in Bible time with the kids, we read Psalm 100, and talked about things we’re thankful for! It was so sweet hearing their little blessings. What are you thankful for today?
“Give Thanks”— Don Moen, 1986
I try every year. 😂
Meanwhile, some petunia I bought back in March is still thriving on the front porch, so it’s not a total loss.
