Maundy Thursday + Good Friday Reflections

Now before the feast of the passover,

when Jesus knew that His hour was come that He should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own which were in the world,

He loved them unto the end.

John 13:1 KJV

Jesus didn't just talk about love,

He put love 

into action.

 

Imagine this...

in the next few hours Jesus will see three of His disciples fall asleep instead of keeping vigil

with Him in the Garden of Gethsemane.

~.

Jesus will then be betrayed by the kiss of one who had

walked with Him for 3 1/2 years,

heard Him teach,

 shared His food,

seen Him heal the sick and even raise the dead.

~

Christ will before that night is over see

all His closest friends

desert Him,

and later

He'll hear one of them--

the one who confessed that He knew Jesus was the long awaited Messiah--

deny Him not once but several times.

~

Finally,

Jesus Christ 

 will be put through an illegal trial,

 scourged,

beaten,

publicly humiliated

and then executed between two criminals.

~  

And so what did Jesus do in those last few hours before He walked the Via Dolorosa...

the Way of Suffering?

Well the only begotten Son of God,

was about His Father's business.

 

We find Him eating with those who will soon desert Him;

we see Him humbly washing their feet--

(even the one He knew would betray Him). 

 

We hear Him praying for them

(and for those coming after who would also believe)

and we see Him continuing teaching;

 comforting and preparing them for the hard times ahead--

 

 Now that, is love...

true, agape, pure, perfect, sacrificial,

I Corinthians 13 love,

and that is the type of love we are to have one for another if we are His followers...

that is the type of love I am supposed to have.

 

A new commandment I give unto you,

That ye love one another; as I have loved you...

John 13:34 KJV

 

Blessings from me to you on this Maundy Thursday evening,

Aimee

 

Links/Notes:

The story of Christ's last passover on earth--

the Last Supper is told in the following chapters:

Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22, John 13-17 and also in I Corinthians 11:23-25.

 

Maundy Thursday:

The WORD on Wednesday: Looking Ahead to Good Friday

And He (Jesus) said,

Abba, Father, all things are possible unto Thee;

take away this cup from Me:

nevertheless not what I will, but what Thou wilt.

Mark 14:36 KJV

How often I've prayed prayers similar to this one but

--of course--

leaving out the last, most important part...

"nevertheless not what I will, but what Thou wilt".

I hate pain; I'm not fond of suffering either. 

Times of trials are no fun and can drain me emotionally and physically.

Oh, and did I say, submission is a "bit" difficult for me too?

Seemingly unanswered prayer

(prayers not answered my way and not in a timely fashion)

can leave me doubting God's love for me.

 

Of course that speaks more to my pride than God's love, doesn't it?

Jesus didn't doubt God's love.

He truly believed, He knew, all things would work together for good...

 He trusted His Father completely.

Yes, He knew that submission to His Father's plan

would mean horrific pain, suffering and humiliation for a time--

after all, by the time of His crucifixion, He had had ample opportunity to see many crucifixions

(the Romans practiced very public executions of those they condemned to death).

His humanity cried out for God to deliver Him from this,

and yet He was willing to do God's will--

despite the heavy cost

and because of His obedience, His submission even to death,

we can be reconciled to God--forgiven.

~

Abba Father help me to trust You in the good,

and also, in the bad times of my life.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen.

Have a blessed Holy Week

and a truly good,

Good Friday.

Blessings, Aimee

The WORD on Wednesday--but on Saturday this week:)

The LORD is my shepherd;

I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: 

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His Name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil:

for Thou art with me;

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

Thou annointest my head with oil;

my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

~

Lord, be my Shepherd for all the days of my life.  

Help me to recognize your provision and always be grateful for it.

Help me to surrender to Your will,

 as Your only begotten Son,

Jesus

did

 so that Your purposes may be accomplished

and Your Name be glorified.

Keep me from wandering off the path you have set before me

and

help me to rest in You alone.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen.

~

I will be taking off some time during the upcoming Holy Week for
 reflection, prayer, and family.

Wishing you all a blessed week.

Blessings, peace + love,

Aimee

Psalm 23 KJV

 

Almost Spring Garden Walk--continued...

Part 2...

It is at this time of the year that things change on a daily basis...

and I mean daily:)

Pieris--love these!

Forsythia--isn't this yellow glorious?

I am craving yellow by springtime...

sunny, cheerful yellow!

Our spring camellia...and yes, our autumn/winter blooming camellia is STILL blooming:)

It is going to need a long rest and TLC after blooming for all these months!

