New Place Blessings

Morning view out Ben's east window.
My sun glowy green bedroom. Still haven't hung pictures on the wall, but it feels like home anyway.

New living room curtains~sewn by that sweet ol' Katie. Colorful and luscious and sort of Moroccan Bazaar Comes to Small Town Minnesota. Makes me smile.


A dearly beloved book, revisited as the current read aloud. This story, and the telling of it is so very rich. I cry a lot as I read. Mostly for love of Corrie's father, the beauty of their home life, and the goodness of God amidst injustice and suffering. I'm thankful to be settled into our new home, and back to the morning routine, reading with Livi and Ben.

Hello, I found your blog via dearest Jewels. How lovely that you now live so close to your family at the Rose garden. I visit often and enjoy the time you both share here in this neighborhood of bloggers. The pictures are beautiful, what a nice view from your sons window.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
God Bless you,
By His Grace, Cynthia

Thank you friends! It's wonderful to meet you here at home and heaven again. I do *plan* to *TRY* to blog consistently. This is a delightful way to communicate with far away kindreds. Now to learn to juggle *LIFE* in the moment with the ~recording~ of life moment by moment. Not a strong point for me, but you know that! Blessings all!

Dear Melissa, thank you so much for your kind words. If God's love doesn't show (and that's my hope), then it's all a waste. Praise Him! Bless you, friend <3
