Change Your Clocks

In the United States, today is the day to change your clocks ahead one hour (exceptions are: Arizona, Hawaii, and territories of American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands).

Lights!

Progress was made this weekend with the remodel!  I am getting so excited to have a kitchen area.

My brother-in-law and sister have been such a blessing with this project.

Thank The Lord

Each morning I wake and thank the Lord for His grace and mercy.  Each evening I thank the Lord for His grace and mercy.

He is unfailing in His love for each and every one of us.

Last weekend I had the privilege of watching my 28 year old daughter be baptized.  Before she was baptized, she was asked if she wanted to share anything.  Lo and behold ~ she gave her life to Christ a couple of weeks before.

As a parent, I wonder where I failed through the years of her upbringing.

As a Christian, I know that to have Christ as my Lord is a choice I have to make on my own.

Each morning I wake and thank the Lord for His grace and mercy.  Each evening I thank the Lord for His grace and mercy.

I cry for joy that my daughter and I will have eternity together.

I cry for despair that many of my loved ones (family and friends) haven't yet bowed down at the foot of our Lord.

I pray for the lost and unreached.  I pray for all of us as we go through trials and tribulations.  Knowing the Lord is always by my side encourages me as nothing else!

Each morning I wake and thank the Lord for His grace and mercy.  Each evening I thank the Lord for His grace and mercy.

Electrical

We are moving forward with the remodel.  We have live wiring for outlets and lights in the new kitchen area ~ YAY!

Free Time = Income ?

I've been thinking about different things that I like to do with my 'free' time.  I enjoy crocheting, cross-stitch, card making/stamping, reading -- just to name a few.

That got me to thinking about earning money outside of my current employment.  Can I earn money by the simple things I craft?  What about reading?  OR even this blog.  I'm still pondering but wonder if anyone out there has any input.

I realize there aren't many people who actually read my blog so input from this venue may be a stretch -- I may add this as a FB post to see if I get any additional input.

Thanks for reading my ramblings of the day :~)

75TH Birthday

A great weekend was had by all as my dad celebrated his 75th birthday with his wife and four girls coming in to town as a surprise :-)

It was a time of fun, laughter, family, love, deep conversations, a bit of outlet mall shopping and food.

Winter Hasn't Left

The snow has arrived in Spokane.  Everyone was wondering why we were having such a mild winter.  Appears that ‘winter’ was on hold until now J

I can’t say enough about our bus system – a Shout Out to the men and women drivers, maintenance, and office personnel of STA (Spokane Transit Authority).  The roads have been a bit nasty the last few days and these folks are doing their utmost to provide excellent service.

I’m not a fan of driving in the inclement weather; however, walking and enjoying the peaceful, quietness of being outside with falling snow is awesome.  It is relaxing and beautiful – a wonderful reminder that God is the Creator of all.
