Quote of the Week
“Jesus sees the cries of our spirit, and actually defines us by our budding virtues. He does not define us by our struggles, He defines us by the cry in our spirit to say “Yes” to Him.”– Mike Bickle

1-8 oz. container of Cool Whip
approx. 1 c. grapes, cut in half
2 stalks of celery, diced
approx. 3/4 to 1 c. sour cream
3/4 to 1 c. chopped nuts (opt.)
1/2 to 1 bag of mini marshmallows
Mix all together in a large bowl. Keep refrigerated 🙂
Farmgirl Favorites ~ Favorite Christmas CD’s
Click here to hear some of the samples of “An Evening in December” 🙂
Click HERE for samples of “The Majesty and Glory of Christmas”
Samples of “To God All Praise and Glory, Vol. 5”
Mommy was cleaning and found a bag of undeveloped film. She laid it on her computer desk and Charissa asked, “What are those?!”
When we were looking for a Christmas tree, we stick a weed or an old branch in a promising evergreen so that we can find it again if we want to come back to it. After finding a tree that we thought was worth putting into our “favorites”, Charissa asked, “Did we bookmark that Christmas tree?”
Noah and Isaiah were chasing each other, and Noah wanted to stop for a minute to take off his socks. He called out to Isaiah, “Pause! Isaiah, pause!” Mommy said that when she was little, it was “times”, not “pause”!
There is this Christmas e-card that the little ones have seen, and they happen to think it is funny enough to copy…here’s Noah’s version of it 🙂 I personally like Noah’s better than Daysprings 😀 If you can’t see the video here on the blog, click HERE to see it.
Note: The Seven Sisters Treasures is a weekly post where we share some of our favorite things. We try to post a new one every Friday. Hope you enjoy! ~The Farmgirls
