***Happy November***


Yesterday the kids got into way too much mischief.
After some time I realized in my pain induced stupor that I needed to give them some direction.
This after the girls decided to help remove the wallpaper boarder with a NAIL FILE!
Can you see gauged walls, arg!
Then there was the chalk on the freshly painted yard walls...
Three scrub brushes later it was the child on the arm of a chair caught just at the moment she would of just broke her neck.
Instead she broke the frame to Dashes baby picture.
At that point I ask her if she would like me to call her Grandpa to come and get her or if she really wanted to wait until mid afternoon for her mother.
It was all three of them don't get me wrong it was just getting too much.
I was able to glue the frame the wall...well that will be another story.
I think it was alot of my own error for not keeping them better directed.
 
 Dove made the most beautiful star
 
 Dash's work.

Speaking of work.
Look what my sweet lovin' man did for me.
Leave a man to your garden for a weekend and they will not put up with the inconveniences.

Now no longer will I have to either,
YA!
 I designed the garden along side the main water line.
He tapped into it and designed a raised spicket for me.
No more hose dragging or back bending knee stooping pain!

 
 He even made one point to the other side for ease.
 
 He is so happy for me.
He is so loving to me.
I adore this friend a lover of my soul.
 
 
We had our family movie and lights off movie
Not one single doorknocker.
We did have to listen all night to the house across the way with a chain saw massacre theme
I love that this month is over.
I have not gone out to see if there is any damage yet.

I think November 1st has always been
the day it is over!
Now I can decorate for fall.
Now I can breath.
Now the images fade.
Now the month of Thankfulness begins in my nation, my community.
Now the stores will celebrate a worthwhile cause.
Now it is fall.

Happy Fall
Ya!
Now I celebrate!

I first want to tell you... "I love you!" and I had to kind of smirk when I read what your babes did to the wall paper, reminds me once of when my Amanda & Johnanthon decided to clean not 1 but ALL of the mirrors in the house with toothpast, they thought it was like a paste wax to shine them up, they where trying to help mom out, and I love the crafts, so very pretty. You can use anything on my blog that you want, knowing I can bring as much comfort to you as you bring to me, makes my heart happy, these last few days have been better, but today is a little different, I guess because I know tomorrow will be the final day, and I'm not wanting it too be. I almost called my brothers phone just so I could hear his voice one more time, and maybe I still might?! So, please take that Anne Frank message, it would make me happy..
I so love you~
Annette
p.s.
Please give your babes a hug for me, a hug from a child is just so comforting

Donetta,

I just am so encouraged with every visit. So glad the Lord allowed me the honor of meeting you at the Retreat so that I'd then get to your blog.

Loved everything I read. I actually read the top post first re: love letter to your hubby. Beautiful!!!

Then I read the post above. Your kids are darling! Your hubby fixing the garden area for you is just so sweet!

I can relate as I have been blessed with an awesome, loving, giving and kind hubby whom the LORD used to touch those tender areas in me that were badly damaged from being abused in my childhood. The LORD brings the healing and He has blessed many of us with some awesome hubby's to love on us too.

I am praying for you dear sister in Christ. I hope you will consider me a friend. That is my prayer that you will know I am praying for your family.

Much more I wanted to share about your post but my message is too long already (smile). So love and blessings.

Oh and I SO agree about Nov 1st being the day that "it's all over". I know I did not experience the horrific things you did but I do know that Oct is a month I've NEVER liked. It's not only a reminder of evil to me but it's also the birthday month of the person who molesting me during my childhood and also the birthday month of the person who never believed me when I turned to her.

Very difficult at times but GOD has done a great work of healing in me but still my heart is tender. I'm sure yours is too dear sister. I'm praying for you.

Love you girl!

Happy November sweetie.

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
