Blessed Monday's

I thought since Monday's tend to be my least favorite day of the week I would use this day to count the blessing's happening in our lives.

Beautiful weather today ~ It's been a long time coming it seems but it's not here to stay I don't think. Back to the 50's tomorrow!

We're winding down our school work now. We will continue to do a few subjects through the summer but this week is prepare for my momma's visit! I can't WAIT!

This is my favorite time of year! Spring is a time of new beginnings, renewed hope and fresh starts. Reminds me of how His mercies are new every morning. For that I'm so thankful.

Flowers are being planted and cut for us to enjoy. My tulips are in full bloom now. I'm amazed at all the beautiful colors these have.


My garden is being planted. The children were very helpful today and hard at work. Charles is actually able to control the rototiller now and he is a rototillin' machine! The soil is nice and worked up and we even got a row of acorn squash planted.


A huge blessing for my heart today is my husband coming home before supper. It's been around the kid's bedtime or later lately. I sure do miss him when he's not here and the little ones had a fun snuggle time with dad. This Friday will be our 22nd anniversary. Seems like yesterday...yet it feels like we've never been apart. I still look forward to him walking through that door. My heart still skips a beat! What a blessing!

I'll leave you with one last thought and a perfect blessing bestowed upon all that will call on His name! My Emmy is quite the artist and this was her blessing for us today. I am told to tell you this was not a smile on Jesus' face, it is his beard. ;-)


Remember to turn your heart to Jesus.

Sunday in Song




O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!

His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!
