The Lord Hears

by Alison on October 29, 2009

This morning’s reading in my Experiencing God Day-by-Day, The Devotional and Journal, spoke to me in so many ways.

“God has designed His kingdom so that Christians with kindred spirits jointogether.”

Matthew 18:20 tells us, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” The devotional goes [...]

Another Bug So Soon

by Alison on October 28, 2009

Big J (10), Baby J (just turned 1!) and Little M (2) seem to have picked up a bit of a ‘common cold’ bug- very runny nose, watery eyes, a bit of a cough, thankfully no fevers, so no, I do not think this is the flu, seasonal or swine, excuse me, H1N1. I know [...]

Sort of Like Musical Chairs

by Alison on October 27, 2009

One of our local mailmen, no, really…

His name is Elvis, and he has left the building,
‘cuz, you know, he’s got mail to deliver…
Notice the curled lip? hehe…
Tonight there was a made-up game- there was singing and dancing, and quick sitting on the scattered blankets on the great room floor. There was a [...]

Time Is Running Away From Me

by Alison on October 20, 2009

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. — Ferris Bueller

Yep, life is always moving fast around here. I’m not really sure what happened to the rest of my summer, and my fall, though I suppose some of it got sucked up into [...]

Rank Watermelon Blues

by Alison on October 17, 2009

Tonight’s PSA: Too many watermelons kept for too long on the counter will eventually lead to one of them leaking- this is not a good thing, that is not a good smell… and the moral of the story is, when one harvests a TON of watermelon at the end of the season, one really should [...]

I Have Ten Apples Up On Top

by Alison on October 15, 2009

Actually, I have many, many, many, more than that. I fear there may be more than we can get through- but we are trying!

We were blessed with a short-notice outing to an orchard owned by a friend of a friend (you see, sometimes it’s all about who you know) last weekend. It was cold, freezing [...]

Many Hands Make Light Work

by Alison on October 10, 2009

 
I sent the children off to tidy their rooms late yesterday morning. The timer was set for 15 minutes, one of my favorite new habits from flylady, and they were working hard to see who could get the cleanest room- the winners were promised a Sprite. Our children don’t often get pop, so every now [...]

Partly Cloudy

by Alison on October 9, 2009

I wasn’t sure if the camera would be able to capture the awesome sky we had at a recent soccer game. When I probably should have been taking pictures of soccer players, especially the one that’s mine, I was extremely distracted by this glorious sight. Years ago, one of my favorite ladies on this earth, [...]

Remain Calm, and I’ll Try To Too…

by Alison on October 7, 2009

No really, don’t panic. I lost all of my nice formatting when I moved the blog over to my new domain. I just need to find some time to rework it… that should be easy to find, or not… soon, I hope, soon.

In the meantime, I’m still endeavoring to enjoy them,
each one [...]

Sunday Hymn, My Savior First of All

by Alison on October 4, 2009

My Savior First of All
Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915
(#502 in “Great Hymns of the Faith“)

When my life-work is ended and I cross the swelling tide,
When the bright and glorious morning I shall see,
I shall know my Redeemer when I reach the other side,
And His smile will be the first to welcome me.

(CHORUS)
I shall know Him, I [...]
