Day 16

Plants. I love flowers, grass, ferns, and bushes. I enjoy the color and life they add to my day. 

I Love Yarn Day!

Okay, normally I don't get into these small holidays. But I liked this one.

Today is I Love Yarn Day! It's a day to celebrate crafting.

How about we making it a charity day? What about setting aside some time today and making some things for charity? Make a hat for the hat Box Foundation. Make a preemie gown for Faith Hope and Charity Stitches. Or why not volunteer your time.

Ministry Month Challenge Day 14

I was sort of lazy today. I've done some cleaning, cooking, preparing for another day of co-op, answering e-mails, (listening to some fun music) and blog reading. Nothing that I could count for the ministry month challenge. Maybe I'll do something this evening. Anyway I thought that I would write and let you guys know what is going on.

Ministry Month Challenge Day 9

Today I didn't have time to make anything. My family went to help out some of the fire victims in Bastrop. It was a long full day, but it was so neat to see how many people were stepping up to lend a hand. It was amazing.

Ministry Month Challenge Day 8

Today I did co-op again. It's become an all day thing. But I love it. There are so many people I get to touch with God's love. It's neat.

Gratefulness Challenge: Day 21

I'm grateful for a warm bed. At the end of a long day, there's nothing like curling up in my bed and relax.

30 Day Gratefulness Challenge

      Recently I have been reading a book by Nancy Lee DeMoss called Choosing Gratitude. In this book Nancy challenges women to cultivate grateful hearts.

      This has been a wonderful book for me. I thought I had a grateful heart and a thankful attitude, but when I read this book I realized how much I complain and choose to see things in a bad light. But with God’s help I’m trying to become a more grateful person.
      Instead looking at the negatives in my life I try to look at the positives. When I’m sleepily making breakfast, I thank God for all the food resources that I have and for such a wonderful family that I get to cook for. When I’m getting ready for yet another day of teaching co-op, play practice, and helping out, I thank God that I get to teach and love others and that I get to be in a play.
     But I’ve decided to take this one step further. How would you like to take a challenge with me? For the next thirty days find one thing to be grateful for. Even in those things that seemed to be negatives see if you can find something to be thankful for in them.
     Every day for the next 30 days I will post something that I’m grateful for. Feel free to add your own thoughts and things that you are grateful for.
      Have fun, Rose.
