Been Missing in Action here in our blog for a couple of months and I am sorry dear ladies. I know you fully understand our season of life right now, and the busyness of the days on end. I also made a conscious decision to keep weekends almost chore-less, doing just the most minimal of chores so I can enjoy hanging out with the kids.
I know in time, ill be able to update our little website on an almost weekly schedule just like when I only had one youngster. And although that may seem relaxing compared to the frazzled busy days I have right now, I am not looking forward to the quiet because I know it will be kind of sad to not have anyone tugging at you to ask to nurse, or to demand for food or help with something.
Enjoying weekends at home
One of the things that keep us busy during the weekends is coloring. We each have coloring books to work on, but as you know, my not-so-little-Shobe likes to get her hands on mine. Hence the picture I uploaded as image for this blog post. Isn’t it wonderful?
My second daughter beams with pride as she showed this drawing to me. She has recently memorized Psalm 23 and was so happy to have found a passage from it in my coloring book. She asked me if she could color it for me and there you have it .
Clinging on to God’s Word
I was so proud to see Shobe reading and genuinely enjoying bible passages. I told her that when I was a teenager, I used to recite this particular Psalm whenever I felt scared. In time, I will tell her the story of how I recited Psalm 23 over and over again to her grandpa as he waited for the time he could be with our Prince of Peace.
The comfort of reading and reciting Psalm 23
I am sure you already are familiar with this Psalm, but still I would like to share it with you:
PSALM 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters; He restores my soul. He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Eventhough I walk through the valley and the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Thank you everyone an till next post!
