Count Your Blessings Monday (3/17)


"I am giving us an opportunity every Monday to not only count our blessings, but to share them with others. This is a way that we can encourage one another. Make a post on your blog telling us about your blessing. Please put a link back to this post (on her blog). You can add the URL of your blog post on Mr. Linky below. Many of our blessings we will have pictures of and we can share those as well. I think that many times we forget that it is a blessing to be able to breath, to get out of bed, to hold a baby... Share your blessings with us. They encourage others. We can share so many other things.... special gifts, recipes, let's take the time to share how God has blessed us!! -Marci"

Well, I feel terrible that I haven't taken time to take part of this time to share. Most of you know of the saga of the various illnesses that "plagued" our home for almost 2 months. As of right now, we are illness free (besides typical allergies). I am so grateful for this time that I have with my children.....that they are healthy! ;o) Sweet E's birthday is next Monday and as long as I remember to give them their vitamins and such all should go as planned for her special day. With the whole family struggling this past month or so I have had to rely a lot on the Lord. A lot more than I normally do. We were blessed to have two men from our church come to our home a week and a half ago (or so) and pray for our family. We are VERY grateful for them taking the time to do so and that the Lord has blessed us with good health once again. Now....we just need to build up our immune systems. :o) So, not a long post for Count your Blessings Monday, but I just wanted to share how grateful I am to our Lord for the blessing of Good health. :D(And the fact that they children can be sent outside to play now is also a bonus. :o)

Good health is something we often take for granted. When you have a long time of illness and have lots of little ones like you do, it is very hard. I am glad you are all better now. STAY THAT WAY!!! =) Thanks for taking part.

I am so happy that you are all feeling better. I'm sure the children are all happy to be playing outside again! xo It's a huge blessing to have such caring members of your church family, as well. You are so fortunate to have that gift of fellowship.

It is so good to hear that y'all are all feeling better, and the children are outside playing. That cabin fever can get the best of them that's for sure. Thank the Lord for Good Health!!

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...
