Thankful Thursday...........

☀☕ Good Morning all…………

God is so awesome!!! He is a perfect parent.... an amazing Father!
Many of us pray.... some everyday.... some not as often as we like or should.. and some ... only when we've reached that deep sadness... desperation or last straw. And of all these prayers...they are usually a need or want. We forget to pray in Thanks!

So…….. today I am Thankful for...

~ my Lord God for all I have to be thankful for!

~ coffee

~ each of my children!  They are the light of my life!

~ memories of dancing in BWW… ‘mini vacations’ to local hotels just to get away for the weekend… laughing till our tummies hurt… loving till our hearts hurt!

~ oatmeal

~ my awesome job!

~ great weather this month to be able to get some things done.

~ staying on track… staying organized… staying focused – all with God

~ getting a good start on my crochet/knitting projects for this year

~ having several projects going at the same time and being able to control them all.

~ my lawyer!

~ my mechanic

~ my amazing mother

~ memories of learning to tie my shoes… being taught to make scrambled eggs… fishing trips… and huge bear hugs when I walked in the door.

~ favors… sharing… listening ear… shoulders to lean on… & prayers

 

Many Blessings to you all!
Have a wonderfully Thankful Thursday!!

Wonderful Wednesday.............

….. and wonderful it is!  Sun is shining… temperature is 40*… and God is good!
Count your blessings!  How many times have you had someone say this to you?  

Did your mother ever tell you to count your blessings when you were complaining as a child? I know mine did. Whenever I was getting negative and starting to complain about things not going my way she would tell me to count my blessings. When I was young, I had no clue what that meant. As an adult I totally get it. God has blessed me with so much, and sometimes I need to remind myself.

Psalms 103:1-4
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

David knew what it was like to be taken care of by the Lord. In the first four verses, he recounts the many ways that the Lord has blessed him. His sin has been forgiven, and he has been healed of diseases, redeemed from the pit, and crowned with steadfast love and mercy. He doesn’t want to forget all of these benefits, so he repeats them back to the Lord. This is something we should do as well. Spend some time recounting all of the many blessings God has bestowed on you.

For all of those blessings, David wants to return the blessing back to the Lord. His heart is full of gratefulness so he sings “Bless the LORD, O my soul!” With all of his heart, David worships the LORD. The way that we bless the LORD is by worshipping him. No gift or act of service will ever come close to the blessing of worship. Give him all the praise and glory.

Are you going through a difficult time? Maybe you feel stuck in life and can’t seem to get out? Instead of focusing on your situation remember two things: First recount the blessings that God has given you and second remember that he has crowned you with steadfast love and mercy. When we do this, our heart will be full, and all of our problems won’t seem so big. Count Your Blessings.

God Bless

Terrific Tuesday.......

☕ Good Morning……


Hope all is going well for everyone! 

Well… so far… so good with staying on track for this to be my year to get organized!
God is always first in my day!  I wake up thanking Him every morning for a new day!  I listen to songs of praise and worship all the way to work and prepare my day having God in control of all of it!
I’m still finishing up with getting new folders made and put in my file cabinet at home… but its coming along nicely!  I know where everything is and now can stay on top of things!
I’ve started a temperature blanket for myself for this year.  It’s the accomplishment that I will have at the end of the year to show that this year was a new beginning. 
This is my little Color/Temperature Gage that I will be using to make my blanket and any future blankets! 

I have my lists all made out for Christmas gifts this year…. And I’ve already started on some.
I’ve started getting all my tax stuff together for my accountant…. And I think I may finally be caught up to just being my taxes this year.  *whew*  I didn’t realize how much paper work there was after Ken passed to tend to! 
Speaking of paper work... I need to get back to mine.  
Have a Terrific Tuesday!

Blessings to you all....

A little show & share Friday......

☼ ☕ Good Morning everyone!
 Thought I would just pop in to show off a few random things.

This is my new office space at home.   My sons Christopher and Michael put my desk together for me after my sweet David cleaned out this room to have it ready for them... then he brought all the goodies in for me to put where I wanted them.  I spent the weekend purging and organizing ... and this is what I have so far.   I still have a few more files to go through and some decorative items to put up... but I'm quite happy with my office!

 

 This is the little space above my desk on the hutch that I have dedicated to Ken's Spot.
He watches over me while I work and keeps me company! ♥

This is a scarf I'm working on with some left over yarn from a blanket.

