O What a beautiful morning!!!

Isn't that a song, yes i believe it is and it is true, just hung out jeans and rugs and it is going to be a beautiful day and we need it after the rain. Before I forget please pray for the couple coming to look at Kadee and Matt's house today, they have been trying to sell it for several months and someone is coming so please pray for this. What are you doing with your saturday? Did a couple of loads of laundry and now blogging but then will go on to the rest of the house's chores, you notice I said house's chores not mine, makes it sound like I am doing the chores for the house and I guess in a way I am. In all honesty how many times do you do something just for yourself?? Me.......hardly ever and I don't mean that in a bragging way. One of my gifts is to give and I do, probably sometimes too much but that is how God made me I can't help it. When I was younger I don't think I was so giving but with where we live and how much money we had it was a whole different world and of course I had the girls that needed me most but now that I am older, it is another different world and the giving is so much different. I have more compassion for people and is that a gift from God or maturity from God??? I believe God changes our gifts in life to help fullfill what he desires for our life and with that I will also say sometimes I don't always like those changes, I want to stay in my little world where I think I can keep everyone safe and happy and ...............but it doesn't work that way. With doing the precepts on monday nights from week to week my eyes are opened to a much bigger picture, not that I don't already know that there is a much bigger picture but the scripture we look at and the questions we are asked just opens the door to another question and another question and do we get answers to all of our questions, NO but don't you think sometimes God doesn't want us to have all the answers that way we keep searching for the answers thru him. Well I best go vaccum............dump the cats liter box.........see the chores go on and on...........have a great sunny day!!!!

Where have I gone??

O my goodness, fall is here and the carefree days of summer are gone, I am meeting myself coming and going and that is not me. I love my life to be simple and it is not simple. Here is just a round down of why I am not blogging, I work full time and then monday night Dave and I are taking the precept class at church (revelation) and so we have about 4 to 5 hours of homework to do before the next monday, tuesday I get home from work and I do my lesson for wednesday night and then go on to the lesson for sunday school (I teach both 1st graders for wednesday night and adults for sunday) and then wednesday go to CLC at church and then thursday night Pearls at church with Jen Hess (that is my veg night and just uplifting night) and then friday night I don't get out of work until 6:30 so makes the night later already so I try not to do anything but sit down with Dave and saturday I clean the house, finish my sunday lesson and the aim for a really nice dinner and then sunday of course church and try and do another nice meal (those are our leftovers for the get home from work nights and change clothes and head back out the door nights) then every about 3 weeks we go see kadee and matt in lansing and in the midst of that is of course laundry, groc shopping, homework and christmas. I know you are probably thinking christmas but yes my thing that I love to do is cross stitch and I try to cross stitch every other year everyone something for christmas, so I started on christmas back in january :) and won't get done until right before christmas, after this pic I am doing right now I believe I won't do anymore big pictures not for a few years, I will stick to smaller ones. So that has been my life............... I do love looking at everyone's blogs I just need to get back to mine!!!!
