Never a dull moment

Dans Birthday is today, the kitchen is a total mess after making hubbys favorite dinner of Ham & Beans and Indian Fry Bread. We had alot of fun visiting with family. Dans family is all located in Northern Arizona and my family is just not very close. I have however had the opportunity to get in touch with a cousin of mine. We have kids the same age and Jerry and his girls Alyssa 8, and Heather 14 and Chris 23 tend to join us for many activities lately. I have done 3 loads of dishes today in the dishwasher... and STILL have a sink full of dishes. I actually finally cleaned the microwave to turn around not 5 minutes later and Chris... working on the computer asks me to hand him the beans he stuck in there to heat up. Yep, there they are... ON TOP of the microwave cover that keeps the food from splattering all over the inside of the microwave. Hmmm, I wonder why I can not keep on top of the house cleaning?


By the end of the evening... so I am tired of frying bread and throw the rest of the freshly ground whole wheat bread dough in pans to bake bread and get my bread going (I am allergic to wheat and anything with flour) I am also out of 2 of the mulitple of flours that it takes to make a loaf of bread that is gluten free. I make 2 beautiful loaves for the family and look what I get for subsitituting ingredients on mine.... grrr. Just gotta love that gluten free baking! I do love baking but the gluten free is such a challenge!

I am a child of Royal birth

I am starting a new blog today on blogger .com after visiting teaching and seeing a new sister to me. I got to meet Melanie Hunsaker a little better. She is just a beautiful gal. I am not always the most spiritual gal, but I really felt the spirit today and am thankful to add her onto my route. Below is a poem from her childhood that went beautifully with the lesson for the month.

A Child of Royal Birth

by Anna Johnson

I am a child of royal birth;

My Father is king of heaven and earth.

My spirit was born in the courts on high.

A child beloved, a princess am I.

I was nurtured there; I lived by His side

In a home where patience and love abide.

My Mother was there in that glorious place,

Blessing her children with queenly grace.

I grew to the stature that spirits grow;

I gained the knowledge I needed to know.

I was taught the truth and I knew the plan

That God and Christ laid out for man.

I was there when the stars of the morning sang.

My voice was heard when the heavens rang.

I was there to rejoice, to praise, and applaud

And I shouted for joy with the sons of God.

I waited my turn to came to earth.

Through the wonderful channel of human birth.

The curtains were closed and the past was gone.

On the future too, the curtains were drawn.

I came to earth and God willed it so-

With freedom to choose the path I should go.

I must search for the truth;

I must serve and obey.

I must walk by faith or fall by the way.

Someday, I will go back; I will answer the call.

I'll return with my record to the Father of all.

The books will be opened and so will my heart,

And there will be rejoicing if I've done my part.

My Father the King with his infinite love

Will welcome me back to the mansions above.

The curtains will part, and eternity

In its light and glory will open to me.
