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 :)

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!! 

Winter Items I Can't Live Without

  If you have read my blog, like ever, you know winter and I have kind of a tolerate, bordering on really dislike, each other kind of relationship.  If I could have snow without ice and in 50 degree weather, life would be fine for those 4-5 months.  I don't really dislike snow.  But I can't handle being cold.  At All!!   Ok, Rant over, for today, maybe, until it is brought up again....   What can I not live without?   A Warm Coat...my favorite coat is my black puffer coat.  It was super cheap from Sam's eleven (yes, eleven) years ago.  It is the warmest coat ever and luckily has never went out of style.  The zipper is being a little iffy this year and I just might cry if I talk about it too long.  This coat washes and drys so well and does not look like it has been a winter staple for eleven years.  I also have a North Face that I love but if it is below 20, the black coat wins hands down, every time. ...
