Minnesota Fall/Winter Ideas

If you are looking for a fun place to learn and explore with your kiddos, this is a fun place to go! Oakdale Nature Preserve https://ci.oakdale.mn.us/Facilities/Facility/Details/Oakdale-Nature-Preserve-26

It has a clean and nicely paved asphalt paths where you can walk, run, bike, and play! There are random workout stations that you can utilize. A park near a neighborhood with a picnic gazebo where you can have lunch. Sweet darling benches in the right places where you are able to take in the scenery. And finally, a nice building full of activities and fun learning things for your kiddos! 

We did that today. It was a bit cold and cloudy but the leaves were spectacular on this fall crisp MN morning! We went to the play area in the building and were able to play with all types of sensory things! They have some awesome taxidermy animals that you are able to learn from and look at. It was a great experience for the girls to explore while the seasons start to change. This is a perfect spot for those long winter months! 

Thanks for stopping in! Joyful Home Welcomes You! Hi* :)

Crocheting To Bless

Image
Some of the activities that I have been doing in my life, is crocheting. When I start on a project, I'll ask the Lord who He would like for me to bless this time. As I was creating this sweater, I didn't have anyone on my heart until it was finished. A wonderful beautiful 13 year old girl got this one. I love surprising people with handcrafted gifts. It brings so much delight!

My Provider

Unsplash-Sixteen Miles Out Today started out a little too early for me but all is well. Emma woke up at 3:00am and didn't want to go back to sleep. Very unlike her, so I know that this will not be a daily routine thing. I did learn a few things through my tiredness hanging out with her and the Lord.  Philippians 4:18,19 (NLT) "...they are a sweet smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God. And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus."  Paul was grateful of the Philippian church that sent him a financial gift of help and he was stating that these gifts were sweet-smelling to the Lord. While I was in the kitchen with Caleb getting my coffee, I smelt a beautiful flowery smell. I asked him, "do you smell that?" He said that he didn't. I said that maybe it is the Lord allowing me to smell it and described the smell as spring flowers. Sometimes sacrifices com...

Omnipresent God - Attributes of the Most High

 What does omnipresent mean? God is everywhere. His presence is near and permeating.

"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven You are there, If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me." What does verse 9 mean? "If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea..." The spread and speed of light spilling into the morning sky from East to West. Light itself cannot outrun God's presence and knowledge. "Even there Your hand will lead me." His hand is a hand of love and care. His "right hand will hold me" is the hand of skill and stren...
