Saturday....at Lego town...

It has been a very dreary weekend...so we decided to visit Lego town that was on display at our local Fair Grounds. I know that I personally have never seen so many Lego's in one place.....we had a real good time. Now... my husband had a great time looking at each display and talking to most of the men that were there. It was an over all great family event...

Prayer Journal......

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out it's root by the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes: it leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8

I spent this morning reading Gods word...there is so much in the news lately that is so nice to go back and look at God's promises... I took this picture a few days ago and although there is no green leaves on the trees just yet... the trees are planted near the water....I have seen this creek go dry for many weeks on end ...and the trees are still the same as if there were water in it all the time.

There is so much in this passage of scripture but what I notice this morning is the wording of Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him....Not only should we trust but we should be confident that He will take care of us......I know for a fact that God is taking care of us...I have seen him work in my life and other peoples lives around me.

 I have decided to keep a prayer journal by my bed ...I am not using this journal as a diary but as journal to only keep prayers in ....at bed time I think back about my day and think of who I saw or what I might have heard about someone and I add that persons name to my list and beside each name is a prayer request. I have done this for a week now....I have so many names in my journal..some of the people I don't know personally... I see them and just know that they need prayer so they are placed in my prayer journal.  There was a lady on the news on Monday that passed away suddenly leaving her husband to raise their 12 children..her husbands name is on my list. On Easter morning there was a young lady with her Mother that was so uncomfortable being in church her name is on my list....no I might not know her exact name she is given the name girl with the head band....but God knows her name..smile.. For some reason it feels good to write each name down and having that confidence that God hears each name brought to Him.........

Thank you for taking the time to read this post reader..I hope it inspires you to have a prayer journal...we can never have too much prayer.....smile..

Many Blessings to you,

Our Weekend........

I hope you had a wonderful weekend reader..I know we did. We spent most of the day outdoors on Saturday ...I think that first step outside after winter ....it can be so over whelming there is so much to do:) We did work on the chicken coop...we are letting grass grow in our big chicken pasture....so we had to add on to our coop to move them over to our little chicken tractor. The chickens are now enjoying fresh spring grass.

I walked around the yard looking at all that needs to be done before the leaves start growing on the trees:) We only own 1 acre but...that can be too much if you want everything to look nice:) We really need  to begin burning there are so many  broken tree branches that fell during the winter...and we need to tend to the land near our creek..it has gotten a little out of control.

Our daughters enjoyed coloring eggs like every year...I doubt they will ever grow to old to dye eggs..Easter is one of our favorite holidays!! This year our cat Macy enjoyed  watching all the eggs dipped in colors...

We woke up early for Sunday school and church...Every year our daughters get a basket even though we don't eat sugar. They are now getting older so the goodies this year were i tunes cards,a gift card to their favorite clothing store, socks and a Christian Book.

We had a wonderful church service almost every seat was full....then a good lunch with my mom and family. I think this year was a little extra special since my step-dad hasn't been feeling so well....it made being with my family more of a blessing :)   We don't get to be with all of our  family much and it really makes me sad that we don't get to spend special moments being together... because life now gets to be so busy.

When I was younger we had to live with my grandma and every holiday was small but our family was always together not on cell phones texting  but talking, not just spending an hour or two but all day. Times sure have changed....maybe it is because families don't live near by...you now have to take job so far away because the pay is better..I don't know but it sure makes me sad. I know that I really enjoyed being with all my family....and I know our time here on earth is very short....I don't want to take one moment or one family member for granted.....I don't ever want to say...I wish.... I would have or could have or should have...........
