a Meek and Quiet Spirit....

Do you struggle with a meek and quiet spirit? I just read this post on A wise woman builds her home, and it's all so true. She is a wise woman! Her post deals more with modesty, vanity, and the lusts of the world. Which I agree with in so many points she made I can not even try to expound on her wonderful post. Instead I want to deal more with the idea of a meek and quiet spirit.

...let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

1 Peter 2:4

And honestly who doesn't struggle with a meek and quiet spirit? We must admit we all have our days, our moments, or things we would like to push the rewind button and fix.
The 1828 Noah Websters Dictionary defines gentle and quiet as.....

gentle-Mild; meek; soft; bland; not rough, harsh or severe; as a gentle nature, temper or disposition; a gentle manner; a gentle address; a gentle voice.

meek- Mild of temper; soft; gentle; not easily provoked or irritated; yielding; given to forbearance under injuries.

quiet-Peaceable; not turbulent; not giving offense; not exciting controversy, disorder or trouble; mild; meek; contented.

Let if be the hidden man of he heart, in that which is not corruptible.

Joseph Smith Jr. spoke of the secret springs of action, and I just love that idea. What is the secret "spring" that sets you into action, or as in the scripture, the hidden heart. If our hearts are not meek and quiet, can we hear the spirit, can we be guided and lead by the Lord? No so we must begin in our heart, and then it will make that meek and quiet spirit, so much easier to achieve. Which is in the sight of God

of great price.

The Lord see's a meek and gentle spirit, pleasing, of great price. What would you pay to have it? We should give our all, because in reality it will only bring us closer to the Lord's true spirit.

So ladies, we should all examine our spirit, and how meek and quiet we are. If we have a meek and quiet spirit, it will only bring that same spirit to our homes, our families, our homeschool, our friends and us!

Simple Morning Time Geography, for the whole family.....

In our Morning Time we will be reading some fun and educational picture books to begin our family geography lessons. Yes I'm just starting this now, in March.... sometimes that happens. We've been studying geography in both our Good and the Beautiful Language Arts, and also our Mystery of History Lessons, so I don't actually feel bad about this! First up, for our World Geography. I decided to start with a general world geography book. I chose Somewhere in the World Right Now by Stacey Schuett. This book is alot of fun. It discusses different geographical areas, showing some amazing pictures. It mostly talks about the time zones and international date line. I thought that would be a nice introduction, and something we haven't really discussed a lot. We started our week off with this beauty, on Monday. After we finished our morning time, and headed to our school room. You see, we meet on our couches, in our family room for a lot ...

Homemade bread for our large family

making bread has been a huge part of my life as a mother... here’s the problem, don’t start making homemade bread, unless you plan on doing it forever!!! Once you eat homemade bread, it’s didficult to eat store brought breads!!! Even some of the nicest, most expensive, they just seem so dry and bland. That being said, I can make all our bread for our family of 11 (currently in the house) in about 15 minutes! (Not including the rise and bake time) I usually make it on the weekend, and then again around Wednesday or Thursday each week. Whenever I make it, I incorporate it into our dinner that night. Usually making 3 or 4 loaves of bread and 1 pan of rolls- for dinner. You see if you don’t do that, you’ll end up eating all of it the first night, right!!! No one can resist hot, fresh, homemade bread- especially with melted butter!!! 💖 So here’s the recipe, I know you’re all dying to have! This should make about 5 loaves of bread, or a mix of bread and r...
