Tea Time!

The Kids and I have been enjoying tea time lately, either in the mornings or afternoons. We put on a pot of water in our red tea kettle and wait to hear the blustering, steaming, whistle! Then we get out the little sugar cubes, tea bags, and lemons, (if we have them). Then prep the table with Kayla's delicate tea mugs and saucers. Lastly, we gather around our table and graciously chat as we sip our tea. OK...maybe it's not that "perfect" but we do laugh a lot, and we do practice our manners!!
It has been fun to see that tea time means a lot to them and making tea time a memory during our days at home.

How I am Enjoying Caring For My sick Patient...

As I posted below about Gavin being sick...I thought I'd note...
How I am really enjoying pampering him. He can't open his mouth to talk too well due to blisters being on his lips. So I have to feed him things that are more liquidy. Yet, I am really enjoying making this a special time to care for him. I have begun, according to the children, a tradition that whoever is sick will get served with, "the sick tray". Yesterday Carson said, "Mommy I wish I was sick so I can have the 'sick tray'. So I told him that he could have the tray next time he was sick...thankfully he was just fine with that!
I remember my Mom would serve crackers with butter and soup whenever I was sick or not even. This was such a yummy, yet sweet memory...
So I served Gavin the same today for lunch...he was sooo excited!! He said it looked sooo good and soothing to him.
I love it when that the Lord allows us as Moms sweet moments like that. The times when our children are so blessed by the love that we show how much we care for them... just through the "little" traditions or things we do for them.

Simple Thoughts...

Isn't God Good???? As I was listening to the song "His Grace Is Enough", which is also on my song list, Isn't it so true? His Grace is enough!!!!! I can so easily forget that. No matter what our circumstances are. Thank You Lord for Worship music to help stir our hearts and lead us into Your presence. God...is...so...Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
