A Blessed Day.......

Posted on Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 05:13

Well I tried to get outside today but it was way too hot. I was hoping to spend most of my day out doors:) Instead I worked on our grocery list and price book. Does anyone else keep a price book? I have been watching my groceries go up so now I am going to try to keep a price book to keep track of my everyday groceries such as milk, bread ect... I also have been working on my budget spread sheet. In our Sunday school class they asked us to start keep tracking  of all our expenses and to look at the last three monthes bills. I am really learning alot about how to save and to watch what we are spending:)

My daughters and I are reading a book together by Jane Austen "Emma". We read the first four chapters today. I really enjoy spending time with Mary and Laura. I will miss our lazy summer time when school starts:)

I have our dinner cooking we are having ham, potatoes from our garden, tomatoes from our garden, and cucumbers from our garden. I also made corn bread which I love:) I love being able to make dinner from our garden:) My husband brought in 65 tomatoes last night and this isn't even tomato time yet:) He also brought me in atleast 25 new potatoes Yum!

My husband is hoping to get some plans together to work on our chicken coop this fall. We have been way to busy to even being our chickens but we are hoping to get started soon. There is always something to think about:)

I am so thankful for all that the Lord has provided us. I just don't think we think about that enough:) I am so glad we bought a home were I can look out to our back yard. (Believe it or not but this is the only home we looked at that had a window that looked out to the back yard.) I enjoy waking up and opening the curtains to see the garden and all the goodness the day will bring.  I love sitting out on our deck and just looking at the freshly mowed grass how Great is Our Lord! He makes such beautiful things!!

I wanted to thank all the ones that have been praying for me. I have been feeling much better. I sometimes get the mommy blues in some sort of way. My daughters are growing up so fast.  I miss  when they were little running through the grass:) Now they sit beside me and read books, make there own jewlery, make there own hand-made cards and can work on the computer better than me:) I am so truely blessed:) It is hard not to want to go back to when they were little.  I think we all want to keep our children small:)   God knows what is best and I will turn to Him for all things:) Thank you again for praying:)

Well dinner is ready.

I hope you have a Blessed day!!  I hope you get a chance to look out your back window and see some of God goodness:) He is Truely Wonderful!!!

Growing up is hard to do, not just for the kids, but for we moms, too! Keeping you close in thought and heart - and always lifting you up in prayer.
