Day #30 ~

Well…….. we’ve reached the end of our “30 days of being thankful” I think this last 30 days has been a good ‘head start’ to continue to practice being Thankful each and every day… through good and bad…. Happy and sad…. Easy and tough!
Today is the last of this 30 days…. But the beginning of another 30 days!
I am so very Thankful for these last 30 days! To look back… you can see the good days and the bad days… but in all there was so much to be thankful for!
Today is not just the last of this ’30 days’ but the last day of Michael being on full time meds. Yep… he tested negative this morning for spilling protein. The weaning off the meds begins! Praise you God!
So… today….I’m THANKFUL for Michael being on the road to remission… getting 12 dozen + cookies made yesterday for tomorrow…. Having a mother/daughter day with my mom and daughter today…. Fresh coffee…. Grocery lists…. Dryer fluffing clothes…. Alarm clocks… travel arrangements all made for Christmas vacation…. Another craft item sale… enjoying my sitting room every morning in peace and quiet while others still sleep…. Trash pick up day…. High School Wrestling season… a dear friend squeezing in a sort of emergency hair cut for Patrick last night…. Knee braces… medicine…. Piggy banks to save money in.. and borrow money from…. crocheting and knitting… being able to put a smile on my “not a morning person” 16yr olds face before he leaves for school….. getting a text from my boys to let me know they made it school safe and sound….. biscuits and gravy day for breakfast at school for my boys (that’s their favorite)….. small towns…. Country livin’…. Good friends … great family… and GOD for giving it all to us!
~*~ Have a Fantastic Friday… a Wonderful Weekend… and be Thankful for another 30 days!!!!~*~ ♥

Day #29 ~

Thankful God said NO
I asked God to take away my habit.
God said, “No”.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, “No”.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, “No”.
Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn’t granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, “No”.
I give you blessings; happiness is up to you.
I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, “No”.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, “No”.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God for all things that I might enjoy in life.
God said, “No”.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help me LOVE others as much as He loves me.
God said……
Ahhhhhh, finally you have the idea ♥

Whew.... today is a very busy day of baking cookies!!!  I have 12 dozen cookies to bake today to sell Saturday at the Cougar Classic Wrestling Tournament!  First Tournament of the season.  The wrestling team has been given the opportunity to run the concession stand that day... so to help earn some extra money... some of us moms are baking homemade goodies to sell!   After I get done baking the ones for the tournament... If I have time... I'll make a batch for the boys.  

I'm super excited about the tournament this weekend.  Patrick won the varsity spot in his weight class so he's pretty excited too!   I'm really proud of him!  

I got an order the other day from a lady at the elementary school for a couple Husker beanies!  Yay me!!! 

I think I'm going to try and be a bit more aggressive with my crafts and selling them in 2013..... I have some things I would like to earn and save my money for!  I just hope it works and folks find my crafts good enough!  

 

Okay... need to run kids.............

I have a pot of coffee... an oven and cookie ingredients calling me!

Catch up later

have a GREAT day!

Day #28 ~

Be Thankful…………..
*Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
*Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.
*Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow
*Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.
*Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.
*Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.
*Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made the effort.
*Be thankful for setbacks
It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
*Be thankful for troubles
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

oooooooooooooooooooooooh .... its snowing!   How pretty!

Well... got most of the cleaning...rearranging and organizing done I wanted to yesterday!  Thank you to my guys for helping!!!    I now sit in my sitting room off my bedroom typing here with my feet up coffee at hand and my crocheting next to me!  This is so nice!  Last night David and I enjoyed this "found again" space by playing Wii and then watching a movie! 
This morning I was able to get up really early enjoy my coffee... read emails and crochet in my little quiet spot without bothering anyone else! 
Opened the curtains.... as the daylight started to appear and got to see the first snow fall of the year from my bay window.  
Finishing up a pair of slippers then I need to crochet some 12" granny squares to send to a lady wanting to sew them together  for a family with 3 kids that are really struggling for Christmas!  Hope to get alot done for her!
Today is a GREAT DAY!

Catch you all tomorrow!!!
off to make eggs sandwiches for my boys and get a fresh cup of coffee for me!
Have a Marvelous Monday everyone!

.::Tam::.

Day #25 ~

THANK YOU GOD!!!  Michael is down another 8lbs from yesterday… 8 more to go!   He’s protein levels are starting to show that they are getting back to normal too!  God is so GOOD!

Being Thankful through trials…… You may have heard it a hundred times, but this time let it soak in and really permeate your faith. God works for our good in ALL things. Not just some of them, or just the good things. He works in ALL of them. This is one of our greatest promises and something to truly be thankful for.

~*~Romans 8:28: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.~*~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So... today is a good day for rearranging ....cleaning up and organizing.  Here's to hoping it gets accomplished!  :) 
The temps are starting to show that Winter is on its way...brrrr!   I have several crochet items that I want to work on before and after Christmas.  Afghans... slippers... fingerless mitts... scarfs .. .beanies... etc.  All those perfect Winter  items!  
During a period of time when my daughter was living with us... I crowded a bunch of my craft stuff in my sitting room of my bedroom.  I never  did get that all cleaned back up and reorganized... so .... today I hope that will happen.  I want to be able to sit in my sitting room..... watch the snow fall and crochet my little heart out... :)  And of course spend time here blogging!!

I'm off to get a fresh cup of coffee... and get my helpers moving.... :)
Catch you all later!
have a great day!!!

