~ Up Beat And A Whole New Outlook ~

Evening Friends,

I have to say what I day this turned out to be and I know the Lord has had His hand on me all day, as you know the last several days....shoot the past several months have been stressful and then the foot incident only ensued that stress but I came across a fellow blogger buddies post about another blogger that I couldnt help but look at today in a whole new set of a ThankFull Heart.

After doing my post this morning on the show and tell of Trisket I thought for sure it would be another stress induced pain in the foot kinda day, even if a friend from church was coming over to help me.In my eyes I was so embarrassed at the way my house looked even if she was coming over to clean, I was still ashamed and wished my house wasnt all that bad. As soon as she arrived we got to work.... we may not have been able to conquer the whole messy lot but just her company was soothing to my soul, and as I type this I cant help but literally have tears in my eyes for that moment of blessing with her presence..(Laura, the gal in my other post who had the baby). Even though I did end up having to stop and take a couple hour nap( medication induced drousy ness) I thank her for still staying around and helping my daughter with her bedroom. Laura would then leave a lil while later while I was still in my med induced nap.ha ha

So it was to my surprize that when I woke up from the nap I had some energy to start tackling something in my house( at the time I thought it would be the laundry room) it was then that I happened to look down and see that the swelling in my foot had gone down immensly(still some swelling,but a difference in my eyes as to what it has been these past few days). Right away I was like THANK YOU LORD

and maybe I can now get something done on my place....

As blessings would have it I sat down briefly at the computer(just like I am now) to see if I had any messages and what bloggers could I visit that would help keep my positive attitude in check, so when I popped on to Amanda's blog(see side bar) I was taken to a couple of her recent posts that she had done in recomending another blogger. Remembering how inspired I was last week by that blogger   that she Amanda talked about I decided to take a real gander at to what this fellow Woman and Keeper of the Home was saying I have to tell you ladies what a blessing she truly is.....

As you know we recently bought this small farm home on 4 acres, while my hubster currently serves over seas on a 15 month tour to Iraq almost a month ago(even though the full moving in has only been 3 weeks) . The kids and I are still meandering among the place trying to set up homestead only to be met with limited cabinetry to house everything and anything from linens, to the kitchen stuff. By stumbling upon this blog and these particular posts she has done and calling her series Working With What You Got I have been inspired in so many ways and I want to encourage you to check her out HERE..

I have now repented to the Lord for my sour attitude and realize the error in my ways that even though The limited space comfy house we just bought is small compared to our other homes it truly is what I make it, and sometimes Love does grow better in lil houses. So I Thank Copper's Wife and all of YOU for reminding me that I do need to be thankful in the blessings I have been given not matter how big or how small(even among the pain). This home purchase after all was a blessing and no use in complaining after I have been given what I have been wanting.   Surely I have been a prodigal daughter with biting the hand that feeds me, and for that My Lord I am sorry and wish to be Forgiven......

   Sincerely,

JEANNIE

PS:.....I am going to meander myself now into the kitchen and work with what I got and I will post pictures as soon as they become available(before and afters)

My husband did a tour in Iraq when we had 4 children adn expecting #5 (expecting #7 now). It get rough and can be hard to be those homefire burning. I will be praying for you and your family. Last year we moved out into one acrea and things are still not "just the way" I want them. But you are right, God is good and send us help in so many ways.

Aren't friends just a huge blessing. We've just recently been blessed ourselves, and what can you say but Thank You Lord. I'm glad your foot is feeling better, and I can't wait for photos. :)
