God of beauty

"God is whimsical, transcendent, and like a playful dancer, weaving steps and songs into the pattern of our days. As the author of humor, delight, tastes, sounds, feelings, touch, and affection, he tucks beauty along our pathway to show us more of his artistry."

"God's personality is to be a provider of beauty as the very expression of his nature." from Dancing With My Father by Sally Clarkson

I need to keep myself in tuned with God and remember to gain my strength and all I need from Him and Him alone.
I, as mother, am the conductor to my family's lives. There is no one else who will see that I get what I need to continue conducting so that my husband and children can have a sweet song for the Lord but myself ...so into His word I need to dwell so He can help me, guide me, encourage me! Thank you, Lord for being all I need!

Home and the Great Commision

I read this article entitled Home and the Great Commission .
I wanted to call my (older) daughters over to read it but they were both sleeping. (We've been very busy lately.) No matter their ages, I love seeing my children peacefully sleeping. Anyway, I will definately have them read the link from here. I hope you might click on the link and read it, too!
....Promoting Beautiful Womanhood...

Taken from the article:
"Imagine, though, a different sort of place: Home
Home: as a hub for ministry and discpleship.
Home: where children are brought up in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord, diligently trained to impact the world outside of their doors.
Home: headquarters for visionary men to lead and inspire their families.
Home: the domain of visionary women who desire to bless their families, their churches, and their communities.
Home: a place where those who understand the critical importance of a strong, biblically-functioning family unit to the well-being of society flourish."

"It is in her own home that this warmth of heart and this openness of hand are first to be shown. It is as a wife and mother that her gentleness performs its most sacred ministry.”

- from The Wife’s Part in The Family by J.R. Miller

Easter

It has been awhile since I posted so I wanted to do a quick post. We've been busy working on our home( mostly with outside work) as well as working through our (home)school lessons. We've had a lot of fun times as well!
Here are a few photos from my Easter...
My girls...
My Boys...
I feel very blessed as a mother! The Lord is so good!

I hope you and your family had a wonderful time celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior! He is now sitting on the right hand of our Father in Heaven! Hallelujah!
