Comptuer Fail...

I have been having lots of trouble with my computer for about a week.
Emails going wacko and my blogger site going even more wacko.
I think it is now all figured out.
So, how are you??
Life after the election?
I won't get into all of that except to say...we must carry on and do our best to love and help people around us and to promote the name of Jesus. Only He can change hearts and give hope.
Gonna get even more rough here in the good ole USA?

Yes, probably. 

Psalm 31:24Be strong and take heart,
all you who hope in the Lord.

We are so very much looking forward to Thanksgiving and time to fellowship with family.

We need to:
Take deep breaths and walk leaf strewn paths while feeling the sun on our backs.    
Sit in front of a roaring fire and with a warm cup of
coffee in our hands joining in the laughter of dear people we love.    
See the sun come up over the field and count the number of deer dancing across our view.
Count our incredible blessings that are too many to list.     
Try to go to sleep in bunk room full of boys that won't stop talking and try to sleep over snores and people being goofy and we will love it.    
Give thanks over a beautiful table of food made with loving hands and praise our God for even one more Thanksgiving together.
These lovely words blessed me the morning after the elections.
They seemed to say to keep smiling, living, giving, hoping and seeking to fulfill my role in this world for God.
Almost as if God was saying- "Don't miss it! Don't miss what I have for you!"
Another blessing of this week was attending a Needtobreathe concert last Monday night. For all of you old rockers out there this might be the band for you if you like Rock and The Rock. This band rocks and talks about God in most of their songs. I was really moved by one of their acoustic songs- The Difference Maker.
Look it up. You will like it I think.
Blessings! Amy

I enjoyed this post. Rarely get to read nor write much these days....thanks to one chunky monkey little lady, but I know it's a season. I appreciated this post for I plan to spend as much time possible (soaking it all in) over Thanksgiving break.

Much love -

Enjoy.  Alaska memories. Love this fat Santa above. Thrilled with how this little wreath turned out. Happy Christmas decorating! Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
