Happy St. Nicholas Day! . St. Nicholas Day poem, a

Happy St. Nicholas Day!
.
St. Nicholas Day poem, author unknown.
.

Holy Bishop St. Nicholas lived faraway
Near the Aegean Sea is where Turkey did lay.
Travel back with us now to a time long ago.
We will visit his country, his life we will know.
.

We remember this saint, such a holy, good man.
Be like him in charity, do all that you can.
Many miracles Nicholas hastened to do,
Helping people in need with gifts that were new.
Bishop Nicholas traveled to Nicea town,
Where the Creed would be written, to us handed down.
During church every Sunday, we stand for the Creed.
Thank you Bishop St. Nicholas, for doing this deed.
Sailors tossed in the wind and the storms of the sea,
Saw a vision of Nicholas who guided them free.
Now patron of sailing, they remember him yet.
Many icons and pictures with fisherman’s net.
Giving money to poor girls, so marry could they,
Made our Nicholas famous, remembered today.
With dowry in hand, soon they were wed.
“God bless you and keep you,” St. Nicholas said.
Kid’s patron in Germany, Netherlands, too.
Asks that presents be given to children like you.
Their customs are different: they put out their shoes—
Filling them with toys, his coming’s good news!
Here stockings are hung by the chimney with care,
In hope that St. Nicholas soon will come there.
Dressed as bishop or Santa, he’s one and the same—
Jolly, friendly, good man, we’re glad that he came.
Call him “Santa” or “saint,” they both mean the same,
For his nickname is Claus, short for Nicholas’ name.
Giving gifts was his custom—we still do today.
Deeds done in Jesus’ name forever will stay.
Bishop Nicholas still is a hero to all.
Christmas Day, and all others we follow his call,
Bringing gifts and some joy to children in need.
Follow Nicholas today—do a good deed.

📐 Today’s #charlottemasonmondays subject is h

📐 Today’s #charlottemasonmondays subject is handicrafts. The wonderful world of useful abilities fostered through intentional and careful instruction and cultivation. Here’s what Miss Mason herself had to say:
.
"The points to be borne in mind in children's handicrafts are: (a) that they should not be employed in making futilities such as pea and stick work, paper mats, and the like; (b) that they should be taught slowly and carefully what they are to do; (c) that slipshod work should not be allowed; (d) and that, therefore, the children's work should be kept well within their compass.
.
Again we know that the human hand is a wonderful and exquisite instrument to be used in a hundred movements exacting delicacy, direction and force; every such movement is a cause of joy as it leads to the pleasure of execution and the triumph of success. We begin to understand this and make some efforts to train the young in the deft handling of tools and the practice of handicrafts. Some day perhaps, we shall see apprenticeship to trades revived and good and beautiful work enforced. In so far, we are laying ourselves out to secure that each shall "live his life"; and that, not at his neighbor's expense; because, so wonderful is the economy of the world that when a man really lives his life he benefits his neighbor as well as himself; we all thrive in the well being of each."
.
💖 As with every other facet of a CM education, we are working to build the character of the child. Cultivating diligence, observation, and the foundation upon which the Holy Spirit builds virtues and wisdom is always the end goal.
.
🔨 For our family, #charlottemasonhandicrafts look like so many life skills. Building, gardening, cooking, origami and sloyd, wood working, sewing, yard work, and so many other things that instill a sense of pride in a job well done.
.

#Advent poetry from Gerard Manly Hopkins

Moonless Darkness
.

Moonless darkness stands between.
Past, the Past, no more be seen!
But the Bethlehem-star may lead me
To the sight of Him who freed me
From the self that I have been.
Make me pure, Lord: Thou art holy;
Make me meek, Lord: Thou wert lowly;
Now beginning, and alway:
Now begin, on Christmas day.

Is anyone else ready to bake some Advent cookies?

Is anyone else ready to bake some Advent cookies? We love these **Amish Maple Iced Cookies**:

**Cookie ingredients**:

4 large eggs

1 C of sugar

1 C of brown sugar, packed

1 1/2 C of butter

1 C of milk

5 C of flour

2 tsp of baking soda

4 tsp of baking powder

1 1/2 tsp of salt

3 tbsp of maple flavoring

**Icing ingredients**:

2 C of confectioner's sugar

1/4 C of maple syrup

1-2 tbsp of milk

2 tbsp of melted butter

**Directions**:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat, set aside.

In a mixer blend together eggs, sugar, brown sugar and butter till combined.

In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

Add the flour mixture, milk and maple flavoring into the mixer then mix till combined.

Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out batter onto the lined cookie sheet, leave at least 1 to 2 inches of space in between each scoop.

Dip a spoon in water and press the tops down gently till flattened.

Bake for 10-15 minutes.

Once baked, allow cookies too cool for 10 minutes or until cool to touch. Enjoy with a strong cup of @yorkshire_gold for the best experience 😉.

Advent is a time of remembrance. With everything in the world being upside down, we must be diligent in reminding ourselves in Whose hands we rest.

Matthew 10:29-31 has always been one of my favorite verses- Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
.
So I’ve collected many birds over the years because they bring these verses to mind and remind me that the Lord is always with me. Today I’m sharing a beautiful poetic hymn and we hope your family loves it as much as ours.
.
His Eye is on the Sparrow by Civilla Martin.
.
Why should I be discouraged and why should the shadows fall?
Why should my heart be lonely and long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion, my constant Friend is He,
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.

I sing because I'm happy;
I sing because I'm free;
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me.

Let not your heart be troubled; these tender words I hear;
And resting on his goodness I lose my doubts and fears;
For by the path He leadeth but one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.

Whenever I am tempted; whenever clouds arise;
When songs give place to sighing; when hope within me dies;
I draw the closer to Him; from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.
His eye is on the sparrow and I know He watches me.

I sing because I'm happy;
I sing because I'm free;
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me...

Poetry is beautiful reminder of how kind and graci

Poetry is beautiful reminder of how kind and gracious words can wrap around you like a warm hug. Advent is the same for our souls only on a much grander and glorious scale!
.
We hope you’ll join us for #AGentleAdvent this year!
.
Today we’re sharing a poem by the beloved Wendell Berry called To Think of the Life of a Man.
.

In a time that breaks
in cutting pieces all around,
when men, voiceless
against thing-ridden men,
set themselves on fire, it seems
too difficult and rare
to think of the life of a man
grown whole in the world,
at peace and in place.
But having thought of it
I am beyond the time
I might have sold my hands
or sold my voice and mind
to the arguments of power
that go blind against
what they would destroy.
I leave all that behind.
.

“We are women, and my plea is let me be a woman,

“We are women, and my plea is let me be a woman, holy through and through, asking for nothing but what God wants to give me, receiving with both hands and with all my heart whatever that is.” Elizabeth Elliot.
.
As we render thousands of small acts of service and love and care and comfort- we are in service to our Abba God in each act, no matter how small. What glorious kindness He bestows on us to allow us to be grace makers and gate keepers of our homes!
.
May you find joy and peace in the art of homemaking and serving not only this holiday week, but each and every day dear friends. This quiet and unassuming work has so many eternal rewards.
.
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!
