Let our Light Shine

Matthew 5:16- "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven"

This was the verse for my devotion today and it definately gives you something to think about. Some people like to "brag" about what they have done for the Lord and they use this verse to supposedly back them up. Well...we are not to seek the approval of men. As Christians we are to love the Lord with all of our heart and good works will just be an outpouring of that love for Christ. If no one notices...so what. Our heavenly Father knows about it and that is the most important thing. I am very happy on how well my devotion time has been going this week.

Oh...guess what! I am going to be getting a digital camera. Peggy wrote and offered it to my family. I am so excited. It doesn't really matter that it is not the latest and greatest, but it is at least something for us and we are very grateful for it! Now I can post more pictures on my blog. THis is going to be great.

Yesterday our group canned around 180 quarts of Bacon and Bean soup. I will be bringing around 41 quarts home! I am so excited. When the baby comes and things get a little "crazy" it will be nice to warm up some soup and fix some cornbread. I still can't believe we were able to do all of that. It was such a blessing to be with other women working yesterday. My children did fairly well at the dear Sister's home. I wasn't sure how they would do being away from home for 12 hours and not on their regular schedule.

I almost forgot! I received my tea cosy from my swap at Crochetville. It is a lovely tea cosy and fits my tea pot perfectly. She also sent some french vanilla tea, two skeins of yarn, a tape measure (which I wanted for the diaper bag to take around with me), and some crocheted snowflakes which I absolutely love! I can't wait to receive my items for the Kit Mitts swap at Crochetmania. My partner is in the middle of moving right now though. So..I will just have to wait and that is fine. Well..I better get back to my duties and watch the children. Hubby should be home within the hour! God's Blessings to all!

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn'

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Today I am taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell and her Giving Thanks week. Last Saturday I had the chance to do something I had never done before. I put together a gingerbread house with my MIL and my children. My MIL made the gingerbread and then she had me help her assemble it and then decorate it. We didn't finish it all, but we hope to finish it this afternoon since she has the day off. I am pretty proud of myself. Next year maybe the children and I can do this as a school project/activity. So...here is the gingerbread house in all it's glory. I hope to post a finished

I did it!

Yes, I did get up at 5am this morning. Two days in a row, that is a HUGE deal for me. Let's see if I can keep this up (but probably not on Sundays). Tomorrow will be the test. I am not the type of person that can sleep in two days in a row and then get up on time through the week. I am going to try to only allow myself (at first) to sleep in one day a week. We will see how that goes. ;) But, my quiet time the past two mornings has been wonderful! It's amazing how it totally changes my day. Today I was thinking about smiling. Do you know that people are drawn to a smile? It's true. Think about it. When you are out in a store or just out on a walk...there is something about a smile from someone. I guess it gives me "hope" that there are actually people out there with joy in their heart. Gotta wonderful sometimes with all the scowls I see. Make sure you have a smile on your face today. :) Oh...the other night when we went to the store Sweet E was so happy. When we w
