Memories in the Making

Isn't it funny children no matter what age usually love to hear a good story.  It has always been a dream of my husband and mine that our children grow up with a health love reading.  I started to instill this love in the heart of my son when he was four days old.  I took time every morning to read a little to him.  He understood only that mommy was taking time out of her busy life to share something that was very important to her and daddy.  As he grew so did his love of stories and later when his sister came along that love of reading was passed to her.  Thanks to the children's aunt the children received some neat Christmas books one Christmas and ever since in the month of Christmas shortly after family devotions you will find me and the children, now 14 and 12 in our big, comfy chair reading one of the many Christmas books.  As I sit and watch their faces it brings such joy to me that these are memories that will never be taken away from me nor my children.  One day they too will have children, my grandchildren and I hope and pray they will start their own Christmas memories.

Christmas Time's A Coming

  

I can't believe Christmas is here once again.  When I was a little girl it seemed that Christmas time never came fast enough and it lasted a lot longer than it does now.  It seems I blink and here it is and blink again and Christmas is over.  I have found though that if you look into the eyes of your children and sometimes your husband I see that Christmas has never really left. 

The Choice

A Thankful Homemaker

 

 

I am a thankful homemaker.  I love making my home smell and look nice. 

A Thankful Mommy

A mommy is a mommy the day that child is conceived.  She is mommy from that day and never stops being a mommy even if God chooses to take one of them home.  I am one blessed mommy to two beautiful children and don't seem to say it enough I love you grasshopper jr. and bessielyn. 

A Thankful Wife

I am thankful this day for the man God gave me.  He is wise and loving.  He is a loving father to his children and a lover to his wife.  He is a man that looks for the answers in the word of God instead of seeking man's answers.  I have seen him grow so much lately and am really enjoying watching his life as he grows closer to the Lord. 

A Month of Thanksgiving

"O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."  Psalms 136:1

In this month of thanksgiving I will blogging about those things that I am thankful for.  I am thankful first and for most that I am a born again child of God.  I received the Lord as my Savior when I was 30 years old.  I came to a point in my life when I realized that I was not capable of saving myself.  That is was not me and God that would save me.  It was in that place I realized that it was God nothing more and nothing less.  Kimberly could do nothing to gain salvation.  You may feel that you have done nothing wrong and that there is no reason to be saved, but God says that "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God..."  if God said that then you know it must mean what it means.  You are in need of Jesus.  Any man/woman that comes any other way Jesus calls them a thief.
