Spirited Sons

Welcome to My Blog!

Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for! I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all! This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here. Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do! Blessings!

How Great Thou Art!

Posted in Celebrations!

This morning I feel compelled to count the wonderful blessings God has given over the last few days or weeks. It sounds like a Thankful Thursday entry, but this is clearly not Thursday. So, I am thinking about how fabulously great God is today. Will you join with me in praising Him for His goodness and faithfulness and mercy?

Thank you, Father, for all the things that clearly show Your fingerprints on my everyday life!

For working in my marriage. . .and then some
For giving my Hero encouragement to seek Your face
For blessing him with favor in Your eyes and in other people's
For the interviews that bless both Hero and me
For putting precious friends in my life at just the right time
For helping me finish the things You prepared in advance for me to do
For two amazing sons who are learning to seek Your face
For the many things You have entrusted to us
For the provision to maintain those things You entrusted to us
For an upcoming vacation with family that will be enjoyable and relaxing
For the sale on shoes for $7 a pair and two great pairs *grin*
For honoring my attempts at keeping one day set apart for You
For. . .*sigh*. . .our feathery alarm clock, Sunshine
For tile and paint and other blessings we can use to beautify our home
For this therapeutic blog!

"Lord, you are good and your mercy endures forever!:"

The Feeling of Completion!

Posted in Celebrations!

I have finished my edit projects for now, so I plan to take a few days to enjoy doing NOTHING! It feels good to finish those things I needed to complete. :')

Have a happy Thursday, ladies!

Memorial Day Observance

Posted in Celebrations!

I'd like to take a moment to reflect on all of those men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. No matter how I feel about international conflict, I can't ignore the basic fact that so many have given up so much for us who sit in our very safe homes in our very safe country.

*a moment of silence to pray*

To those of you who have served, lived with someone who served, or lost someone who served--bless you! I am personally deeply grateful.

Happy Mother's Day!

Posted in Celebrations!

I'm going to guess the bulk of my friends are, ummm, mothers. (Sorry, Arby, if you're reading along. Please be sure to give The Boss the appropriate Mother's Day spa treatment.) This is a very special time in this house. It's the one time of year I might be able to play the "guilt" card a little more effectively. :'P "You wouldn't disobey your Mother on *dramatic pause for effect* Mother's Day weekend, would you?" I might say. *grin*

I'll have to sort that out with God later tonight, I suppose. ;')

Anyway, I wanted to be sure to wish you all a fabulous Mother's Day. I wanted to tell you all how much so many of you pour into me through your little corner of the Blog Universe. I wanted you to know you are wonderful friends and "blog neighbors" to me. Thanks! May your day be blessed in so many ways. May your children rise up and call you. . .AWESOME. (I never got into the being called blessed thing, myself.)

My lovely family will be enjoying the afternoon with my in-laws when my Dashing Hero finishes serving. It should be a lot of fun. It will be a two-fer day, Mother's Day and Habanero's celebration all in one. Good food and sugar will be had by all, I imagine. :'D

I've gotten two lovely gifts from my family. My Hero made it possible to put slate tile in our teeny, tiny entryway. I learned a new skill and have a lovely floor. He gets the praises! *grin* He also got me a lovely, shiny gift. I'll have to see if I can do pictures. It's really, really pretty and shiny! :'D At least part of it is as close to eternal as we get on this planet. ;')

I'd love to hear about your special day! I hope you have great standing ovations from your family members. I hope you hear trumpet fanfare announcing your fantastic arrival wherever you go. If not, like me, you can just imagine it all. It does wonders for your morale! *lol*
