One Day at a Time

The other day I was having a "bad day" and right in the middle of being mad and feeling sorry for myself I said "NO, This is NOT the kind of life that I want and since life is made of days then this is not the kind of day I am going to have" So I turned on MY Hope Radio and the rest of my day was good. Sometimes you can't change your circumstance but you can ALWAYS change your attitude.

When I was a little girl my parents would sing together and one of the songs that they would sing was One Day at a Time. It was really more of my mom singing and my dad howling but I digress. lol For those of you who do not know this song it goes something like this.
One day at a time sweet Jesus
Thats all I'm asking from you
Give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do
Yesturday gone sweet Jesus
And Tommorrow may never be mine
So for my sake teach me to take
One day at a time

I have a lot of things to post and I will try to catch up this week.

Back Home

Well we are back at home now. My children and I are definitely home bodies. When we walked in the front door my 2yr old said "MY HOME!" I enjoyed being with my mom and seeing The Boatmans.
My dad is still very sick. He is going to go from the hospital to a nursing home. He needs lots of prayers.
God doesn't always change the situation sometimes he changes you. I pray God always changes me for the better even while he is changing the situation.

New Quote and Scripture

I don't know if you guys have noticed but I have added a Quote of the Week and a Scripture of the Week on the left side of my blog.

Here's an extra one for free.
"In season's of change you either bloom or die"
me


OH yea my dad is in the hospital/emergency room right now. He needs prayer.

Buddha

I was reading through some of my old college books and I found this quote.

"We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves."
Siddhartha Gautama

I really like it and then I found out that Buddha said it so I asked my husband "If you quote Buddha does that make you a Buddhist?" Then he reminded me of this scripture..

Pro 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:....

So I'm Christian again!!!

Anyways just thought I would leave with this quote and scripture. It is still good no matter who said it. Hope everyone has a good night and Sunday.

Too Blessed not 2 B Happy

You ladies will NEVER believe what happened to us tonight. I am sitting here in shock!!

We were at linens n things just looking around and this guy walks up to my husband and says "Me and my wife watched you and your family walk in here and we just wanted to give you this" and hands my husband some money.
My husband says thank you and asks the man if he could pray for him. The man said yes so my husband laid his hands on him and prayed for him. He started speaking in tongues and everything right there in the middle of the store.
We talk for a little bit and the man says "I want to give you this too" and he hands my husband more money. My husband thanked him again and tells him we will be praying for him. We get his name and he leaves.
A minute later he says "I feel led to give you all the money in my pocket" and hands my husband his change and all.
About 15 minutes later the man comes back into the store and says me and my wife discussed it and we want to write you a check for your ministry.
My husband and the man talk for a while and my husband got a really good chance to witness and invite him to church.
I have never seen anything like that in my life. I am still in shock!


OH yea and to top it all off the lady at the resturant liked me (I guess) and gave me a senior discount. lol

Too Blessed to be Depressed

I have been in a really funky mood lately.

Nobody likes me everybody hates me think I'll go eat worms kind of mood.

Last night I was laying in my bed unable to go to sleep because my children went to bed the first time I put them there and I had all this extra time I didn't know what to do with. I started thinking how blessed I am.

All during the day things happen that truely are blessings. Nathan says the cutest things; like he doesn't want to spend his money he wants to spend my money. Kevin comes up with the funniest things to do; like shooting something on my stove (thankfully he didn't actually do that one) I try not to laugh and encourage him but it really is funny. Braeden is learning all about his world; he got both his hands and one leg stuck together with rubber glue. And all of that was just yesterday!!! Most days I laugh all day long at what my children say, do or get themselves into.

And then I have a wonderful mother who I talk to several times a day. I have an Aunt Linda who loves me very much and would not want me to eat worms. I have a sister who is a lot of fun to be around. And then there is my most precious husband who could not treat me any better than he already does.

I am not even going to go into the monetary blessings that God has given me.
OK maybe one. I noticed this one yesterday.
We have been keeping a budget spreadsheet to see where all of our money goes. Well yesterday I was looking and we have spent about $200 more than his check was and we didn't go into to debt. That is the blessing you get from paying your tithes. Your money goes sooooo much further.

Sorry such a long post I am just feeling very blessed this morning. I will leave you with Anita Renfroe.
