That Husband of Mine...

...is at it again!!! He whisked me off yesterday for a romantic overnight stay at an American hotel in Warsaw for my birthday. We had been there about three years ago and had enjoyed it so much that he even requested the same room. It was a wonderful, welcome break from the everyday life of being mom, wife, teacher.

Here is my one and only picture to prove it. This is our complimentary room service breakfast that they brought us this morning...

The Works!!!

While I'm sharing pictures, I want to share some pictures from the team's Christmas program that we put on Saturday night. We invited all our English students, plus our friends totally about 70 people. Pretty amazing. The children preformed a very meaningful Christmas play "From the Scribe's view" interspersed with singing. The team helped with some songs and we had time for the audience to help sing Christmas carols (Polish and English) as well. Truely, it was a lovely evening from the candle-lined window sills to the haybale-poinsetta-lantern backdrop to the three sweet angelic angels come to minister to the shepherds to the Christmas tea and the 140 cinnamon twists that disappeared after the program. I thought the message of the evening really was powerful if the people could understand all the words that were said and sung.

I Hate Mending

There! That makes me feel better! I... ...detest ...abhor ...despise mending. I'm sure those of you who are virtuous mothers are shaking their heads and wondering what is the matter with me. I don't know where I missed it, but the pile of mending in my sewing center makes me cringe with hatred. Why do I wait until all of Allison's dresses are missing a button before I finally, grudgingly get out my needle and thread? Why does a dress hang for two years in my closet with chopped off sleeves that are only waiting for one seam? Why do John's Sunday pants lay over my bedroom chair for weeks before I finally get around to sewing the loophole back on? I've always hated repairing clothes. When I learned to sew and sewed my sleeve in upside down, I would have rather started all over than to tear out the one little seam. Mending is such a tedious chore. But today, when I finally got around to sewing on six buttons on six dresses, sewing up a hole in the back of another, and...

My God, My Elohim

 Thoughts on Genesis 1-3 My God, Elohim, Creator of heaven and earth, and Creator of me. This is a personal reminder of his great plan for me.  We are living symbols on earth of His own self. He put within us the "breath of life." Something only He can give. The first covenant was broken by man, but praise be to my Creator, he provided a second covenant to bring us back to Him! Jesus paid the blood atonement for my sins and conquered death forever. Though our bodies die and decay, the Lord, my God will again plant the tree of life (Rev. 22:2) and we can once again experience an Eden (delight, a land of happiness) when we die and go to be with our Creator, our Redeemer, our Lord. The path of the just is as a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. -Prov. 4:18
