Our fifth annual Epiphany dinner! We changed things up this year and ordered from our favorite local pizza place instead of having the usual pot roast or chili. Needless to say, it was a BIG hit. (And so delicious, even though I could only eat the smallest piece due to my darn dairy sensitivity.) We have no idea what 2021 will bring, but our family goals definitely still seem achievable:
- Increase our hearts of service. I mentioned this quote attributed to Mother Teresa: “Wash the dishes not because it is dirty nor because you are told to wash it, but because you love the person who will use it next.”
- Work as a team, especially as we begin working on our new farm.
After dinner, everyone ripped open their gifts wrapped in gold paper and seemed pleased with my choices. Our Epiphany books for 2021:
MARK – Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad by John Eldredge
ASHLEY – The Lifegiving Home: Creating a Place of Belonging and Becoming by Sally Clarkson
M (age 14) – Echo Island by Jared C. Wilson
D (age 12) – If We Survive by Andrew Klavan
J (age 10) – Snared: Lair of the Beast by Adam Jay Epstein
S (age 8) – Amelia Bedelia & Friends: Beat the Clock by Herman Parish
T (age 6) – Mikey and the Dragon by Jocko Willink
P (age 4) – Thomas on the Moon
I’ve had The Lifegiving Home on my TBR list forever and ever—you’ll have to let me know what you think! The only way I’ll be able to read it is if I buy it since the library doesn’t have it, so I’m curious to see if it’s worth a purchase!
I like that it’s broken up by month, so I plan to read a little bit all year. I’ll report back!
How fun!
