Happenings in my life...

  Hello friends! Here is a little about what has been happening in my life recently....

Our supper table for July 4. Table decorated by my four lovely sisters. Isn't it beautiful?

                    This is one of my favorite classical pieces. A slightly modern version of it.
                            "The Four Seasons: Summer" by Guido's Orchestra.


                               
                    I tried making Creme Brulee this week for the first time. The top is vanilla sugar which I                               caramelized in the oven on broil. I think it turned out pretty well. They were delicious!

A stray cat we have befriended. She had 3 kittens and we enjoy watching their antics. :-)

A birdhouse in our back yard. Notice the interesting shadows on the wall from our redbud tree.                           
                I played clarinet in a patriotic concert out in the park with my Dad. It was very fun.
                                         A drawing I did for my brother's 18th birthday.
                               These are rose petals I made into rose-water. It is so satisfying to make my own beauty    "concoctions." All I do is put a few handfuls of rose petals into boiling water. Steep for 10-15 minutes. (almost like making tea!) Then strain off the rose-water from the petals. Add a few drops of vegetable glycerine. I also add
2 parts witch hazel to 1 part rose-water. Now you have your own natural rose facial toner!




                                        My three finished pots. It was so exciting to see how they turned out. :-)



          This is one of my pots that is still unglazed. It has been fired once. I am planning on glazing it Jade Green.

Thanks for reading my blog!

Walking with Christ

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” John 6: 66-67 What does it mean to walk with Christ? I asked this question today. To walk means to move, to go from one physical place to another. Unless you are walking on a treadmill and then you literally go nowhere! To walk with someone else you have to keep up with their pace, whether they walk slower or faster than you. To walk with Christ we need to watch Him and match our stride with His. Not lagging behind, yet also not walking too far ahead of Him either. I know I tend to run ahead to the future in my thoughts and not always listen to what the Lord tells me in the His Word, the Bible. Who are some people who walked with God? Abraham is one who comes to mind. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” Genesis 17:1 Abraham walked so closely with God ...

Alone

“And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.”” John 8:29 (NKJV) “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?” Psalm 22:1 Jesus Christ was never left alone by His Father, except when He was on the cross. Why did His Father forsake Him when He most needed Him? Because of my sin. God cannot look on sin. Christ took on all my sins in His body and suffered agony, for me! I should have suffered for an eternity in hell, but because The Lamb of God was sacrificed for me, I am going to Heaven! I accepted His gift of salvation, confessed my sins and repented of them, when I was four years old. Hallelujah, what a Savior.
