Thought for the day....

Sometimes in life we face things that we cannot handle alone. I am thankful this morning to be serving a God who can handle life for us. I am doing my best to listen to His "BE STILL and know that I am God."

Psalms 9:9 &10 reads, "The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

The girl's products

Some pictures from Christmas time

Benjamin enjoyed his reindeer antlers.

Grandma was holding the girls under the mistletoe and Grandpa was on his way to get them as you can see below.

Gift time---the kids were fun to watch

Benjamin's embarrassed look. His daddy loves this!!

My Kid's Hero.....at least for a day!!

I had an interesting day yesterday when about 2:00pm, Kendra came running downstairs and said, "Mommy, there's a bat in upstairs. At first, I thought it was a bird, then I saw it was a bat. I ran downstairs as fast as I could." I began thinking fast...What should I do. I said "OK we will just stay down here and maybe it will stay upstairs." NOT ON YOUR LIFE!! It flew downstairs within the 20 second mark and the kids, screaming bloody murder, were sitting on the chair waiting for their Mom to do something. Do I have to say, I HATE those things???!!! I grabbed the only thing I could think of and socked the thing out of the air than hit it again to make sure it wasn't going to move. Next I called my hubby who was miles away. What could he do??? Oh well, it felt better to talk to someone. After disposing of the victim, the kids and I just sat for stunned for awhile. Let me just say...that was TOO MUCH excitement for one day!!!
