Good morning! I'm linking up with Kim for...
For some reason I knew right away what picture I wanted to use today... usually I search and search. I'm not really sure this quote goes with this picture, but my 10 year old daughter approved so that was enough for me.
Now that I look at it a little more closely, I think the appearance of the somewhat bare branches symbolizes the simplicity of the stable, and the yellow flowers symbolize the brightness of His birth.
Have a great day!
On to G.K. Chesterton...I saw this quote on Pinterest, but I wanted to verify it before I made a published post about! He is such a great author and so difficult for me to understand... I usually have to read each sentence a minimum of three times before I can begin to comprehend it.
“To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it.” – A Short History of England, Ch.10
After a few minutes of making sure I understood it, I realized this was a much more interesting and intelligent way of saying our new family motto: Just because you can...doesn't mean you should! I could write too much about all the things this applies to in this culture, but I won't. I could probably continue this blog strictly commenting on Chesterton quotes. I envy his wisdom.
On a side note, I get to see 'Les Miserables' tonight with Erin - really looking forward to that!
We had a successful art day at the Everett's as usual. It's double the excitement when you get to make art out of food and then eat it!
