Today and Yesterday

As I celebrate this as my 150th post, the washer is spinning, the dryer is tumbling...the beds are made and the smell of breakfast still lingers in the air. Martha is cooking a rack of lamb and steaming asparagus. I pulsed whole wheat bread crumbs, from left over bread, in the processor to coat a roast with later today. The windows are closed after a sprinkling of cool rain last night causing the air to be crisp, cool, and clean.

Pollen is gathered in ripples unlike the dusting of yesterday. 

Yesterday was Palm Sunday; a day of joyful singing at church. The message was in the music presented by our worship choir. The title:

I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVES.

Here are a few lines and other sub titles from the musical…

"Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?

And who told the ocean you can only come this far?

And who showed the moon where to hide till evening?

Whose words alone can catch a falling star?"

  I adore these words and Nicole c. Mullen sings it the best…
well besides our choir…you can listen and watch Nicole here…
it will give you chill bumpies… 

"The same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken

They conquered death to bring me victory."

Broken into Beautiful~

"You change worthless into precious

Guilty to forgiven,

Hungry into satisfied,

Empty into full,

All the lies are shattered,

And we believe we matter

When you change broken into beautiful."

~Gwen Smith, you can listen to her song here 

A Sinner Saved by Grace

"Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, because He lives, all fear is gone."

He’s Alive, Halleluiah!

I couldn’t help but sing along with them from where I sat in the pew with Jackie.

It was beautiful and uplifting.

All the laundry is finished and put away…The sun is not shining today but it is still a great day, one worth living. I’m hoping to see my English peas blooming soon and the broccoli to start “heading” out. The onions and potatoes are growing wild. It is such a joy to be able to watch something grow by your hands. I also planted my mixed flower seeds over the weekend, got to bring some bees to the garden.

Going now to prepare and put the roast in the oven. I wonder what Martha is cooking up now? *whispering "I like to watch Paula better…don’t tell Martha" Shhh…

We will have some company this Easter weekend………Oh yes!

Keeping it real and uncomplicated…
