Berry Waffles

As a little girl I used to wake up on Saturday mornings to the smell of my Dad's pancakes. That was his way of showing love and helping us get excited for a day of work in the garden. Even though I don't get to send my boys out to work on a farm, I still like to keep up the tradition of making Saturday morning pancakes (or waffles), and cleaning our house.

Here's the recipe:

(i used 1/4 c of greek yogurt and 1 c of water instead of the milk - and it made it so yummy)

Today I was a little disappointed because I was looking forward to attending two of my friends' baby showers, but instead I was asked to step in and help with the music at a funeral as no one else was available. I knew this was an answer to my prayers to serve, but instead of being grateful, I was feeling a bit selfish. Nate was kind enough to be my pianist, and another good friend watched our boys while we played (she is the best). My heart changed however while I was there. It was so good to play 'The Lord is my Shepherd' from the 23rd Psalm and feel Heaven's love for this family, even though I didn't know them. Even though in the beginning I wasn't excited about missing my friend's baby shower, I was so grateful I knew that I had done the right thing. After the funeral, the sister of the man who had passed away mentioned that her Mother who is not a member of our Church, had felt the spirit during that song. That made me so happy. I always hope that perhaps one person will be blessed by my music. It was fun to practice at home and have Stanley and Mason listen to us enjoy making music together. I hope they will get to make music together someday, too!
