Hi everyone,
It really turned winter here last night! We have a foot of new snow and it was -14 below! The sun is shining today though, so that's a nice thing.
I'm looking forward to the Holidays. The smells of baking and a warm fire bring a kind of comfort in this freezing weather!
As the Thanksgiving Season approaches, I am thankful for many things. My family, knowing that I'm saved and going to Heaven, spiritual blessings that the Lord gives us everyday, and many other things. What a wonderful Saviour we have! We just don't comprehend how GOOD HE is. Thank you Lord for all you are to me!
Psalm 103:1-2 " Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits."
Have a wonderful weekend!

Thinking of Heaven
I've been thinking alot about Heaven these days. About what it will be like and seeing loved ones who have already gone there.
We had a friend who passed away in the beginning of June.
She really struggled with a bout of cancer , but throughout her last days she knew that she would soon be seeing the Lord. Her Pastor and several friends and family stood around her bedside in her last moments. They all saw how sick she was and noticed her eyes, how yellow and sickly they lo0ked, but when she passed into Glory, her eyes popped open and they were so bright and clear and beautiful! She saw Heaven and the Lord,we are sure!
My Grandma, also passed away some time ago and my mom said that one day she was in the room with her and Grandma asked her if she heard someone singing, my mom said no she didn't.
I'm sure that she heard Heaven's choir singing! We can't even imagine what we'll see. I know one thing ,it will be more beautiful than we could ever imagine.
Our one comfort in this world, as it gets farther and farther away from God , is that someday we will go HOME and see Jesus! What a wonderful thought to think on. Lift up your heads for your redemption draweth nigh.

Children are an heritage of the Lord
We just returned from Anchorage to bring our son Caleb to the airport. He is going back to Louisiana to get a job and live for awhile. We all miss him already!
While driving back home, I thought about how many times we take our children for granted. We get so busy in all the things around us that we often forget to tell them how much they mean to us. God gave me 7 beautiful children and each one is unigue and special. The Lord reminded me of how He is towards me. He never is too busy to spend time with me , and He's always lovingly steering me in the right direction. I often ask Him to make me a better mother, to remind me to see the little things in their lives and to take every opportunity to teach them of the Goodness of our Lord.
May I put aside the unimportant things and take time with my children, for too soon they'll be gone from my home, starting one of their own.
I'll write again soon,