Day #21 ~

Be Thankful …. Stay in the present.
I think the easiest way that we get distracted from how thankful we should be is by living in either the past or the future. Neither of these realities are real, therefore we cannot be thankful. God’s reality is now. We can only experience Him now. And it is only in Him that we can see why we are thankful. ~ Thank you Lord God for today!!! It’s a Great Day!!! ~ ♥

Day #20 ~

  Be Thankful… Get rid of  Fear and anxiety.
I have heard it said that a reality where fear and anxiety exist is a reality where a good God does not exist. Fear and anxiety are not just stealing your thankful heart. They, like comparison, are sinful acts. How many times does Jesus say, “Fear not?”. Remind yourself of the God of faithfulness and steadfast love that you serve, and fear not. Remind yourself of all the ways that God has been good to you. 
♥ Thank you God for giving me everything I have and a heart to not be afraid to share!! ♥

Day #18 ~

Be Thankful….Get rid of expectations.
The first way to get rid of expectations is to not live in slavery to the expectations of others. There are some who feel like a failure if they let down the expectation of people who matter to us. Pleasing everyone is impossible. You will fail. This will hinder your thankfulness to God.
The second way to live in the slavery of expectations is to con...

stantly expect your way to be perfect. You live under the slavery of something you can never accomplish, and in order to make your stay steady and perfect you expect those closest to you to play their perfect parts too. This leads to a world of hurt and self focus. This leads to a heart that cannot be thankful. ♥ Thank you God for loving me the way I am!!!!!!!

Day #15 ~

  Always rejoice, constantly pray, in everything give thanks. For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thess. 5:16–18).
In his letter to the Philippians, Paul elaborates: "Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God" (Phil. 4:6).
An attitude of gratitude should envelop our prayers and petitions, which the Lord expects us to bring to Him.

Don't skip the prepositions here — "in everything give thanks"… "with thanksgiving…" — what we don't see is "be thankful for everything." The difference is profound. While we may never be grateful for certain painful experiences, we can still be grateful during them. We can still pray with a thankful heart.

Why? Because our hope is not in the potential answers to our prayers. Our hope is in the God to whom we pray! In Him we trust. He has given us life itself — freedom, salvation, grace, mercy. He chose us to be his children. "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God" (1 John 3:1).

 Who can't be thankful for that?

Day #14 ~

People with a strong sense of gratitude, love and appreciation don't necessarily have more than others; they aren't "luckier". They simply recognize and see more beauty in their lives. It is suggested that people who count their blessings are generally happier and healthier than people who don't. If you ever feel as if anything in your life isn't "enough", try practicing an attitude of thankfulness. You might realize how good you have it after all.
I’m Thankful for a new day to be Thankful! God Bless you all! Have a wonderfully blessed day! ♥

Day #8 ~

Thank you Lord for the trials in our lives!

Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
James 1:2-4

This verse is sometimes hard to swallow. But it always comes to mind. Just like troubles in life, they come no matter how we avoid them. So better welcome them with a brave heart......for no one is "troubleproof" in this side of life.

I thank God for all the trials I've been through and the challenges I'm facing now. They made my faith stronger. I don't ask for them but I know they come with a purpose. I recall that each time I have trouble I'm drawn closer to Him, and each time I am in great need, miracle happens.

Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
James 1:12

I thank God for His grace that abounds especially in times of trials and persecution. His strength made me endure.

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:9

I thank God for His comfort in times of sorrow. I continue to praise and give thanks to Him regardless of my circumstance. "Weeping may remain for a night but rejoicing is sure to come in the morning".

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18

I Thank God for He is gentle with His dealings with me, though many times I fail and fall short from His standard. If I fell seven times, He would pick me up eight times. That's how abundant His patience is for me.

A bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice.
Isaiah 42:3

I thank Jesus for His comforting words. His loving character is so revealed in His words. I take comfort in His promise each time I'm weary and tired or just feeling down.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28

Continuing to Pray for my Michael!!!

God Bless you all

.::Tam::.

Day #7 ~

Thank you God for the brighter mornings so that my boys can drive to school safer and not in the dark.

Natural darkness is nothing more than the absence of light. Enter a basement without any windows, turn off the lights and close the door. You will find yourself standing in a pitch dark room. The moment you flick the light switch on the darkness will flee instantly

Spiritual darkness is a lot like natural darkness, it is the absence of spiritual light. Our body is the house (1 Corinthians 3:16, Matthew 12:43-45). Jesus is the light that fills our house. John 8:12
Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”
The power to turn on the spiritual light and expel spiritual darkness is already within you.... just need to flick that light switch.

♥ Thank you Lord for Michael having a good day at school yesterday!

♥God Bless

Day #6 ~

I have several things to be thankful for today.

1) The opportunity to exercise my right to Vote! To use the information we have been given and be a voice to our country.
2) Michael lost a tiny bit of water weight from yesterday and is feeling just well enough to try a day back at school! Praise you God!
3) Although we have spent a nice chunk of money over the last couple years on our vehicles …. We have an awesome honest mechanic that keeps our Jeeps running well and safely. Money well spent!

4) Ken doing well…. staying healthy and HOME.
5) Seasonal Pumpkin Bagels and cream cheese with my coffee
6) Ken and Patrick fixing my washer (yeah for clean clothes…LOL)
7) Our Father in Heaven being the center of all of this!!!!! I love you Lord God with all of my heart!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you dont Vote... you lose the right to complain.

Blessings to you all
