Happy Birthday Jesus

Well, this year as been such a memorable one,but the best is tonight as we celebrate the coming of the birth of Jesus,I'd like to reflect on what Jesus has done for us even being born and dieing on the cross for our sins.

Thank you Jesus for doing all that you do and thank you for being born for one reason and that reason was to die on the cross for our sins.

Christmas with Santa

Yesterday was so much fun,we took the girls to see Santa,then came home had dinner and decorated our tree. It's our first real Christmas tree, the last years we have had fake trees and so it was a real one this year. We sat around drinking hot cocoa and hanging the ornaments.

We have our Christmas tree

Tonight my husband Chuck and I with the three little girls went and got the Christmas tree. Tomorrow night we are having our annual Christmas tree decorating family time, We sit around drinking Hot Cocoa,listening to Christmas Carols, while we decorate our tree. We will have a special person over tomorrow night, she is one of the elder ladies from Church. She has adopted us as her surrogate family,while my little ones call her MawMaw as well as the others. She has truly been a godly sent women in our lives.
I'll sharing pictures with everyone once our Christmas tree is up.

Such a wonderful day today

First it started by going to Church.I had such a blessed time and really had laid alot out at feet of my Lord.Alot of things that had been on my heart that I truly needed to lay at his feet emotionally and mentally.
Then my beautiful daughter and her roomate came to Church, my daughter has not been to church in such along time and my heart was truly happy then. We had all gone to brunch then headed to thee best park in San Antonio I think and took pictures of all of us and quite a few shots of the kids and hubby and I.
It was a huge blast. Here are some photos.

I have ordered our first set of Pk 4 Abeka Curriculum today

Well, I was piecing curriculum together and it became such a hassle to do it,so I broke down and ordered the K4 set from Abeka. My Emily to whom I homeschool was being taught Abeka in the Christian school she attended.So , I thought well since she already knows it I'll stick with it.

I'm super excited can't wait.Next week we are making our Christmas lapbook and learning the origin of the Christmas tree.

Out of the mouth of babes!

Yesterday was such a rush,rush day for us. First,my precious Catey had a Dr's appt because of an absess that had gotten infected,then it was off to do some Christmas shopping,then since my hubby's transmission in his truck went out,we had to pick him up and over to the other side of town by 3pm. So, needless to say it was a rush job.
We got to Toys R Us,the girls had made a huge mess in the van,Catey's hair was taken out,shoes off,cereal ground in the carpet and Emily was pitching a huge fit.
I muddled under my breath,that I was just not going to have anymore babies,God has given me enough and it was a chore,but by this time I had not eaten,we had been out for 5 hrs and I had to go into Toys R Us and shop for the kids.

Emily says to me "Mommy Jesus does not like it when you give your kids away". WOW!!! Talk about a clear cut throat. I stood there and said "Your right,God does not like it when I give my babies away". She reminded me that even during this time when I was warn out from getting up everyday to take daddy to work at 4am because of his broken down truck,getting the kids up for school,taking them to school. I had to keep eyes upon him,and she right, even saying i don't want anymore children is basically giving up my future babies.

I need to remember this as I take my daily walk

This is a story a friend Jennifer posted on BBC, I copied it because I know alot of us could use this. Thank you Jennifer!

"One day Solomon decided to humble Benaiah Ben Yehoyada, his most trusted minister. He said to him, "Benaiah, there is a certain ring that I want you to bring to me. I wish to wear it for Sukkot which gives you six months to find it." "If it exists anywhere on earth, your majesty," replied Benaiah, "I will find it and bring it to you, but what makes the ring so special?" "It has magic powers," answered the king. "If a happy man looks at it, he becomes sad, and if a sad man looks at it, he becomes happy." Solomon knew that no such ring existed in the world, but he wished to give his minister a little taste of humility. Spring passed and then summer, and still Benaiah had no idea where he could find the ring. On the night before Sukkot, he decided to take a walk in one of the poorest quarters of Jerusalem. He passed by a merchant who had begun to set out the day's wares on a shabby carpet. "Have you by any chance heard of a magic ring that makes the happy wearer forget his joy and the broken-hearted wearer forget his sorrows?" asked Benaiah. He watched the grandfather take a plain gold ring from his carpet and engrave something on it. When Benaiah read the words on the ring, his face broke out in a wide smile. That night the entire city welcomed in the holiday of Sukkot with great festivity. "Well, my friend," said Solomon, "have you found what I sent you after?" All the ministers laughed and Solomon himself smiled. To everyone's surprise, Benaiah held up a small gold ring and declared, "Here it is, your majesty!" As soon as Solomon read the inscription, the smile vanished from his face. The jeweler had written three Hebrew letters on the gold band: _gimel, zayin, yud_, which began the words "_Gam zeh ya'avor_" -- "This too shall pass." At that moment Solomon realized that all his wisdom and fabulous wealth and tremendous power were but fleeting things, for one day he would be nothing but dust."
