2014-0112 - a day of worship and rest

Dear Friends and Family, it's Sunday!

We had a wonderful day of worship and rest.  Wonderful services today at Capitol Baptist Church and then out to lunch for a relaxing time .

It was a really nice afternoon with a Sabbath nap and some rest. And I hope all of you enjoyed your day as well.

Stop by tomorrow and see what we're doing for the rest of the week.

7 Ways To Make the Money Last - The Envelope System

Image
I can't be overdrawn; I still have checks left! Is there more month than money? My husband and I have a terrible time holding on to our money.  It seems like everything everywhere is on the upward trend, except our paychecks.  Those have remained steady for several years. Please don’t think I’m complaining about my job.  I am not!  I praise God every day that we have jobs, that we enjoy the work we do, and that we are able to meet our needs.  We can’t ask for more than that!  God has truly blessed us. We don’t have everything we ever wanted; but we have more than enough when it comes to basic needs.  And, if you’ve been following my blog, you know that I personally have WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH of most things (even if I can’t find all of them when I want to use them, hahaha!) Financial stress can really put a burden on us; it can make us act irrationally and do things we wouldn’t normally consider.  My husband and I spent years trying to figure out how to make e

2014-0119 - the harvest

The farmer doesn’t plant the field, or endure the dog days of summer, because it is fun or because he needs some excitement in his life.  He makes his plans, plants the fields, and does his daily chores because he desires the harvest.  He desires the good part of farming…  Likewise, the good part of life, the abundance of God, is only available to us when we make our plans, do the work, and develop the good habits that lead to the desired result.

I would like to follow Jesus’ example. I want to honor and glorify God with my thoughts, words, and deeds.  That means that one day at a time, chore by chore, I must make the right choices to change my habits

2014-0102 - encouragement

Image
I would like to extend a huge thank you to all of my friends and family who have been so supportive.  I received many very kind words of encouragement in response to my very first ever blog post.  I do have to admit that it was fun to see those words in print knowing that they had been published to the internet!  So... now you know...  I am very easily amused , hahaha! I would like to talk to you about something God has placed on my heart today:  ENCOUR'AGEMENT , noun The act of giving courage, or confidence of success; incitement to action or to practice; incentive.   ( http://webstersdictionary1828.com/Home?word=Encourage ). Encouragement can take the form of the least little thing but it is so important to each of our lives.  A little Godly advice from a friend, a kind word from an acquaintance, or a cheerful attitude from someone we look up to helps to validate our feelings of worth, of accomplishment, and of belonging.  A smile, a touch, lifting an eyebrow, or even th
