Special Treatment Today...

I'm enjoying special treatment today, because I didn't have to cook (smiles). My husband cooked our Sunday meal on Saturday. So when we all got home from church. We could just eat, no waiting, that's always a plus.

This picture was a previous meal that he had cooked, but today the menu was a little different. We had barbeque chicken, Lima beans, corn and cornbread, it looks pretty good too. Happy Sunday!!

Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;

For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.~KJV Bible~

Hebrews 11: 11-12

Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. ~KJV Bible~

Perilous Times...

Our bible study teaching this Sunday was about perilous times, and how we as people must stay watchful and prepared for the Lords imminent return.

No, no one knows when our Lord shall come again, even the angels of heaven do not know, but when he does, we want to make sure that we were living a life that was Holy and exceptable in his sight!

A Happy Sunday...

After a Blessed church service, a trip to ToysRus, and a visit to see family. We are now back home and my husband is doing much better today!

We started "Bubby's" birthday celebration today also, because his actual birth date is during the week, and we took him out today, so that we all could go together as a family.

He got a gift from the store, but has always LOVED helium balloons more than actual toys.He played and wrestled with that balloon so much until he has already burst it, and then the first thing he said was "I want another one"!!
