Springtime poem

My Mom loves poetry and she will send me a poem that she thinks I will like. This is one of my favorites! In the heart of a bulb Is a promise of Spring. In a little blue egg There's a bird that will sing. In the soul of a seed Is a hope of the sod. In the heart of a child Is the Kingdom of God. ~Anonymous I hope your Spring is filled with sunshine in your hearts!

Crispy Kale Chips


I found this super simple recipe for kale chips.

They are light, crispy and delicious!

Kale is a dark leafy green that is a nutritional powerhouse full of health boosting nutrients!


~Wash and dry your kale bunch.

~Tear leaves off of the tough stem into bitesize pieces.

~Spread on cookie sheet.

~Sprinkle with sea salt.

~Bake at 350* F. for 15 minutes or until crispy.

~Great alone, as a unique 'side' or on top of eggs or soup.
Don't be shy! Give it a try!

Of Love and Babies


When my newborn smiles at me like I am the center of her universe, my heart wants to leap right out of my body!

It is the most precious thing!

Such unconditional love!

She sees no flaws!

Only love!

Isn't it just a beautiful thing?

When do we stop loving like that?

I mean, we still have so much love and all as we get older~but do we still love as a child does?

I am telling you, I learn so much from babies and children that it just amazes me!

Have I put expectations on the love I have for my parents, husband or children, for example, that I no longer can love unconditionally.

Do I expect more of any relationship, where as a child I didn't expect anything?

We just loved!

Hmmm.

It is something to think about!

God just loves.

I want to go back to that feeling of just plain loving.

My baby has taught me to just love!

Forget about conditions and whatever else that keeps us from really, truly loving!

Thank you, Baby Rosie, for showing me God's way of loving!
