BLESSING AFTER BLESSING

I had some high blood sugars and I really have not felt very good this week. Yesterday afternoon I had a big surprise knock on my front door. It was my DEAR friend Miss Linda. Ladies I have to tell you that almost every time I feel discouraged the sweet Miss Linda comes to my aid. It's almost like she knows when to come even when I have not told her what is on my heart. When Miss Linda walked in my house with these beautiful mums I felt so loved I can't even explain how special that was to me. Thank You Miss Linda for the wonderful flowers and thank you Lord for sending me extra special friends to love on me. Linda and God your the best.

You Won't Believe It

I can't believe it myself. Our family received a extra blessing this week. Last night as my husband was going over our phone bill he asked me if I was aware of a $14.95 charge for an e-mail service. I told him that we have e-mail through our Internet provider and that there should not be any reason that we should be charged extra money. He asked me to call the company and find out why we were being charged every month. After calling I found out that we had been scamed. We were paying $14.95 for 10 months and my husband had not realized it. In the next seven to ten business days we will be receiving a $160.00 refund on our phone. The total refund is $16.07 a month for 10 months. This is a club that we did not join that gives a discount on on-line shopping. We don't even shop on-line. THANK YOU LORD for the extra blessing this week. We are thankful for a faithful God who is SO SO SO faithful to us.

What's For Dinner????????

I have a funny story that took place three weeks after our wedding. My husband called home and asked "What's for Dinner?" I then so proudly informed him GOULASH. He then said he was not coming home. Can you imagine my shock with my new husband? In my house growing up goulash was elbow macaroni and hamburger and tomatoes with ketsup. Yummy Well in his house growing up goulash was always on Friday night and it was ALL the leftovers in the fridge from the week. His mom would add it all together throw cheese on the top of it and bake it. YUCK I soon learned that if I did that he wasn't coming home. (I have never done that). Well tonight's dinner is going to be interesting. We are having FRIDGE Surprise I don't plan on putting any together but I will say everyone in the house will eat a different leftover and I pray me family will be thankful. If you don't hear from me in a couple of days please send a search party. Bone Appetite

Glad I Did/ My Best Decision

This afternoon as I was reading the blogs of my friends the question was asked "What was the best decision you ever made?" So I thought I would ponder a few answers to share with you.

I am VERY VERY VERY Blessed because

1. I made the decision to accept Christ as my personal Savior at the tender age of four. I am blessed because I had parents that loved me enough to show me the things of God very young.

2. I made a decision to marry a man that was, and is, following the things of the Lord in all he does. I am very blessed to have a husband that loves me unconditionally and supports his family and is listening to the things of the Lord on a daily basis.

3.I made a decision to follow my husband to the best church in the World. I am blessed to be a active member of a Bible Believing church. I am blessed to have the best Pastor and his wife as our leaders. I am blessed to be a part of the Grace Baptist Church and to know Pastor and Miss Julie (we love them very much).

4. I made a decision (with my husband) to expand our family and adopt our beautiful baby girl. I am blessed to be the mother of two beautiful children. I am blessed to have the chance to home school and to train my children Biblically.

There are a lot of decisions that I have made that are not good over the years. But I know the above decision have made me a very blessed lady. I know that the Lord loves me and my family. I know that the Lord loves you. Count your Blessings, name them one by one. It will surprise you what the Lord has done. As you make decisions seek the Lord in all you do and follow your husband. Most of the time the Lord will give your husband the answer and then make the right decision. That is what I strive to do daily. May God Bless each and every one of you just like he has me. Thank You Lord.

New Ideas

Because thing get very busy and life OFTEN gets in the way of blogging. Some of the blogs that I enjoy are on vacation so I went exploring and I found a group of Christian ladies (blogs) and I have enjoyed reading them from time to time. Most of them talk about cleaning and cooking. A few of them home school and ALL of them stay home and take care of their families. I'm not saying that I agree with every thing that all of them say. I very rarely comment on any of them. But I have enjoyed looking at other peoples cleaning routines, and modest clothes I was not aware of, and opinions on strong willed children or home school ideas. So if anyone is interested I added Keeper at Home (Sharon )to my links of the blogs that I read. And she has a long list of very good blogs about "practical Household ideas" that I have enjoyed reading. ENJOY

Extra Fun on Family Night

Tonight was a extra special family night. My husband and I promised our son that when he passed all of his songs in his piano book that we would take him miniature golfing. Tonight was "The Night" and as an extra special treat we "kidnapped" Josh, James and Jenna. We all had so much fun. It was a great evening. Jenna won a free game in the ball return and the added children made the evening extra fun. I thank the Lord for my family and I thank the Lord for good friends that allow us to spend quality time with their kids as well. Thanks Bill and Gina for the loan (the kids). I just loved it because blessed is the man whose quiver is full.

Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my Mom's birthday. I want to wish her a very Happy Birthday. I'm thankful that she lives close enough to see our family a least once a week. She is a loving grandmother and works hard at keeping her family busy. My mom has had many good things happen in her life as well as a few heartaches. Mom always does anything that she can to help her family when they have a need. I believe that my mom is saved. I pray for my mom every day and I have taught my children to pray for her daily as well. Today as we think about another year passing us buy. I pray that my mom will have a good day and she will feel honored by me and my family. Happy Birthday Sharon Brown. Sam, Kris , Quin and Paige love you very much. I hope you had a extra special day as you celebrate your birthday . We look forward to celebrating with you on Sunday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM
