<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For today....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
looking out my window, it's sunny and warmer than the typical February morning: 54 degrees!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thinking about my day, and thankful for a quiet day at home with no errands to run.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thankful for the children's recovery from the virus they have been battling. Not the flu, but it's been a stubborn sickness to get rid of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite things is spending time in the Word early in the morning before the children wake up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still working a cross-stitch project: a butterfly book mark to give to my mom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am wearing jeans, a blue floral print thermal long-sleeve shirt, and insulated socks. In spite of the warmer temps, I am very cold-natured. Hence, the long sleeves and socks. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am reading a book written by David Livingstone, about his adventures in Africa. His quotes are excellent; I have been jotting them down in my commonplace notebook.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am hoping to find a local cake decorating class for Natalie. She baked a beautiful heart cake for Valentine's Day, which also happens to be her oldest sister's birthday. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my kitchen, I am loving my new Vitamix blender! It is so much more powerful than my Ninja blender was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In our school room, Ian is in his second semester of his first year of college. He made the Dean's List last semester, and was invited to join the Alpha Beta Omega chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society. The induction ceremony was on Sunday evening. (See photo below.) Proud Mama right here! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The four youngers have just finished their second term of AO, and are doing their exams today and tomorrow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my garden, I am already thinking about planting peas. I can't wait to start digging in the dirt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my all-time favorite quotes: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"God whispers to us in our pleasure,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
speaks to us in our conscience,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but shouts in our pain;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~ C.S. Lewis</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hi, friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This post about our most recent nature exchange is a bit overdue. As in, <b><i>6 months</i></b> overdue! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a little background, our first 3 nature exchanges were with <a href="https://silviacachia.wordpress.com/">Silvia.</a> You can read about them <a href="http://oliveplantsallaroundmytable.blogspot.com/2013/07/nature-exchange.html">here,</a> <a href="http://oliveplantsallaroundmytable.blogspot.com/2014/10/nature-exchange-2.html">here,</a> and <a href="http://oliveplantsallaroundmytable.blogspot.com/2015/09/nature-exchange-3.ht">here.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our fourth nature exchange was with <a href="http://oliveplantsallaroundmytable.blogspot.com/2016/02/nature-exchange-4-and-visit-from-jonas.html">Celeste.</a> Then, last fall, we arranged a fifth nature exchange with <a href="http://flareoflight.blogspot.com/">Amber.</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent many fun hours searching for treasures to send to Amber and her family. Since Amber and her family live about 2,000 miles away, we searched high and low for unusual items that they might not have in their area. My children enjoy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the searching part as much as they enjoy the receiving part. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We found butterflies, moths, insects, feathers, snail shells, flower seeds, a lump of pine tree sap, a mantis egg sac, a snake skin, milkweed pods, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The children sketched some of the treasures so they could look back at their Nature journals and remember what we sent. Here's a peek.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Naomi sketched a Monarch butterfly, a pigeon feather, and a snail shell. I love her Monarch butterfly. :)</div>

And to top it off, Amber enclosed a very informative letter with a detailed explanation of each item. It was like a tree-based Science lesson in a box! :) We compared the tree specimens with similar trees in our area. Lots of hands-on learning and fun. Thanks so much, Amber! </div>

Happy belated New Year, friends!<br />
<br />
The New Year has already been crazy busy for me, but I wanted to share these thoughts on the Proverbs 31 woman that I recently discovered.<br />
<br />
We're all familiar with this passage aren't we? But I decided to (for lack of time to type it all) copy paste it below (the AMP version) for easy reference:<br />

Now, I have ready this passage so many times, but when I read it again last week, and read a commentary from the Amplified Version of the Bible, it was such an eye-opener - and an encouragement! I pray that it encourages you, as well. </div>

The commentary says,</div>
<div class="line" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px;">
<b style="font-style: italic;">"It is most unfortunate that this description of God's ideal woman is usually confined in readers' minds merely to its literal sense - her ability as a homemaker, as in the picture of Martha of Bethany in Luke 10:38-42. But it is obvious that far more than that is meant. <u>When the summary of what makes her value 'far above rubies' is given (Proverbs 30:31), it is her spiritual life only that is mentioned.</u> One can almost hear Jesus saying, 'Mary has chosen the good portion...which shall not be taken away from her. (Luke 10:42)' ." </b>(Emphasis mine.)</div>

Imagine that! My spiritual life is what is precious to the Lord; that is what makes me of valuable to Him and my husband. Not if all of my dishes and washed. Not if my floors are spotless. Not if I have conquered that mountain of laundry in the laundry room. While those things are important to a certain degree, it's <b>my heart</b> that He wants! A heart that is 100% devoted to God is what makes the virtuous woman more valuable that precious gems!</div>

