Thankful Thursday



This is a wonderful morning with my children. We are all a bit under the whether with colds, yet we are together. This has been a slow easy morning. I have been visiting with them sorting colors for them and lout lining Coves dog for her.Dove told me I am a good Mother. It was sweet. I asked her what she thought made me a good Mom. she said"because your helpful and kind and sweet". Wow that is really something to be thankful about. To see myself thought of that way by her. She said that" everybody thought so at school". It really felt warm.
We spoke about character and truth and a little about sex and good choices. We spokd a bit about peer pressure. At this age they are so exposed already. They spoke about teasing not being fun and other ways to set boundaries with kids and anyone teasing them.
I am over joyed with the gratitude of all goodness that I am able to spend such slow moments with them.
I am thankful for the opportunity to do CRS and the coverage we have had up to this point. I know even though we may lose the same % we have enjoyed it will turn out alright. I am most thankful to now hear my Beloved having this tone as well. He is expressing that same peace and trust in Gods provision. I really love that example of strength. It is wonderful how he is strong when I am weak and visa-vera. What is most wonderful is that we are both in this place of GOD is our strength and we are weak/strong in Him. That is so cool. Hard won place to rest.
I am so grateful that I got medical appointments at 3:15.3:30 and 4pm. So as soon as I get back from the city and the tree appointment there ( finance, speech therapy and doctor review check up all for Dash) I will get back to this side of town and do three more appointments. God is so good to me to have a nice morning of rest.
I am going to go have a hot shower. I am so fortunate to have HOT WATER.
I know that my sinus and ear will heal in time and that my Son will be alright and that My Daughter will recover her cold. How wonderful to have this sweet assurance this sweet optimistic outlook.

Your children are so special, big hugs to them from me.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
