Day 2 of Thanksgiving...

Today, I am thankful to have this man in my life...a wonderful, hard-working husband and father. He works from sun up until sun down to provide for our family...has even done so when not feeling well {like the time he had the flu...104 temp along with it...and while down in his back...SERIOUSLY!!!}. Nevermind the fact that he is a welder and has done so inside of a massive tank with temps soaring well above 120 degrees!!! Talk about having a HOT man in my life :)

There is absolutely no way that I will ever be able to completely express my gratitude to him for all that he does.

Thank you for loving me, T...no matter what!!! Love you with all of my heart!!!

Day 1 of Thanksgiving...

I challenge each of you to join me as I thank God each day for one {of many} of His blessings...

Today...I am thankful for His son, Jesus Christ. Without Him...I would simply be nothing. He died for me {and you} and has promised each of us a seat at His side in eternity as long as we accept Him as our personal Savior.

As I reflect back on this year, I am reminded of such sadness and loss. Death has occured more this year than in any other year that I can recall. I have witnessed parents lose their newborn child {more than I care to remember}...I have witnessed parents lose both of their teenage sons...I have witnessed young families lose their husband/father and sooo much more. But, above all of this {and thru the darkest of moments}, I have witnessed God's grace and unfailing love. He has seen these families thru these times and continues to hold them up...even when life seems absolutely unbearable. Doesnt that just take your breath away?!?! Knowing that no matter what...He is with us and will carry us. All we have to do is cry out to Him.

It is my prayer that each of you see His many wonderful blessings in your life, but above all...I pray that you feel His love.

Blessings to each of you...M

a promise is a promise...right?!?!

This post is gonna be short and sweet, but I told y'all that I had an uh-may-zing giveaway to share....so, here ya go:

CHECK THIS OUT!!!

Kinda makes your heart go "SWOON", huh?!?!

Best of luck to all!!!

Hugs...Misty

are you SERIOUS?!?!

He has the FLU?!?! Yep...my youngest tested positive for the flu this week...UGH!!! His case is the first positive case for the local clinic....guess it has to start somewhere, huh? I really thought it would end up being strep {you know...the whole 104.7 temp!}, but when that came back negative, the ped wanted to test for the flu 'just to be safe'. Sure enough, my little guy tested positive :( Thankfully, his fever is staying MUCH lower and he seems to be on the mend now!!!

What does this mean for all of you...my WONDERUL & AWESOME readers? I will be back to the blogging world just as soon as I have sanitized my house from top to bottom!!! PROMISE!!!
