For All Women

This is a moving piece I watched today.

Unfortunately You Tube suggested the 8 year old who still breast feeds and since I was mesmerized by that possibility I had to watch it. Very weird. I don't suggest you follow the first video (which is very uplifting) with the weirdness of the second one!

Easter 2010

We went to Eggstravaganzoo (or something similarly spelled like that) this year for the first time. Had loads of fun with friends from church.

Camren has the best cheeeeese!

He really cheeeesed every time he got an egg.

Sweet Conner was patient while Camren hunted eggs first.

After church on Sunday...tired boys.

On the home front, the first showing last week was not interested in floor plan and no more showings yet. I'm hoping we'll get some activity this weekend as it's National Open House weekend and even though we're not having an open house all the people going by our house will want a showing anyway! Another successful Publix saving trip this week...not so much at Kroger but it's better and I have a well stocked pantry. The old me would not grocery shop for weeks now (except for milk, bread, fresh veggies/fruit) and just eat up what we have but I'll keep hunting deals each week and keep stocking up.

Proverbs 31:10-31 (GWT)

10 “Who can find a wife with a strong character? She is worth far more than jewels.11 Her husband trusts her with all his heart, and he does not lack anything good. 12 She helps him and never harms him all the days of her life. 13 “She seeks out wool and linen with care and works with willing hands. 14 She is like merchant ships. She brings her food from far away. 15 She wakes up while it is still dark and gives food to her family and portions of food to her female slaves. 16 “She picks out a field and buys it. She plants a vineyard from the profits she has earned. 17 She puts on strength like a belt and goes to work with energy. 18 She sees that she is making a good profit. Her lamp burns late at night. 19 “She puts her hands on the distaff, and her fingers hold a spindle. 20 She opens her hands to oppressed people and stretches them out to needy people. 21 She does not fear for her family when it snows because her whole family has a double layer of clothing. 22 She makes quilts for herself. Her clothes are made of linen and purple cloth. 23 “Her husband is known at the city gates when he sits with the leaders of the land. 24 “She makes linen garments and sells them and delivers belts to the merchants. 25 She dresses with strength and nobility, and she smiles at the future. 26 “She speaks with wisdom, and on her tongue there is tender instruction. 27 She keeps a close eye on the conduct of her family, and she does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children and her husband stand up and bless her. In addition, he sings her praises, by saying, 29 ‘Many women have done noble work, but you have surpassed them all!’ 30 “Charm is deceptive, and beauty evaporates, but a woman who has the fear of the Lord should be praised. 31 Reward her for what she has done, and let her achievements praise her at the city gates.”
