Cooking Green
Hope everyone’s week is going well, have been trying to figure out something all week. We are having a fellowship at our church for St. Patrick’s Day next week, but there is a catch to this you have to cook something green. Do you know how hard it really is to come up with something green that is unique and that everyone else will not be cooking is? HARD. If anyone has any suggestions will be glad to take them. I will let you know next week how this turns out. This will be fun and interesting.

Do you ever have one of those days that you just would like to stay with your head under the covers all day long with no one to bother you?
Well today was one of those days for me for no particular reason. But with God’s grace and hand I got up because I knew that he had given me a great opportunity called family and that they needed me to take care of them. You know sometimes we think of the daily chores of fixing breakfast, lunch, washing clothes, making the bed, cooking and general picking up as a chore but I have come to learn through my studies with God, a women’s class, and friends in general that the are not have to they are blessings that we get to do them and that we have someone to do it for. I have started trying to look at by daily duties not as chores but as because I Love my family. It really makes things easier when you are having one of those days.
Just remember that God has a plan for us and everything that we do in our lives. So we need to always try to do everything to our best and do it for God.

Thank Gooness it is Friday
I am so glad that it is Friday. I work inside for a living so I have not been able to enjoy these past few pretty days(but from the inside). I am so glad for the weekend to almost be here and that it is going to be a pretty weekend. My family has a fun and packed weekend as usual, but to me there is nothing better than enjoying the days that the Lord has made with family, friends and sunshine. Hope everyone make the best of the weekend and stops to think about God giving us the strength to make it through another week and enjoy each day

Be Blessed
Listening to a local radio station this morning on the way to work-- they were asking people to call about what they were eating when they were poor. Some were funny and some were just gross. But was amazing is that most people called and said that they did not think they were poor, they just thought it was common. Most callers would say even though we were eating this or that, we were a blessed family.
This is another example of how we do not always have to have the best or the finest things to make us happy. God, family and friends go a long way to making people happy and life wonderful.
A lot of times just throwing a meal together and having friends or family over is usually better than having that expensive meal (isn't that right, Everybody's Mama and Mama Hen).
If you just take time to stop and look we all have blessings all around us. Lets take time today to stop and find at least one blessing.I bet if we look we can find more than one.

Learning to Witness
Good Morning. Hope everyone is doing well today.
Ever feel so close to God that you feel as if you are sitting in his lap. Over this last weekend and the first of this week that is how I feel. I have back that feeling when I first became a born again Christian- saved only by Gods grace. I have had a wonderful couple of weeks, God has blessed me with many blessings as he always does these just have been more visible. My husband and I have communicated more, have that feeling back stronger (like when we first started dating), seen God working in my family and friends lives.
One thing that we need to always remember is that God calls us to witness. We have to witness in many different ways. That can be in the form of a simple smile, a soft hello, talking to someone about your day, listening to someone’s story of there day, having that soft hug, that shoulder to let someone cry on, or talking to someone about Jesus. These are just to name a few. I have been taught something over the past couple of months, that being we always need to be ready to witness. This can be done any many ways and we have to get out of our comfort zone of church and mix with the sinners. Lets face it most of the people in your church are saved, your worldly people are not and they are in many different places. Of course you must be careful were you go to witness because you don’t want to give someone the wrong impression of your Godly character by like going to the bar or something like that, but I truly believe that you can go to someone’s house and visit if there are people there that you know are sinners, for example. Lets face it we all were sinners at one time and someone share GOD with us.
Let’s all make a commitment to witness this week.

Weather in the south
Well this weekend has been a blast and boy did time fly by. We had a intresting weather weekend, we all went from wearing short sleeves and riding horses on Saturday, to waking up to snow on Sunday. It was a intersting weekend.
My country boy and I were talking on the way home from church about the snow; as we were driving home in it; about how wonderful and how alive God truly is if you can just slow down long enough to see and take in the beauty. We do not think much about it when we have the rain becuase we see it all the time. The snow on the other hand we living in the south we don't see very much at all. So when we do the kid comes out in all of us. The beauty of the snow coming home and when we got home was wonderful, flowing like a free bird and all different shapes and sizes. Gods natural beauty of giving us different things such as snow, rain, fall and summer are wonderful things that we need to slow down and take in. Slow down and smell the flowers.
PS-- The snow does not last long in the south - the snow had finally started to stick and by the time we had all finished eating lunch(which the kids did not want to eat because they wanted to go play in the snow) it had started to melt. But however the wind was cold as we olds folks indured the cold for the kids.
