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!

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.

I love those kinds of crackers! So good. Rest is such a hard thing to balance in my life. It's definitely something I have to work at.
ReplyDeleteThose crackers look so delicious! I need to go check them out!