<div class="line" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px;">
<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>And referring to verse 29, the commentary says, <b style="font-style: italic;">"Many daughters have done...nobly and well...but you excel them all", the AMP commentary says, "What a glowing description here recorded of this woman in private life, this 'capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman' of Proverbs 31! It means she had done more than Miriam, the woman who led a nation's women in praise to God. (Exodus 15:20,21); Deborah, the patriotic military advisor (Judges 4:4-10); Ruth, the woman of constancy (Ruth 1:6); Hannah, the ideal mother (1 Samuel 1:20; 2:19); the Shunammite, the hospitable woman (2 Kings 4:8-10); Huldah, the woman who revealed God's secret message to national leaders (2 Kings 22:14); and even more than Queen Esther, the woman who risked sacrificing her life for her people (Esther 4:16).<u> In what way did she 'excel them all'?</u></b></div>
<div class="line" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 24px;">
<b style="font-style: italic;"><u>In her spiritual and practical devotion to God. which permeated every area and relationship in her life.</u> All seven of the Christian virtues (2 Peter 1:5) are there, like colored threads in a tapestry. Her secret, which is open to everyone, is the Holy Spirit's climax to the story, and to this book. In Proverbs 31:30, it becomes clear that the 'reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord', which is 'the beginning (the chief and choice part) of Wisdom' (Proverbs 9:10), is put forth as the true foundation for a life which is valued by God and her husband as 'far above rubies or pearls (Proverbs 31:10)' ". </b>(Emphasis mine.)</div>

So this year, I am going to strive to remember what is precious to the Lord - and my husband. And may it be said of me that I have "chosen the good portion" and may my heart's desire be to be a woman who "reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord"!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>This book may find one who must thread the ravine at its darkest. There are wrongs done to innocence that scorch the mind. The indignation of the Lord waits upon the wrongdoer. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:31) If our Scripture showed no righteous Judge who hath eyes like unto a flame of fire, the revelation of Love incarnate would be a shimmering dream. But this does not help the tortured in the hour of torture: "All Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me. As with a sword in my bones mine enemies reproach me, while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?" (Psalm 42: 7 & 10)</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>And yet there is a lifting up: Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shall quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. (Psalm 71:20)</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i> </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i> O thou afflicted, tossed with the tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. Thou shalt be called, "My delight is in her": thou shalt be called "My Pleasure."</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i> </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Do not push the words away as too beautiful for you, you who have been trusted so. "Tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised" (Luke 7:22) -but though the Lord omnipotent walks so near thy prison, thou shalt be left in prison- "And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me." <b>That is the word for you. The Father trusts His broken child to trust</b>: <b>"If thou sink to dishonor, soar thou to love the honor of thy Beloved, who is sufficient to honor all that love Him. If thou be deceived and betrayed, rise thou in love even to the faithfulness of thy Beloved, by whom thou shalt be neither deceived or betrayed. If thou sink through fear, soar thou through love till thou be safe with thy Beloved." </b></i></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>(emphasis mine - I love that part!)</i></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That weary way is a place of memories. One of the readings of Psalm 42 sees the soul sharpening the knives of pain by remembering jubilant yesterdays.<b> "These things will I remember, how I passed on in the procession, how I marched with them to the house of God with the voice of joy and praise-a festive crowd."</b> (v. 4b) Yes, we were one of a festive crowd; was there any happy thing we did not do? And we think of what used to be, so different from all that is now: <b>"When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me."</b> (v. 4a) Was ever a sad heart that did not feel like that?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And yet we are ashamed of such feelings, and the stronger part of us tries to encourage the weaker. <b>"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me?" (Ps. 42:5a) "Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance."</b> (Ps. Ps. 43:b)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

...Blessed be the tender mercy that has given us the truthful story of such hours, and with that story the power of release: <b>"O send out Thy light and Thy truth; let them lead me; let them bring me unto Thy holy hill, and to Thy tabernacles."</b> (Ps. 43:3) The mountain we are going to climb, the holy hill where His tabernacles are, is not in darkness. A broad beam of light falls upon that hill, a lighted path that leads to light like the pavement of heaven for clearness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is all true. We know that it is true. And yet there is something in the trend of our thoughts that is like the backlash of the waves, as wave after wave breaks on the shore. We have looked up. We have seen the lovely radiance of that upper air. but our feet must walk the ways of earth down that dreary hill, past those sombre trees, and into the valley before we can press up through the mist and stand under shining skies.</div>

There is nothing imaginary about the oppression of the enemy, but there is deliverance from that oppression: <b>"O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore, will I remember Thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar."</b> (Ps. 42:6)</div>

<b>Looking out my window,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can see our free-range chickens pecking and scratching in the yard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I am thinking</b> (and praying!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about the election.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
to know that no matter what the outcome of the election is,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God is still on the throne. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
that our new pullets start laying eggs - soon!</div>
