Advent and other Musings

live.

We've had a lot of happenings around here, including Britt's sweet sixteen birthday and today Kate's third birthday. It's surreal to me - to have a daughter with a driver's license and another still in a carseat. Surreal but crazy beautiful too. Earlier today a friend lamented giving away her nursing pillow and a bouncy seat. She cried because she says they don't plan on having anymore children. She has two very little ones, the oldest is only 3.  But I wonder, how many people make those kind of "final" family-size decisions when they are in the thick of the hard toddler/baby years, only to regret it later. Because those years do pass away and the next thing you know you have a lot more time to sew ...

New suppertime scripture

I chose this particular scripture after reading about it on Elizabeth's blog.  I love it.


You have been told, O mortal, what is good, and what the Lord requires of you: Only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God.  Micah 6:8


You can see our past suppertime scriptures at this post.

Suppertime Scripture

We have memorized lots of Scripture verses just by having the verse on a whiteboard in the kitchen and reciting it after our blessing at each meal.  It really works!  So that I can keep a record of our verses from now on, I'm going to update this post everytime we start on a new verse, about every 2-3 weeks or so.  I like to spend time and just let it really sink in.  There's no rush.  You will know what "behavioural issues" we might be facing in our family because I try to choose a verse that will help :).


And our latest one:

"You have been told, O mortal, what the Lord requires of you: only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8
