 I will give thanks to the LORD with all my heart ;
 I will tell of all Your wonders.
Psalm 9:1

Christmas Greetings Sweet Friends,

Hope you are enjoying this special

time of the year!!  I am sure you

are busy,  but make sure to take

some time to really savor the Season!

I am reading a book called "The purpose

of Christmas"  by Pastor Rick Warren.

It's a lil small book and a great reminder

of why we celebrate Christmas!

I have also been working on Christmas

gifts,  and am happy they are coming

out well.   Shew!!  lol 

and I am about done!!  

It has also been a great week for my

hubby which makes me so happy for

him and of course, this is

my

 #1

 Thankful

I am thankful

that hubbies old boss signed him

up to go to a seminar with him.

They went yesterday and the first

session he learned some really great

 info that will help him with his business 

he is working on,  and he also learned

other things as the day went on.

Not surprised really!! 

#2

I am thankful

for answered prayer....... we knew

they were having give aways at the

seminar,  things like Ipods and Ipads.

So I prayed all day that if there was

something he needed for his business

that the Lord would let him win it!

and He did!!  He won the last and

most expensive giveaway!!

At first, he didn't know what it was

but it turned out to be a drive for

your computer that will protect you

from losing any information should

your hard drive go out on your computer.

Something you would definitely want

if you have a business but didn't even

know about!!  How cool is that!!

God is sooo good!!

#3

I am thankful

that hubby finally finished what he

has been working on and was able

to take the next step the Lord has

directed him to take.

Now hopefully,  the Lord will give

us a new directive!!

I find He sort of unrolls things like

a scroll....a lil at a time!!

That's probably so He doesn't scare

us to death!!  lol

#4

I am thankful

for a surprise package that came in

the mail last Friday.  It was from a

sweet lil gal that I have had the 

priviledge to encourage and mentor

over the last 2 years after her

husband left her with 3 children.

It was a really neat lil gadget

designed to make a quick cup of

tea.  You put loose tea inside

and pour in hot water and let it

steep for 3 mins. then just put

it on top of your cup and it drains

a nicely steeped tea into your

mug.  It came with a nice

 assortment of teas as well.

Sweet!!
Been drinking lots of tea!! lol

#5

I am thankful

for another Sweet surprise we rec'd on 

Sat. morning.  A gift of Yankee Candles

that we rec'd from the lil couple we have 

been working with since last March along

 with a sweet Christmas card.

These special surprises meant so much

to us I guess because of the people
they came from!!

#6

I am thankful

for the wonderful time we had shopping

with a sweet lady at the Toybox ministry,

last Friday. It was truly a blessing to us

and to her.  We know her well, so it was 
fun being with her.  We even went out
to eat together afterwards.

#7

I am thankful

that I know how to read and write.

I was just reading earlier about some

one who said they couldn't read when

they were younger and had learned

late in life by reading the Bible.

How neat is that!!

#8

I am thankful

Sam's wholesale got in some more

red velvet cheesecakes.  Hubby had

spied them back at Thanksgiving

but we weren't sure we could fit it

in the freezer with all the other things

for Thanksgiving.........

  then went back last week and they 

were all gone...........

they got more in this week!! Yeah!!
Hubby was really wanting that 
for christmas dessert.

#9

I am thankful

for delightful Christmas music.....

it just makes me happy everytime

I hear it!!  It is just such a blessing!!

#10

I am thankful

for heating and a nice warm cozy

 bed during these nights we have

 gone to freezing!

#11

I am thankful

that Becky over at Holday in the Sun

had plastic snow and brought it to 

me for my Christmas tree!!

I have been looking everywhere for

some........and since we have a faux

tree I just didn't think it was gonna

look too good without it,  so I am

ecstatic over that snow!!  lol

#12

I am thankful

for all the lil and big ways God shows
 me that He loves me and cares about

every detail of my life.
Doesn't get any better than that!!
