LOVE is our theme of the month, and we are working on learning ways to show LOVE other than just telling someone that we LOVE them. Our kids have brainstormed some fun and budget-friendly ways to show LOVE for others. We want to learn to create memories without spending a fortune.

Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well. We are coming out of a cold spell here, and happy to see some warmer temperatures. We have not set any New Year’s resolutions as we want to develop some lasting habits and routines that help draw our family closer. We will continue to work on routines that we have established, while adding new ones slowly.
I have a lot of plans for our family, home, and blog this year, and I pray that GOD will lead me in a way that I can inspire others and help them to create some simple habits that lead to a peaceful year. We will be focusing more on intentional living, making rest more of a priority, and creating a more peaceful rhythm for our family.

We’ve been super busy and I haven’t had a chance to check in but all is well here.
We’ve been working super hard in our gardens and yard and the work is paying off as we’ve been eating quite a bit of fresh fruits and veggies that we’ve grown.
Here are a few pics that we’ve taken recently… maybe more than a few but we like sharing progress!
On our journey to learning more about the Biblical Feasts and Holy Days we can’t help but take some time to focus on the Sabbath Day. Many of us have heard of this one but some of us, myself included, haven’t ever really thought about how it should be observed. Well, let me tell you that I’ve been learning a lot and I’m trying to incorporate what I’ve learned into our lives but it has proven to be a bit more difficult than it should be.
The Sabbath is probably the hardest of all the 10 commandments to keep… I had never thought about it until lately but it’s true for most of us. God created the Sabbath day as a day of rest and too often we just look at it as a ‘day off’ or a ‘free day’ from our regular work but we will use it to ‘catch-up’ on projects that we need to get done… I’m so guilty of this!
27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
So I’ve been talking about the Biblical Feasts and the Sabbath but have I actually been trying to put these things into action?
Yes, we have. We don’t have a perfect routine yet but we are trying to make an intentional effort to include the Sabbath into our weeks as well as making plans to include the Biblical Feasts into our yearly plans… even though we aren’t quite sure how that will look yet.
As far as the Sabbath goes, we have been doing it on Sundays. I know there is a lot of debate about Saturday or Sunday but for now, Sunday is what works for us. I also know that the Sabbath should begin at sundown the day before but we didn’t do that either although I may try to start that.
