Past, Present, and Future....Good Friday

 
 
Past- This past few weeks has been CRAZY busy between home and work responsibilities.  Three of the gals were in the high school musical.  K was the lead!! I was so proud of all of them and the cast was amazing.  It was one of the best musicals I have seen.  Ok, I know I am slanted in my view :)  K was also recognized this week at a luncheon for Seniors who show an upstanding ability to blend academics and extracurriculars and maintain good grades.  That one makes me so proud I cry whenever I mention it...   Work has been filled with appointments, trainings, and meetings.  The weather has been crazy.  Friday and Saturday last week was so warm, Monday it snowed.  Yesterday was warm again.  I yi yi, I never know how to dress for Spring.  I am loving the warm temps though, even if they are not every day yet.  I lost a new plant due to frost.  I forgot to bring it in.  Poor little plant.  I was glad it didn't have  a name yet.  Yep, I name my plants.  Weirdo. 
 
 
Present....  Today is Good Friday.  I am off work not because of the holiday but because of the Festival of the Young Child tomorrow that I have to work at.  I rarely work on Good Friday because I take vacation that day.  I am almost offended that it is not observed at my employment anymore.  Sad really.  Jesus gave his life for all of our sins and we as a nation go on with our daily lives without even thinking about that sacrifice.  We do it everyday not just Good Friday.    I am so thankful and humbled by the fact that Jesus took my sin, wore it, and died for it.  I would not have the qualifications for my eternal destination without it.  Heaven would not be in the cards for this sinner without it.  Yes, sinner.  I sin everyday.  I sin differently than others and the same as many.  But sin is sin.  Thank you sweet Jesus for bearing that sin.  Thank you sweet Jesus for the torturous death you endured for me.  Thank you sweet Jesus for  your example on this Earth that a sinless life can be led, but for your sacrifice on the cross because I am too human to lead the same blameless life  as you did. 
 
 
Future....Work at the Festival tomorrow.  Family dinners and Egg Hunts on Saturday and Sunday. Girls are going to the Bunny Breakfast at the school.  Worshiping our Lord and Savior on Sunday morning, feel free to join us!   And a stress test on Monday.  Please pray for that.  I am super nervous.  I have been having some symptoms and they are ruling out the big things.  They feel it is just stress.  I have started making some changes to lead a healthier life style.  It is letting go and letting God that is the hardest for me to be quite truthful.  So prayers are appreciated. 
 
So that is a little bit of what is going on around here.  Have a Wonderful Good Friday, an Amazing Easter, and a Blessed 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...

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...

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...
