Thankful For Peaceful Evenings

We had so much fun with our son, Harrison and his girl friend, Jessica, and also our son Garrett. We played Uno on our back deck until the sun went down. I am thankful for these precious moments.

The Joy of the Lord is Evident

I am so thankful for my eldest daughter, Victoria! She is such a blessing to me. We have had some fun together lately, painting her living room and shopping together. I praise God for this lovely and godly girl. She brings so much joy to our lives. She loves her husband and she loves Jesus. She has the Spirit of the Living God within her.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.  Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.  Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other." Galations 5:22-26

Sometimes You Just Know

Today I found this wool fitted hooded jacket with pockets. Because of Covid-19, I couldn't try it on, but sometimes, you just know it's right. Well, it is. However, there is a reason someone gave it up. Well, it's the zipper, uh; it separates. I am so glad you asked. Well, I will tell you what I did, you guessed it, I checked YouTube and found that it just needs an adjustment. I am so thankful for $1.00 sales. I love my wool jacket, and yes the zipper will be fixed easily.

"Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

Matthew 9:17 

This is speaking of not holding onto the old ways of Judicial teaching, but understanding Christ as fulfilling Scripture.

I Feel Pretty

I found a burgundy chord skirt, which I love, but I have not had the courage to wear because I'm shy about my legs, plus I had not found the right top to pair it with. Recently, I did find this delightful top, which I adore, so here is the result.

I am so thankful for the St. Vincent de paul thrift stores near me. I paid a grand total of $6.00. I kept my black belt from my 10th year class reunion, so I had that. It is not so important to feel pretty, but I think it is okay if we do. As far as legs go. The fact is, I am short. God made me short for a reason, and I am embracing this. I am thankful I can walk and run. I have some blue noticeable veins, but I would rather have my four babies than perfect legs. God is so good and He keeps us humble. I hope you were able to praise Him in your home or at church this weekend, and that you are all enjoying this Independence Day weekend.

Hair

After 15 weeks I finally got my hair cut and colored. I am thankful for Frank, my hair dresser. 

I pray that Covid-19 will be a thing of the past very soon. I am so thankful we took measures to be safe, and I pray that not a one of us will get this virus.

When in Doubt Make Rhubarb

So, I think I wasted 20 minutes and some gasoline Saturday morning. I should have called our local strawberry stand to see if they were out. I should have known, what all farm wives know, that when it is raining in June, we all have the same idea--get some strawberries and make jam.

Feeling stupid for not calling, I decided to make the best of it. I made a rhubarb pie for my wonderful husband for Father's Day. Now that is time well spent.

 

My husband deserves this pie. He is an excellent father. I am so thankful he is the father of my four children. God has been good to us.
