Thankful Thursday

Want to know what I'm thankful for? Well, I just want to thank the good Lord above for friends and family that are supporting us in "Operation: Boil the Egg". I will be testing out ONE of your recipes TONIGHT and will report the results soon!

If they turn out well, I will blame YOU! If they turn out poorly, I will blame YOU!

:) Heheh, you get the credit either way.

Thank you, seriously, for supporting us in both big and small ways. Although this mission is severely less important than some of our others, you still stepped in to help! You guys ROCK!

OK, I'll report my findings SOON!

P.S. For those who didn't see Tony's comment on the last post, he said he'd be happy to test out sample meatloafs from anyone who wanted to drop one by!

Thankful Thursday...on Wednesday night

This post is from Abby (top) and Laney (bottom).

Hi friends! We are thankful for great birthday gifts from friends (Chris, Sarah, Amaya, Paige, and Jaxon). We finally convinced Baba to put our "little white house" together. Now, if they would just trust us with markers to PAINT it!

P.S. I know my picture looks silly, but Mama said to say, "CHEEEESE" and really smile. So I did. Thanks for understanding, Abby.

Thankful Thursday

Ok, THANK the LORD Sarah posted on her blog about being thankful and not complaining. I needed to read that! It was like the Holy Spirit was tapping me on the shoulder (and by tapping me on the shoulder, I mean pounding me on the head).

I have been in a slump lately. Don't get me wrongI have so LITTLE to complain about. We had about the best Christmas and holiday break ever! I felt blessed beyond measure. My time was so precious with my family. I treasured every second...honestly! But in my "other life", my work life, I have been struggling. And really, it has a lot to do with how great my "real life" is. I miss my real life when I'm at work! I won't go into detail. but this year has been choc full of changes. And, if you know me, I like change just about as much as a going to the dentist. So add that to feeling like I'm missing tons of growing up time with my girls, and I've been one big, fat, Eeyore!

SOOOO, I need to just start opening my mouth a little wider (Sarah DID say I was loud!) and start praising Jesus for the opportunities He has blessed me with. I have a great job. Heck, who cares if it isn't great? During these tough economic times, I should praise Him if I have a rotten job...any job! Thank you Lord, for blessing me with a wonderful husband, children, family, friends, and job. I live to serve and praise You and I will do a better job at it!

P.S. I am also VERY VERY thankful for the beautiful bracelet that a new, dear friend Linny brought me back from Uganda. It is gorgeous and it will remind me to pray for her family, and for all those strong, beautiful, smart, loving orphans in Africa.
