Chocolate Mice

I found another recipe site. I immediately thought of Nikki and Lori, friends of mine with small children, when I saw these mice. They are so cute. The website is www.justapinch.com. I thought of my friends because of their small children...but when my (almost) 16 year old daughter saw the mice...."AWWWWWW!" I have a feeling even my 18 year old will want to try making them because of her love of cherries. Thanks for stopping by to visit!

Be still...

Silly picture, I know. Something came up the other day...I had a child that was worried....frantic....We talked for a while, and it seemed my only advice at this point was to stay focused on the Lord and PRAY! It brought me to one of my favorite verses that God tells us to be still and KNOW that he is God. It make me think of one family "member" that is still. Our Titan is very content to be still. I need to be content in being still so that I can hear what God has to say to me. I have found that in stillness, I listen.
Am I always still? Sometimes I try to take care of things myself....doesn't always work that way. We are so busy with cleaning, taking care of our children, menu preparation...the list goes on. Then we let our heads hit the pillow without having any "still time." 15 minutes? I have found myself getting up a little early (before the kids), to have some quiet time. It helps me focus on my day and those around me.

Be still and know that he is God.
It is a wonderful thing.


Thanks for stopping in!

Fall is here!

The colors here are absolutely beautiful right now. Cooler weather-I call it sweatshirt weather-is hopefully here to stay. We have our pumpkins on the porch, and have done some decorating on the inside of our house also. That is always a special time for us.
The other day I looked around at all the beauty around me
and the Lord brought to my memory Psalm 96:4
"For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised."
