If you have known me for very long, you know that one of my favorite books is The Singing Tree by Kate Seredy. One day, maybe I'll open a Bed and Breakfast decorated in birds and named the Singing Tree, but until then, I'll just enjoy whomever God sends my way.
Recently, Benjamin asked if he could come stay for a weekend because Hannah was hosting a bachelorette party at their house. Then Sarah requested a bed since she was sharing at a nearby church the same weekend.
When Olivia heard her sibs would be around, she and Connor rearranged their work schedules so they could also come for a visit. For a few hours, I enjoyed a very full house with all my kids, minus Hannah. We made lots of yummy food, like this pear upside down cake with pears from my favorite farmer, Billianne.
We sat in the congregation as Sarah shared her passion and excitement for helping people worship with their own forms of art and music.
And my cousin, Luke, joined us for lunch. We decimated a couple of roasts from one of our local beef farmers. It was so nice to have a full table again.
Our family makes music almost without even thinking, but this time we had a world premier by the almost famous composer, B.A. Choate. One of his college friends is a high school choir director and requested a setting of Psalm 121. As we sang, we were blown away by the beauty and creativity of Benjamin. We field tested the song so he could hear how it sounded and also get an idea of the difficulty level. What a joy to make music with this amazing crew of young adults!
