Praise Him!

Over the past 2 years God has been teaching me to Praise Him in the good times and the bad. Although there are many, many times that it seems I haven't learned the lesson yet. My newest moments have been with our wonderful vehicles. I got in an accident with the car right after we moved in November. It still needs to be fixed and now we found out a gasket in it is bad. Still don't have any money to fix that either. Then the van....has no air conditioning. Haven't been able to afford to fix it. Tried last summer, but to no avail. The ABS has quit working....we did an inexpensive fix on it though. (You can unhook the ABS...yes a mechanic told us to do this.....and just have the "regular" brakes.) I am very happy it is starting to warm up a little because the heater in the van is about shot also. Well...just this week the door handle on the driver's side fell off. Even though fixing it is cheaper than fixing the air conditioning....we don't even have the money to fix that. But...I praise the Lord because we actually have a vehicle that runs (Even if we do have to get in from the passenger side now.) So I just wanted to remind everyone else that you need to praise the Lord even when things go bad. May the Lord Bless you!

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! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
