And now we're back in a slightly chilly south Louisiana after a glorious weekend in Texas!
Getting myself and the kids back into our regular daily routine isn't the battle I was thinking it would be.  I am thankful for that!
What are you up to today?

The stars at night are big and bright....

Deep in the heart of Texas! 
This is where I woke up this morning.
I just love Texas.  I hope to move to Texas in the future.
Hopefully in the NEAR future.  I always hope and dream it'll be day after tomorrow.

We would like to build a metal building home on our property.  We already have the plans drawn out.  It's just getting the money saved to DO it.  See, John and I don't believe in going into debt, not even for a house.  DEBT is a ball and chain to your life.
So we're going to keep trusting in God for a financial miracle.  Our God is mighty, able, and willing. Psalm 37:4  I will never give up believing, hoping, and trusting.  I will receive my house.  WE will receive our house!
Somewhere inside the green circle - will be a house.  I am looking forward to that day!!!!  So many plans and ideas.  Looking forward to implementing those plans and ideas! 

Tidings of Comfort and JOY!!!!

Good Morning once again!

While I'm quite sure I won't be blogging every single day, I was so excited about blogging yesterday, I decided to do it again today.  LOL

The boys have eagerly been anticipating this day due to the fact that "Disney's Cars 3" came out on digital.  Guess what they're currently doing while I blog?  That's right, and then we'll have school.  I call this "bliss"!

I have a lot to do as we're going to Texas for the weekend.  I am looking forward to seeing our Texas family and friends.  They each mean the world to me.

So until then, I will try my hand at making a KNIT raglan shirt.  Yes.  You read that right.  Linda is going to try sewing with knit.  I made a lace jacket over the weekend. Surely if I can do that I can sew with knit.  My life is never dull.  Unless you don't like sewing. LOL

Two months from today is CHRISTMAS EVE!!!  I feel like I'm already behind on my gifts and such.  Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite holidays of the year.  I'm sure nobody knew that.
I have several Christmas ornaments I'd like to sew, as well as our Christmas stockings, and a tree skirt.  Not to mention other clothing articles I'd like to work on.
My wish is to someday be the proud owner of an embroidery machine!!  I would love to be able to personalize my sewing projects.  Some day will come for me!  I shall remain content with what I do have. I am very very grateful for my sewing machine. 

By the way, if you don't mind sharing your Thanksgiving recipes and menus, please comment with those!  My daughter Lydia and I have been compiling our Thanksgiving menu.  Turkey and dressing, mashed potatoes, giblet gravy, broccoli/cheese/rice casserole, rolls.  The desserts will be chocolate pie, cherry cheesecakes, and probably chocolate chip (homemade of course) cookie or a plain chocolate cake for the little boys.  They don't like anything good! LOL

Tidings of comfort and joy!!!

Monday Monday!!!

Good Morning!

I realize it's been forever since I've blogged.  I hope to change that.

I am so excited it's FALL now!  We even have fall temps to boot.
We've already broken out the pumpkin spice everything, as well as the Christmas music.
Life is pumpkin sweet, as well as good!

Some of you may be surprised that we're listening to Christmas music already.
I found a youtube video that plays the good Christmas music for over 11 hours!  I wonder how long it took to upload it.  LOL
But when I hear lyrics, "God rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay, remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day, to save us all from Satan's power"!  Yes!!  That!!
"O tidings of comfort and joy"!!  Who doesn't need comfort and joy in the world we're living in today?  These songs lift my spirit, and even though I already have the joy of the Lord dwelling in my heart, these songs just add to that ever increasing joy!!  It makes me so excited about Christmas!
Also, I just LOVE babies.  To think that my Savior left the splendor of Heaven to come to earth for me, as a precious, tiny newborn baby is quite overwhelming to think about.  Oh how much He loves us.  We need to get a revelation of that love.  It's definitely overwhelming.
"Oh come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord".  Yes, let's adore Him.  After everything He's done for us, I can't help but lavish my love on Him, and adore Him.

Well, can you believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner??  I l. o. v. e. Thanksgiving!  I am so thankful for the Lord and all He's done for me.  We have a lot to be thankful for.

Beginning either Thanksgiving night or the next night, be watching for my Facebook Lives.  We have something very special we will be sharing with you then!!  You won't want to miss it!!!
So until then....

Tidings of Comfort and Joy!
