Don’t forget Him at Christmas.

Good mornin, It’s such a great morninto just stay in bed and cuddle. It’s cold outside and snowing with some rain  mixed in kinda messy. Yuck! I got up early and made sloppy joe’s and mac and cheese and this house smells yummy!!! Needing it to be ready after church for 7 angels !! Cookies are next. And we need to be ready for our Colt’s game at 1:00!! I just was reading the paper,Cleveland has an amazing punt returner!! So extra prayers for our special teams today!!!! I forgot to bring more wood up last night from the back lot and so it’s all wet,dang it ! No fire in the fireplace for the game. A warm fuzzy blanket will do just fine. Are we blessed to the point of being spoiled rotten or what? A TV, a football game, a warm blanket!!Yes we are!!! I never take these thingsfor granted,especially after reading about all the evil going on in India and other places all over the world right now. The tree is finally finished….looks amazing!! It’s an angel tree this year,baby angels holding on tight to fabric flowing horizontally over their heads. Looks as though they are parachuting though the tree, lots of soft color and pastel ribbon. YUMMY!!! Very surreal ,reflects the true meaning of Christmas. Crystal assortment of Jesus ornaments. We are trying as a family to stay away from expensive gifts and reflecting more on Jesus. Giving gifts from the heart,like things that have sentimental value,I found my girls old American Girls collection of dolls they used to play with for hours,they were boxed up in the attic,with all of their little clothes they would dress them all up in!! That’s one of things their getting.They have forgotten all about them,along with their old Cabbage Patch dolls.My mother is going through some jewelry my grandmother owns and wants them to have. They will love that!! Just some pin’s and necklaces and everyday jewelry they can wear now with jeans and it’s all back in style!!My husband started a new business this year and I have the first dollar bill he earned,and I’m framing it for his office,along with his franchise papers.Things that have meaning and value to them individually. Am I being Old Fashioned ? Funny I’m not a sentimental person at all. Just trying to get away from commercialism at Christmas time. It’s not about gifts,it’s about Jesus and we as spoiled humans forget or some don’t even know, this is His day not our own. Hey, I have to go jump a shower, it’s getting late, Prayers are raining down all around you, winning or not you are loved beyond measure!!!!!!!  Luvs and Hugs, Becky  later k?

Good night blog angels, This has been a memorable evening,the x-mas tree is going up instead of the lights outside. Change of plans by my daughter and her friends. We bought a pre-lit tree year before last and part of the lights are not working,so they are determined to find the problem at 11:00 pm. I have a feeling this is gonna be an all nighter!! lol ! Fire is warm and hot chocolate divine!! It’s all good! They are making their own memories,how sweeeeet is that??? My Prayers and thoughts are with all traveling tomorrow, weather looks good!! Prayers for safety during a winning mission and for the trip home.Prayers for representing well, being losing or winning at what your doing.  See y’all Sunday!! LUVS & HUGS and more, Becky remember xoxoxo dream sweet.

What?

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for the many blessings that God has surrounded me with each and every day of my life. Friends, family, a place to rest my head at night,a home,my health,this great country, the privilege of having access to Him every minuet of every day,His unconditional, non-judgemental love.This amazing day to celebrate with loved ones in harmony and in peace!! Have a day full of grace,love,laughter, and the ability to push yourself away from that table! LUVS and HUGS, Becky xoxoxoxoxoxoxo love one another!!

 ONE BITE AT A TIME!

Good mornin holiday blogsters, I was just thinkin about this story of this gal who reached the top of a 3600 feet high El Capitan in Yosemite National Park in California! Being close to the Holidays my daughter is feeling a bit overwhelmed.We are moving dinner to her house because she has so much more room than I do,and there are a few more to add to the table.YIPPEE! anyway I told her about this last night after she teared up just venting and was so stressed over her job…huge responsibility,bless her heart. So this gal reached the top of this climb but not without stress and fear. She was all alone on this mission.She said she would have given up and magically left if she could half way up but she kept telling herself “I’ll climb here today”.. “Just a step at a time”… “a day at a time”… and “a bite at a time” Pretty good formula for a lot of different situations in life.We can all  ”eat elephants”, be it a test we have to take,an illness we have to live with,a broken heart that needs healing.I have several I need to start chewing on! So I was just thinkin, unlike the rock she was climbing, unstable at times,we have the solid Rock to lean upon. God is always there. Remember: “One Bite at a Time” Peace out!!Luvs and Hugs, Becky ( love someone today) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo,

