blogging!!!

I am so excited to be getting more "blogging" business! I have recently had two opportunities you will see soon. Thank you, God for sending it my way!!!

Thankful....

Although 'THANKSGIVING' holiday is over doesn't mean that's where we stop and wait until next year. We have to be "thankful" everyday. It is a gift from God!

When you feel down and depressed by the stresses of this life, and there are plenty, start naming your blessings! You are alive, you may not feel good but you are alive. You have another chance at another day. You choose how to live it!!!! "For I know the plans I have for you, saith the Lord. Plans to give you a future and a hope." God has awesome plans for your life. Will you accept his?

I am so thankful for life, my salvation through Jesus Christ, my relationship with Jesus, my family, my friends, my home, clothes, food, health, and so much more!

Today's challenge: When you think of something negative, list 5 things positive to counter the negative! You will be amazed at what happens!!! I DARE YOU!!

FYRFLYZ are the buzz!

Your child will love to have their own "lazer light show" right in front of their very own eyes! I received the free product as part of a promotional program with Fyrflyz and MomSelect. This product has a switch to turn on the light show. There are strings that are attached to sturdy finger handles. Your child can create many different light forms by manipulating the strings in motion. You can find several tricks on-line at www.youtube.com.

• Comes in 3 colors
• Under $10
• Has won Toy of the Year by many organizations
• Makes a great stocking stuffer or Kris Kringle gift

THANKSGIVING!!!

It is a special time of year that we all look forward to:  Thanksgiving. We take a few moments, maybe a few days, to stop and give "thanks" like our ancestors did so many years ago.  I have so much to be thankful for, but I wonder why we can't be more "thankful" during our lives instead of just one day or week.  I am glad that we can take time off from school and work to focus on our families.  Our lives in just the past ten years have changed so much and the world around us in NOT THE SAME!  I can even see that this luxury of "Thanksgiving" may be at risk in our near future!  So, during this special week please take time to spend with your family or friends.  Take time to tell others how you are thankful for them, even if it is difficult.  Don't look back on your life with regrets when you have the chance now!  Just last week a loving, young family encountered a harsh reality.  The young father, husband lost control of his vehicle and is now in a medical induced coma fighting for his life!  I'm sure, as no one would, they didn't plan on this for Thanksgiving!  However, they are still "thankful" for what God is doing in their lives!  When we are faced with heartache and pain, we determine what road we will take....bitterness and grief, or thankfulness and love for those around us! Be thankful and love your family and friends!!!  HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!

30 days of Thanks!!

How can I choose only 30 things I am thankful for?  There is NO WAY!!!  I have been sooo blessed!  Each day brings MORE BLESSINGS!!!  God is so good.  He is faithful.  So here is my "attempt" to list my 30 days of Thanks!


1. I am thankful for God, who created me, who loved me and KNEW me before I was ever conceived!
2.  I am thankful for Jesus, God's only son who was sent as a sacrifice to cover my sins so I could have eternal life in Heaven!


Each day I will post a new "THANKS" for the month of November...but of course it will just keep growing!  
God bless!  Pass it on and Pay it forward!!!

NOVEMBER already???

Ok...The weather is showing all the signs of fall, but I still can't believe it is November 1st!!  Yikes...Ok so who has already counted how many days left til Christmas????  Not me!  I guess my next post will be closer to Christmas and YES I will be freaking out!!!
