Girlfriends

Today I went to a Spring Ladies Lunch at the church we have been going to for the last 7 months. OK I admit I was reluctant as this church is BIG for my liking and I know a few people and I confess that even though I like the church I picked it because of my kids - especially my oldest who needed a place to learn and grow in the Lord with kids his age.
I thought it was just lunch and fellowship. I was WRONG! They had a table decorating contest and I must say that there are some crafty folks at our church. The most important part was the speaker. She ministers to ladies about growing together and reaching out to other women. She talked about how much wisdom we have lost due to the fact that younger ladies do not fellowship with older ladies. She discussed the differences between the older generation and the younger generation. How the Internet and the "connections" are technical instead of personable. We have to adjust our styles and how we NEED each other. God instructs us to fellowship with younger and older women. We don't do that like we should. I have a few girlfriends that I know would do anything I ask - but I confess that I let LIFE and JUNK get in the way of that connection. I am going to challenge myself to try and seek out others to help me on my journey as well as others that I may also touch. I pray that you all have a great week! Call your girlfriend!!!

God is SO good

Hey! I just wanted to share with you that God is go good.  I don't have any amazing news or anything like that.  This morning I decided to sit outside and drink my coffee for a few minutes and I was blessed with so much of God's creation I can't explain it all.  I was able to see the sun creeping up through the trees.  I saw "our" bunny munching on our clover in the yard.  I took deep breaths and listened to the birds.  I said my prayers and thanked God for this day ahead.  Even though we get bogged down with all of the negative there is a constant - God works his wonders to bring about His beauty in this sometimes ugly world.  He is so powerful and brilliant! May you all have a blessed day!

Love,

It's me again..

Sorry it has been awhile...We have had an awful illness strike our household and I have not had the time or energy to blog. My lil man came home last Wednesday with the stomach virus, he missed the Zoo. I went with my princess and my big boy to the zoo and we had a blast. All seemed to be well, we were preparing for a great Easter Celebration with my sister - until 2:00am Sunday morning when princess came in our room sick. So we celebrated Easter at home. My neighbor cooked a ham and some veggies and I made mashed potatoes and cake. We had a quiet dinner with just us. I had to stay home Monday - thought everything was OK, until I got weak and felt VERY ill. My hubby came home as soon as he could and it was off to bed I went - for nearly 24 hours! I feel OK, just weak. So the kiddos went back to school and I am at work - with a tall mountain of work to make up. I will say this - my naturopath dr prescribed Ginger tea and I doubled my dosage of probiotics - I am feeling pretty good considering all that has happened. She said that my immune system was probably low due to the lack of sleep I have had with all of these sick lil ones and the stresses of all of that and being worried about work. So there you have it.
I hope all of you have a blessed day!
Love;
