Snowy Days......

Ok, so after seeing the pictures on Shari's blog I thought I would post some of my own. Now these are actual pictures taken today (Sunday) of our house and there is one of our neighbours who's car is buried under the snow. (second top left pic.)

I must say it's kind of fun, if only we had little kids we could go tobogganing down some hills. Maybe we'll rent some.....I'm kidding. Hope everyone is digging out ok.

Until next blog, happy shovelling!!!!

Gratitude Saturday

Well, 22 years ago today, Todd and I were married.  We had this much snow for our wedding day.  I remember staying at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa, and the snow was falling just like today.  Not that I am a fan of the snow but it's good to reminisce.  

• I am grateful for having a loving husband who makes me laugh on  a daily basis.
• I am grateful for having two wonderful children.
• I am grateful after 22 years we are still in love with each other.
• I am grateful that we can look back at the last 22 years and see the adventures and situations that God has been with us every step of the way.
• I am grateful to say that we are best friends and enjoy our time together.
• I am grateful that we both enjoy traveling together.

I am looking forward to what is ahead for Todd and I, with weddings and some day grand-babies, we will enjoy growing old together.  

Ryan's Trip

Well, Ryan is home!!!! I thought I would post some of his

pictures so that you get an idea of what he experienced.

He arrived home last night or early this morning, I think very happy to see us and be home in his nice warm bed. He did show me the mysterious soars on his knee and elbow. He seems to think they were bed bug bites. YUCK!!!! Just the thought of that gives me the willies.

Anyway, just thought I would share some of his journey with you all. He took some pictures of cars for his dad and he took a couple of pictures of the bathroom that they had to use when they were in Malita. Grace, Grace........

We are proud of Ry, and he had a blast!!!!

Over flowing Blessings

Our God is a running-over God! He doesn’t want you to just have barely enough to meet your own needs, God wants you to be so blessed that when other people get around you, it overflows onto them! He wants you to be so blessed in your finances that not only can you pay your bills and accomplish your own dreams, but you can be a blessing to others. In the same way that a parent loves to see their children doing well and excelling, God wants you to do well and excel in every area. He takes pleasure in prospering you. But the key is that you have to make room for it in your thinking. You have to expect that He wants to bless you. Take a step of faith today toward the dreams that are in your heart. Begin to thank Him for His abundance in every area of your life. Declare that because you walk in obedience, God’s blessings are going to chase you down and overtake you! Don’t just settle for a “good enough” mentality, develop an overflow mentality, and you’ll see God’s hand of blessing in every area of your life!

Let the Lord be magnified Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant (Psalm 35:27)

The sky is the limit!!!!!!!!!
