Thankful Thursday


A Problem with my Mammogram... it was as I thought, a benign cyst.
It measured 2+ by 1 inch. I may need to have it aspirated. It was, last year, 4 smaller cysts and they all merged. Now it is my hope that I can just stay home a while. I have to go to consult about changing my medications.s however. I have gained a tremendous amount of weight (20 pounds in a couple of months) on this drug and I just cant afford it on my knee. I do hope I have no withdrawal to go through.

I went and got snacks for the children and had them all unload the truck when I got home. Wow talk about great incentive! :) I have an extra kid today. I will have on Thursday's to help out a single Mom. So blogging has fallen off due to other things pulling on me. This is a child who feels at home. Mother of many...I am.

I had two new squash blossoms in the garden this morning and I told Dash we should look into getting a garden snake. We have a lot of crickets. I have witnessed a few other insects and the lizard population is growing. We need these good insects to pollinate. Dash said " Mom , I just love nature it is so beautiful to watch"... I have succeeded in opening his eyes to it YA!

Kids are watching Nim's Island, a movie about adventure and fiction verses reality and courage overcomes timidity. Good Movie.They are happy peaceful. Full tummies. Soon to do the homework. How rich they are to be here in America, here in this home with a Mother attending to them.

I resisted temptation to over eat sweets today twice., It may not sound like much , but for me this was a huge start. ..."so you want to change ...Do you really want to change?" Asked HE ...softly tenderly. I left the store purchasing nothing. I passed up the Taco Bell and drove to the store for healthy snacks and lunch. I ate a healthy late lunch and a healthy smack.

I heard a scripture that said that God sings songs over us. It really touched my heart because many times it will be a lyric of a song that will give me the need strength or comfort for the moment. Gave me pause thinking about it. Makes me want to sing right back to him...

Did I ever tell you your my hero?
Everything I wish I could be...
I could fly higher than an eagle...
Because you (God) are the wind beneath my wings.
Everything to me.

I looked up a verse after I read one you had here. Deut. 33:12 NIV
“Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in him,for he shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders.” That is my new fav.

I dropped you another e-mail...but thought it might have gone in your junk mail (I am truly not trying to pester you...but am worried about Denise) I will leave for lunch at 12 CST (not sure what your timezone is) and I will e-mail you my cell. I leave it in the truck when I am in the office. since they have become more strict about personal calls. (Law firm--many secretaries...new rules--all good)

Zep 3:17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee [is] mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.


LISTEN !!!!! Can you hear HIM?

Oh my gosh what a God we serve HE is the creator of all things !!!! and HE sings OVER US........ Home with God will be so sweet!

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
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
