A Great Quote
Trials are medicines which our gracious and wise Physician prescribes because we need them; and he proportions the frequency and weight of them to what the case requires. Let us trust his skill and thank him for his prescription.

Friendship
To My Church Sisters & To My Blog Sisters
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity Prov 17:17
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Prov 18:24
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Prov 27:6
Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. Prov 27:9
Praise God for my friends. I am so grateful for godly friendships! You all are such a encouragement to me. I pray God will bless you richly for the friends you have been to me!

The Prayer of a Public Schooler
(I am so greatful to homeschool, this is so so true!) So listen up homeschool moms, may we stop and be thankful today that we are able to homeschool our children!
This isn't technically a homeschool poem BUT it does give some good reasons TO homeschool!
The Prayer of a Public Schooler
Written By A 15 yr. Old School Kid In Arizona
Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks..
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot;
My soul please take!
Amen

Our Weekend To Seattle, The Space Needle
We had a great time in Seattle. It only took us 2 1/2 hours to get there. Blake could hardly wait to get there. I knew for sure he would be asking 'Are we there yet mom', before we would be 10 minutes into our trip, lol, so I told him I would give him $1 if he didn't ask 'The Question'. Ya right, come on , can you expect a 5 year old to hold back from asking that dreaded question a 100 times before we get there? I was praying so, lol. We were about half way, and we stopped to grab a bite to eat............"Mom, I really don't need that dollar, I already have 20 saved so, another dollar.....ahhh I don't need it mom" . We all laughed, I looked at Blake...."Mom are we ALMOST there? Rofl........he is so funny!
We got to our hotel.....I was not impressed. Our room stunk so bad of like some sort of cleaner. The first thing I did was open the windows. After unpacking everything, we went next door to grandmas room. Blake brough a few toys with him, mostly Lego's. He was standing by the bed and dropped a leggo, so he bent down to look under the bed. "MOM, MOM, there is a ANT HILL!!!". Freaked Out, I didn't want to look under there, I HATE ants, ugh yuck! Sure enough a piece of food had been left and there were ants all over it! I went directly to the front desk and asked for another room. They moved about 4 doors down from us, no ants there lol.
After getting settled in we headed for the Space Needle. Blake with his 5 year old questions, said "Mommy, is it called a needle because it has a needle at the top?" lol. Then he says, " I wonder if there will be a bunch of space men there?" He had grandpa and I in stitches laughing! I was worried that he would get scared going to the top, because you can see out, it is glass windows.
He did great and he was up to the window taking it all in! Ummm....I was the one with my eyes closed, lol. I did NOT like how it shook so much going up! We were able to go outside and walk around, it was very windy but blue skies, so we had GREAT views of Seattle.....breath taking views!
I will share pictures later...I need to get ready for church! Have a BLESSED Sunday :)

Friday's Weekly Wrap Up Meme
Ok, so I am going to try and blog, my world has been busy, to busy to blog lately! But since my hubby and kiddos are outdoors well....why not?
Monday we stayed home and got some much needed house cleaning done. It was a pretty event less day.
Tuesday evening was Lord's Supper...we stayed home, did school, and read our bibles together. I did not allow any games or TV for the day beings it was The Lords Supper.
Wednesday was busy, we did school, I caught up on correcting, and then we headed for swimming at the YMCA. After swimming we went to Mc D's for dinner and then headed for church. It was a GREAT message, as always.
Thursday Austen and I went to work in Blake's class for the morning. They were doing testing all day, so we helped out there.
Today was our homeschool co op day. We start off having coffee at the local coffee shop and then we go the church and the kids do their school work. Blake wanted to have Trav over to stay the night tonight. They just have a blast together. We love him like he is our own! When Wayne got home he wanted to go out to eat so we all went to Izzys Pizza. Now I am full, tied and ready for bed!!!
Beyond Jelly Beans~
Beyond Jelly Beans~ meaning Behind Easter Symbols
Christians celebrate Easter to remember the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The story of Easter can be found in . While chocolates, jelly beans and fluffy stuffed animals have become icons of this spring celebration, the holiday's symbols are rich in tradition and meaning.
The lamb reminds us of the Jewish celebration of Passover, which occurs each spring. In biblical times, the Jews sacrificed lambs to atone for their sins.
The lamb reminds us of the Jewish celebration of Passover, which occurs each spring. In biblical times, the Jews sacrificed lambs to atone for their sins.
In John 1:29, Jesus is called the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world because his death on the cross parallels the sacrificial lamb used in the Passover ceremony.
An egg represents new life because many birds and other animals hatch from eggs in the spring. People can find new life through a relationship with God made possible by Jesus' death on the cross (1 John 5:12).
The cross symbolizes Jesus' death by crucifixion as a sacrifice for our wrongs and to give us eternal life (John 11:25).
However, the rabbit is a secular (not religious) symbol of the season. During the spring equinox, the Saxons in Northern Europe celebrated a festival called "Eastre" or "Eostre" dedicated to the goddess of spring. Her symbol was the rabbit, which is also a fertility symbol.

He Careth For You.....
"He Careth For You"
Cast all your care upon Jesus,
Who ever careth for you,
He will sustain and uphold you,
He will be faithful and true.
Jesus our blessed Redeemer,
Jesus, our Shepherd and Guide,
Ever will bear all your burdens,
Ever will stay by your side.
Jesus knows all of your problems,
Knows all our trial and care,
He's ever ready to help us,
Ready to answer our prayer.
Oh! what a comfort in trial,
Just to lean hard on this Friend,
Trust Him for grace and deliverance,
Learning on Him to depend.
Jesus wants you to be happy,
Wants you to have peace and rest;
Cast all your care then upon Him,
Lean on His strong, loving breast.
Careth? Oh yes! Jesus careth,
His own are dear to His heart;
All His beloved whom He died for,
They are to Him set apart.
Oh! how He cares for His people,
Guards them and keeps them alway,
Wants them to share in His glory,
All through eternity's day.
Make your requests then to Jesus,
Trusting His promise so true;
Roll on the Lord all your burden,
For He is caring for you.

Memories~
Memories
Memories are a treasure
The wealth we have inside
Special times and sad times
They're all part of life
We often like to retreat
To the memories of yesterday
The tender moments we had
That can never be replaced
When we see that the Lord
Was there throughout our lives
And see the turns we made
With Him as our guide
We see the plan
He had To bring us where we are
We see the road we've travelled
Has brought us on this far
So memories of the past
Help us trust to thee
Our future years with gladness
That we cannot yet see
For if in the Father’s care
We place each day we live
We will know His inner peace
And His grace He freely gives
