IS IT WELL WITH YOUR SOUL???

Everyone is waking up with new challenges every day. I love greeting a new day with five beautiful faces.I can truly say it is well with my soul. But I do think about those of you whose challenges are overwhelming this day and I want to encourage you that God is in control and Jesus really does care.
 I was thinking about the Shullamite woman she was given a son by God only to have him die. But when she went to the man of God she knew and trusted that God had a plan. She said, "it is well with my soul".
 God healed her son.
   Then my mind goes to Horatio Spafford he had five children and then none. God took his only son with an illness. His four daughters drowned at sea, results of a terrible ship wreck. His wife sent a message "Saved Alone" A month later while traveling over to meet his wife in England. He penned these words:

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

(Refrain:) It is well (it is well),
with my soul (with my soul),
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
(Refrain)

My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to His cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
(Refrain)

For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pain shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
(Refrain)

And Lord haste the day, when the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
(Refrain)


God extends his love and comfort to you in the same way. May we always be able in good times and in bad to say IT IS WELL WITH MY SOULhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horatio_Spafford

Children Should be Seen and Heard

We live in a day and age when our little ones are thought of as a nuisance.

 I believe in good manners as much as the next person. Just don't be caught up so with  the "not be heard" part of that saying.  

We just need to see more children out and, about with their parents. When I see you out there with your little ones struggling along, I am in awe and, you inspire me.

      In a society where on Sunday we put them in Junior church, and nursery, Monday off to school or the local daycare, so we don't have to be bothered...I challenge you, take them with you every chance you get. let those children both be seen and heard...

                           YOUR CHILDREN BLESS ME! YOU INSPIRE ME 

                      ( waiting just around the corner, just to see you)

Meeting New People

Being the mom of 5 children is not easy and, I  have to make time for my own needs (no brag just fact) So writing hasn't been even remotely making the list. 
  Our family enjoys meeting new people. Our oldest children are very out going. They love playing at the park. That tends to be where we meet people, the easiest.
  We recently met a wonderful family that has been a tremendous blessing to us. They are the D----s and we just love spending time with them. They have 5 children also and, they are all very talented. I just want to say that its important to make time in our busy society to greet and try to meet new people. Yes i think its goofy we have more ways then ever to communicate, and yet neighbors do not know each other. People don't even greet each other or smile at each other. Just for the record
                         WE WANT TO MEET YOU!      LETS BE FRIENDS!
                                            ( smiles and waving hand wildly at you )

God makes it easy if we just honor our husbands and work hard.
