April 1st: A Day of Contemplation

Today is a day of contemplation:
*blessings
*friends
*co-workers
*family
*pets
*home
*faith
It is my birthday; I am 47 years old and I wonder how I got here :~)

I am blessed with knowing Christ as my Lord and Saviour.  I have family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances whom are a part of my life and make my life sweet.

Life is ever-changing and I am glad to have a sturdy foundation in the Lord.

Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.  I am so thankful to our Heavenly Father for sending His one and only son down to earth for one and all sinners.  I am also thankful for all of my blessings received through His lovingkindness; family, friends, health, home, job, co-workers, the majesty of nature...the list goes on.

The picture has more to do with my being vegan that giving thanks (I thought it was cute).

Artwork

In 1909, homes were built of lath & plaster.  This makes hanging artwork a bit of an undertaking :-)  My mom and dad are stopping  by to lend a hand (actually I'll be lending the hand - LOL). I am looking forward to having one more item crossed off my list in getting my home in order :-)  Colleen and I have spots picked out for all of the items needing to be hung.  Haha - she is having a day of fun at Silverwood so hopefully her mom has a good memory :-)  Home ownership - a joy and feeling of accomplishment!

Home

I was blessed to be a part of the first-time homebuyers credit this past year.  Owning a home is a rewarding challenge and I am still learning :-)  Everything costs more than you budget; however, I think I've figured that one out.?!  The inside of the home is almost completed.  My sister and brother-in-law are going to gut and redo my bathroom - I shall assist in a limited capacity.  The yard needs quite a bit of help - my project for next year. Actually, having my own home is liberating.  I can paint, decorate and come and go, as I please.  A completely different world compared to the last 9 years. What an exciting, enjoyable and freeing time in my life.  Praises to the Lord for His awesomeness!!
