Brownies and a babe

Today is Sunday...a day of rest.

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

I love this scripture from Matthew 11. Sometimes I can get so overburdened with things going on in life. It is SO comforting to remember that God's got it. He is carrying this burden. I don't have to. I'm not alone.  I really need to LEARN more from Him!

...Sunday is also a day to celebrate during lent, and have some sugar! Mmm! I'm not huge into cake and pies and such, I do like candy...gum...sugar in my coffee...and such. I have really come to like coffee without sugar, and almost don't like it with sugar!

But, something I have been wanting over the last few weeks is brownies! 

Today presented the perfect opportunity.  We are a babysitting two this weekend, and this afternoon Tim took all the boys to the trailer for a work afternoon- likely movie for the boys, Rachel is at a friends, and the wee one is having a nap- brownie time!

I also happened to do some less than exciting essentials, which somehow seemed almost relaxing in my current situation- dishes and dinner prep.

Enjoying a time of quiet, a time of rest, a time to breathe...and smell, soon eat...brownies!
Perfect timing, I hear the babe stirring!