One of our many daffodils...

yellow, beautiful, yellow:)

 

So what is going on in your garden?

Blessings,

Aimee

 

Lots to do in the garden this year...

got any plans for yours?

Of Ducks, Geese, an Old Church + Spring Daffodils

Yesterday my path led a friend and I into Polk and Yamhill counties,

part of Oregon's so-called 'wine country'.

But we were not in search of wine...

we were in search of pretty rural views like this...country!

And we were in search of these guys and/or gals...

By the way, I've been thinking.

If I were a Canadian Goose,

would I be the one in front...

leading the way,

taking the full force of the wind

or one of the geese in the middle...

protected somewhat from the perils of the journey,

a follower.

Or would I be the one in the back...

trying to catch up with the others,

maybe one who was weaker...

or perhaps a loner,

or maybe just someone who has their own way of doing things.

Hum...I think I've been a little bit of all three at some point in my life.

What about you?

What kind of goose would you be?

I prayed I would see a goose close up...

as this has been a somewhat disappointing winter for viewing Canadian geese.

This was really, really close up.

I wonder if he/she was injured?

We did our best not to scare them...

staying in the car and pulling slowly away when we left.

On one side of the road in the flooded marsh area there were ducks;

the other side had the Canadian geese.

Here is a closer view of some of the ducks.

I know one is a Mallard,

does anyone know what kind the brown one is?

Both had beautiful markings,

but I LOVED the brown one!

Our journey also brought us past many farms,

vineyards,

some little towns,

up and down rolling hills,

and to this historical church built a long, long time ago.

It is set on a bit of a hillside and as is often the case,

has a small cemetery by it.

Did I say we passed a lot of camellias in bloom?

Oh, and a lot of flowering trees...

The church's bell tower.

LOOK at that beautiful blue sky:)

And, our journey brought us here...

to the little town of Amity,

where they will hold a special festival this very weekend

in honor of a very special flower...

Daffodils...

amazing, beautiful, sunshiny daffodils.

Definitely one of the things I love about springtime.

Have you had any recent journeys?

 

Blessings,

Aimee

 

Notes:

Amity Daffofil Festival

(including a volkswalk in the beautiful countryside, art and daffodil shows, food)

https://sites.google.com/a/amity.k12.or.us/amity-daffodil-festival/

http://www.ava.org/gen3/data/event_details.asp?eventid=95584

I've never been but it sounds interesting.

Another place I've never been, but want to go someday is the Monastery there...

I do know they have heavenly fudge because I bought some at Oktoberfest one year.

Mmmm, chocolate...

 

Wildlife photos near and at Baskett Slough NWR, Polk county.

If you visit here, you might also consider seeing the arboretum in nearby Dallas.

LOVE that place!

Dallas also has many historical homes if you enjoy Victorian houses;

I LOVE old houses too~

And as long as you're there, you could take the King's Valley Highway,

one of my favorite roads, and see

the Ritner Covered Bridge, near the little town of Pedee,

  Falls City (with a beautiful waterfall and more)--located off the main road

(above link has a photo, part way down the post, of the river above the falls.

I can't find my main falls post right now nor my photos of the arboretum in Dallas for that matter.)

 Harris Covered Bridge near Wren.

 

Historical church in rural Polk county

(my photo collection keeps growing--yippee!)

 

Daffodil field in rural Yamhill county.

St. Patrick's Day 2013

A quick look back at this year's celebration...

On the menu for St. Patrick's Day:

Corned Beef

(I also bought lamb shanks for Irish Lamb Stew later this week.
I love lamb; hubby prefers corned beef--this way both of us are happy!)

Sauteed cabbage

(made like colcannon but without the mashed potatoes)

Champ--wonderful, delicious champ...

an Irish version of mashed potatoes, but better I think.

My northern Irish ancestors most likely ate this...
I could eat it at least once a week.
LOVED it!
 

 Sauteed carrots, onions and scallions...

Irish soda bread (purchased)also made an appearance...
but I forgot to buy yummy Irish butter this year to spread on the bread.
Boo! I missed it:(
 

Sparkling apple cider and a layered dessert

(by that time we were too full to eat any dessert so we ate it the other day).
 

Of course I had to celebrate the occasion,

 with a little reminder of my blessed childhood,

so breakfast for me that day was...

besides I needed that sugar energy for all the cooking I did:)

Blessings,

Aimee

Note:

Found this interesting blog yesterday

Irish American Mom

(lots of recipes here on this blog created by a mom born in Ireland now living in the States.)

