Thankful Thursday: Daily Blessings

Posted in Christian Life, and Family

While we’ve had some less than stellar things happen this week, I am very thankful for all of the Lord’s blessings on us. I have a wonderful husband sleeping beside me each night. I have a beautiful daughter resting peacefully in the next room. D’s truck is now up and running, so I have my own vehicle again. D was promoted this week.

Posted in Family

Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice; Righteous and upright is He. ~Deuteronomy 32: 1-4 This week, we are receiving rain, beautiful, earth-soaking rain.  When you live in a place where it rarely rains, this is a glorious…
