Fear no more

rest here under my boughs
let the canopy of my love
comfort and protect you
from the tempestuous storms of life

feel the winds calming now
as I lower my arms to you
soothing your fears with velvety leaves of truth

sleep here, my child
on strong roots that
have withstood the test of time
under the shelter of my branches
you will fear no more

On Responsibility

Sometimes I'd like to ask God why He allows poverty, famine, and injustice in the world when He could do something about it...but I'm afraid God might ask me the same question." ~Anonymous

Zakariah and Samarah, I hope you both have a great day!! 

Note to Self

Crunchiness at its best.

So, as most of you know, or could probably guess, I am anti-plastic bag. For these reasons.  The last time I went to the grocery store, I was completely crushed to realize how many produce bags I still use used, despite using reusable grocery bags. As vegetarians, you can imagine that we buy a lot of vegetables, which means upwards to 15 produce bags or more.  This totally negated the whole purpose of reusable grocery bags. 

Exciting news!!! I found someone on etsy who makes reusable bags for produce, and I bought a whole bunch. Now I can't wait to go grocery shopping!!! Finally, bag free!!!  Aren't they pretty?

Birthday Fun!
