Thank You, God

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of my page and turn off the player to listen to this song. It's one of my all-time favorite hymns, but I found this in an instrumental with the slide show and it's beautiful.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

To me, this is what Thanksgiving Day is all about. Being with family and friends and sharing what we are thankful for.

This year I am very thankful for:

• our health. No one had to be put in the hospital!
• the men and women in our military who still believe in America and fighting for our freedoms.
• as always, I am thankful for God sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for us and is now sitting at the right Hand of God interceding for us.

Do you have something you are especially thankful for this year?

May you and your families have a blessed Thanksgiving!!!!

Pssst...

My husband has encouraged me to continue blogging, but I don't plan to start back just yet. I have contemplated a few changes and have made some during my blog re-decorating. Another change is that I am not going to pressure myself into feeling as if I have to blog every day. I know that I don't have to, but it was a goal set for me, by me. No longer is that my goal. I will blog when I have some of the following things to post about:

• New links I find relative to the homemaker


• More recipes and pictures


• More pictures of crafts I complete and their pattern link (if available)


• Links to good posts found on other bloggers' sites.


• Articles about PTSD for military wives to better understand their husband's personality changes since coming home from war. Also, things I have been through regarding this subject, with the hope of helping another wife.


• Always included will be about my love for Jesus Christ and His Love for us all.

Until next time...

Time to Close

EDIT: My daughter and another friend has suggested that instead of deleting my blog completely, to leave it up and disable comments so that anyone new stumbling upon it can read the info or check out links that I've accumulated over the years. I've decided to do this, as it will leave a window open if I should ever decide to take up blogging again. I will leave comments open for a couple of weeks and then disable it. If you should be interested in staying in touch with me and don't already have my email address, then leave me a comment with your email and I'll send it to you. I won't publish your comment with your email address. I will be the only one to see it. I'm going to miss everyone!

This year has been a rather busy one and blogging has been put on the back burner more times than I'd like. For months I've been considering closing down this blog and have finally decided it's time. With aging parents who will need more of my help and attention, a husband that I'm spending more time with, thanks to God and the therapy he is receiving for PTSD, I feel my time should be spent with them.

I plan to leave the page up for a couple of weeks, so if there are any recipes you'd like to copy, please feel free.

I've been blogging since December 2006 and have *met* a lot of great ladies whom I consider true friends. I hope you will continue to keep in touch when you can by emailing me and I will stop by your blogs when time allows.

Love and {{HUGS}},

Attention All Bloggers

Do you ever read the Blogger Buzz on your dashboard? I very seldom do, but should. I happened to look at it today and found an interesting article that I wanted to share with any of you who didn't see this. Click here to read an article on keeping your blog secure and safe.

What Kind of Attitude Do You Have?

Jesus with Mary and Martha

To all Christian women who desire to become a Godly woman and are sincerely seeking to change their attitudes that are not Godly, I would like to direct you to an audio sermon here.

How you act around your husband and how you treat him speaks loudly to others about your spiritual condition and relationship with God. Your children are the main witnesses. Are you living what you teach your children? Do you think your husband needs to change some of his ways? The ONLY way you will ever see your husband change is for YOU to change and be the woman of God He made you to be. Women have the power of influence but you have to wield that power with the right attitude in order for it to work.
