"He saw his pride and then he cried,

For all that he had done
For he had lied, when he denied
His light came from the Sun."

Found a beautiful fun book on humility and pride, called "Fool Moon Rising"

This week the kids and I are learning Phil 2:3.  "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility of mind, regard one another as more important than yourself."

This verse sheds light for me on what it means to respect my husband.  In fact it defines respect for me.  It is to "regard" or "treat as" more important (not that we aren't equals).  Respect requires a humility of mind...a going lower so as to bring someone else up higher.  A Looking Up To instead of over at...on purpose.  The verse dovetails well into my own study on Love & Respect w/my marriage small group.  I feel I am on a journey to grasp and understand a concept foreign to me for many reasons--respect. 

Girls skate first time!

  I found a free rink in Hyde Park, "Midway Plaisance, " and enjoyed watching my girls skate for the first time. We thrifted their skates a few weeks back because we are reading, "Hans Brinker and the Silver Skates"and I was intent on them at least trying. I rented some skates today for $6 and loved skating to Christmas R&B. EVERYONE was falling down, too which was hilarious!

I'm reading...

  "Pagoo" by Holling to the girls. I was intrigued by the goosehead barnacles Hollings mentions because their heads look like geese...and found this picture of a load washed up on the beach in Wales. Aren't they incredible?
