One More Day

Got one more day  then a three day weekend!  Although this week has not been bad.  The most children I have had this week is 8.  I only had 6 today.  I pray enrollment picks up quickly after the holidays.  I need my job and I have to have kids to have a job.

I am droopy tonight.  I have been laying around since work. Even Ms. Stone asked me if I was ok today??  I am going to try to talk myself into working on Paula's quilt top for a little while.  I have all the blocks made, laid out and then stacked.  I sure hope the combination looks good when sewn together.  One of the hardest parts for me is trying to figure out which block to put where on a multi-colored scrap quilt.

Please pray with me that Jessie will be able to fix my car, reasonably and soon.  He said the timing cover leak was a lot of work but that it shouldn't cost a lot to fix it??  The quote I had was $425.  Too steep for me so I need this to work out.

God is good.  Looking forward to the new years singing.  Glenda, I wish you and Perry could be there.  It would be so nice for all of us sisters to be in service to welcome the new year.  Bethany already told me she was NOT going.  I'm not going to try to take the boys.  It would be too hard on them and me.  I hope all the sick folk are recovered soon so they can sing.  I really do enjoy anointed singing. 

Glenda I hope you are doing ok.

I pray everyone rests good tonight and have a blessed day tomorrow.

In Him

For in Him we live, and move and have our being.....  Acts 17:28

Thank You, Father, for without You there would be nothing, we would be nothing.  But in YOU!!! we can be.  You are our life source!  Thank You! 

Christmas Night

The day went well for me but poor little Jaxon was sick.  He threw up 3 times today.  Bethany came over soon after the boys got here.  Jordan and Bethany opened presents.  I had wrapped the few little things I got the kids together hoping that Jaxon would help or at least watch Jordan open the gifts but alas he was not interested.  He finally got this close.  I thought he was just tired but I guess he was sick, too.

Sorry Grandma.  This is as close as I get.

Finally, all three in the same place. Bethany put ribbon on Jaxon.

Bethany left around 6 pm and I took the boys home shortly after that.

Thanks, Norma, for the dressing and dumplings.  It was delicious.  I haven't eaten any cake yet as the bunches of cookies left no room but am looking forward to that tomorrow.  I really enjoyed our visit today.  Thanks for coming by.

Merry Christmas and may God bless you with sweet rest tonight.

December 25

Merry Christmas  wishing everyone a beautiful day!

My boys will be over soon and I hope we have a fun day.  Bethany said she would be over.  I hope she don't wait too late.  I wanted her to be here when they open their gifts and they wrapped a gift for her.

God bless you all!

My Baby Christmas Tree

My boys came to see me today.  I picked them up early since I did not have to work.  Before I picked them up I set up my baby tree and wrapped my few gifts so it would look like Christmas.

Love this shoe Grandma!

I like the ribbon!

No Grandma not a boot.  Santa's shoe.

Oops!  It don't fit.

New twist on boxed seats.  Front row for Sally's Birthday Party.

Sorry about the red eyes but I'm no good at editing.

Bethany went with me to get the boys and stayed awhile.   The boys and I took pics and played after she left.  I had a good day.

I pray for my 3 sisters to soon be well.  All seems to be feeling poorly.  Bethany said she was afraid she was getting a kidney infection and my breathing is still being bad. 

God is good!

Excited and Thankful

The weatherization program finished up with everything except the solar screens that will be installed after they have been ordered.
I am so thankful.  I am so excited about my new refrigerator.  I am 52 and this is my first new refrigerator!!!  I love it.  I am also excited about my new heater.  I always have so much trouble with my breathing using the dearborn space heater but my new one is vented outside and should not bother my breathing at all.
I am thankful for all they did. Praise God for His provision.

Glenda, I hope you are doing okay.  Still praying for the pain to go and a quick recovery.  I enjoyed the Christmas party so much and was glad y'all were there.  Hope Perry likes the pillows.

Speaking health and peace to all.

Rejoice in the Lord always!!!!

