Good Friday/Easter

Since we've been doing Sunday dinners for awhile now, and we knew this past Sunday (Easter) we wouldn't be having one. We opened up our home on Good Friday.

Ashley made several pizza crusts in the am, and we lined the counter with tins filled with white, wheat/white, and some with herbs in the dough.

We sliced several toppings, bacon, sausage, red and green peppers, pepperoni, olives, broccoli, and ricotta for a white pizza.

And then we opened the house to come on by for pizza, and egg dying.

My cousins came over too and we filled 300 eggs with candy, rubber jewelry, tattoos, cookies, peeps and so on!!







We had a wonderful time of food, fellowship and fun! Our re-focus on our families has been a wonderful experience for us.

We are reconnecting, and building relationships.

I am so reminded of how Jesus was with his earthly family, then his spiritual family, and then he himself reconnected with his earthly family.

Remember that even if you have unsaved family members, Jesus wants you to be a witness to them. You can encourage them, and they can see you as a living example of his love for us and them.

The above song has truly confirmed the changes that we have been making over the past few months, that we are doing the right thing, and loving as God loves us. 

Ok so on to Easter...  On Easter morning, I made resurrection rolls! What a fantastic way to remind the children of Jesus' death and resurrection.

We then went to church and off to my aunts farm for a wonderful Easter dinner, Egg Hunt and just some great time with family.












Hope you all had a wonderful Resurrection Sunday..

Thanking God for all  his blessings he bestows on us.

Hubby was in an accident....

Proverbs 31 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. The blaring ring of the phone woke me on Tuesday morning... 7:15am... I knew as soon as I looked at the clock, something was wrong. No one calls here that early.. I quickly peel a child out of my arms and trying to not wake her, before the phone does. She had a restless night. "hello" in a whisper.. as I was still in my bedroom. Walking out of my room, I hear my darling hubbys nervous voice, "I was in an accident" Me, "Are you ok"... Him, "yes" Me" do you need me to come?" Him, "no, I'll call you" He explained what happened. His company truck was pretty messed up, and the air bags went off. He said he had some airbag burn, felt ok, just stressed. Next call I got was from him in the police car, the officer was kind enough to drop him off at work. The convers...

Cool Temps = Warm Meals

Image
  One of my favorite things to do on a cold crisp day is cooking and baking. Something about the smell of onions, carrots, and celery sauteing up brings a sense of home. And remind me powerfully of my grandmother. The memories of being in her home and feeling her love are all tied to food, where she spent the bulk of her time. Preparing nourishing meals for her family.  When we take the time to prepare meals, we show love to our family. Tonight, I made a Potatoe, Bacon, Cheddar, and Good Ol' Fashion Chicken Noodle.
