Marriage Monday

Today's topic on Marriage Monday is humor in Christian marriage. My beloved keeps us smiling, grinning, and laughing. He always walks in the door with the most amazing smile on his face. He lets us know that he wants to be here :)

And he has the funniest sayings. Most of them are from western movies. He takes the best lines or quotes and applies them to funny real life situations. Or maybe not so funny real life situations and therefore relieving some of the stress.

I so appreciate my husbands sense of humor and the laughter that he keeps stirred in our home. We are a richer family for the wonderful gift of laughter.

Blessings to you today.

Proverbs 17:22 "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones"

Then Sings My Soul Saturdays

I have picked the song "Homesick" for my Then Sings My Soul Saturdays selection. My Uncle in TN has just gone home to be with the Lord. I really don't have any more words of comfort than these...he is home and he is with the Lord.

Blessings to you this day. Debra Kaye

Thankful Thursday

Today's Thankful Thursday's theme is ~ Looking Back

I have to admit that I have a difficult time looking back. I am grateful that the Lord always steadies me for today and reminds me that He never changes and will be with me today and I'm not to worry about tomorrow. I hold fast to those promises.

However, to look back with thankfulness is a different story. I am thankful for so many things in this last year. I have read through the Bible once again and feel like I found things hidden in God's Word that have helped me immensely.

I am thankful for the opportunities to share my faith with the people we have come into contact with while volunteering at Angel Food Ministries.

I am thankful for my husband and his walk with the Lord being strong this past year. It has blessed my son and I in amazing ways. I am also thankful for his employment and that being such a blessing to him.

I am thankful for my son learning to take time to be with the Lord on his own. And the admission that when he fails to do so, he is not the same and has a harder go of things in this life. I am thankful for the tender Spirit that God has cultivated in this young man.

I am thankful for the diagnosis given of my heart condition and the promptings that it has given me to pray harder for my daughter to come home to the Lord.

I am thankful for bloggy friends. There are some special Christian women out there who have touched my heart. When I began the journey of blogging I did not think that was possible because of past hurts but if I've said it once, I've said it 100 times...God is so good!

These are some of the things I am thankful for in 2008. If you would like to join in this Thankful Thursday post...our hostess is Iris at Grace Alone.

May God bless you this upcoming year. Hugs to you, my sisters!

A beautiful day on the lake!

It was just a beautiful day on the lake today. We have been blessed the last two days with having our son's very good friend, Joseph, over. And the blessings with beautiful weather allowed us to throw on the spring suits and head out to the lake.

Yes, the water was a little cold, but just beautiful! Kimmy, if this doesn't get you here, I don't know what will! lol

This is me snuggling up to the Captain....isn't he a cute guy!!


Joshua stood up on the knee board and tried to pull a 360....he did rotate a few times but didn't come back with the rope! lol Joseph was such an encourager!

Joseph and Joshua.....they had a blast!

Joshua landed this 360.

The cute Captain and his crew. Would you just look at that sky the Lord made for us today! He is so good!

My beloved and me. Again, the Lord is so good.

This is before we left for the lake.....the boys are both Charger fans. I'm so not understanding how my son got wired incorrectly. lol However, we got Joseph this Charger jersey for Christmas and they were outside throwing the football...wearing their jerseys...and talking a whole lot of 'smack' about next weeks game. You see, next week the Chargers play my Colts.

Hey Ang, I had to deal with this all day! I would have been so happy if I could have taken pictures of them in Colts jerseys like you do your Things. lol On a more sincere note, my father's team is also the Colts and Joshua has arranged to take next Sunday off of work and go to spend the day with my father and watch the game with him. He is also buying him a Colts jersey because my Dad does not have one.

I am happy for my son's relationship with my Dad. It warms my heart.

I pray you have had a blessed day in the Lord knowing He is good. Hugs to you!!

Happy New Year

Christmas Greetings

I will be out for the rest of the week so ~ From our home to yours ... God bless you and Merry Christmas!!