I have my year cut out for me as far as my list of projects I plan on getting done!  I say it every year... I'm going to work on Christmas gifts all year and give everyone a homemade item.... WELL.... this year.. darn it.. I'm going to do it!   That's part of my new "organized" life.  

I'm super proud of myself... I sent out the first birthday card of the year... I started on Christmas gifts.. and I'm finishing this scarf up for the "gift drawer"  I have my Flower Seed business pretty organized and ready for 'busy season'.   I'm just feeling like I'm more "together"!! 





I have my bible out more... I have been paying much more attention to the daily bible verses I receive on my bible app... and I've been praying & praising more!  2019 is the year I let God in COMPLETELY!  This is also the year ... I Let Go.   Let go of blaming myself for everything gone wrong.  Things happen because of the situation and circumstances!  Sometimes it really is someone else's doing!  Other times its the cards I was dealt!  God knows what He's doing allowing these things to happen in my life!  I'm going to Trust Him!!!!

Have a wonderfully Blessed day everyone!

God has it all under control!!

Thankful Thursday.........

☀☕  ~  Good Morning my dear friends and family!


What a lovely January day!  The sun is shinning ... the breeze isn't too bad and the temperature is 50*.   I'm so thankful for the nice weather lately... I've been able to get some things done that really needed done that required being outdoors at times! 
Coffee brewing first thing in the morning is such a wonderful smell!  Thank you coffee maker for working so hard to keep me supplied in cup after cup of coffee!
I'm so thankful for my truck that gets me back and forth to work so that I can earn a paycheck to be able to tend to my finances! 
I adore my job and all the people there!  So satisfying to get up in the morning and be happy to go to work.  I'm so grateful for all I have with my "work family"!
What a blessing my children are!  It amazes me every day that God entrusted me with my babies!  I love my children so much!!!  I cant imagine my life without them!!!
Yarn makes me happy!  The colors are so beautiful and bright!  The different brands texture are all so enjoyable!  I am so thankful that God blessed my Aunt with the talent of crochet and knitting and that she passed it on to me!  The joy it brings to me to take a simple skein of yarn and turn it into a pair of slippers that my husband absolutely loved.... or winter wear to keep a friend warm... or the baby blankets I have made each and every one of my grandbabies when they were born to surround them in love!  And all the countless items I've made for gifts or for sale.
My mother is just so dear to me!  She has been my rock through these tough times over the last few years!  I cant thank her enough for all she has done for me!  I am so very thankful she is in my life!
Memories.... some can be sad and heartbreaking ... others can be wonderful and heartwarming!  I'm so thankful for all the wonderful memories of life with my dear sweet Ken.  I miss him so much everyday.  Seems like more and more everyday!  It makes me so sad that he's not here to make more happy memories with me!  We had such a good life together... even through the bumps!   I feel like the bumps in the end is what made us stronger!  Love... forgiveness...  & grace!   I miss that man!
Lord God... I am beyond thankful for you!  For not giving up on me... for pursuing  me so that I would never be without you... for loving me unconditionally... and for your everlasting grace!  


Have a wonderfully thankful day everyone!
God loves you and so do I!

New Year...

☀️☕ ~ Happy New Year everyone!
Well... Here I am with a brand new year ahead of me. I spent the last few days purging and organizing my office at home.
This year is going to be my year of organization!!!
My day started with this verse of the day on my Bible app. ~Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Psalm 90:12~...
Followed by song after song on my radio on the way to work of encouragement.
I then spent time this morning purging and organizing my desk and office space at work.
Like I said.... This is going to be my year of organization!!! I'm going to get organized with God! I need Him in my life and He wants me in His!!! God has plans for me.... With being organized... I will be able to stay focused better and follow Him and live out the plans He has for me!
My year has already started off with continued trials I have been dealing with for the last 2 1/2 years along with new trials to deal with. But with the purging and organizing I've been doing.... I tossed those old recordings in my head that Satan plays over and over telling me lies of who I am and what I can and can not do. I know who I am!! *A child of God*. And I can do anything through Him!!!
Having said that.... With God ... I will be a better mom... Better Grandma... Better daughter... Better friend and a better child of His!!!

✝️ Many blessings to you all!!! 💕
