From our Home to Yours

We just wanted to share some more pictures of our homeschool days.

 

What a blessing it is to learn and grow together.

We’ve had many great hands-on discoveries – and some were even quite tasty!

It may be listening to Vivaldi’s Winter movement in Four Seasons and painting a winter scene (even if I had to explain what Northern Hemisphere winter means – hah!), writing and drawing without hands, learning the most tasty chemistry around, enjoying classical music on headphones during some reading time, learning about blood analysis at a local clinic, planting herbs, reading endless books (especially to cats), exfoliating with mud creations, playing ancient civilization games, celebrating Biblical feasts (not pictured but in previous posts), science experiments with Daddy, computer reading lessons, learning the ukelele, Portuguese classes with a youth from the Maxixe church, but we just wanted to share the joy of discovery with you all.

 

What a privilege it is to discover!

Thank you for journeying with us.

To Market, To Market

To Market, To Market to buy a fat pig

Home again, home again jiggety jig.

We aren’t in the habit of buying fat pigs like the Mother Goose rhyme may say, but we sure are thankful for our fresh produce market within a 5 minute walk.

All for the equivalent of $9.33USD? Yes, please!

Look at our happy little produce home, saving counter space. =)

 

My Beloved

Softly and gently, he leads with an extended hand.

Patient and giving, he opens up his life to another.

Loyal and faithful, he drives hours round trip to just sit with another in a hard time and pray.

He knows when to step forward to direct a conversation, and when to wait in the sanctifying shadows.

Thinking and planning, he invests in others.

Passionate and caring, he wholeheartedly shares his love for the Lord.

Serving and dedicated, he quietly cleans without fanfare.

He knows when best to be silly and play, and when to create still and snuggle.

Pliable and teachable, he listens to wisdom.

Hardworking and trustworthy, he searches the Scriptures well into the night.

Carefree and unashamed, he creates unforgettable memories.

He knows when to foster adventure and when to hide in pajamas at home.

Matthew is this and so much more. Words really fail to describe my beloved’s heart for the Lord, his family and those God brings into his path. Words fail to describe how deeply he is loved and how much of a blessing he is to those around him. It is a true honor to stand beside this man as the Lord molds and shapes his life to bring Him glory.

Happiest of happy birthdays, Love. Even if the pool water was beyond freezing (BEYOND FREEZING), thank you for yet another example of how, even on your birthday, you pour yourself out investing in others. How you teach me in your love for the Lord splashing over into others.

❤️I love ya, Babe. Happy Birthday. ❤️