 

Here are some other links to Irish dishes:

Colcannon

http://www.wiveswithknives.net/2012/03/13/st-patricks-day-dinner-colcannon/

 

Champ

http://oneperfectbite.blogspot.com/2012/03/champ-scallion-mashed-potatoes-for-st.htm

I served it in individual bowls making a 'well' in the center of the bowl for the lovely yellow butter...

the photo above was taken Monday when I was devouring the leftover champ:)

 

Irish Boxty

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Irish-Boxty/

Next time I make champ, I will try this with the leftovers.

 

Corned Beef

I made mine in the crock pot this year--SO much easier and very, very tender!

 

Dessert

Simple...layered chocolate mousse or pudding, whipped cream, pistachio pudding...

with a bit of chocolate of course:)

 

Sorry--most of the photos of St Patrick's Day are still on my phone so I can't show you the cute leprechaun hats I found for $1...

 

Never Again...Today's Experiment:)

My Farmer Boy loves his hard boiled eggs...

he loves them just as they are,

and he loves them made into sandwiches,

and he loves them made into angel eggs.

So I,

on occasion,

make hard boiled eggs the old fashioned way...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiled_egg

(or using a variation of this method)

UNTIL

TODAY that is!

Now, I can't and won't take credit for this new modern method..

but right now, I am definitely singing a very happy song because Easter eggs

will be a whole lot easier this year:)

Raw eggs awaiting their time in a preheated 325 degree oven

**(my eggs were large in size)

Eggs baking happily in oven while Aimee does other things...

or perhaps it is Aimee doing other things happily while the eggs bake?

30 minutes later I transfered the baked, very hot eggs carefully to a pan

to take a cold shower/bath under the faucet

Aimee didn't have ice to make an ice bath for these lovely babies;

the cold shower/bath worked fine.

 (I occasionally dumped the water in the pan and refilled it with cold water).

**The eggs 'chilled out'...LOL...for about 10 minutes.

Chilled eggs awaiting peeling...

will it work???

Verdict: success!

One dozen creamy, yummy eggs awaiting hungry hubby's tummy.

LOVE, love, love this method!

Sometimes change is good:)

 

Has anyone tried this?

I was really impressed --

no cracked eggs,

no hot steamy water,

lovely, lovely, lovely texture with no green...

NO more boiling eggs for me.

**Some people that have tried this have reported tiny brown spots on the egg. 

I did find one or so on the white...

but it was not a big deal at all and didn't affect the taste:)

 

Now on to my next experiment.

Wonder if I get my love for experimenting from my dad?

 

Blessings,

Aimee

 

Notes:

**updated notes

Repeat, repeat--I DID NOT come up with method.

Here are 2 links to others who have posted about baking 'hard-boiled' eggs...

I love using a muffin tin like the above blogger does.

Almost Spring Garden Walk

St. Patrick's Day was great and I will post some quick photos later.

I prepared a new recipe,

one native to Ireland,

and fell in love with it!

~

Are you counting the hours till spring?

I am SO excited...

since our first day of spring is calling for rainy weather,

I decided to do a walk in our gardens today to celebrate the coming change in seasons

and take some photos--

just in case the weather forecasters are right:)

You're invited to join me...as my honored guests

Blueberry--Earliblue.

The first of our blueberries to ripen each year,

and one of my favorites for eating fresh from the garden!

One of our evergreen huckleberries...beautiful year round.

Wild plum--the first of our fruit trees to bloom each year.

Blossoms on this tree always make me happy because I know good things will follow soon.

Dapne Odora.

Yes, that yummy, delightful fragrance you are smelling is from this beauty!

 Wallflower-bowles mauve.

First of the wildflower/perennial garden blooms.

~

Sometimes our home problems get very discouraging...

but a walk in our gardens,

especially on a sunny, warm day,

is enough to remind me again of the blessings God has given me.

It is hard to not be grateful when one is enjoying a walk in ANY garden on a nice spring day:)

 

More later....

Blessings,

Aimee

sorry some photos are a bit blurry,,,

 

 

A Wee Bit of a Journey

Last year I celebrated an early St. Patrick's Day with a trip to Portland's
Irish Famine Monument and lunch at Kell's with a good friend and one of my sons.

Both places were memorable!

This year, saw me looking for ways to augment our St. Patrick's Day celebration at home.

As you may know, both hubby and I have some Celtic ancestry 

and I find myself identifying with it more than my German and Pilgrim heritage the older I get.

