30 Days of Thanks- Day 10 & 11

Today I am Thankful for 

Discernment 

I am thankful for discernment because God allows us to "see" and be aware of things that could harm us, our families, and our walk with him. I have a big decision to make regarding finding a sitter for my son. I think the biggest worry for a mother is leaving their child in someone else's hands. I would like to request that you say a prayer for our family as we look for a sitter. That our son will be safe and well cared for while they are in their hands.

Wise and Innocent

Gifts

Each person on this planet has a "gift". You may also call them a talent, a calling, or purpose. Our life has a meaning...A reason why God made us. I am thankful for God giving each person a gift to use to glorify his name. I know that my gift is helping others. There are many roles that could fulfill this gift. Nurses, teachers, doctors, firemen, friends, caretakers and mothers are all helpers as well as many other roles. I want to thank God for giving me this gift. Although I sometimes struggle with this role, I must embrace it. I must do it with a open heart and live a selfless life so that God's name is glorified. (God use me in the manner that you have created me that will uplift your name, Amen.)

30 Days of Thanks- Day 7

Today I am Thankful for 

Technology

                               

I use technology a lot. I am sure you do too. Today, I was able to Skype my family. I was able to speak and see my Grandparents, Mom, Siblings (2), Cousin, and Uncle. Although we could Skype more we don't, but when we do it means a lot. Of course we talk to each other on the phone ( mostly cell phones), keep up through Facebook , and e-mail. We also use regular mail as well to send cards, letters, etc.

Keeping in touch with my family means the world to me. I am thankful that technology enables me to "see" my family although we are separated by miles and miles. I am also thankful that technology allows me to show my love for God with others via this blog. Technology can be good if we use it for good.

30 Days of Thanks- Day 5

Today I am Thankful for 

 Deadlines

It may seem strange,but really I love deadlines/submit dates. That means that I can turn in whatever it is . Today it is a 25 page paper. I don't have to stress over it anymore. It can't stop me from attending play dates, washing the dishes, or take away from spending time with my family anymore. I can hit the "upload file" and then "submit". 

I am also thankful for my friends, classmates, and other supporters who help me until I get to that deadline. Friends who read my papers, classmates who do too, and supporters who send me virtual " you can do its".  THANK YOU ! And each one of you know who you are <3

30 Days of Thanks - Day 4

Today I am Thankful for 

 Amazing Grace

I am thankful that when I was 12 years old I was saved and baptized. God's protection , love, mercy, and grace has surrounded me. When you accept Jesus into your heart and life as your saviour you are opening the door to unending love. Our Father, God loves us and wants us to have a life that is rewarding and and aligned with his teachings. There is nothing better than being a child of the KING. 

If you are yet to experience an unending love, I encourage you to experience the love of our Father as well. It doesn't matter what you have or have not done. It only matters that you believe, have faith, and willing to change your behaviors and the way that you live, and confess to others that you are saved and living in Christ.

I encourage you to find a church and talk with the pastor about your desires to be saved. They will talk with you and lead you to accepting Jesus into your heart.

I wish you the best in your journey as a Christian. 

If you decided to experience " Amazing Grace" , please e-mail and let me know. I would love to pray for you.

Days Off

Replica mining truck- inside was a introduction video before you enter the center.

Real size replica of tire for the mining truck.

My Husband gets 4 day per month off and I cherish each one. They often take forever to come and quickly pass. However, my husband always tries to do something fun with us. I am thankful for days that we get to be together because it allows us to create memories together not memories that my son and I have to tell him about via pictures and stories.

Today we were able to visit the Caterpillar Visitor Center. Daddy and Son were able to climb on all the machines and press buttons and turn knobs. We were also able to learn more about the CAT corporation via displays, videos, and hands-on virtual simulators.

Afterwards we grabbed dinner from a restaurant I have wanted to try for several months. Then we took a drive out of town so we could drive back into town to see the beautiful night skyline.

I'm already looking forward to his next day off ( in 7 days)

30 Days of Thanks

Day 2

On the 2nd day of November, I am thankful for:

  My Son

The greatest gift a child. I am thankful for his smile and ability to make me laugh. I am thankful that he is healthy, smart, and kind. I am thankful that he keeps me on my toes. I am thankful for his hugs, high fives, and cove ( love). I am thankful that each day he allows me to see the world in new perspective. I am truly thankful for my Son.

Mama loves you!  

Psalm 127:3 

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.
