I am listening

This was posted on the Joyce Meyer facebook page today. I just love how God can reach us through many outlets. I needed to hear this today..well everyday!

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" -Matthew 6:33 

Spending time with God is the key to our strength and success in all areas of life. Be sure that you never try to work God into your schedule, but always work your schedule around Him. -Joyce

New Blog

I have started a new blog. This one is a place where I can share crafts, tutorials and printables. I honestly follow so many crafty blogs that I need a better outlet to share all of them rather than on my family blog. I hope you will follow Crafty Chatter!

Memorial Day

"Greater love has no one than this,

that he lay down his life for his friends."

- John 15:13

 

Achoo!

So we finally have a slow..er weekend and I get sick! This cold came out of nowhere and hit me hard. The plus side is that is has me really doing a whole lot of nothing. The kids and I snuggled in my bed and watched movies today. And that is some good medicine! Just me and my loves.

Memorial Day 2011

Human history has proven time and again that freedom is not free. Freedom demands a price, and that price is blood. Blood has been, and always will be the price of a free people. Today, I am thankful to the warriors, past and present, who have paid that price. However, I bow my heart, my knee, my mind, in worship and gratitude to Christ who has set me free from the penalty of law and sin.

 Today Is a day we set aside to remember those who have served this great land. I can honestly say that as a former Army wife..there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about the men and women on our armed services. I am proud to be an American and I am a proud to have held the title Army wife.  

Today I think fondly on the men I know and have known who have served this great land. My Grandfather's Everett Pilkington (Army) & William Porter (Navy), My husband Sgt. Jeffrey L Chrisman (Army), Sgt. Jerry C***(Army), SFC Mike C*****(Army retired) & Sgt Robert G***** (Army). My son in love and another dear young man who are both still on active duty so I won't mention their names. But these are just a handful of the men I am proud to know. 

God Bless our Veterans and God Bless the U.S.A!

Their coming home!!

I am just a little excited that Cassie and family will be here in 34 days! I can't wait to get my arms around all four of them! The kids are beyond over the moon..WE JUST CAN'T WAIT!!

Not only have we been blessed with a week of Summer Camp at Mount Hermon this summer but so have Cassie and RW. They are going to leave the boys with us and take this much needed week together to get refreshed in the Lord and each other. I am so very happy for them. And a BIG thank you to our dear friend Julie who helped make it happen for them.  We are so blessed to have the most amazing friends!
