Two weeks ago, Lee lost his job due to lack of work. They said, “We’ll call you back in a few weeks if we have more work.”
We haven’t heard a word yet.
Lee doesn’t qualify for unemployment, because he hadn’t earned enough in previous quarters.
So many times, over the past days, I’ve prayed, “Oh, Lord, what [...]
I am thankful for so many things. I try to practice gratitude on a daily basis.
Counting our blessings and thanking God for all things big or “small” keeps our minds focused on Him rather than our circumstances. Believe me–watching our circumstances is not a good thing.
One thing for which I’m incredibly grateful for this year [...]
We had some more blessings that I wanted to share before Monday!
1. I got a piano student out of the blue. She started yesterday. I may have a couple more starting soon too.
2. The plant manager at Lee’s job handed him his paycheck yesterday and said, “You’re doing a great job. We’re giving you a [...]
Yesterday was Lee’s first day at his “official” job–welding.
I prayed that his boss would be nice and that his co-workers would be easy to get along with. Also that Lee would be able to keep up and get adjusted easily.
When I spoke with him yesterday, he said the boss really liked him and said, “You’re [...]
God’s provision has been so amazing to us for all this time. I am so thankful for each and every person who ever prayed, gave, or shared in any way.
I know that the only reason we’ve made it through this is because of God’s wonderful love and provision.
As you know I sell on Etsy and [...]
Any blessing this week?
Each of us receives blessings daily if only we look for them and acknowledge God as the giver.
Health, ability to move, family, friends, pretty things to enjoy,…the list goes on.
Even in very difficult situations, we can find something to thank God for. Doing so changes our hearts and minds and removes some [...]
Here are some more blessings God sent our way this week.
1. My friend Joy took James and I out to eat when she visited last weekend.
2. Lee needed a new tire to replace a very bad tire on his car. He asked his father if he had any tires laying around. My father [...]
When my family was all here, (boo hoo by the way! I miss them all.) we were discussing our jobs.
I think my dear brother was emphasizing his job as the most important. He does have a great job and takes providing for his wife quite seriously!
He outlined what each of us did and the time [...]
Yesterday, James and I planted the garden. We just have a small space so it didn’t take too long.
We planted lettuce, onions, green beans, and a tomato as well as basil and mint in a different area.
We also have an accidental pumpkin. I found it rotting in the leaves and sprouting so I planted it [...]
Lately the Lord has been working in my heart to find more ways to give.
Because I’m the only one making any income around here, often my mind swarms with ways to make money. Or I’m working on online listings or finding things to sell. It can get rather overwhelming.
If I’m not thinking about or working [...]
