tuning


 We had our piano tuned a little while back.  When the young man got here, he started right away to take it all apart.  I had never *seen* inside the piano before.  It's just something I don't want to take apart and try to put back together.  Besides, I might see things I don't want to see. 


 It has been in need of a tuning for quite a while.  It's just easy to put it off because it still PLAYS.  You can still make music on it.  Now, if we would have had a finely tuned piano next to it to compare it to, we may have gotten it tuned sooner.  It didn't really take that long and it wasn't THAT much money.


It was worth it, everything sounds better and I feel better knowing we did what we could for it!  The rest is up to Kimberly!  It is so nice to have a piano player in the house, I've enjoyed her for many years.  I love it when she plays out of the Fiddler on the Roof book!  
 When my dad hears a kid hollering or being bad, he says, "That kid needs a tune-up."  When I was growing up, about the only tune-up I needed was a look from dad.  He could change my young mind with just a glance.   


Do YOU need a tune up?  How are you managing?  What's really going on in your heart?  Only YOU can really know.  You can look good and sound good and do all the things you should, but what if somebody took off your cover?  And looked inside?  Are you putting something spiritual off that needs to be taken care of TODAY?  Will the cost be too much for you to make a change?  Don't want to think about it?   Are you comparing yourself to the worst?  Or to the Lord?  Search me O' God........and know my heart today.  Tune my heart to sing thy grace.  
Do YOU need a tune-up?

See yourself as an old piano.

Don't Be Idle

This is Zephyr. She is the most discontent, unhappy cat I've ever seen in my life. She is selfish plain and simple. All she can think about is HER belly. This is not done in silence. When I get up (early), she's been up for hours wasting away. She's died of starvation 8 times. Don't be like Zephyr. The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   "Who are the men who are most discontented?  but idle persons-- for they lie around and find fault with everything."   (page 50-51) Zephyr is an unhappy cat. Not a happy camper.   How about you? IDLE lazy, slothful, work-shy (ha ha) shiftless, inactive, sluggish (like a bad drain) without purpose DISCONTENT dissatisfaction with circumstances displeasure Have you no weeds to pull? No list to make or finish? No bread to bake? Nothing to mend or fix? No corner to clean? Nothing to learn? No letter to write? No project to fin...

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
