Making a Life

 

I get to ignore the world

I get to be here at home

and honor my husband

Keep my home and teach my children who are almost grown


I get to make bread

I get to think, to dream, to write

I get to be here at home

I get to ignore the world


What a blessing.


My hair is white, just a bit so far

Wisdom is pushing out the lying brown, slowly, quickly, soon

I will be older and wiser.


I am thankful. I am grateful.






from Psalm 68:6-

God sets the lonely in families...

    Hi Sandi, I am so grateful to God for the life He has given me, with a lovely husband and the places we have lived in. The greatest gift will be eternal life in a place that nowhere on earth can match
    God bless.

    How did I not know you have a blog?? I'm now your newest follower!
    The turkey 'technique' is to rinse and pat it dry. Take out the innards and salt the cavity. Turn it BREAST SIDE down in a roasting pan and rub butter all over it! Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour then turn the oven to 250 degrees and leave overnight. The meat literally falls off the bones - it is so juicy and tender!

    Wir haben einen Gott, der da hilft, und den HERRN, einen Herrn, der vom Tode errettet. Psalm 68.
    Strong words full of hope from the Lover of His souls.
    With Brenda I want to say: I am so grateful to God for the life He has given me, with a lovely husband and the places we have lived in. The greatest gift will be eternal life in a place that nowhere on earth can match
    Many greetings and blessings to you from Dori from the Bavarian Forest
