When the world turns white!

God created such a beautiful world for us to live our lives in; beautiful scenery all around us for our life's race. Do we stop and awe at His great creation? Do we stop to say Thank you to our wonderful Lord and Savior. What an amazing artist, the best ever. What a mighty God!...and worthy of our praises!!

I thought I'd share some photos I took this week. I actually had to stop the car on the back road to our home, so that I could take a few of these. They were just too beautiful to pass up!

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things."

~Philippians 4:8

"The heavens and the earth are not to be worshipped, as some foolish men attempt to do. They are given to lift our hearts out of our selfish perspectives and raise them to heights of praise for what our Creator is." ~ Bob Schultz

SNOW-fun School lessons

Lately we have had "Snow"-much fun with our elementary homeschool lessons. These are some of the books we have enjoyed. It's so nice on a cool snowy Winter's day to dit on a chair with my two youngest ones and a blanket and pile of good books! (What a blessing!)

Then this week, we made snow scenes with torn paper pieces:

My daughter enjoyed this and made a snowman.

My son made a fort with two trees:

Here are their finished pieces. I am now enjoying them on our firepace.

We also go to a local FIAR (Five-in-a-row) club. We had our monthly get-together this week. We went on a Winter's walk and found animal footprints in the snow. Then came inside for hot chocolate and snacks. We are making quilts this year. Each time we get or make a quilt square to go with the books. At the end we will have a nice quilt and special keepsake.

Happy Winter, friends!
