Simple Devotions

For Today…

Dear Lord,

I bring you my shortcomings… my frustration when things don’t quite go my way!

I bring you my worship and praise… Thank you so much LORD for the time together as a family last night as we listened to hubby play Christmas Carols on his violin…It has been so long! And what a joy..though I cannot sing right now what a joy it is to my heart to quietly praise you!

I bring you my prayer… for grace and mercy IN EVERY area!

You spoke to me… in a message this past Sunday the was so amazing. I had a struggle during Sunday school and then you answered and comforted me Lord during the morning worship service. It just shows that you are an all knowing God and knew my circumstances long before i did and prepared the way for my heart to be mended! THANK YOU LORD!

I am back This week and doing a lot better So Thanks so much for all of you who prayed for Everything!

Now on to my tackle. I will list them this week ONLY because I have no desire to make ANY of my dear friends Ill!

Our First tackle Happened on Saturday..
1. We went and got our Christmas tree–A wonderful gentleman in our churchg gave us a free fresh one! I love it–I started to decorate it BUT Alas it was time to go to bed.

2. Hubby put new windows in our bay…In the den! They were SOO old! They were held up by hand made nails which cost a pretty penny today

3. We were given a deer last night so That needed to be butchered and put in the freezer! (that is why I am not doing pictures today!)

4. I need to clean up the sink area today…Not hard at all!

5. Christmas presents to be made! (also why i am not posting pictures today)

Check back later for pictures of all the progress on some pictures!…..on Some things!
