Oh my GOOD-NESS!



One of our favorite things to do here locally, is to visit the Farmers Market in the lovely Boulder. We are certain there are wonderful ones in Denver area as well, but I think we have just fallen in love with Boulder b/c of the small town feel and all the quaint shops and strange quietness of the town.  We came to Boulder on our trip to scope out Wyoming years ago, and have been coming back ever since whenever we had a free weekend. 
We started out with lunch ...BBQ for Josh and the kids - I chose a Falafel wrap.  It was a gorgeous morning to relax and eat good food and be together!


Then we began taking in the sights....


The setting...


Cinderella pumpkins everywhere!!


Now this is FALL.....


 

Oh life is SO precious! It's the little things.  Truly, don't miss it. Give others a smile, even when they don't smile back. Let someone go ahead of you in line..are you really in that big of a hurry?  Slowdown! Be kind. It can be discouraging to be around people all the time who don't lift our spirits.  But, hang on, don't go there. Look up!  Find YOUR joy! Mine is in the mountains with my family, reading that book with my children and talking about it, washing and ironing my husbands pants so that life is easier for him, staying home in the day, praying over my children, and making our nest lovely, comfortable, clean, happy!  If I may, I recommend a Saturday at the Farmers market with your family, for good-ness sake !!

2 days before the twins arrived....

2 days before the twins arrived....
I am so thankful my Dad took this picture....to remind me what it felt like to hold two precious lives inside of me...

Be encouraged!

Lord fill my heart with Yours
that I may know Your will,
those things that I should act upon
and when you want me still.

Guard my mind from useless thoughts
that clutter, harm, confuse.
Create in me a closeness
that Your course I'll always choose.

Clear my hearing, teach me
to identify the lies,
that I may only hear the truth
of who I am in Christ.

Lord, satisfy and fill me
with Your Spirit from above,
that I may truly know the freedom
of Unfailing Love.

Then planted deeply in that love,
my heart in full surrender,
Lift the veil for all to see,
my life display Your splendor.


Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
