Fire!

 

 


This Thanksgiving, we are so thankful....


 - that our daughter, who was home alone Monday afternoon, kept a level head - calling 911 and evacuating herself and the dogs from the house by the time we were able to get home.


- that the firefighters were able to extinguish everything without anyone being hurt.


- that our house, only 30 feet from the shed that burned, had only minor damage.


- that I had just left with my van, which is usally parked between the two buildings.


- for neighbors who kept their hardware store open late and lent us tools to fix our melted pipes so we could have water that night.


- that we are insured and they are giving us replacement value on everything lost.


- for unfortunate events like this...because they open our eyes to everything that is really important to us and line our priorities back up the way that they should be.

I am thankful to friend. That noone got hurt, that your van was not there, that the house was not damaged, and that you can still praise God. Praying you are consoled, strengthened, and that your ever longing heart is filled with JOY.
Love ya

Welcome to my lazy little place on the web. A place to slow down and take an occasional break from the everyday routine.

About Us...


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket My sweet hubbie took the quirky little picture you see above. Contrary to what it may seem to indicate, the kids and I are not usually found sitting around together looking like sardines packed in mustard sauce. We were actually loaded up in our little space capsule at the St. Louis Arch - ready to ride to the top! Now THAT was a cool field trip!! When we're not on field trips, you'll find us living our dream on a lovely little lake in the Lake Region of N. Central Florida - with lots of cows, horses, raccoons, opossums and gators for neighbors (...there are a few humans as neighbors too!). We're in our 14th year of homeschooling, and even though all of our homeschooling children are now high schoolers, we still enjoy the eclectic, hands-on, literature based learning style that we always have. The Lord has blessed us in so many ways, and to Him, alone, we give all the praise and glory! Soli Deo Gloria!!

...go ahead and pet her!

Believe in God and you’ll believe in miracles;

believe in His Son and you’ll experience one!

Logic ridicules love,

and love smiles knowingly

at the whole foolishness of logic.

“A friend is someone who knows the song

in your heart and can sing it back to you

when you have forgotten the words.”

We are...

...a Christian family desiring to raise our

children with the primary focus on

Training their Hearts!

III John 1:4

"I have no greater joy, than to hear my

children walk in truth."

Proverbs 22:6

"Train up the child in the way he should

go, and when he is old, he will not depart

from it"

Deuteronomy 5:29

"Oh that their hearts would be inclined

to fear me and keep all my commands always,

so that it might go well with them and their

children forever!"

Train up a child in the way he should go

— but be sure you go that way yourself.

The character of our children tomorrow

depends on what we put into their hearts today.
