Attitude of Blessings

Today, I am walking with an attitude of being thankful!
 I have noticed when I am walking in complete thankfulness,
God astounds me with his blessings!

 I am thankful for my wonderful family!

Happy Birthday Ellie

Time flies. I can't believe Ellie is about to turn 15. I remember like yesterday when she was born, c-section because she was breech. I remember her first work, "yum", her first pooty under an umbrella, how she was scared of any kind of face painted on a wall ANYWHERE we went. I remember how FUNNY she has always been and is still hilarious.  She has the perfect shaped bald baby head when she was born, people would stop me and tell me she was beautiful. Time flies.
 I love you Ellie. You have become such a sweet young lady and I love how you love God, family and friends.
 Happy Birthday!

For My Friends Struggling with Depression

try to take a step

toward fulfilling

your dreams

this will help

take away how

depression makes

things seem

Run through the yard!

 Our dogs are driving me crazy! They want to go outside and just sit there. They whine, bark, stare at me, try to get in my lap....just to go outside and then they don't want to get off the porch.
 I wonder if this is how God feels when we miss opportunities. When we beg for the best and then he gives it to us and we aren't satisfied or won't get off the porch. Just wondering. I think a lot...I do know God loves us regardless of whether we get off the porch or not!!!

The Sky

I've been sky watching again lately. I feel like God talks to my from the clouds. I know this may sound weird but we are all wired differently and when I say talk, I mean , I am aware of his awesome presence when I look at the beautiful colors of the sunset or the different shapes of the clouds. I love and take time to notice colors painted by the greastest artist ever!
Please take time to notice something that will inspire you! There is beauty all around.

 

Peace Chasing
