Thankful Thursday



Well now here it is 5 p.m.
The timers set to go off in a moment for Archer to be finished with her reading...
She changed books! I am so glad of it. I was not pleased with what she was reading and she read enough of it I guess to agree. I am thankful for my husbands leadership.

Supper is in the oven and it will be ready to pull out around the time he gets home.
Stamina...what a wonderful gift.
The meat loaf sounds pretty good too.
We have a meal to look forward too...how wonderful.

It has been a 5 line day...how wonderful it is to have a five line clothes line. The strength to hang it all and put it all away. My bones were tired today very much so and yet I am made able to do the things around here that are needful. Laundry has been set on hold to get the crops in the earth.

Paperwork day...Being able to read...how often we might think this a small thing. I heard of a father who read to his children every night...the same book. One night the Mother read the story in his absence..."the children declared that is not the story as Dad reads it mom"!
Dad was telling a story via the illistration....they all discovered that he could not read.
Oh so much paper work today stacks of it!
It is now managed and doable. yet many forms to fill out...
the life of mother with a special needs kids.

Now while taking the image I became profoundly greatful for humor...

Dash "fell of a cliff and he is dead"

I found such beauty in my little boy.
Covered in dirt...trying not to show that he is alive.

The children playing in the garden leave me a bit out of ease.
I am thankful for trust...that they want to play in the garden...
It is an imaginary jungle fraught with adventure and suspense...
Oh please Lord watch over the garden
:)
the children are in it.

Oh it is good to trust in the Lord...
so the children can be children

As always you blow my mind with your simplicity and complexity.

Girl, the garden is my prayer too.

I sure am looking forward to hugging your neck.

See you Thursday. Hugs, Lynn

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
