Reflections

Psalm 19

The heavens declare the glory of God: and the skies proclaim the works of His hands.

Day after day they pour fourth speech: night after night they display knowledge.

There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.

Their voice goes out to all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

I am doing a new bible study:Satisfy My Thirsty Soul by Linda Dillow

The above passage talks about how even God's creation shouts forth His praise, that it transends every language. God is awesome and to be praised and adored!

Show and Tell Friday

Wow it is Friday already!!!!! Week just zipped right by. I hope you all had a blessed week. Here are some highlites from our week.

Science Experiment #1

The Effect of Changing Temperature

Showing how the cold air in the bottle expands.

Science Experiment #2

The Chemical Composition of Water  ( Electrolysis)

Air escaping from the battery

 

 

Notice the change in water level? One on the right is hydrogen and one on left is oxygen. ( H20)

Some experiments just do not work and you have to think out of the box. Next week I will post about that experiment.

Now on to cute adorable fur babies....

From top of photo and left to right: Behr, Squeeky, Fancy Rose ( these are siblings) .Abby ( looks like a tiger) and Fudgy ( middle of photo). These babies are Fancy Roses'. So they are all "Family" Fancy, Abby, and Fudgy are tiny cats. The boys make up for it weighing in at 12 plus pounds.

Whats not to love!? This is Behr. He is my "favorite". ( if we are allowed to have favorites). He is my buddy who chats with me all day long. Yes he and his brother have this Garfield kinda thing going...but they are so sweet.

Menu

I occasionally like to post what we had this past week for dinner. My childrens complaints about "chicken" made me look at the menu a bit closer.

Monday: Broiled Chicken/Rice/Vegetables

Tuesday: Chicken Enchilladas ( made with chicken from Monday)/ Cornbread, Spanish Rice and Vegetables

Wednesday:Oven Fried Chicken and Potatoe Salad

Thrusday : Pork Chops on the grill/ Bow Tie Noodles/Vegetables

Friday:Stir Fry Pork/ Vegetables

Saturday:General Tsos Chicken/Leftover Stir Fry and Rice/ Vegetables

Sunday: Pizza

Did you see how many times we had chicken?! It happens like that sometimes. Just depends on what meat is the best buy.

Anti Procrastination Challenge

Em and I finished her first clothing sewing project. ( It only took four months....sigh) It was my fault that she did not get to the project as I kept putting it off. She did an awesome job and has a wonderful pair of pj bottoms. They are made out of her favorite monkey fabric.

Listening to the Lord

I have been trying hard all of September ( since school started) to order my days and find more time to spend with each child individually and most importantly more time with the Lord. There are several areas of my life the Lord has brought to my attention that I could change to accomplish this.

One is my time on the computer. I love blogging and spending time with my friends! To honor the Lord and gain more time in my day I will not be blogging on Sundays, Mondays or Saturdays. I am also curbing blog time to late afternoon or evening which means I may be responding to memes the following day.

So please know I love each of my dear friends and look forward to spending time with each of you each week. You are a blessing in my life!
