Blessed Sunday

 
I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with Thanksgiving.~ Psalm 69:30
 
This past month, Facebook was alive with the daily posts of thankfulness.  I must admit, it got harder as the month went on and I finally gave up for the most part.  It wasn't that I didn't have enough to be thankful for, but the little things seemed frivolous when I would write them. 
 
I try to thank God every day for what he has blessed me with.  I know he knows my heart and I feel confident in knowing he knows that I am very thankful for him and all I have.  I am also very thankful to live in a country where I can openly worship my God.  I do not take this for granted.  Freedom of religion is a liberty that our founding fathers were adamant in pursuing and maintaining. 
 
For those of us who are Christians, we are called to not be lukewarm.  When we stand in judgement, we do not want Jesus to say "I never knew you".  It is ok to be a "Jesus Freak", a "Bible Thumper", a "Christian". 
 
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might ~ Deuteronomy 6:5
 
Have a Blessed Sunday dear friends.

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
