Are You Ready?

A friend of mine, Marci, blogged earlier this week about people she knew of dieing. There was a 16 year old girl that died in a car accident. Well I just got a phone call today of a man I know that died. See...he lived across the street from my in-laws and his son and my hubby were good friends growing up. . Anyway....his body was found in the river today. He was drunk, walking home, and apparently fell off of a bridge. I don't know what was going through his mind the last moments of his life. All I can say is that I hope that he was making his life right with our Lord and Saviour. His son...has always had questions for my hubby, but there has always been something holding him back. I pray that this will give him the "push" he needs to realize that he needs Christ. So I ask that you think about those you come and contact with (especially those on a regular basis) and make sure you share the Lord with them today. And make sure you know our Lord too. Life is too short and we never know what the next minute holds for us. Just make sure you are living every moment with the Lord.

***UPDATE**** Hubby talked to the wife briefly and she is an absolute wreck and the son is pretty torn up too. We are asking for prayer for this family. The wife is not saved and really has nothing to live for. We are scared because we don't know how she will "come out" of this. As for the son..as I mentioned before...prayer that this situation can be used to open his eyes to the truth and give his life to the Lord.

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
