Please pray for Mary Leggewie and her family. Mary has recently and suddenly become very sick. I would just like to ask anyone who stops by or whose eyes happen to read to please join with me in prayer. She is a homeschooling mother, she is a great wife and wonderful woman of God. Mary is the owner of http://www.homeschoolchristian.com (HSC), where I have been a member for several years. This was posted on the fellowship board there:
Ladies,
I am now at liberty to share with you Mary's current situation. She has made the decision to sign her own "Do Not Resuscitate" order, and she will be going to be with the Lord in a short time. That exact timeframe is the Lord's business, but it is in the near future.
In the past 18 days Mary has been kept alive by machines and powerful drugs. She has been alert and, once told about the full scope of her situation, was able to make her own decision. This is an important issue in maintaining dignity. Mary's faith is deep, and I'm sure the Lord has plans for her when she reaches Him.
Specific prayer requests are for Mary's peace, for Robin to step up to the responsibilities before him, and for her entire family to find comfort and understanding.
In the days to come, we will celebrate Mary's life. If you have a picture that was taken of her with you, please forward it to me.
May the Lord bring each of you peace and comfort today and always.
Martha

Living In The Land Of Love
I do believe more than my eyes do see.
For I know His Love.
He gives mercy and grace to all the human race.
Believe and receive. It’s simple to be free.
As you live in the place of His love.
Deep inside His love resides in this place where all is one.
United together placed by His will.
We all are His ambassadors.
As I awake. My breath He does take.
My heart ponders full of unspeakable joy as I live in this place so full of love.
All is well as I dwell living in the land of His love.
Fear does not control for this I do know.
His Love sweetly ascends like a dove from above.
Nothing heals as His love heals in this place I reside.
I‘m living in the land of pure love.
I know I will be missed as He greets me with a kiss.
That is why I ask that He allows my love ones to cut the cords of the earthly ties until we all reside in this place together eternally.
As their heart is broken Lord may they be shown the Love you have for me?
For life is ever flowing and death here is never known.
In this perfect place which is now my home.
Blessings to you! Just rediscovered your blog and saw your sad but with God glad news. Sending a [[[[[[[[[[ HUG ]]]]]]]]]]. Mary in the place of peace and pure love forevermore is a wonderful thought. May God's riches and best by yours in 2008. *U* rilda
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...
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 going into our 13th year of homeschooling, and even though all of our homeschooling children are now high schoolers, we still enjoy the eclectic, hands-on, literature based, Charlotte Mason method 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!!

There are those who say it can't be done -
That your dreams are too big and your hopes too high.
They must not know the size of the God you serve.
Keep believing!

“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 theirchildren 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.
