Thankful Thursdays ~ This Is An Easy One!

Posted by on May 17, 2012 in Thankful Thursdays | 0 comments

This was one of those Thankful Thursday that was so easy to write. Today the Eldest Son of Thunder turns fourteen.  Now that part isn’t so easy. It is not because of his age so much, but rather that we are in the throes of puberty here at the Winters Villa. White means black, up means down, no stands for negotiations, and well, you get the point.  It is really crazier than normal around here.  Welcome to our life. Yippie ! ! The SON’S  birthday reminds Winters and I of a time when we lived...

Thankful Thursdays~Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart!

On This Thankful Thursday I am reminded of the week ahead.  It will be Spring Break in Newnan and the Sons of Thunder will be thundering through the house, yard, neighborhood and everywhere else in between. Mothers all over Coweta County are gearing up for a busy week. But I point my heart and mind to the good blessing we have. I am so grateful the Sons can run! I am grateful I have ears to hear their loud yells and tender words like “I love you” and I am grateful I have eye sight to see all their...

Inner Peace … Inner Peace … Inner Peace … In your mind’s eye, imagine sitting in a relaxing meditative state with stillness all around you and the words “inner peace” are calmly being repeated over and over in your mind. You feel serene, with a euphoric type of transcendence and most of all, an inner peace! Hello? Who are we  kidding here!  Inner peace in the midst of screaming children, barking dogs, piles of laundry and toys strewn everywhere. If you are a mother you are...

Thankful Thursday~It’s A Good Day When A Son Asks For Prayer

Today on this Thankful Thursday as we headed to school, the middle Son of Thunder was a bit out of sort. This is unusual for him because he is usually calm, cool and collected.  That is unless he see a scary movie.  But today was different. It was different because he was running for a position as a 4-H officer for the fifth grade class.  Trying out for anything can be a bit unnerving. And he was indeed nervous. As he worked on his speech and rehearsed it to us, he confessed he was a bit scared. Really, I think...

Thankful Thursdays~Helping Others Fulfill Their Purpose

Life is full.  It always is and many things pull and tug on our lives and cry out for our attention. I have always said Tiger Woods would not be the golfer he is today if his mother had 5 children.  Let’s be honest, we can all only give so much.  The joke around here is at the end of the day there is very little love left over, for even the cats.  They are on their own. After caring for the  three SONS, one husband ( who I must admit is very low maintenance) one dog who thinks she can fly (and who is...
