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.
So proud of our sweet girl today! She started violin lessons a couple months ago and today was her first recital. She’s still learning her rhythms on open strings, so we aren’t officially on an actual song yet. 🙂 I LOVE the Suzuki method— it focuses so much on good habits at the beginning- bow hold, resting position, violin position, etc… as well as a lot of listening to the recordings of the songs she will be learning. We love her teacher— she’s doing a marvelous job with Raylen. So excited to watch her grow!
I just got off a video call with some new friends, telling them ALL the things we love about where we shop. It’s literally one of my favorite things to do. I don’t sell a thing, but I do love referring people to shop for all the things everyone has to buy somewhere anyway. Yeah, the boring stuff, like toothpaste, shampoo, laundry detergent, hand soap, skin care, etc… One of them said at the end, “Wow, I thought I just wanted to check out the cleaning products. I had no idea the store was this big.”
And it is! Almost 500 products! It’s replaced most of my Walmart and Amazon orders. I’m still getting all of our household consumables (you’re buying those things somewhere too;). Shopping affordable, high-quality, safe, American-made products just makes sense.
If you wash your clothes, dishes, face, or hair, this store has something for you. 🧼 There’s a reason 20K-40K people are switching to shop here every month. 😎 We’ve shopped here two years now, and STILL get excited when that box shows up at my door.