Hi there, I was just thinkin about Thanksgiving,with all who are going to be here I love to make sure everyone gets to enjoy their favorite dish. So I called and ask all the nieces and nephew and cousins,and anyone else related to someone to make sure I had it right. Funny how they all have a special thing they want, to make it just right. It will be there!! I love these people!! Huge favorite….noodles,and another,mac&cheese. This is a day that we make memories galore,and take tons of pictures. It is what you make it ! I keep seeing all these articles in magazines about how to reduce stress during the Holidays, we don’t really have alot of stress,but we do have alot of fun! Everyone just pitches right in and helps everyone out. This mostly my side of the family. They are local and the other side isn’t,so we do travel a bit more during Christmas. Some of us go downtown early to help serve the homeless which works out fine because we don’t eat until around 3:00. So now that I’ve bored you into a coma ,have an amazing day and know you are loved. kisses and more kisses, Later ~Becky 

Hi, so the day ended up being less productive than I had hoped. My daughter insisted we go work out so that kinda pulled me away from the laundry,  oh darn!! i really enjoyed it and spending time with her is always a pleasure. From there it just seemed to go down hill. Tomorrow I pick up where I left off. Tonight there are kids here for One Tree HIll. I love the fact that they all get together once a week. They value each others friendships and have been friends since elementary school.Some of them are just like my very own. They love to talk and talk and talk and talk sometimes I wonder if their parents ever listen cause these kids talk like for hours. So I said I would blog some sense later but I still have no sense. So this is just as lame a post as the first one.. I need to grocery shop again I can’t seem to keep food in this house!! Too many in and out.Well I hope your day was a blessing and that you get some really good rest and dream BIG! Speaking of dreaming, did you see the front page of the newspaper this mornin? I love it!!! I still can’t get over last night! I’m getting ready to head to my bedroom for the evening,great books in there and I may catch some TV,and a nice hot bubbly bath!!  God bless you and keep you safe, luvs and some hugs, Becky xoxoxoxoxoxdream ps.always listen to your kids,take time to learn the words to their favorite song.

have i told you today,you’re my hero.oh yes yes i do love you i thanks God every day for you

Good late mornin, I was so wound up last night I couldn’t sleep,so I didn’t wake up until late. Ya know this is probably really lame but for some reason I was thinkin some one had my pass word for my unpublished blog,so I got a new pass word for those more private things I blog about. The new pass word they gave me looked something like this *&(*&^%^%$$$$^%*&^(__&%$@, so I got my old one back knowing that it was impossible for someone to have my old password. Whats my point? There isn’t one. I was just thinkin. So I just was reading the paper and getting caught up on some laundry. I just looked at it and sighed why is there never an end to this laundry? A pile sky high!! Enough to keep me busy for most of this day. It’s dreary so what better to do than to get this caught up again. Ya know if it’s gonna be cold and dreary outside we may as well go ahead and get a bunch of snow. We could go outside and make a snowman and have a snowball fight. It would be fun to pull the sleds out and hit the slopes!! I think maybe we are suppose to get a little today,but not enough to play in. I just may make myself a fire in the fireplace and fold laundry in front of the flames. I am such a romantic I can make a date out of doing laundry!!! Very soft heart. Always seeing away of making something not so fun into a sweet dream. Folding nice warm soft laundry with a smell of flowers blooming in the Spring,have you ever put on a pair of socks straight from the dryer,you need to try it! I could go on but then you would think I was a pervert instead of a romantic. lol  Well, better go I’ll blog later when I can make some sense. K? K. Enjoy this day even if all your doing is sitting in front of a fire folding laundry. LUVS and HUGS, Becky  xoxoxoxoxox ooooh 

