Well, here I am doing 2 days at once again. I did spend time yesterday thinking about what I was going to post, but I never did post it. I’m thankful first to God for my salvation. I take it for granted way too often. It is simply incredible to think that God would reach…
Gratitude Challenge – Day 6
Today was a day I’d been looking forward to. It was our annual Ladies Soup Luncheon at church. This year I got to decorate for the event (along with another lady), and we had a great time doing it. It was a small event, the church is small anyway, but there were a lot of…
Gratitude Challenge Day 4 and 5
Sadly, I only made it 3 days without skipping a day in the Gratitude Challenge. Not because I wasn’t grateful, but I never had time for a post. So today I’ll be thankful for 2 things. Actually, I think they will be related to each other. I am thankful for electricity and hot water! Though…
Gratitude Challenge – Day 3
Since I wrote a review on a book about hospitality, I think it’s only fitting that today I am thankful for my home. Although I sometimes wish we had more space, I am thankful that I don’t have more space to clean. I love the large bedrooms for the kids, especially since we only have…
The Reluctant Entertainer by Sandy Coughlin
When I saw the title of this book, it immediately sounded like something I needed to read. I want to have people over, but something always seems to get in my way. We’re too busy. We don’t have enough room. We can’t afford it. My house isn’t nice enough. You may have used some of…
Gratitude Challenge – Day 2
Today I am thankful for a husband that not only wants to spend time with me, but has time to spend with me this evening. So I’d better go 🙂 By Kristen H.
2010 Gratitude Challenge
Brenda at Garden of Learning is hosting a gratitude challenge for the month of November. I’ve participated in a similar challenge for the past couple of Novembers. I find it to be a great exercise to take the time to remember some things I’m thankful for, so I’ll do my best to post daily. My…
Results of my Mental Health Day
Why call it a “Mental Health Day”? This was the term some of the teachers my husband used to work with used when they were taking a sick day when the weren’t really “sick”. My borrowing the term does not mean that I condone this use of sick days, but I did get my “sick”…
Mental Health Day
Tomorrow I’m taking a mental health day. We’ve been doing fairly well at getting school done every day. But I just need some time off. I still feel like I’ve been rushing around to do things, but accomplishing nothing. First thing on tomorrow’s agenda…renew my driver’s license. Exciting huh? The good news is my husband…
Bringing Up Bobby – Movie Review
I was recently offered the opportunity to review new Christian films. Not being one who likes to turn down review opportunities, I agreed. Then I started to wonder if I was the best person to ask. You see the problem is I haven’t seen many “Christian” films that I like. I have found that most…
