Caring for God's Blessings

Do you take care of His blessings?

Are you able to identify His blessings?

Identifing your spouse, children, extended family and friends are easy to see as blessings.  But what about your home?  This is where I tend to fall.  I know my home is a blessing, but don't tend to take care of it as I should.  I know I should find laundry as a blessing, that means I have a family.  I should find dishes as a blessing, that means we have food.  But there are so many other fun things to do, crafting, sleeping, talking to friends and of course posting on my blog.

So am I on here just to degrade myself on my downfalls.  No.  I am here today to say that I have been in our home for 7 years and I finally have my kitchen in running order.  Everything has its place.  My husband now says he needs a map, so that he can help keep it this way.  Did I do this on my own.  Well, not completely.  A dear friends encouragment along with FLYlady.

Now for a commercial--

Tired of living in CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome)?  Join FLYlady (Finally Loving Yourself lady) today.  She can help you to see that your CHAOS is ruling your home and not allowing you to bless it.  You too can have friends over at the drop of a hat when you bless your home with FLYlady at www.flylady.net .

Oh, I finally have country music playing in my home.  What a blessing from God to be able to dance in my socks and sing along, as I bless what He has given me.  I am definately a "Who are you when I am not lookin'" country gal.

Where are you finding blessings today?
Lovin' myself!

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
