New day New Year full of wonderful times.


We loaded the bikes up and after and trip
to Jaye's we were off for a long bike ride.
We went way north and then road to the Town Lake.
Just as we made it to an In-n-Out burger shop and decided to finish up this long week off with a burger. Beloved looked down to discover a tire going flat fast.
I stayed with the kids and fed them and played games (rock/paper/scissors) with them while he rode my bike the 3-5 miles back to the truck.
When he returned I went in to get him some supper while he loaded the bikes back onto the truck. As I drove home (so he could have his meal) He told me that he had a bad head wind the entire way back to the truck so bad that he had to peddle hard even on the down hills. That was mercy for me, my knee could not have taken it. God took care of me again. I had a wonderful time with my family. We road two a breast for some part of the trail. It was so fun!

We parked these at the curb with a for free sign on them.
They were very well worn.

I was able to get the breakfast cookies made (and bagged for the freezer) for Beloved while he stripped the big bed and threw the linens into the washer. We are going to turn the mattress and go to bed with clean sheets.

I was then able this evening to finish the coat for Dove.
SHE LOVED IT! :)

I had this patch that my sister embroidered on the machine.
( I need to learn how to use my machine, it will make these)

I sewed it on her coat.
Oh!, she is so happy and offered "I will care of it you can be sure Mom! I will ware it to school and out to dinner and where ever we go Mom!"


I have a garage full of Christmas stuff to pack away properly.

Beloved and I stocked the outside refrigerator for the Men Group (class) here tomorrow night. I will have a full house. I have the refrigerator for fellowship and guests and they can just make them selfs at home. The main house fridge stays closed (it had the perishable foods in it)

Tomorrow!

Story time is in process right now.
The children will have the last day home.

They have had a nice time together. They are best friends.
That is one of my greatest desires for my children.

Once you figure out the embroidery function of your sewing machine, you'll get totally addicted. I started embroidering everything I could get my hands on! LOL!

The coat is so good.

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"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
