Black Friday

Wow, thanksgiving 2011 is in the books. Now it's time to do our Christmas planning and shopping.
Normally our family doesn't do much shopping today, but I am looking forward to the new holiday season.
I pray that in the coming weeks God will help me to be able to spread joy and good news wherever I go.
Let's be on the lookout for ways that we can bless others this holiday season. Even if it's just giving a few dollars to a bell ringer, volunteering at a soup kitchen, or spending some extra time with family.

Happy Thanksgiving

I just wanted to say, Happy Thanksgiving. As you celebrate and spend time with family, remember to thank Him for His many blessings! May God bless you and keep you, Rose

Over the years I’ve known many moms who have had new kids. A new baby is always such a sweet thing. There’s such excitement and anticipation that comes with having a new child. No matter if it’s number 1 or 8, each child is a blessing.

I like doing something special for new moms. While having babies is a joy, it can also be a little stressful making sure that everything gets ready for the baby.

Here are some things that you can do for the new mothers in your life.

1.       Make them a baby blanket.

2.       Put together a new mother basket. Put in things like bath salts, tea, lotions, candles, and other things to help her to relax.

3.       Make them a baby bonnet.  They can use it for the baby’s dedication day.

4.       Offer to go over and clean house. This can be really helpful for mothers who have little kids. Cleaning house and watching kids can be a great blessing.

5.        Make them meals after the birth. While they are recovering, the meals are taken care of.

One Day...

Just a short thought for your day.
Here we work hard, we give, we pray, we volunteer, we work with our hands. Sometimes it seems like it's one drop in the ocean. That it doesn't do any good.

But one day, when we meet our Savior we will see what we did on earth in a new light. We will see all the good that was accomplished, all the souls touched, and all the joy that we spread. One day we'll see all this and be amazed at all that God did through us. 

For now, press on. Keep looking to Him. Don't give up!

Encouragement Verse

Whatever you do work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord not for men. Since you know that you will receive from the Lord a reward. - Colossians 3:23
