Making my home sing Monday-Sept 13

TWO POST FROM ME IN ONE DAY- Check out my Fall Nesting Party post below @ Pumpkins Anyone?

Today is Monday and for that me that means joining in the linky party @ Mom’s the Word. 

My weekend hasn’t been the normal one for me, so I am feeling a bit out of sorts. Almost feel like I have been floundering.

My husbands birthday was yesterday so all my kids were at the house overnight on Saturday.  And when that happens, I have them ALL over the house. It makes  for a good time with them, but my house suffers  .  So today, it consist of getting myself back on a schedule and refocus. And since my husband when with my sons to the Cowboys and Redskin game, he wasn’t around to have his birthday cake, so i am going to make him a cake today. His favorite, a carrot cake.

So that is what I am up to today…what about you?

Feel free to join us as we make our homes sing today@ Mom’s the Word.

Pumpkins anyone?

"For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together.  For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.”     -Edwin Way Teale

I am finally getting around to sharing some of my fall decorations that I worked on last week. Although I am not finished, not sure I ever finish, but I got to a stopping point.  One of my favorite things to do this time of year is gather all my crates of goodies and start changing out the summer things for my fall things.

seeking the successive autumns."

Godly One-Liners

I saw this on one of my favorite Christian web sites, and I really liked it.  I hope you enjoy it too.

 

1. Give God what’s right — not what’s left.
2. Man’s way leads to a hopeless end — God’s way leads to an endless hope.
3. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.
4. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.
5. In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma–but never let him be the period.
6. Don’t put a question mark where God puts a period.
7. Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to GOD for a face-lift.
8. When praying, don’t give God instructions-just report for duty.
9. Don’t wait for six strong men to take you to church.
10. We don’t change God’s message–His message changes us.
11. The church is prayer-conditioned.
12. When God ordains, He sustains.
13. WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.
14. Plan ahead–It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.
15. Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.
16. Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your book.
17. Exercise daily–walk with the Lord.
18. Never give the devil a ride–he will always want to drive.
19. Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.
20. Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.
21. He who angers you controls you.
22. Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.
23. Give Satan an inch & he’ll be a ruler.
24. Be ye fishers of men–you catch them & He’ll clean them.
25. God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
26. Read the Book — It will scare the hell out of you.

Thankful Thursday- Sept 9- Best Friend

 

Welcome back for Thankful Thursday, if this is your first time here, welcome.

Hubby and I had the chance to spend the weekend running around and hanging out with some friends, but these weren’t just any friends, it was my best friend.

So I have been spending time being thankful for her.  She is one of the people that knows me so well and I don’t have to explain anything to her, she and I can finish one another's sentences and knows what the other is thinking without a word. 

We can spend time just being quiet, and it’s not uncomfortable. 

We share the love of the same things.

We can cry together

We can laugh together, and we do. 

She is like a sister to me.

She is Donna.

What are you thankful for today?  Check out what others are saying @  Grace Alone .  Thanks  Irisfor being such a gracious hostess.

One of those days

when I haven’t felt like doing ANYTHING.  I feel horrible that I haven’t been here to post since Saturday but we had a busy holiday weekend, and then Monday and Tuesday this week, I spent it putting out Fall decorations. Will try to share with you some of our weekend fun later. 

Today I am feeling a bit out of sorts, tired, and just kinda blah.  Here’s to hoping that I will be back tomorrow for my Simple Pleasures and Thankful Thursday post, and hoping to get around to do some visiting. 

Thanks to everyone that has visited with me over the last several days and for the emails.  I love to hear from  you.  :)

Hugs!
