A "God Breeze"

Image
By
I'm so excited! I read Donna's blog and got some serious inspiration today. God's timing is so perfect. In our family devotions this week, we've been focusing on 1 Corinthians 13--specifically "love is long suffering and kind." Something we are working on around here. So perplexing to me how I can be so polite and pleasant to virtual strangers and friends, but it's so much harder with those I live with. And Donna gave an amazing example of kindness on her blog today, so I'm going to read her post for the kids tomorrow during our devotional time. Talk about a random act of kindness. Then I want to make a tally chart (for kindness and patience) and the kids and I--I know, hard to believe that I need to work on those areas--not! ;) We'll get to put a tally mark on it when we are patient and/0r kind to someone. It will be on the honor system. It's just a way to help us to remember during the day to work at it so that at some point it will become more of a habit. Soooo, thank you, Donna! God used you today!

Thanks for the shout out. But I must admit that I can not recall not even one blog where I would have inspired kindness. But I am glad you got something from it! :)

That is awesome!!! At our church, we encourage the children to go above and beyond.. even if it means picking up trash in the neighborhood park.. or helping mom with groceries.. For doing this (they document them in their folder signed by parent) they receive "church money" which is good for the store.. with such neat toys.. they are sure to love!!! Its an incentive to do the right thing and get rewarded for it!! They also receive awards! But what a great thing to teach children!!! Our time is of value especially when we help those in need.

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Another Layout

Credits here . Can you tell how I've been spending my free time :) I had the most fun taking these pictures! I just asked Ashley to tell me a story (she is quite the storyteller and quite the drama queen--she takes after her aunt, lol!) . As she was telling her GREAT story, I just used the "continuous" mode in the fancy, shmancy camera and shot away. Went to Seal Beach today with Teena . So fun and relaxing. Why don't I have pictures to share? Ummm, I kind of forgot the CF card (to store the pictures on) at home. That's only the second time in less than a week that I've done that. Aren't you proud of me?! In case any of you were wondering, yes, I am a total "spaz." :)
