Sharing the Love

If you are a parent with more than one child, you can understand the dilema of "sharing". It seems I am alawys reminding my children to share with one another with not many good results. But, I have found one thing that they joyfully share with each other and anyone else near by...sickness!
My darlings have this week brought home a little bug, fever, headache and cough etc., and shared it with each other and me. How sweet! Only Daddy has not caught it and we sure hope he doesn't as he has to work most of the weekend.

But, it can always be worse, my sister in law has five children and they brought her home a nice, big stomach virus bug and shared it all around, even with Mom and Dad. They sure had a rough time this week.

So, I guess this is the season for these type of things, so try to stay well!

    Hope all get well quick! I'm scanning lots of mom blogs tonight and can't believe how many moms have sick kids right now. Even read one post about how moms keep puke from getting all over when their kids are sick! I'm knocking on wood!

    Ok...I must admit to chuckling as I read this. My girls are 7 years apart and still all they share are germs LOL. They have completely different tastes in music, movies, clothes etc. Oh and they BOTH give me their icky germs LOL.

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

Construction, Challenges, Chaos

 Who knew something simple could erupt into something chaotic so quickly? A broken file cabinet forced us to purchase a new one. We found one online, ordered it and it arrived quickly with a do it yourself assembly book, complete with 24 part packages and 18 steps of instructions!  As we unpacked the items and compared with the instruction book, we realized a part was missing. Customer service was called, a replacement part was quickly received. Except, the screws did not fit into the holes on the replacement part. We tried again, received another part, same issue.  Meanwhile, the 24 packages of parts are spread out on my living room floor, customer service does not understand my issue, they asked for photos which were sent and now we are again, waiting for a part.  It seems every project faces the inevitable delay. My work place is undergoing a floor remodel. Upheaval, dust, packing, lots of inconvenience and depending on the work crew's schedule dictate the next fe...