I think this, in part, may have something to do with the fact that it was one of my Celtic lines who came to the Pacific NW over the Oregon Trail so many years ago.

Or maybe it is my love of green (or the fact that we have so much green year round here--LOL).

Or maybe it's because I find something very mysterious and lovely about Celtic music...

especially Celtic Christian music like Eden's Bridge, etc

Ah, who knows? But I really do love my Celtic roots.

Anyway back to our journey...to a little bit of Ireland right in SE Portland

(actually a little bit of all of Great Britain).

I had known about this place for awhile--

since finding their website earlier this year when I was looking for places to purchase tartans.

But what finally brought me here was I wanted to buy a shortbread pan I had fallen in love with,

but didn't have time to have delivered before St. Patrick's Day.

Besides I am always up to exploring new places...

especially when it seems like the whole world is in bloom!

When we got there, they remembered my call and were quick to retrieve the pan

(by the way I absolutely, totally LOVE it!)

I also asked about the tartan scarves

thinking I would have to order them before one of my clan's special days this year.

I was overjoyed to find out they had quite a few in stock,

and soon set to work trying to decide which tartan to choose

(I have several clans in my ancestry so this tooka bit of time)

Do you see any you like?

The one I chose is this one and I LOVE it...

it was also a favorite with both the wonderful lady who helped me

and my best friend who had come with me.

I can hardly wait to wear AND use it at home!

The colors are much prettier than they look in this photo--

it is the hunting tartan of the Macfarlane clan.

After that we set to work choosing chocolate for the hubby man

*a confirmed chocolate lover*.

This costume caught my eye...it looks perfect for this Sunday...

but I think this Celtic lass will just go casual since I am cooking at home

(actually I will be cooking Irish themed meals 2 days in a row).

Loved our trip here...

they have so many nice things to celebrate your Celtic heritage with--

and if you aren't Celtic at all,

well I know they'll make you feel quite at home too.  

(Of course, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day)

And now to the blooms...

as I have said it seems like the whole world is in bloom right now!

In the city we saw blooming trees, camellias, daffodils and magnolias.

And here at home we have in bloom--

forsythia,

one flowering plum tree,

a magnolia,

daffodils

(dwarf and larger varieties),

camellia

(both the sausanqua and japonica--amazing),

a daphne,

lots of dandelions and common daisies,

pieris...

and the evergreen huckleberries are going crazy:)

I LOVE spring, don't you?

Everyday I find myself exploring the gardens and then bringing more spring blooms inside.

Blessings,

Aimee

Notes:

You can find more about the Scottish Country Store here on their very nice website:

http://scottishcountryshop.com/

Very, very nice people there!

All kinds of imported items -- some food, music CDs, books, kilts, etc.

Oh yes...disclaimer here.

I am not associated with the shop at all--just wanting to share with those who may be interested.

Oh---and the cookie above?

The delicious, scrumptious, totally yummy shamrock shortbread cookie above?

Well you can find that here at Baker + Spice,

one of my fav bakeries in the SW Portland area!

Their website is here:

http://www.bakerandspicebakery.com/

(same disclaimer as above)

They carry lots of very yummy items!

A BIG thank you to both of these shops for helping me celebrate my Celtic heritage

and giving me permission to post photos:)

And now--to work

(well after I devour the rest of my shamrock goodie)

Last note:

Sorry about any typos and grammar errors...

Note to self -- posting using your laptop and smartphone

at the same time and in a hurry can lead to very amusing results!

Fortunately things can be undone...LOL:)

 

 

On Meeting My Waterloo (and links to other Linn County posts)

Besides the beauty of the foothills and mountains of this land I love so very much.

Besides its forests, woodlands and wilderness areas.

Besides the best drive in, numerous museums and a whole lot of covered bridges.

Besides its waterfalls and lakes,

well I love it here because of the many rivers and creeks which one finds within its borders....

I just can't get enough of this one...the South Santiam river.

I dream of what it looked like before the dams came.

I dream of how our family lived back then.

How the moods of the river might have affected them...

how they felt when they looked out on its beautiful waters on sunny, warm days such as this one.

I will never know the river such as they did,

in the time before the waters were impounded.

But here and there I catch glimpses of what it might have been like then,

in that simpler time when one was so connected to the land and its rivers and creeks.

A hard life, with less technology and with its share of challenges and losses,

but I think a good life...

And with that I introduce you to Waterloo Falls...

so you can say,

as I now can,

that you have met your 'waterloo'.

