Galatians 6:10 "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."

Laundry.....

I do the washing of the laundry and most of the folding. The blessings put their own laundry away and help with some folding. Dirty laundry is stored in the master bedroom and each blessing bedroom has a basket. I do about 2 loads of laundry and day and I do make my own laundry detergent. I love to hang laundry outside in the summer.

Personal dirty laundry.

I have learned over the past month many areas that our blessings need re-training and even some areas that need to be trained in. Thus pointing to my own weeknesses in my own heart and life. We all need some "laundry cleaned"around here.

Colossians 3:17 "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."  even laundry

 

 

 

Part A:

3 Bountiful Blessings

1. The moose, our freezer is filled. That was  a huge blessing.

2. I was able to see my Grandfather before he passed away.

3. I have the priviledge of being a mom that is at home. It isn't a glorified, high paying job but it is what I love doing. Being here daily to be a part of the lives of the 3 blessings we have been given is such a joy. There are days that I am tired, weary and feel like a tape recorder but that is not every day.

I think that our blessings are so bountiful that I could not list just three, but keep going on for quite some time.

Part B

Our Thanksgivings

For  quite a few years now we have hosted Thanksgiving dinners in our home. I thoroughly enjoy the food of Thanksgiving so I enjoy cooking that meal. Our meal is potluck with guests bringing dishes to share, this year I am not even making the turkey, two are being brought (one will be smoked). There will be about 15-17 people around our table(s) and I will love every minute of it! I come from a large extended family on my Mom's side so our meals were always large like this one.

Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

 

May the Lord find us faithful.
