So, what sort of blessings are you thankful for this week? I’m thankful for our warm home. What a blessing our new furnace has been for us this winter! It’s been very cold here, and I’m thankful for blankets and slippers, and warm clothes and a home to hunker down in! I’m thankful for my [...]
The links are a little sparse this week although I don’t know why. I guess I didn’t see much that made me excited. Here’s a cute homemade cash envelope system. Just Stop It! The video is hilarious but I like her thoughts afterward. I discovered you can see the Weight Watchers community boards even if [...]
This is a “bad” photo, but it’s our little kitty Mystery. She joins in school by laying on the printer–goofy cat! This week we finished 2 books. The Landing of the Pilgrims & The Princess and the Goblin. I always love finishing a book! James really liked The Princess and the Goblin and would often [...]
The other night at choir practice–my little part time job–a middle school student listed her stresses for us. The director said, “Man, don’t even start. I have the most stress of anyone in this room. Well, I don’t know about Lizzie’s stress.” I just smiled. Stress? Yeah, I have a little.
When I spoke with Lee tonight, he said he ran into a couple of his nephews today. He was talking about what’s going on in our life right now. He said they all went to a friend’s house and sat down and his nephews prayed for him. I found that incredibly encouraging and heartwarming. What [...]
Will anyone volunteer to be my accountability partner? I’ve started my “healthy eating plan” and it’s way past due! Something must be done and I have to start somewhere so today was the day. I’m doing my old Weight Watchers program. I have all the materials and started with the points system today. Tuesday is [...]
Is anyone out there counting blessings today? 1. I’m thankful for my family and my home. After thinking about all the Haiti things, I think that I have so very much to be thankful for. 2. Lee and I spent Saturday afternoon together. Actually, we curled up on the couch and zonked out together. At [...]
Last week, I was running off to see my new nephew and I didn’t post this feature. Barbara shares Scriptural reasons for suffering. Watch a baby beluga being born at Shedd Aquarium. Then of course you have to listen to Raffi singing Baby Beluga. We used to LOVE listening to Raffi. Pretty bookmarks craft idea [...]
“When I die I hope it’s unscheduled.” I think he meant that he wouldn’t be sick and have to think about “6 months to live”. I hope mine is unscheduled too! Which reminds me of a silly plaque I saw one time (and I pray that it doesn’t offend anyone;0! ) “When I die, I [...]
I’ve waited to post this for years. The event that triggered my thoughts about it happened at least 4 years ago. I’ve thought about posting it many times and never quite knew how to pull it together. Tonight, I just decided to write it and share from my heart. Several years ago, I heard about [...]
