I have been pondering prayer and receiving answers to prayers this past week. I think of the things I prayer for... greater faith, love, holiness, wisdom, discernment, God's grace, courage, patience, the joy that only God can grant along with the basic daily needs my family and I stand in need of each day... and… Continue reading Expect the Unexpected

#bethelight – Day 19
Yesterday I commented on a few of my favorite blogs. I love to read the thoughts of others. I love when they uplift me. Today I will practice saying please and thank you more often... especially for my trials. "And in nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 19

Family Comes First
Resigning as the General Manager of the Universe
I have been struggling about what to write for Family Friday this week because I didn’t get any pictures and our week has been ordinary and usual. Then it dawned on me, EVERY DAY is a family day! Family comes first… even on busy weeks our activities reflect that family comes first.
The importance of family can not be overstated. Family is the gift that God gives us at birth. Families are the first nurturers, educators, protectors, and caregivers. Somethings never change.

Today I have have to say how satisfied I am with essential oils. I have used oils for years and I have many reasons why I have done away with a medicine cabinet and filled my house with sweet smelling oils.
They WORK! I really don’t know what else I can add to that that comments. Oils seriously have changed my world. Nearly every day we reach for an essential oils again and again. Now we use peppermint for tummies, and lavender, for calming. Lemon drops are in the gallons of water I drink.
Essential oils can be used in many ways: aromatically, topically, and internally. (I do need to add that not every oil should be taken internally. Be sure to read the bottle. If it doesn’t say “for dietary use” you should probably not swallow it).
Essential oils are easy to take on the go. My purse has…

#bethelight – Day 18
Yesterday I bought pies. I don't eat pies. I will be spreading the joy forward and dropping a pie or two on some unsuspecting porch. I just wanted to contribute to the fundraising happening in my school. The fund raising continues. Tonight is the Panther Auction, a fund raiser for sports in my school. Choir… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 18
