I love how pictures can show us all the beauty and goodness that is in
our current daily lives.
I had some fun going through various cookbooks for ideas
on things to bake in the future and for brunch ideas.
I am planning a brunch and also thinking of fun things to have when DV
I have family over this summer.
We had gotten a Christmas gift of various meats and we had 2 of the
hamburgers on Friday on toasted English Muffins with white cheddar cheese +
Dutch Gouda cheese. They were so tasty!
We enjoyed watching a few of the Walton's shows during Bright Week, having
Kulich and cheese Pascha.
I read a lot of CS Lewis In the Time of War and am enjoying it.
I need to remember to read more of my CS Lewis collection, including various of his
letters, which we have in print at home in our home library.
I have still not fully recovered from the cough/congestion but I was given
the strength (and voice!) to teach Sunday School this past Sunday,
which was a real delight.
We were at our favourite diner twice recently and enjoyed various
none-fasting foods!
Sometimes I get a bit disappointed in not feeling my best
(this Lent has set me back in terms of illness) but I am really trying to see
how many things I am able to do and that while I may not feel the best
some days, or parts of the day, I have been given the strength to do what
I have most hoped to do - and to be patient as I seek to regain
health and strength.
I appreciated this blog post of a Mother who burned out by
experienced. It was a good reminder, esp. in the understanding that our
identity, who we ARE, is not from what we are able to DO or have,
or the ideals we have. Yes, I buy mainly organic food for our home,
but we eat out too. I am still learning the 'art of balance' in terms of things
and being grateful in all things.
It's often when I look back at the pictures I took, that I see
how wonderful things are over all and the beauty that is in my life.
