Quote of the Day

“Our sanctification does not depend as much on changing our activities as it does on doing them for God rather than for ourselves.” 

                                                           --Brother Lawrence

Amen......Amen.

Quote of the Day

"What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow."
                                           --Martin Luther

    

Makes ya think....anyhow... Bethany Hudson of The Apple Cider Mill has some really interesting things to say about this here
it makes me think of all that I do, I should be doing as to the Lord,  and out of obedience to Him, not because it makes me or my family or anybody else happy, though, oddly enough, it does.....



May your day be blessed....

Only Because of Jesus,

Is This Cool or What??

Ok, I know I've been away, and I'll explain about that later....promise!  But, in the meantime, I had to share this find on the Martha Stewart website from 2008 (yes, yet another example of how behind I perpetually am....sigh....) 

"What may appear at first glance to be an unconventional armoire is actually a set of bookcases attached along one side. Opened, it's a compact, self-contained, innovative crafts or office nook. Closed, it's far more decorative than any tidied-up desk, without the slightest hint of its contents.

Bookcase Armoire How-To

1. Same-size bookcases, painted to match, are joined along one side by long piano hinges. One case is affixed to the wall; the other is set on casters to swing out and expose the workstation. A vintage latch adds an ornate touch."

 The possibilities are endless!  Modern or classic, funky or traditional or maybe a bit of both......what a fun idea!!!

It's A Two for One Deal....

My sister Merry and I decided on a two for one deal. I get to have my niece for a little over a week, and in return, or maybe as a security deposit, not sure on that one :-), I send two of our girls to Illinois with her.   So, Maddy and Clara left yesterday morning for their roadtrip 2010......the following blog is a story in pictures courtesy of Madeleine...........
































Clara happy as a clam to be at Aunt Merry and Uncle Philip's house, because, let's face it, Aunt Merry gives her chocolate milk whenever she asks for it!  I mean what's not to like?  Have fun girlies!!!!  Mommy misses you already, this will be much tougher on me than on you....... sniff......sniff......

May your day be blessed....

Ooookey Dokey Then......

 

Clara excitedly dashes up to tell me, and I quote, "In my world everyone is horses, and they eat rainbows and poop butterflies!"  Ooookey Dokey then.......not sure if I want to join her world.

 

I think in my world, all cleaning would magically be done (a la Mary Poppins), and one could eat chocolate



and chessescake, along with coffee of course without gaining weight.


 



Yeah, now that's a world I can get behind........I'm just sayin'.........

May the rest of your day be blessed....

Only Because of Jesus,

anne
