Blessed Sunday......



This was what I had planned to start yesterday but  a good book got in the way.  So today I am writing the post I hope to continue every Sunday. 

So many times I get stuck in the what is wrong with my life way of thinking and as the Bible says we are to focus on what is true and what is lovely.....I know I paraphrased and didn't supply the scripture...but it is in there :)  This weekly post is to focus on what is blessed in my life.  I am doing this every day in my journal but I doubt you would be interested in a daily entry on the Krabel family (however, we are quite entertaining!).

 Most importantly, I am blessed with an amazing husband.  I am loved unconditionally, Praise the Lord.  It is probably hard to believe, but I have A LOT of flaws!! We have been together for 14 years now, married for 13 1/2, and I don't know what I would have done without him.  He has been there through the loss of  two grandmothers, the loss of my mom and her battle with cancer, the unexpected death of my dad, the loss of my brother and his battle with cancer, as well as all the emotions that come with those.  He has dealt with lots of my hormone roller coasters due to being a woman and being pregnant  a lot those first years of marriage! He is a great Dad!! and although I know he would have enjoyed a son, he would not trade a single one of his girls to have one.  Consequently, my girls have bailed hay, buried a dead cow, watched the birth of a calf, bottle feed some baby calves, and a host of other things that being part of a farm family has brought.  Madi especially loves the sale barn and spending the day working with her Dad.   

 Yes friends,  I am blessed.  Thank you Jesus for seeing what I needed and giving me what I wanted....a wonderful husband..... I love you Doug!!!

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

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...

On the Books for January 5, 2015

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week...   Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow.  Nothing too intimidating...yet.   I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today.  I do not usually like salad so this is a little  weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half.  I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house.   I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend.  So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs.   I am going... To Walmart on lunch.  Yep, back to normal this week.  I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :)  I am reading.... Just my devotional this week.  I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