 

On this Monday,

I slept a long time

(after watching my dad while my sibling was out of town this weekend)

and then I spent time researching the land and history of our family and their neighbors.

Right now I am watching The Bible on the History Channel with mixed feelings,

but mostly happy with the presentation thus far.

Tomorrow I shall be 'greening' up our place in anticipation of St. Patrick's Day.

What did you do?

 

Blessings,

Aimee

Notes:

 I am intending to catch up on posts I have talked about. I ask patience as sometimes our connection is bad and my hubby has needed the laptop lately for work related education.

And Part Two...

Now this part is going to be painful...

but I promise I will share the pain

(in fact as I prepped the waterfall photos I felt great suffering believe me).

But I promise you a reward

sort of

if you make it all the way to the end.

 

Now by turning left instead of veering right,

then going to the park,

then going straight where he was supposed to turn,

the right and up, up, up...

my DH actually brought me to a place I have wanted to visit for a long, long time...

(but was too afraid to go)

and he did it without ever knowing he was doing so!

So here we were...

I hesitantly stepped near the edge of the first 'waterfall'...

and then thanked God I didn't fall in.

Now it was time for a little hike...

(yes, for those who know where this photo was taken, this is NOT the first thing you see)

Actually this is one of the first things you see...

depending on where you park that is.

Past a sign with a map,

over a bridge,

up a trail,

by the water...

in the forest

you will come to this

(if you are looking for it)

Oh that was painful!

But I am forcing myself to do this to remind me...

of

1) the need to brush up on how to take photos of waterfalls.

2) what an amazing, wonderful, loving hubby I have.

You see Aimee was NOT happy at this hike...

not because it wasn't absolutely gorgeous

(because it was),

but because Aimee has a challenge in her life...

and she was just a whole lot nervous that she couldn't

*shouldn't*

be doing this trail.

But Aimee's DH wouldn't take no for an answer...

 

So on we trudged...well one of us did.

Past happy, happy hikers and their amazing dogs

(we had our amazing dog with us).

And then we saw steps going UP

(and I do mean UP),

but to the left...a bridge.

And that is where we saw this...

and I almost missed it.

And it wasn't till later that day

that Aimee figured it out...

the DH had not allowed Aimee to stop,

turn back

or give up,

because the DH was NOT doing this hike for himself...

he knew this hike was a dream of Aimee's

and he wanted that dream to come true:)

Sigh ...

I married a really, really sweet man.

 

Do you have someone like that in your life?

Maybe a spouse,

a sibling,

a best friend?

Someone who wants you to reach your goals,

your dreams?

 

On to my waterloo

(which was a good, a very good thing).

 

OK enough of me

now it is time for your reward...

and that reward is a link to the site of a GOOD photographer

one who knows what he is doing:)

Blessings,

Aimee

When Meeting My Waterloo Involved a Fall (or Two)...and was a good thing:)

Our most recent trip brought us again to the land I love so very much...

the land our family has roots in.

We ate lunch, grabbed at my favorite drive-in

(the type my hubby and I went to when we were younger)

and ate it by the lake...

in view of the mountains.

Pretty, huh?

The water of the lake was like a mirror in places...

the sky,

well you can see for yourself:)

And then my plans got changed

(well actually they changed a bit before this too)...

and I have my hubby to thank for the change!

The change involved a turn to the left...

and brought us to a park...

by a river

where we could see some very, very special rock outcroppings.

And then a missed turn

(missed on purpose)

and a turn to the right

which led us up,

and up,

and up.

 

Where silence reigned supreme,

the views

(well you can see for yourself)

and...

I wished I had put some family history on my smartphone.

 

Can you believe this weather?

Couldn't have asked for a better day.

 

 In addition to not having family history on my smartphone...

I didn't have my zoom either.

Guess that is pretty evident:)

 

And then we went by a camp...

a camp which held awesome memories for me...

because it was there I heard a wonderful, incredible, beautiful woman speak once...

so many years ago now.

Perhaps you have heard of

Elisabeth Elliott.

She inspires me!

I count hearing her in person as one of the BIG blessings of my life,

along with hearing Corrie ten Boom.

 

In this day and age

(actually in every day and age)

we need women inspiring other women to be everything God created them to be.

 

Well back to the trip

and the falls...

 

Blessings,

Aimee

 

What did you do today?

For my fellow PNW friends and visitors,

did you LOVE the weather today as much as I?

Felt like spring

and can you believe it,

we are just a few hours from springing forward!
