Books, books, and more books

We just finished Corrie Ten Boom, Keeper of the Angel's Den this week.  Oh.My.  I have fallen in love with the Christian Heroes Then and Now series of books.  

We have also read George Mueller and Gladys Aylward in that series.  SUCH great books!  

 I have a big pile of books to be read - or am currently reading, or have started and put down to read something else...in other words, I need to buckle down and use all my spare minutes wisely 😊😊😊 :

  

We are absolutely LOVING these narration cubes.  😍

We just got home from a park and a museum - celebrating my youngest child's birthday.  How do they grow up so fast?  The years have sped by and it is truly bittersweet.  The joy of getting to watch them grow up is incomparable to anything else I have ever experienced, but I dread the good-byes looming on the horizon.

October is here!

We just wrapped up "Kisses From Katie".  I feel like in the process we bid a dear friend good-bye.

My oldest is reading "Trumpet of the Swan" to all of us.  One of my favorite parts of the day.

We just began "Corrie Ten Boom" (Christian Heroes Now and Then).  I LOVE this series of missionary stories.

We have had SO SO many doctor and therapy appointments the past two months and so many more facing us.  I am SO tired of sitting in doctor office waiting rooms.  The magazines crumpled from nervous hands repeatedly rifling through the pages.  I am so ready to be done with this season.

I am so ready for the fall and holiday season.  I recently turned 42 years old, and realized that the older I get, the more special this time of year becomes.  During the first few days of cool weather I feel a bit like a caged animal being released.  The long, oppressive heat of the summer is (mostly) over and the holiday season is on the horizon.  

CANNOT wait!

Psalm 34:8

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good!

Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