Weather Proof

The weatherization people are working on my house.  I have no idea what anyone is doing.  There are about 5 men (I think) going hither and yon doing their own thing.  I am just sitting here trying to stay out of the way and not be too embarrased about my awful rugs, clutter and dust.
I guess God is giving me a BIG Christmas present.  I praise the Lord for finding out about this program and being accepted.  They have brought me a new refrigerator that I have not as yet seen.  I intend to love it.  They put in a new heater yesterday and are doing all kinds of things today.  I took off work because Norma had to go to Dallas to the Dr.  I pray all is well with her appointment.
Just kinda rattling.  As I said I feel weird just sitting here while men swarm all over but I wasn't to stay out of the way.  Guess I'll go back to crocheting.  May go find a jacket as well.  The door is open and it is a bit chilly.  Hope everyone is having a good day.

Take Back

What comes to my mind tonight is the words.  Take back what he stold from me. The devil has sought to destroy us.  The physical body.  If he can keep us so low physically it is hard to stand.  He wears us down little by little. 
But God is bigger than he. 
God is able to make us strong against Satan and his wiles.  Speak to the mountain.  Tell it to move.  The devil is a liar and we ARE ABLE ( It is the Christ in us that makes us able) to take the land.
Not only our health but all that Satan has taken.  Our health, strength, peace, home, children, grand children, finances.  Whatever!  We have promises from God about our family and all that concerns us.  He is in control and we need to tell the devil to back off and let go!  Stand therefore and see the salvation of the Lord.  I am expecting in this coming year to see miracles from the almighty God.

God is good.  Praise Him going in and praise Him coming out.  AND SEE!

Praise Him

Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord make haste to help me.  Ps. 40:13
Why art thou cast down O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.  Ps. 42:11
.....For the joy of the Lord is my strength. Ne. 8:10

Pray

Jordan has another ear infection.  My poor boys.  One or the other is sick most all the time.
I took Jaxon to Sunday School.  He went to sleep right after church and slept until Sharon picked him up after she too Jordan to the dr.
Glenda, She said Jordan loves the view master.
Trying to get a little laundry done before work tomorrow.
I will have a short work week as I will be off Thursday and Friday. Yes!
Sunday School was good.  I was excited for David to have graduated from college.  Go David!
Don't have much to say.  I think I am going to sew on Paula's quilt top.  Don't think my legs are up to cutting out Gina's dress.

Pray all is well with you!

Christmas Fun

Had a great time at the Christmas Party at Jennifer and Dave's house.  They are the perfect hosts.  Wonderful  food  and a fun filled day of games and visitation.  I really enjoyed myself.
Got some really neat game prizes.  Glenda and Jennifer pick out nice game prizes. 

May God watch over all the travelers and keep them safe on their journey.   Praying God's blessings on all who was there.  Hope  you have a good night. I love you guys.

Whew

I was ready for this day to be over.  Everything has went just fine but I am absolutely BEAT!.  Keep me in your prayers.  I have hardly no breath almost to the point of dizzy and I feel strange in my chest. Also  my legs hurt bad.

The boys and I had a good visit tonight.  They seemed to be in a good mood.  We watched Wee Sing Christmas.  My boys both love to watch TV and they especially like music TV.

I was trying to bring to mind a Scripture to print tonight but my mind is so scattered and clouded but I am thankful!  God told us to be thankful and I am.  This is the season that reminds us of all He has done for us and I do THANK Him for saving me and keeping me.  I thank Him for His mercy and grace.  I thank Him for His loving care for me even though I realize that most of the time I am an unlovely person but He loves me all the same.  I pray that He help me to walk more worthy of His love.

Missing my sisters.  Looking forward to Saturday.  May God bless our time together with peace and  loving kindness towards each other.  May our time together accomplish and bring forth only good fruit.  In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.

Troubled?

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair - persecuted but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.  2 Cor. 4:8,9

Tired

Inspiring title, huh.  Sorry!

I have some things I really needed to do tonight but mostly I would just like to crash.  For some reason Mondays are so tiring for me.  I don't know why.  You would think I would be rested after the weekend but not so.  Trying to push through but I think I am wasting my time.  If you haven't shook the tired by nearly 10 I guess its time to give up.  Bed is calling me.  Jittery legs and all.

Loved reading all the posts.  I am excited that Jennifer is excited.  Looking forward to Norma's remembering and I can't wait for Glenda to get started.

Bethany just came in a few minutes ago so I guess this is all I'll say.

So Cool

This is so cool for us all to have a blog.  I can't wait for Glenda to get started.  I have such fun reading the posts and the comments are like talking to each other.

