Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
I’m making my menu after being away from home a week and a half. A sweet friend offered to pick up my grocery order for me so I’d have food ready for meals when we got home. What a blessing! Kroger has a super deal right now – $15 off a $75 pick-up order. Love that, too!
Come along while I plan out some of the meals we’ll eat this week!
We know that children are a gift from God – especially when they first come into our family. Whether it’s a natural birth, fostering or adoption, they were leant to us from the Lord, and we recognize this.
Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. Psalm 127:3-5
They are squishy, funny, curious and precious. But they can also be messy, sassy, and willful.

Is there anything so delectable as a chicken thigh cooked so that the skin is crispy? Oh, yum! I recently came across a recipe on Cooktop Cove for a delicious chicken dish using thighs that are smothered in a marinade and baked, then topped with pineapple slices. I tried this last week for the first time (on company! Par for the course!). The thighs were tender and juicy and the skin was a little crispy and delightful!
I liked the recipe because the sauce made plenty to use as a marinade and there was also still plenty for brushing on while it was cooking, and some to serve with the chicken at the table.

A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. Proverbs 10:5
If we are diligent in getting our home cleaned, it will add to the peace and rest, and what a treasure that is!
When our girls were young, they knew that after their chores were done, they could go outside and play. That’s kind of what this post is going to allow us to do! Since we’ve finished the inside of the house, we’re going to open the door and step outside. It’s important because it’s what you see first when you step towards your door.
