Snowflakes and Geese

One day this week it snowed very nicely and peacefully. As my children and I walked to school in the morning we were trying to catch some snowflakes on our tonuges, except that it really does not work. We enjoyed the walk and the beauty of it all. It was also so joyful. Once at the school, suddenly we heard some Canadian Geese flying above and coming in our direction, but it was not south they were flying, it was east. I believe that will be the last batch of geese I will see till spring, cause the ponds are frozen, especially after today with a -15 temperature in the morning. Canadian Geese are beautiful and wonderfully made by God. The day was beautiful with the snow.

Flowers & Rain

SPRING--The weather has sure been very nice this spring. I have enjoyed Spring this year and can hardly even been at the computer or inside because of the nice weather. Now it is the long-weekend and it is a cool weekend, but that did not stop me from planting the garden and the flowers. I am looking forward to seeing the garden grow and the flowers blossom. Planted another Hosta in the flower bed next to the house where I get a lot of shade. Spring is wonderful with all the leaves coming out and the tulips showing up. Then there is also the rain in Spring that makes the grass and the leaves look greener, plus refreshing. Spring reminds me of the song How Great Thou Art, because of God's creation of the World. Spring time makes me want to Praise and Worship the Lord Almighty; and be outdoors.

I may only be back at the end of summer, so enjoy Spring and Summer and Glorify God in the things you do during that time. If I am back before that it might be on a rainy day or hot day when one wants to be inside where it can be cool with AC.
Enjoy the wonderful weather God gives us, God Bless.

The Old Rugged Cross

At Easter time there are so many hymns that I like to sing about my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and one of those is the Old Rugged Cross. My pastor gave a message on this hymn a couple of weeks ago. He gave four points of misconceptions at odds with "The Cross". It was interesting to hear a message on this. The key thought was: The Old Rugged Cross opposes every natural inclination of ours, yet when accepted, set us free. The song is not just a nice song. Lets remember what Jesus Christ did on the cross for us.

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, The emblem of suffring and shame; And I love that Old cross where the dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was slain.(first verse in song)

In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see; For twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died to pardon and sanctify me.(third verse)

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown.(Chorus)

I am always moved when I sing this song and other songs about Jesus shedding his blood for my sins. I thank the Lord that He is part of my life and through Him I am sanctified.

Swimming Day

Seeing that this week is Spring Break I figured to treat my children to something special during the week. Today being that day. We went to the closest mall to us to check out a store that the children have been wanting to see. It being called Build A Bear Worshop. They enjoyed looking at everything and knew that I was not about to buy one for them. Maybe someday. After that we went and had lunch at the food court which was another treat plus checked out other stores. Then it was off to the Swimming Pool. The children enjoyed themselves and so did I till I felt the air above me being to cold. We did spend a little time in the hot tub which the children enjoyed as well, cause it was so nice and warm. Swimming today was very relaxing and time well spent with my children away from home. After our time at the pool we went home so I could get some supper ready before picking up my husband from work. By the time the children went to bed all of us where tired. My daughter said "I had the most wonderful day of my life today", when I kissed her good night, which I do believe she did have. We are thankful today that the weather we had was not as bad as it was expected first thing in the morning, but had a blessed day in the things we did.

Boot Prints in the Snow

I recall some days in February when it snowed during the day while the children were at school I was at home for the day doing some of my household tasks and my family project whiled it snowed. I watched it snow throughout the day. The Mailman came and went while it snowed. I saw his boot prints in the snow after he left my house, but they were gone in matter of time. It still continues to snow throughout the day that by the time I have to leave to get my children from School there was about an inch or more of snow. Enough that I needed to shovel the walk. When I stepped out of my yeard and onto the sidewalk I notice that there were no prints in the snow. Nobody had been out along the sidewalk. As I continue to walk and look back I noticed only my boot prints in the snow. Oh, how beautiful the path looks before me, the snow not disturbed, just a blanket of white. It seemed to be a shame to be putting boot prints in the snow. It looked so beautiful. Once I had my children and we were walking home oh, how I saw many boot prints in the snow. (People go in many ways in life, just like these boot prints do.) Now as the snow is melting there are lots of puddels and no more boot prints in the snow.
My version of how I saw snow along a path to walk in the Winter.

NOT A SUPERMOM

JUST A HOMEMAKER that enjoys the things a Mom should do when being at home. I have not regreted being a Stay At Home Mom. I have gotten to see all the first things with my children and was there when they needed a hug or the comfort they needed at the time.
The reasons I enjoy being a Homemaker is becasue I ENJOY the baking, cooking, cleaning the house and doing the laundry. Then there is also the sewing I ENJOY. The enjoyment is seeing the garment coming into shape of what it should look like and also providing the clothing for my family. I don't entirely see myself as a Wife of Noble Character in Proverbs 31:10-31, because I don't get up early to make my husband breakfeast or get his lunch ready. But the only thing I see in verse 15 that I do is to make sure meals are made, and other foods are available.
On the Spiritual side I try and do my best to teach my children the Chrisitan values the Bible teaches and I honour my husband.
There was one day I told my daughter what I was going to do during the day and she replied "that sounds like a busy day," and I figured what a cute remark.
I also like to be organized with some of the things I do in my household. Some days I might have a lot of things to do and then other days not much. Those days when I have lots to do and get to it all, I am exhausted by the end of the day (is this a supermom?) I think of it as, those things required my attention that day and needed to be done. Another reason why I enjoy being a homemaker is because of what I saw in the home I grew up in. My Mom was at home and I guess she showed me the things that a Mom did. I often did work next to her with some things, so I guess I am just continuing this on in my household. It also gave me a security that I was loved and cared for. So therefore I am wanting to give that same security to my children especially in this day and time when society is protraing that Mom's can have a career and be a Mom. Mom's miss out a lot when they have a career, cause they may not have that time in the evenings to spend the time with their children. If I did have a job during the day, when would I do my baking, cooking, cleaning or even sew for that matter, I would not, cause there would hardly be any time for all that plus spending quality time with my children. I have never been eager to have a career, just wanting to be a helping hand to those that need help. My priority is my family first. May God Bless you if you are a Mom who is at home. Our Children Need Us.

I'm Back

Hello, I am back, but not a regular basis. I have been busy with my children and working on my family project which is on going. I am not a writer, cause words just don't come to me of what I sometimes want to say and I can not express the words enough like some writers can. There are people that are gifted with writing and I am not one of those. My hat is off to those that can write and enjoy blogging lots. There will be times I will have something to say. I guess my motto is if you can't say something nice don't say it(the golden rule).
