Rest, New Recipes and More

WORDS TO LIVE BY


Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 
Matthew 11:28-29


TODAY'S QUOTE

Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop. ~ Ovid

ON MY MIND

The past three Sundays our pastor, David Chappell,  has been speaking on rest. It was interesting timing because just before that I had been thinking about rest - resting in Jesus, physical rest, emotional rest, and how it all ties together. Here are some thoughts from Sunday's sermon. 

"God never intended for us to rest from work. He called us to work from rest."

"What you do is not your identity. Jesus is your identity."

"The Jewish day begins at sundown."

IN THE KITCHEN

For dinner this evening I made 7-Can Soup and Seasoned Buttery Crackers. Both recipes came from The Pioneer Woman and were new for us. They were really good and I'm sure I'll make them again. I loved how easy the soup was to make.



HOMESCHOOL

We got a lot more done today than yesterday!


SOME OF THE RESOURCES WE USED TODAY

Austin and Amanda


Our Scripture reading today was Romans 15.

Michael




Me


AROUND THE HOUSE

Today I did two loads of laundry, swept, washed dishes, cleaned off the countertops and shelves by the kitchen window. Austin did the daily cleaning in the upstairs bathroom, and took out the trash. Amanda did the daily cleaning in the downstairs bathroom, vacuumed the playroom and living room, mopped the kitchen, mudroom and bathroom floors, and did her laundry.

IN THE GARAGE

Doug and Austin worked a little more this evening on putting sides on the trailer.



OUT AND ABOUT

Our only outing today was Michael and me going to the grocery store for milk.

AND MORE

A friend came over this evening and we had a good talk while our children played together.
