Happenings in my life...

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


                                                                   (photo by Julia)

Our supper table for July 4. Table decorated by my four lovely sisters. Isn't it beautiful?
 Go to their blogs to see more: Julia, Anna, and Sarah and Lydia. 

                    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 ...

Called, Chosen and Faithful

 “...and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” (Revelation 17:14b) The saints are called, chosen and faithful. It makes me think of Revelation chapter 19:11, where Christ is described as Faithful and True. Amazing to think that we will also share this attribute of being faithful to Him! We are called to follow Him and serve Him. Chosen, His Bride, who will be dressed in fine linen, robes of righteousness.  (Revelation 19:8)  “And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.”  Revelation 22:3-4  Such encouraging words to meditate on! One day the curse of sin will be broken, and we shall serve at the throne of God and the Lamb.  We will see His beautiful face, the One whom we hid our faces from (Isaiah 53:3) We will see Him and...
