Sing Praises All Servants!

I've been meaning to share this for awhile... Every year I pray and ask the Lord to show me where we need to strengthen. I've been trying for years....I mean YEARS to have a regular praise and worship time with Bible. Not just learning Bible history, but a topical study, personal prayer and music...

Well so far so good. We've been starting our days with a great hymn sing along. It comes with a book and Cd's with all the parts played separately and together. Can I just say, I don't know what ever made me think I could be a music teacher and vocal major! We (meaning myself and brood) sound like a bunch of a cackling hens being pulled through chicken wire by a raccoon! We start out fine and then go higher and higher. We crack each other up! I hope were aren't offensive....He knows our hearts, but sometimes we're BAD (and I don't mean good). The title is: Home Discipleship Hymnbook.

After that we pray with the Little's and read a scripture with a story. Then the chef works on a coloring page while the next oldest copies the scripture and draws a picture that goes with the story.

While they are doing that the 2 oldest chickadees and I are going through Raising Maidens of Virtue. We also each have a prayer journal that they are learning to use and make their own. Some days we just read scripture and pray if we are feeling led to.

So that's it. I'm so grateful to be doing it. The music is a extra nice blessing..........don't be looking for our CD anytime soon!

Praise Him. Praise Him all you little children..... song in my head.

Very sweet. I struggle with finding time and focus to read my bible. I wish my brain didn't work on Shuffle while I try to focus.

One day one of my daughters said, "Is the music in my head bothering you?" LOL!

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Every Last Drop!

So you love Essential Oils and you are using them on all the things; now, what do you do with all the cute little amber bottles? With the Young Living bottles you can an easily peel off the labels and refill with  your own personal blends, pop a spray top on for a spray blend, use as bud vase for a single flower or fill with Thieves Cleaner and gift to a friend who has never heard of the power of Thieves!  When my bottles are almost empty and I cannot get a drop out (even with the reducer cap off), I like to place a bunch up in the bottom of a big jar of Epsom salts. I let them sit for a week or so but there are times when I'll start using the salts right away. I just refill the salts on the top while the bottom of the container marinates. The fragrance is heavenly. You could get really fancy and save all your "fall" scents together, all your citrus scents etc. I am not that organized... I wish I was at times. *One thing I've learned is that it may not be a ...

Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is? Olive & Castor Oil! I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details. I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs. -15% Castor oil -85% olive oil -Shake and place in shower with wash cloth. - Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in) -Use the warmth of shower to open pores. -Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt. Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish ( I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only h...
