life.......
it's a most super fantastic and amazing place to be
even though temporary......life is so amazing
it has it's ups and downs, but last time i checked (which i must admit, is daily) it is a blessing
just to be alive with these six children around us
enjoying the nature around us
enjoying their souls united together
it's our family.......a most super fantastic amazing children
don't get me wrong......there are plenty of days that are not so fantastic...and you know what: it's because of me
they are the ones learning and growing every day
but so am i
as unworthy as i am, they are all under my care......every day........and that job is taken most seriously by me
sometimes too serious
all it takes is that hike along the bluffs with them all, where i always feel the most comfortable (walking in the woods), to understand life is super fantastic and amazing
they are counting down the days until Christmas
the focus within me is to make these last days of Advent super fantastic and amazing

ReplyDeleteOh good gravy, if I stood up, there would be PLENTY of room for Daniel to be perched.....on either hip!
DeleteWhat an adorable photo..
ReplyDeletethanks Janet!
DeleteIt is exactly what we talked about some days ago..ups and downs... and yes...it is us...not what sorround us, just ourselves that are such complicated creatures.
ReplyDeleteAnd I couldn't agree more, as you know, a walk in the woods is the only thing that re put things, thoughts ans priorities in the right order!
You two are so so beautiful!!!
Fra
we are complicated aren't we? yes...putting priorities first...our God, then husband, then children...it all falls into place beautifully in that order
DeleteLook at your little one. So cute. The world is a pretty amazing place whether it be on your little peace of heaven called Na Da Farm or camping with your family in Montana. Life can get or be so hectic these days, but it is always good to find peace wherever we can, whenever we can. Oh, being a mom of six is a very busy life. You have a beautiful family and from the looks of it, both you and Jason are doing a wonderful job. Hope your holiday season is one of great peace and joy.
ReplyDeleteThank you...finding peace and joy within that hectic pace is essential - you are so right!!
DeleteI JUST had to take the time to send along a few words from Kentucky!
ReplyDeleteI've admired YOU & your family, life, belief & values for quite a while now by visiting your blog, & today I wanted YOU to know that your SPIRIT beams PEACE from within, a place SO many of us long for, myself included. I hope to someday get fully engulfed, JUST as you are, with that warm, content PEACE that our Lord Jesus so much wants us to have.
THANK YOU dearly for sharing a glimpse into your world...
