Apron Strings & Blessings Weekly Newsletter Vol. 10
Thanks for joining me for this week’s, “Apron Strings & Blessings.” Let’s take a look at all things faith, family, and home!
I hope you had a great week and weekend! Mine was busy but great.
We went to the State Fair of Texas last week to watch the girls show their chickens and had a blast. They did very well this year!

Saturday’s Post – Lessons from “The Little Red Hen”
This is an older post that needed lots of updating. It was really a fun post, because I was able to use a few real chicken pictures – thanks to my daughter and granddaughter!
This Month’s Scripture
“Don’t you say, ‘There are still four more months, and then comes the harvest?’ Listen to what I’m telling you: Open your eyes and look at the fields, because they are ready for harvest.” John 4:35
A Message from My Quiet Time
I am reading the book of Numbers, so there aren’t as many nuggets as in some of the other books, but they are still there.
“Tell the Israelites: When a man or woman commits any sin against another, that person acts unfaithfully toward the Lord and is guilty.” Numbers 5:6
It is so easy to think of our sins against others as just that – “against others.” When you think about them being against the Lord, it makes you think twice.

Meal Planning Tools
I have been working on a few things to make meal planning easier. Here are a few simple meal planning charts. I added a variety, because I know not everyone likes the same format.

I can’t believe how much the girls are growing! I swear it feels like they were just in elementary school. I’m excited about their ribbons. I know raising animals and keeping them healthy is not for the faint of heart so it’s exciting to see them being rewarded for all their hard work and extra care. Can’t wait to dive into these links and hear all about the conference. I hope you have the best time! Hugs, CoCo
It is crazy, isn’t it??? I can’t believe they are both in high school! I know you understand with your nephew.
