Love in any language (In All Things # 14)

Thankful for meeting this dear friend 15 years ago. She has invested much time and love into my life and taught me not only her language of ASL, but much about The Lord.  Happy Birthday friend!!

So you see what I see? (In all things #13)

Thankful for work but also thankful for a cold Friday off from work. I was productive and did this......

I believe the children are our future...(In All Things #12)

Thankful The Lord loaned me two amazing daughters to raise this side of Heaven.

Freedom (In All Things #10)

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36

Work of Art (In All Things #9)

Had the privilege of watching my baby girl perform last week.  Thankful for the doors The Lord has opened for her,

 


 Music is a world within itself, it's a language we all understand.

It's as easy as ABC, 123 (In All Things #8)

 One thing I tried do with the grand-girls each day they were with me for 6 weeks was read books--LOTS of books.   I told them reading books will give them knowledge and imagination will give them free adventures.  We explored the pages of Olivia The Pig, Fancy Nancy, among numerous others. 

 (One of our favorite reads was "The Day the Crayons Quit").  

It appears the 'reading seeds' were planted by Mimi as I received this text from them the other day:

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go" Dr. Seuss

I don't know if there will be snow but have a cup of CHEER (In All Things #7)

Everybody's Working for the weekend.....In All Things #6

As the saying goes, "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."   I am so very thankful for this current season in my life where The Lord has given me my heart's desire concerning my job.  For years I was a stay-at-home wife and homeschooling mom.  I knew those days would end and they did--too quickly I might add.  The Lord was gracious to me and opened doors I never dreamed would open for me.  I have gone places I never dreamed I would go, traveled places I've never been, met some of the most amazing people and translated some of the most interesting topics imaginable!! It is my prayer and desire to glorify Him in all that I do, including my work.   

All in a days work...well, maybe three different days. 

I want to ride my bike ...(In all things #5)

Though my outward tent is wearing away with aches and pains I am thankful they are minor issues. I praise The Lord for good health and the ability to work and be active. I went 42 plus years of my life not working out. Two summers ago I was encouraged (note sarcasm) by my specialist to get active. I needed to find something I enjoyed and just do it.  So  I decided to get my beach cruiser bike out the shed and go for a spin. That was the best decision I could have made for my overall health. It's been two year and a new bike later I still enjoy my bike time. I love  the wind in my hair as I peddlle as fast as I can down the hill like I'm racing Lance Armstrong.  Makes me feel like a kid again. It makes me laugh. Stress melts away and it helps with my pain management.

Most importantly I use the time to prayer cycle. I pray for the houses and neighborhoods as I ride around the streets.  My faithful two wheeled friend and I have a good Ol time prayer cycling through my area.  Each ride ends with no regrets. 

God Bless America (In all things #4)

I'm mad about this little dude.....though the feeling may not be mutual.  *gasp*

It was my PURE delight to have my grand babies live near my for 6 weeks this summer.

In all things give thanks
 for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all!
1 Thessalonians 5:18 (RHE)


Thank God no matter what happens. 

This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live. 

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (message)

Life happens. Time moves forward.  Schedules never slow.  We feel frazzled.  We press-on.   He never leaves.  He is always there.  He is faithful. His Word speaks. We stop to breathe.  We realize the blessings. Perfect gifts from above.  My cup runs over.  He is faithful. I stop to acknowledge.  May I never forget.  Thank you, Lord.
