Mid November

This month is going too fast.  I have been asked to teach Wednesday night at Church for next week.  I am looking forward to that.  I had the day off today and was able to mow our yard (hopefully for the last time this season).  I think that my riding mower is shot.  I am truly blessed because every time the mower has broke down, my Dad has always taken it in and gotten it fixed for us.  I think that with some of our tax refund money, we need to purchase a new one, or at least a push mower. We get so spoiled to having what we want and getting it.  But we can always look at it as blessings.  We have to understand that some of the stuff we want may not be want we need.  You know, God’s word says that we need to depend on the Lord for our every need.  But do we really do that?  No, we  (and I) see what we want and go get it.  You see, if we learn to give up everything and just let the Lord move, then he will.  We go to Church and we ask why do we not see the Lord move in our lives.  We hunger to hear from the Lord but we do not stop and listen.  We pray and ask but go on about doing what WE want to do.  Sometimes if we listen, we may not like what we hear.  We just don’t drop our worldly stuff and follow.  We say we depend on him and want a miracle. 

My recommendation is that we fast.  We hear about all the stuff going on in Washington and the healthcare bill being passed to the next step and we get worried.  My 5 year old son summed it up nicely.  One night, my youngest daughter stated that she was scared.  My son then explained to her that there is no need to be scared because God is ALWAYS with us.  Give something up this week or for the next two weeks that you normally depend on.  Food, TV or whatever it might be.  Then give that time to the Lord.  Just stop during that time that you gain by giving something up and pray and listen what the Lord wants to tell you.  Let HIM guide you to get you through your times of need.

November Ramblings

It’s just not getting to the point where we have cool nights and not so hot days.  This is the first year in a while that we have actually has a slow transition between summer and fall.  I do have to say though, that it is rather warmer than normal.  Highs in the upper 60’s to lower 70’s and lows into the 40’s.  Not bad and not complaining.  I do love this kind of weather.  Just don’t want it to rain for a while so that the farmers can get their crops in.  Not sure what the Winter will bring though.  Notice how we start talking about the weather to break the ice and as a conversation starter?  Here we go.

Enjoyed Church this morning at the Bay United Methodist Church.  We visited there this morning because they were having a special Veterans service.  Pastor Angie had invited my family and I to come.  It was a touching service.  Thanks Pastor Angie for the invite, we always love coming to see everyone. 

  We also enjoyed Allison’s Birthday Party this weekend.  My how the kids are growing up.  My In-laws came for the weekend to be at the party.  It was fun for the kids and we did enjoy everyone.  Just tired after the party. 

  There are more things coming for the month and I will try to update again in a few day but we all know how that goes.  I use Windows Live Writer to do my posts and I see this link over to the side that says to upload video.  I might try the video thing later and post something on here.  Until then,  Thanks to everyone for staying tuned.  You can always follow me on Twitter or Facebook.  The links for Facebook is Here and you can also follow me on Twitter by clicking Here.