Had a good day.  I too, enjoyed your songs this morning Jennifer.  Jordan was so good and it was really cute.  He was trying to hold all his crayons in his hand while coloring.  He was sitting there and then he would suddenly do his little sway he does to music. Both my boys love music.

Both boys were good today.  They played and took their naps without too much ado.  Jaxon seems to be feeling a lot better but I don't think Jordan feels so good. 

I have made quite a few quilt blocks this weekend and am doing laundry. 

I can't wait to see Jennifer's new tree.  I am looking forward to the Christmas party. 

I watched Mr Belvedere Goes To College.  Thought I would watch Mr. Belvedere Rings The Bell but can't seem to get too interested in it.  Think I'll turn over to the food channel.

Hope you all have a peaceful, rest filled night and a happy day tomorrow.  God bless.

Thank You

I have such wonderful sisters.  I want to thank Glenda and Perry for the wonderful meal at Sirloin for my birthday.  I really had a good time.  Food and good company.  I love steak and baked potatoes. 
Thank you, Norma for the pink shoes.  I have worn them all day.  They fit good and I LOVE the color.
Thank you, Jennifer for having us in your home at Thanksgiving.  The meal was delicious.  I really had a good time.
You guys are always doing good things for me.  Thanks.

Had a good day.  Visited with Norma.  Made some quilt blocks.  Visited with Gina and ran some errands.  Hope all is well with each of you.
Love you!

Little Children

It was  Jesus who invited the children to come to Him, the source of all hope, comfort and strength. It was and continues to be Jesus who calms our fears and eases our pain.  At any age we have the hope and assurance of God's "everlasting arms" under us as well as around us.

Lord God, may I always remember that you are my refuge.  Because my hope is in you, I am held in your arms forever.

Great Party

I enjoyed the church Christmas Party.  Good prayer, good food, good fellowship.

Glenda I hope  you are feeling better.  I am glad Norma's dr appointment went well.
Pray for Jaxon.  Sharon had to pick him up from school Monday.  He has bronchitis and an ear infection.  Poor baby.  Ran high fever last night and stayed home from school today.  I sure do appreciate Sharon taking good care of the boys.  I know she loves them and wants to but I still pray God bless her abundantly, her and David both.  I know it is a hard thing to be raising small grand children.  They are not as old as me but still old enough for it to be harder raising children.  God bless them with health, peace and financial blessings.

Had a pretty normal day.  Praise God for keeping me.  Love you all.  I pray y'all have a wonderful day coming up.

Here I Am.

Like Jennifer, I am have trouble sitting down to write.  I am not in a too stressful situation I just haven't been able to focus much on writing. 
I am so glad that Glenda came through surgery ok and has been released to go home.  I know it is still hard and painful but she does not require further treatment and is moving around mostly on her on.  Praise God.  I am praying for a speedy uncomplicated recovery.
Great news that Norma does not require any further treatments.  I pray God cause her surgery to heal with out any further complications.
I thank God that he allowed Jennifer to see that Max was alive and well.  It may have brought further dilemmas to her situation but God answered, he is alive and well.  I pray God bring peace to her heart over this situation!!
It was great that Wesley was able to sing a song this morning at Sunday school.  I praise God he pressed his way through.  I believe God truly honors our willingness to do even though we don't always feel we are able.  He honors our effort and that brings us another step closer.
Jaxon did good at Sunday School.  Praise God both boys seemed to be doing okay physically this week.  They are sick so much.  I praise God for a healthy week.  I am proclaiming healing for Jaxon in every aspect of his life. 
This weekend has been good even though I did not feel good yesterday.  Bethany came over and she helped take care of the boys while they were here.  They are such good boys!??  I love them so much.
I have been doing a little of this and a little of that today.  Just taking it easy but I have still accomplished a little bit.  I did some sewing and some laundry.  I enjoy doing crafting.  Mostly I feel guilty about it cause I should be working but I have decided not to feel guilty about it this December.  After that?
Oh well I don't have much to say but I would like to give a big thumbs up and I love to my brothers in-laws.  They are good people!!!!!!!  God bless them abundantly!!!!!!

...The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.  Gen. 10:49

Looking forward to y'all having blogs.
