Happy Birthday Robin!!!!

For Today:

Outside My Window: There's a lot of hurting people who need prayer. Lord, help me not to take the power of a simple prayer for granted. You can move mountains if we just call on you!!!

I am thinking: I am so thankful to be feeling better. I'm pretty sure now I had a touch of the flu along with the UTI, because Sarah has it now. I knew I'd never felt THAT bad with just a UTI!!
I had planned on taking myself to the Doctor finally this morning, but I guess I'll be taking Sarah instead. Her fever broke last night, but she woke me up at 4:30 because she was so nauseous. We'll see how she feels this morning.

I am thankful for: A wonderful family, a great home, an awesome Church family, a great "JOB" that keeps getting better, and a Saviour who knows exactly what I need, and provides without fail. (Yes, this is Thankful Thursday in disguise, lol)

From the Kitchen: Hmmmm, it's a little too early for that, but it will probably be chicken or pork chops cooked some kind of way with some kind of side. How's that for a menu?

I am hoping: To start my Christmas shopping this week. Goodness, in years past, I'd be almost done by now. I haven't bought the first thing yet this year, YIKES!!!!! (Oh, I take that back, I forgot that I did order Sarah something last week, but I don't actually have it yet, so it doesn't count!!!!)

I am reading: Through the Bible in a year, Nightlight Devotions for Couples, Becoming the Woman of His Dreams (not that I'm not already), right babe? RIGHT BABE, lol??????

I am creating: No need to create another eBay strategy, yayyayayayYAY!!!!!! I finally got it right! PRAISE THE LORD!! So, maybe I'll create a strategy for keeping my house clean. Yea, that's it, like the ones I've created many times before. Maybe I'll just get out that little list I have of chore schedules and actually follow it for a while. I might can find the time now that I don't have to work SOOO hard at eBay!!

I am praying: For lots of things and lots of people! Prayer works. Prayer either changes your circumstances, or it changes you. Prayer heals broken bodies and broken spirits. Prayer turns your frown upside down :-) Prayer is the lifeline between you and God, and without it, where is your hope? God has healed and blessed and changed me too many times for me NOT to believe in the power of prayer, AMEN!!!!

I am hearing: That cooky cookoo clock dinging out on the 6:45 mark. Other than that, it's soooo quiet in here. Haven't even heard the bomb at the Nursing Home yet, and no animals are cleaning themselves around me this morning. Ah, what did I do to deserve this nice break?

One of my favorite things: The chopper I got at the yard sale Saturday. Yes, even with a fever and feeling like poo on a stick, I made myself go to yard sales in the freezing cold! Hey, it's my JOB, and I can't miss my job!!!! I bought my 4th chopper!!! I'm telling ya, they are GREAT. My first came from my mother in law, then I found another at a yard sale for the River, then my first one broke, so I bought another, and now I have one as a back-up for when another breaks!! I use it so often that I did wear one out, so I'll buy them whenever I see them from now on, cause $2 is so much better than $20, don't cha think????

Around the house: Bobby just got up and is sitting in the recliner waiting on Katybug to come by before school. He looks so cute in his little hoodie, all wrapped up and sleepy eyed!!! He's gonna kill me when he reads this though.

A few plans for the rest of the week: No plans!!!! Ain't life grand? Maybe to the Dr. today, but the rest of the week I hope to just work and clean and cook and be Wife and Mommy!!!!!

Marriage Enrichment idea:

Words that build up your Spouse: I've been thinking about you all day; What can I do for you today?; Thank you; You are one of God's most precious gifts to me; Thank you for taking such good care of me; The best part of my day is when you come home; I'm sorry; You're my knight in shining armor; You're my princess; I can always count on you; You make me feel special.

Rob and I work hard to be builders! Hey, he's Rob the Builder! Ok, sorry for the corny joke, couldn't resist! Anyhoo, the rewards of building your spouse up are so sweet! Let's all be builders, our spouses deserve no less :-)

Here is the picture I am sharing: It's Robin!!! Today is my beautiful Sister In Law's Birthday! Happy Birthday Robin!!!! Hope you have a GREAT day and God blesses you with many many more, as we sang yesterday, lol!!!!
