Holy Week (and it's not over yet)

What a wonderful week we have had...and it's not over yet. This is the first year that we have really taken the time to be in the Word as a family and really reflect on what this week is all about. Thanks to the wealth of ideas posted by Monica and ideas in Homespun Memories for the Heart it has been an exciting week in which we have learned so much! So here is our week so far...


"Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!"
John 12:13


Webb cut palm branches and we read from our Read and Learn Bible. Then we laid our jackets and blankets down on the floor and waved our palm branches shouting "HOSANNA!" The girls had a lot of fun with it. We talked about how excited we would be if Jesus had walked in and walked across the path that we made for him.



"Then He poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples feet
and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded."
John 13:5
"If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet,
you also ought to wash one another's feet.
For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you"
John 13:14-15



Day 2: We washed each others feet! I actually enjoyed it and know that Cat and Sam had fun (Becca wasn't feeling well, but did want her feet washed). Webb even let me use my "smelly" sugar scrub on his feet! They had way too much fun with my feet...very ticklish feet and they all know it.

I will try to post the rest tomorrow, but still need to finish my Easter dress, so we will see. But, will get it up. How are you spending your week?

In-ten-tion-al-ly

adverb : intentionally, deliberately, on purpose, purposefully, knowingly, wittingly, consciously, in full awareness Intentionally That is my word for 2015. A word that requires action. To live with intention; on purpose! To purposefully go about my days. No longer moving from one task to another just because it needs to be done. But to work towards an overall goal while doing those same tasks.   The goal with intention and purposeful living? To be purposeful in the role God has called me to. To be deliberate in sharing my faith. To be diligent in pouring over the scriptures. To be intentional when it comes to loving (RESPECTING) my husband.  To be purposeful in teaching my children and training them in righteousness. To make decisions according to knowledge, not flippantly or because that is what I am 'expected' to do. (Especially not because that is what I am expected to do.) To consciously create an atmosphere in our home that nurtures love, joy and contentment.  ...

Dream and have Courage

I walked down to the marsh today to see what my crazy dog was barking at. Instead of that, I found where my kiddos have made "their spot". They have carried all the cut offs and extra pieces from other projects and started a tree house pile.  I imagine they have been sitting in these little blue chairs. Sitting, looking up at this big, beautiful oak and dreaming about the great tree house that they are talking their daddy into building. Planing it all out in their minds. Little minds that think big grand plans. Fun plans. The kind of plans that I think too often adults forget to have. Or at least I know I don't take the time for. And I know I don't take the time needed to make these plans come to be.  There is always the immediate. The things that have to happen. All of the daily tasks that need to be checked off the list.  This was a reminder for me today. While there are a lot of things that need to be done, I need to chip away at the big, grand plans t...

31 Days to Clean... maybe...

31 days to clean! This is what I need. Day 1 was today. The task for the day, the kitchen. Dishes, Ugh! (My second least liked chore, actually third least behind trash and toilet) We recently switched up jobs and the new person responsible for dishes is still learning. This has created quite a back up this past weekend and lots of work for Momma.  So, it seems like a good day for  the kitchen. Well that is until this happened and we needed to make sure he would be okay.   (Dropped concrete block on it) And then errands that needed to be run for Daddy for business. And of course the usual: nursing baby, school with the girls, diapers, meals, baths and all that fun stuff.  And don't let me forget that I didn't realize that we were out of both dishwasher detergent and dish soap until after we were home from being out and about. We have just finished supper. I am waiting for hubby to get home from class and an impromptu trip to the store f...
