Tuesday Tantrums?


I will start to day off with my smiles found yesterday.  I actually found a lot to smile about.  But will give you the funny smiles.  Our youngest son has a Thomas the Tank bed, that he claims is not his.  So we put it outside and filled it with dirt for him to play in.  Today, him and his sister filled it up with water, making an ooey gooey mess.  They painted pictures on each others backs, splashed, oohhh the joys of being a child.  Then they filled the water trough and played in it to clean up a bit.  It was so nice watching the two of them having so much fun.  God has totally blessed my day with smiles.

Now for Tuesday Tantrums:  A day to complain?  Why not?  What are some of the complaints you hear daily?  Too hot?  Too cold?  Too much rain?  Too little rain?  Can you imagine being God and having so many people requesting weather in their favor.  He  made all of us different, how could He ever please us everyone?  Makes me wonder, heat, cold, rain, dry spells, no wonder there are tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes and the like.  Maybe we should be content with what God has given us.  Not just with the weather, but in our everyday lives.  When we try to take control, our lives turn into earthquakes and hurricanes.  Get the picture?

Am I saying, we have no control?  Not at all, there are so many things in our lives that we do control, where we live, the food we eat, what we wear.  But we need to stop trying to control, what is out of our control.  The way others think of us, the things they say, the way they think in general.  God made us all individuals with individual minds.  If we all thought the same, we might as well be robots.  So, I challenge you to look at people differently.  Everyone has a God given gift and He has put them in our lives for a reason.  Start looking for what God wants you to see in them.  You might be surprised at what you find.  May God bless you today with an open heart.  And if He blesses your day with rain, dance in it, your not made of sugar and you just may find your inner child.

Blessings from Heaven

Do we ever experience messages from Heaven?  I believe we do, but I will let you decide.  We lost a son 14 years ago, this month, stillbirth.  We named him Logan.  One day in church, as we were holding hands with others in the congregation, I had no one to hold my left hand.  When I suddenly had my experience with our son.  He was there, I know he was, not as a child, but as a young adult.  There is more to this story.  I will save it for another day. So today, I went to the dentist.  I usually have my husband go with me.  But that was not in the cards today.  I had to have a tooth extracted and it was a quick decision to have it done today.  As I was lying there with Nitrous going, yes I know many of you will believe this was because of the Nitrous, but I assure you it was not, I asked our lost son, Logan, to come sit with me.  He did come, he held my hand.  I asked him, “ Logan, what kind of troubles and great memories would you have given me if you were here?”  His response, “Mom,

Two years, what has changed?

Life changes constantly, seasons, family, foods even we change.  One thing stays constant, God loves us continually.  I have struggled with being known as “Shelly, you know the lady that makes cards”.  Why is that such a struggle?  I want to be known as “Shelly, a child of God”.  I have strayed from card making in order to find what God has intended for me.  What have I found?  I am a child of God.     I have a gift/talent for making cards.  That talent was given to me by God.  By pulling away I have only harmed myself and hurt my Heavenly Father by not using the gift/talent he gave me.  How did that hurt him?  I was not sharing the love, hugs and smiles through card making.  This Child is ready to move forward.

Time Flies

Where has the time gone? I have heard my whole life, "the older you get the faster time flies."  It is so true.  I still don't understand it, but it is true just the same.   I have truly  missed blogging.  I have become a stay at home mom and schooling our children.  What an adventure that has been.  I love it!  They have taught me more that I have taught them, I think.  It is, however, good to be back.  I just wanted to say, "hello."   So, "Hello, and May God help me daily in my blogging revisited.  Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come by again". Hugs and Smiles to all, Shelly
