Pair of Posts

Quite interesting that Elizabeth's exhortation today of intentional housekeeping can be paired with Karen's post about her youngest, little Ramona, who is wise beyond her years...

May we all rise to our duties with fervor and joy. And realize that things don't have to be harder than it looks. With God's help and His grace, it can be all about Love.

:)

p.s. Bloggy Bookclub tomorrow. The Poisonwood Bible is on tap. Anyone else in?

Oh, Nutmeg, you're so sweet.

You know (I should post about this, too), I snuggle in with Ramona every night until she's asleep. And I have to confess that there are nights when I want to jump up, go do something else, feel impatient, etc. And then, she'll say something like and I realize what precious, holy time that hour before sleep is.

Sigh. :-)

And I'm so glad BNL is back!

Oops, make that:

"she'll say something like THAT"

Oh, just one more comment and then I'll shut up! :-)

I meant to tell you what made Ramona say it. We had done "Kids Against Hunger" that day, and she was on her sweet little five-year-old feet for more than 90 minutes, helping us measure and package rice meals. She'd had a vision of what it would be like, and it was very different. Still, such a profound little statement! Don't you just love being a mom?

Thank you also for the link about Audrey. We're praying.
