rest

-

 Been thinking a lot about resting. Not just going to bed. Not just sleeping. But resting. A time where you make yourself rest. You purposely choose items, places and times that work for you to just shut down. No guilt of unfinished projects or chores. Just a time for you. This is really hard for me. I have been raised to serve. It's not about me; I am to take care of everyone else. So hard to just let go and do nothing. The Bible emphasizes the importance of rest and how it can honor God. Resting in God's love is a theme found throughout the Scriptures, offering believers peace, assurance, and spiritual renewal....He gives rest to those he loves, not just rest for our bodies. But rest for our mind, spirit and soul. He cares when we are pushed too hard. So, I am trying...trying to find my place. Trying to find a guilt free place.... trying to just let this body rest and find a perfect peace. God bless...enjoy the day.

Removing and replacing our old pathway

 We moved into our home about 15 years ago at that time we decided to place a walkway down through the yard to a firepit.  Our family loves to sit around the backyard fire and roast hotdogs and marshmallows.  We haven't done much to the walkway except spray it once in a while with weed kill but today we decided it was time to remove and repair.  So we began to dig out the bricks..it was amazing how some were buried and some were broken.  They all were beginning to sink down deeper and deeper. There was a lot of moss that had even grown over the top of them.  But hubby and I worked together and got them all dug up.  The pathway went from the deck to the firepit ring.  All of these bricks have been recycled we would watch for free ones.  Sometimes just driving down the road there would be bricks with a sign take all you want.  So some of these bricks have different says on them.  We also enjoy using our dutch ovens....
