Little moments that struck me; moments that would probably not strike another soul for any reason but made me pause in wonder.
I see GOD in the glasses drying, perfumed in mint and in the sunspots dancing around reading babies and in fog laying low and in feisty girl eyes that glimmer round pointy orange fingers.

"If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me.
I will be FOUND by you," says the Lord.
Jeremiah 29:13-14
Beautiful.
ReplyDelete(Love the one of Judah. My, such an advanced child, from such an advanced homeschooling mom! :P :D)
Thank you, this reminds me of 'Be still and know that I am the Lord'. Love the glasses drying and the books. My homeschooled kids spent many an hour with stacks of books just like that. In our neck of the woods right now, we are enjoying pink flowering plum trees and yellow forsythia bushes. All of the earth sings His praise.
ReplyDeleteMy mom beat me to commenting! I am one of hers that remembers spending hours with stacks of library books like that! I love all your pictures. You have captured each moment wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteLove that one of Andrew and the chickens. That would be Brady, (if we can ever talk the other grownup into keeping his we'll get chickens word) the boy eats breathes and sleeps chickens.
ReplyDeleteALL gorgeous pictures Rebecca!
love all of those moments and the recognition that He put them there for only YOU! so great!! thanks for linking up :)

ReplyDeleteI was reading another website and I thought of you...http://www.keeperofthehome.org/about She has an amazing blog with lots of great info. My son and I are going to start the GAPS diet soon so I was looking at all her info because they are on the GAPS diet as well. Don't know if that link will works but anyways thought I'd share. :)
Love the table mounded with books....
ReplyDeleteOh I just loved your photos. Your little one sitting with the stack of books is priceless!
ReplyDeleteRebecca,
ReplyDeleteThis comment is unrelated to this post, but I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find the eggnog recipe you posted. Could you somehow direct me to the page?
Thanks so much,
Kris Zerby
Hi Rebecca, Another off topic question... Do you have any ideas for easter egg coloring other than the boring Paas kits? I too have chickens and have to deal with blue and brown eggs. Thank you!

Riahli~ thank you for the link! I will check her out! The name sounds vaguely familiar though!
ReplyDeleteKris~ I usually make eggnog in blender batches (so everyone can enjoy them) and I make them very fast-no cooking. We use our own eggs and only the freshest, so I don't worry in the slightest about giving raw eggs to my children. If you are looking for a cooked recipe, it is best to google it.
For raw eggnog, I use 8 eggs, 1/8 to 1/4 cup sugar or honey, 1- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, a sprinkling of nutmeg, a few icecubes to make it extra cold and fill the blender up with milk (to two inches on top.) Of course, I don't actually measure anything. I just plop them all in. If you do it and it is too watery, add a bit more milk, not sweet enough add more sugar. That sort of thing. Hope this helps!
Rebecca~ here is one link for you:
