Thank You, Father

So tomorrow starts my favorite 2 months of the year! When I was a child, I loved this time of year when we were getting together with family for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love fellow-shipping (is that even a word??) with family members and seeing everyone laugh and be merry. Tis the season to use old words! 

I just posted on facebook. My heart aches because this is such a rough time of year for some many people. This year, it seems the devil is working super hard at bringing us down. 

I know so many people that are dealing with awful diagnosis's. My grandfather was just told today that his brain tumor has started growing again after being dormant for 15+ years. He'll be 70 when we all get together to celebrate Christmas this year. 

If I'm completely honest with myself, I know that things like this are going to happen when loved ones get older. And part of me was just waiting for this to happen. Is this lack of faith? I think it is....or just fear....I don't know. 



My grandpa has had already 1 brain tumor removed, prostate cancer and 1 off the charts unbelievable heart attack.

God has been mighty in his life and I know that He can heal him just like He did all those other times. I know that God's will is good and just. And no matter what, my heart will choose to bless the Lord!

I just got done making a pear and apple sour cream pie for my husbands family get together tomorrow. OHHHHH please be good, pleeeeease be good! *crosses fingers and winches* It looks and smells great but I was kinda unsure about how the filling looked. I'll fill ya in on how it turned out tomorrow! 




So none of you know this (unless your my husband) but I have been wanting to buy Shaklee cleaning products for some time now. However, my husband and I are trying soooo hard to budget our money better and since I have cleaning products already, I just windowed shopped. (I'm not going to lie though, I have been letting my oven get as gross as possible so I can clean it and show before and after pictures like a lot of people do. hehehehe) 

Sooooo...(here is the good part) I follow a blog that sells Shaklee and the lady that sells this will often have giveaways or post links to other blogs that are having giveaways for samples of this cleaner.

 A few weeks ago, I entered a giveaway and low and behold, the other day I got an email saying I WON!!! 



I am sooo super excited and checking the mail box every chance I get! I will post before and after pictures once I get it and clean up some grim! 



This was kinda a random post and I promise to try harder to blog more often! I want to start taking pictures of food I cook and crafts I do. 





Have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving! God Bless!
