    ~ Happy Canadian Thanksgiving ! ~

     

    .

     

    I pray that you all are having a wonderful week end.  This is the week end that us folks North of the border are celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving.  We have 22 people for dinner tomorrow night.  Believe it or not most is family and a few that are friends.  It should be a lot of fun. 

    .

     I want to take the time to be thanful.   I am very thankful for ALL the Lord has given.  I am thankful for....

    • All the fruit and veggies the Lord blessed us with through the garden and friends.
    • For the beef, chickens, turkeys, and onions that have been ordered.
    • For the sales of my candles that have paid for some of what I need for supplies for my craft fair in November.
    • For my family and friends that have blessed my life.
    • For the freedom to homeschool my boys.
    • For the freedom to worship the Lord freely.
    • For my sweet hubby.
    • For my four boys.

    .

     



    "If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play! If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents. The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them be." ...Charlotte Mason

    Well, Happy Thanksgiving. Maybe it's earlier in Canada because harvest finishes sooner??? Anyhow, it seems like, "oh my" as our weather just recently turned from a balmy (upper 50's to 60's) Indian Summer to cold. I'm not ready for Thanksgiving. I pray you have a blast.

    Handsome and Me




    First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 19 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 17, 15, 11, and 9. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links on The House That God Built and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us. This blog is the home of Show and Tell Friday's and Tightwad Tuesdays. I hope you decide to join in on the fun ! Blessings and ((HUGS)) In Him<>< -Mary
