Thanksgiving at Tina's

We had a wonderful time but missed my honey he had to work.We fixed him up with some goodies for when he gets off.
Tina worked hard and the kids did great on their delectable dishes Levi made some really good stuffing with sausage and Garrett's corn casserole was all gone.Everyone pitched in I got to make homemade noodles and a broccoli casserole.No shortage of good food.So thankful for our family.
Tina decided this year the women were going to make something instead of the children.We had fun and every ones wreath turned out different and unique.Some thought no way I can't craft but as you can see in the picture great job.What a way to end the afternoon.
God truly blessed us all hope you had a bless your socks off day too!

Prayers

It has been awhile.Lots has happened.
My honey was told he has the "c" word
cancer what can I say he will have surgery
within a couple of weeks and Dr is hopeful
he will get all of it.The best part he was
their for me now it is my turn to be their
for him.How great is love and a covenant we
made 35 years ago,this is what it is all about.
We will put our hope in the Lord and pray all
will be well.We know Gods mercy and grace are
new each morning.
Please remember my honey in your prayers.The
picture is honey's sister and honey and his brother.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and
I am so thankful for my family and friends,
May God bless your socks off each and everyone!

Home is where my heart is

What a week ! Got back from a great visit with friends we packed shoe boxes at their church and went to a baby shower Sat.I so enjoy the folks at church I feel like it is my church family away from home.It is a small church and oh so friendly.
While I was there we also went goodwill shopping and checked out a couple of mission stores as well.Found a couple of tops for me and a pacer shirt for my honey.
Got home Tue eve and both my honeys were glad to see me.
Honey was off Wed. and Thurs. Thurs we just up and decided to go to a movie went to see Fireproof.Good movie to see with your honey.

Good Times

Left Fri morning to go to good friends Shirley and Mr Brad.They live in the house in the woods.It is beautiful even though the trees are loosing their leaves. Still have lots of birds especially woodpeckers.Shirley always makes sure to keep the birds and animals fed.Today I made homemade noodles and chicken,mashed potatoes,peas and hot rolls and cranberry sauce.We pigged out and Shirley invited folks from up the road from them for dinner too and we still have noodles left. Got a fire in the fireplace and kicking back makes for good conversation.Got to go now and enjoy the fire.
Hope the Lord blessed your socks off today !

Great News

A sweet couple I know just got home with their new daughter and boy are they glad to be back in the good ol USA.
You see Sadie is from Viet Nam and they have waited for a long time to bring her home.Their son is so excited to have a sister and they are adjusting quite well.
It is sad when we have to go out of country to adopt but this is what worked for them.
My prayers go out to anyone who adopts sometimes the journey is tough but well worth the reward.I love my family and so proud of all of them.
May the Lord bless your socks off today !

Girls Day Out

Here we are at the Mellow Mushroom we had a great time together
lots of girl talk.Never get to old for lunch with a wonderful group of gals.Food was good too.We were sorry all could not be with us,maybe next month.Most of us go to the same church and some of us belong to same home group makes for good conversations.We are all at a special place in our lives and so good to know someone will listen and give good advice when we need it. I took the picture so not in it,maybe next time.
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say Rejoice Rvsd Stndrd May God bless your socks off today !

Got to Pendleton

Hubby and I went to Pendleton yesterday to see Tina's booth. Couldn't resist one of her word frames,so many to choose from but I like this one Faithful just spoke to me. God is so Faithful. Makes me think of friends and family and home group. Yes there are wonderful Faithful people and I am fortunite to know a few.
We came home and I had the perfect place for the word frame.It sets right accross from my chair love being reminded. Faithful what does it mean to you? Strong's dictionary of bible words says trustworthiness, steadyness,to be firm,true,trustworthy reliable. Glory ! Doesn't that give you peace. Yep, God is still in control.May he bless your socks off today !

All closed up

We got back yesterday afternoon.Always hard to close up especially when the weather was so warm and sunny,but I am not for doing without water and caring it in.Got me spoiled.Dick is talking about going back in couple of weeks to put an extra cover on his fishing boat.I will stay behind.Fixed the pork roast and trimmings in crock pot was really good and Terry got there just in time for dinner.We had a couple of big fires in our fire pit,yep burned up some wood and it was beautiful.
Back to reality now.
Got to visit a young boy 8 yrs old today at Riley Childrens Hospital,what a trooper he is fighting cancer and has been since 2005.Met his family too, great support system,really nice folks.Got to pray with him .What a privilage.
Thank you Lord for the Needles of Faith Ministry.May we continue to bring you glory !
