PENSIEVE

Monday, September 18

In good company

Before I headed out for the day, I checked in with Everyday Mommy to see the results for the Writing from the Heart contest she hosted last month. Although I haven't read all the entries, I'm working my way through the list. If you'd like to be encouraged (and hear the testimonies about how children teach US about God), hang out there this week during your blogging time. They're rather diverse AND insightful.

My entry, if I'm not mistaken, had the most comments I've ever received on a post. It certainly was heartfelt, almost painful to write...but ultimately redemptive. A warm smile is curling around my lips right now as I consider the irony (?) of my most "challenging" child being the one who has taught me the most about God.... To me, THAT...is...beautiful :).

As far as my tag, I'm usually a very strict rule-follower and my "deviation" from the "form" was my lack of paying attention. I actually thought "quotes" were on the assignment, so now we have another category for the Tagging.
Soups: Yucatan Lime is just a chicken broth soup with whatever type of spices you like and lots of lime. Posole has whole hominy in a light broth. I'll post those recipes soon because they are wonderful for the upcoming season.
