It's been a while!!

My absence is for good reason!!! My older brother, Josh, fell from a tree in our front yard and shattered his wrist, fractured his pelvis and had a lot of bumps and bruises. He fell on the 29th of August and has been in the hospital since. He had to be life flighted to a hospital in Pittsburgh because they thought he had internal bleeding. He was in the clear with that. He has has five surgeries on his wrist and has to stay off his legs for 8 weeks. If you know my brother, that is torture. He owns his own construction business and a fractured pelvis and shattered wrist isn't good for business. He has rods and pins in his wrist and on the outside as well. All he was doing was trying to help us cut down the rest of our tree!! And to make it worse, it was the first Sunday he had been at church in a while. I told him he shouldn't be working on a Sunday! =) Well, that's where I've been. Hopefully the Lord will bless him with a full healthy recovery.

Have a glorious day! It's beautiful here in Western PA!

Blech!!

My hubby took Friday and tomorrow off of work so we could spend time together as a family. But we missed church today! I thought that it was only this one time and we haven't missed in a long time so it wouldn't be a big deal. Well...it is!!!! I feel like I missed a dose of medicine that I need to survive! It's weird! The kids were even odd! M asked me why we were missing church and I couldn't tell him why! We were supposed to go camping but we didn't go on account of the rain. Blech!! That's how I feel!! Oh well! Hopefully the week goes fast!

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!!!!

Peace, Be Still

Today is one of those beautiful, calm, full of the Spirit days! I am content with things as they are. My little family is amazing! I love going to church and learning the things that we are supposed to learn. I am learning to take things in stride, realizing that the things that are small problems are just that, small problems. There is no point in letting things little grow big. Life is so short here. We need to start thinking eternally! The Lord has promised us eternal life with our families IF we live according to the plan He has in place. Live, learn about and love the Lord and all that was given up for us!

No I don't feel this way all of the time, but boy I wish I did!!! :)

Did you ever have one of these days or weeks? I sure hope everyone feels this way once in a while!! Have a great day!!

Lazy Days!

Hope everyone got to have a wonderful, peaceful Sabbath Day! We went to church, came home, ate lunch/dinner and went to the park and relaxed! I love the Sabbath and all that we are asked to try not to do. No work or shopping! Two of my least favorite things!! :) We are told to serve others and be good to one another and let our bodies regain strength for the next week! Awesome!

Enjoy your week and let the Lord bless you by following the commandments!
