Good Gifts

Our family has really been blessed by the effort we have made to eating well. I love baking all of our own bread, muffins and cookies from flour that I have milled myself and sweetening it all with honey. Cutting out artificial flavors, colors and sweeteners for my family feels good. Cookies for breakfast is normal around our house because the cookies here are healthier than most of the breakfast foods for sale.

This morning I was handing Nolan his muffin and I said, "I love giving you good things" (truly good, not just good tasting) and I realized that if I love giving good things to my children, how much more our Heavenly Father LOVES to give good things to His children. Not just material blessings in His good timing, but truly good things like the Fruit of the Spirit. He is holding these truly good and perfect gifts for us, we just have to accept them.

I am going to the store today to get all of the spices and etc needed to make our own grits, cornbread, salad dressings, breads and sweets..... I am having fun... even though my back is still hurting :(
