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

Posted by on Oct 13, 2011 in Inspiration, Thankful Thursdays | 2 comments

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...

Thankful Thursdays~ There Are No Words, But Then Again Maybe There Are~

On this Thankful Thursday as we approach the tenth anniversary of 9/11, there are still no words to really describe the sorrow we all feel for our country and the lives lost that day.  The innocence we lost as a nation and as individuals.  As Winters said on his post, how do you describe and explain such a tragedy to children. Frankly, I must bee honest.  I shielded mine.  I shielded them from the pain and hurt I knew they would feel if they watched the videos and heard the recounted tails of horror.  But...

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...

It is 7:00 p.m. Eastern time and Tuesday has nearly come and gone.  Today is the LBD’s Guide to a FabYOUlous you.  A series I love writing. I thought seriously about what to share with you today.  And I pray this speaks to whoever needs to hear it. It spoke to me as I wrote it.  Funny that. As many of you all know, it has been a long four years for Winters and I.  Our family has embraced a lot of change, feelings I have not kept from you. With that change came a lot of sadness and grief.  As Winters...
