"The resurrection of Christ is one of the foundation-stones of Christianity. It was the seal of the great work that He came on earth to do. It was the crowning proof that the ransom He paid for sinners was accepted, the atonement for sin accomplished, the head of him who had the power of death bruised, and the victory won." ~ J.C. Ryle    One of my daughters was crying this morning.  She said that her sister always thinks she's the worst.  I disagreed.  I told her I'm the worst.  We talked a bit and she felt better.  I also talked to older sister about needing to be four years older and wiser and kinder.    I really thought about it though.  We're all the worst.  We're all filled with sin.  We might look at another whose sins are showing on the outside and think we're better.  After all, our sins are hidden on the inside.  We look all nice and cleaned up and Christian.  Maybe a definition for the term...

Laundry Day...artist unknown Not too many folks take time to enjoy life anymore it seems. There is pleasure in the process, not just the product. Laura ~~~~~ May I suggest? Just Something to Think About... Christmas Gifts ~~~~~ Monday Mom's the Word  -  Good Morning Monday

Spring has sprung.  It's mowing time again.  We mow about five acres.  Everyone gets in on the act.  Amy's quite determined to do her part! Happy Spring!

I actually got to sleep in a little late this morning.  Lowell got up early and made the cinnamon rolls.  We sell these to friends and acquaintances every Friday.  We also take special orders for other days. Next came my turn in the kitchen.  I made Whole Wheat Bread with wheat I ground just seconds before I put it into the dough.  Talk about fresh taste!    Wow!  And I wish you could smell my kitchen! I also made some yummy wheat rolls, too.  These were a special order.  We bake our products on designated days, but we are happy to take special orders.   Laura Up to here in dough! Carthage, MO

It's been a productive morning.   I have been going through boxes to get ready for a yard sale this morning. I made homemade macaroni and cheese for lunch. Hubby is making a pie crust for me; then, I'll be filling it. Chocolate meringue pie is on the menu for tonight. I sold one pie and one is for us. Yum!  Laura

It has to be the best fragrance in the world!  Homemade bread right out of the oven.  I made honey oat bread today.  It looks just like the bread at the top of my blog.  Tonight we're going to share it with good friends.  Good friends sharing good food and good conversation.  What a good evening it will be! Thanks to the ever good God for friends! Laura Happy at Home