It’s Sat night. More than welcome fairly uneventful evening. It feels good sometimes to just be here watching the tube and reading for the evening. Gives ya some time to reflect and just think a little about how everything seems to be going in your life. The rat race of a busy paced life just stops completely for a while and you can breathe. I actually watched some murder mysteries the whole way through. Most of the time nothing goes un-interrupted. So I’ve enjoyed this immensely. Thinking about where I am at this point and why God has me where He does. How He is using me and trying to figure out why.A great God but sometimes very mysterious. When things calm down like this it gives me a chance to listen a little better. He has me praying intensely for people I don’t even know that well or at all. He continues to reasureHe knows what is best for His children. Also the strangest thing being hearing Him tell me to prepare myself and to prepare my body. Kinda worries me thinking maybe I’m gonna get sick or something. He did answer prayers last wk for my  job search. Forty hours a wk. is just not going to happen,family first. They love me being home, and just working to make this place someplace inviting to come home to. I love it as well, but sometimes feeling I need to be making money. What’s money if the family isn’t happy? You can’t buy happiness with cash or credit. It has to be from your heart and soul. God has given me more than family to share my love with, people that I have no idea why but He is sooo persistent about. It is one of the biggest desires of my life to find out someday why. Hopefullybefore I get to heaven,if I do. I just know the love I have for these individuals is beyond words,as if I’ve know them better than myself. It hurts to know they don’t even know I exist but I pray down the heavens for them on a daily basis.Not that I want a thankyou for crying out loud but if they only knew, or had the same desires I’m not sure where that would lead. It makes my head spin to think about that. I’m doing what He says and that someday hopefully will in itself give me answers I am seeking. He is an awesome God,but somethings He has me pray for are not making the least bit of sense to me. What do I mean by He has me pray for? I mean thing’s He lays on my heart in a way that is almost overwhelming at times.Maybe it would be better to say if God lays something on you’re heart you will know it because the feeling is mind blowing. It can’t be mistaken for anything else. I promise you this. So I just continue to pray,and continue to prepare my body with diet and tons of exercise in preparation for what ever He has in store for me. It makes me feel good about myself and makes every thing look better, so that’s a gift in itself. I’m going to go get some rest now, threw an extra blanket on the bed,I’m so thankful for that bed and pillow and am eager to go climb in it for the night. Jesus bless and protect you.luv,me

Good mornin, just working a bit in the office this mornin. Follow ups and such. Hubby in til noon. Then out he goes. As for me, well I have a venture or 2 of my own today. One of which requires a trip to the mall. Not too crazy about the mall. I like to shop occasionally but not really the mall. Just a few items that need replaced. It’s dreary and cold outside so what a great day for some chores. I’m feelin a little misplaced right now, and continue to ask God to shine His light on to the path He desires for me take. PRAY,PRAY,PRAY. I just really could do with out this uncertainty tugging at my heart right now.So many questions unanswered, maybe I’m just not listening well enough. Maybe I haven’t prayed long enough. I’m trying as hard as I can. We will see I know It’s God’s time not my own.I have a tendency to sometimes be impatient, Praying and wanting an answer within an hour or two. lol. I probably make God laugh! He made me so He knows my heart. He knows everything and is waiting to do whats best for me.If you have a moment would you please say a little prayer that God will give me a clue as to what His desires are for me. Thank you, Becky  

Gooooood mornin, I was just reading the paper and saw the article about this man drinking and driving.Wow, he killed someone this time. How unfortunate for both families! It just seems so senseless,he was out celebrating his birthday.I makes me wonder who he was celebrating with. Why on earth didn’t they take his keys,they had to know his situation. Maybe he was alone. I can sympathize with the family of the lady who lost her life. I was hit head on by a drunk driver several years ago. In a MG Midget,very small car. I went through the windshield.Woke up in a ambulance. Talk about a nightmare!! Long story short, I was fine other than a concussion,and a few broken ribs. This person along with so many others not so fortunate. I hope that this will shine a bit of light on this on-going sad problem. Other wise another person just lost their life in vein,and her family is left to pick up the pieces. I have always told all of my friends and family, old and young,if you are out and make the decision that you are going to drink,please,please call me I will come and get you, no questions asked. JUST DON”T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!!!!!!! I’m so sorry for these families. OK i’m Off my preach mode. That was yesterday’s paper, now for today’s, gotta get caught up on whats goin on!! Have a wonderful day, make it what it is, a special gift from God !!!! Luvs and Hugs, Becky xoxoxoxoxooooooooooh !
