Life is in the Air - Spring Time

-
Spring time is a time for joy for there's beauty all around and life is in the air.'
"Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Luke 12:27. 
Why did not our heavenly Father carpet the earth with brown or gray? He chose the color that was most restful, the most acceptable to the senses. How it cheers the heart and refreshes the weary spirit to look upon the earth, clad in its garments of living green!... Every spire of grass, every opening bud and blooming flower, is a token of God’s love, and should teach us a lesson of faith and trust in Him.*
I’ve started to write this blog 6 years ago with one purpose. To write a thankful note each day!
Looking back I'm thankful that I started for one thing is for sure:"We have nothing to fear for the future unless we forget how the Lord has led us in time past"(Ellen White)

This week we had one day of sun! Tuesday was an amazing, beautiful day and thats the day I took all those pictures! As I was walking with the children I took the time to stop and listen to the melody of the birds!! What a peaceful song!! I looked up and I saw some of the birds carrying pieces of sticks to build their nests!! A feeling of contentment filled my heart to compare these birds with us!! So neat and organized they prepare everything for their home! Always cheerful they come and go in search of the perfect place to build their nests!


Logan and his beautiful puppy girl Sky. Logan is using the magnifying glass to search for insects.



Larissa is such a good and cheerful big sister! Always helping little brother and taking him for a nice ride on her bike.
And here goes Larissa and Lance again, this time wet from the river

There is a lesson in the sunbeam, and in the various objects of nature that God has presented to our view. The green fields, the lofty trees, the buds and flowers, the passing cloud, the falling rain, the babbling brook, the sun, moon, and stars in the heavens—all invite our attention and meditation.* 
You who are sighing for the artificial splendor which wealth alone can purchase, for costly paintings, furniture, and dress, listen to the voice of the divine Teacher. He points you to the flower of the field, the simple design of which cannot be equaled by human skill.
He is a lover of the beautiful, and above all that is outwardly attractive He loves beauty of character; He would have us cultivate purity and simplicity, the quiet graces of the flowers.* 


We are still using sonlight education ministry for our family worship and are now learning about rocks and minerals in the family bible lessons and one rock we learned about during this week's study was the rock called Amber. We learned that it's taken from the sap of a tree!! We we pretty amazed with that information. What a Creative God we serve.
Here's the link for the curriculum we use family bible lessons

Little footprints from someone that was cold from playing in the river and was now barefoot. 
Oh that we may follow Jesus's footsteps in our daily lives :) 

May God be with you until next week

2023- Larissa’s Birthday

  “ For we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. “ (1 Corinthians 4:9) I read that verse this morning in a devotional and it made me think of yesterday when Larissa and I were in a boat ride. We are visiting Paris for her very special 15th Birthday and I praise God for the opportunity of being here visiting this country and seeing the beautiful and historical sites and in our boat ride yesterday in the Seine River we were in a big boat with other 600 people were we could either ride downstairs or upstairs in a big deck type outlooking all the historical sites but specially seeing people sitting by the river. Something very peculiar would happen when our boat was passing by these people. They were probably used to see this boat and “wave” to the unknown people inside the boat! During the one hour boat trip I could watch with intense interest those that didn’t wave at first starting to wave and there from the city some people would make heart shape with their ha

A Higher goal...

Today I reached my goal! The 30 days of writing a thankful note daily is finished.  I truly didn't know how to start a blog but how much easier it's to put an end in something. I had everything that I wanted to write in my mind all day long.  And now it's like a blank came....Though writing is a therapy to me, somedays it was becoming an obligation and not a thankful note, and other times I didn't know I could say so much and do so much at once. The recipes I shared, the routine I wrote it down, the pictures taken all was not planned by me but I know that there's someOne Higher than I and Knows the end from the beginning He touched me to write every single post because all things may not happen the ways we plan but it sure happens the way God has planned.  However sometimes I would stay up 'till late and miss the talk with my husband because I got to write down all the things I did throughout my day and this way I didn't miss only the night talking with my h

Spring time is here - April 2022

Spring time is here and again I’m writing about it for another year.  I just can’t keep quiet without saying anything when mornings appear and birds are singing happily everywhere, flowers are blooming and enlightening our eyes and the sun shines till late bringing marvelous sunsets, all showing that God is love!  “The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing  of birds  is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;” Song of Solomon 2:12  And here I leave to you my favorite quote in a devotional for today: “ God's Word and the Creation “Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” Luke 12:27 . In their original perfection all created things were an expression of the thought of God. To Adam and Eve in their Eden home nature was full of the knowledge of God, teeming with divine instruction. Wisdom spoke to the eye and was received into the heart; for t
