Blessed Sunday

 
2 Kings 19:29  And this shall be the sign for you:  this year eat what grows of itself, and in the second year what springs of the same.  Then in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. 
 
A Joyful Heart is Good Medicine
 
Yucky day.  It started it with the typical "Spring Forward" shuffle.  Everyone acting like one hour makes getting ready impossible.  Left for church when it was actually starting (we live 15 minutes away).  By the time we got there (with scowls on our face) we would have missed 1/4 of the service, so we decided to go out to breakfast and church with our family in Charleston.  After breakfast, I felt sick.  Great.  So home we went. 
 
Ok, here is the blessed part.  When this momma is sick, my girls hang with me the whole time.  I came home, put on my pajamas and crawled into bed with my four baby girls for the rest of the afternoon and watched movies.  They make me feel so loved and cared for. 
 
Why is it that we forget that these little things make life worth living.  Families are our comfort in a crazy world.  The behaviors we teach are the behaviors we receive.  When my gals are sick, I always cuddle in beside them for the day.  Well, if I am able to be the one at home that day with them. It is what my Momma always did for me.  I have watched Katie do this same thing when both her grandmas were sick.  It is just natural for her.  It is comforting to know someone is snuggled in beside you, just because they love you. 
 
I am blessed to have this family of mine.  I wish that for all of you.  Have a blessed Sunday and a wonderful week dear friends :)

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 ...
