Market Day - Halloween



A drizzly Halloween morning at the farmers market. My husband and kids painted pumpkins while I did some shopping. Picked up 1/2 dozen pastured eggs, Arkansas Black apples, honey, a mix of cosmic purple and regular carrots, broccoli heads, green peppers, kale and green beans. Also had a great time visiting with a new vendor to the market - Mae Farm (Louisburg, NC). I can't wait to try their pastured pork bacon and pastured, maple sausage links!

This place is messy and loud and full of irresponsible choices.
This place where things are never where they are supposed to be...

But this place is also full of life.
This place is full of joy.

This place is full of amazing young people whom God fashioned and designed
for some glorious purpose.
What a privilege it is to be the ones who get to watch what
God is doing to draw their hearts to His.

Rest


No one was created to work or function at an intense pace all the time. Our bodies and minds need rest and relaxation. We need to take breaks; we need to have fun; we need to do so on a regular basis.

My company offers a wonderful paid time off program which gives each employee a bank of time to use in whatever way they choose. I'm using some of my time, to get an early start on the weekend.
