Keeping Sabbath

I am sure I shall see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living.

Psalm 27:13


A very dear and old friend of the family

lost her 12 year old daughter yesterday.

She was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor about 2 years ago.

When I looked at verse of the day this is what came up.

It's too sad for words but God hears our groans and feels our tears.

    So great a loss. There are no words except to let you know that you'll remain on my heart throughout this day ... and beyond.

    I have been praying for the family! It seems so senseless for a child to die.

    Oh, I am so sorry for your friend. That is too sad for words. I hope that eventually she will be able to see God's goodness.

    It's so hard to cling to those promises of goodness when we are mourning a loss. You are wise to keep Truth nearby so that your eyes see it and can remind your heart.

    Our Heavenly Father, you know the child that you entered into your arms and heaven and her family. I pray you give all those that were near and dear to her the peace that only you can give to those who knew and loved her so much. Wrap your arms around this family and all friends and help them at their time of loss. In the name of your son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
    So sorry for your loss. Too sad for words to lose a child.

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

a basket from the farmer's market

  A basket from the farmer's market. When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table.  Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day. I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well.  Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated.  I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun! My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market. It's so important to support local farmers.

On the table

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
