Simple Blessings

A magazine subscription gift from my Mom

Mom gave me this paper weight the other day.
I just love it. She offered me the other one.
I didn't take it but I think I will now.
I just love the bird!


Several sweet phone calls:
...... from my SIL, Dusty checking on baby!
......from my daughter, Mandy checking on baby!
.......from my daughter, Shannon who had a wreck but was not hurt!
Thank you Lord!

....... from my husband for no reason!
........from my daughter, Maranda to see how my day was going!
.........from my daddy just checking on me......from my friend, Janice checking on my head injury!
......from my sweet Mom to see how I was (even though it is her that has not felt good!)
.......from my SIL, Glo thanking me for the shower & the pictures on my blog.
(She doesn't need to thank me, she has done so much for my family as long as I can remember. She is the most giving person!)
DON'T YOU JUST LOVE MY PHONE???

I am so thankful for my old (10 year old) stove. They had told me it would costs 638.00 to fix it. So we went shopping.......just to find out that a Jenn Aire stove is now 2800.00!!! Yikes! We paid 1000.00 for it 10 years ago. But the repair man came and fixed it for 182.00. I gladly paid him. This was sure a blessing!

A visit from my best friend, Vicki.
I gave her a neck pillow & a pin cushion that I made just for her. But she gave me so much more just for visiting and giving of her time. She is a blessing and it made my day.

Pawpaw coming home to play with grandson! More than precious!

A sweet gift from my daughter Mandy!
I love charm squares! (she also brought supper)
*******
My Son, Nathan also offered us supper tonight.
Do I have sweet children or what?

I was so thankful that I had a little time in the sewing room.
This is a surprise for my oldest grandaughter, Triston.

I just had to share some simple, yet precious blessings from today. I have heard this said at church so many times, but it is so true. We could offer the Lord a million thanks and it would not be enough.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY NIECE "BABY SANNA"!

I love the paper weight. We have the same kind of bird that feeds at our birdfeeder. I love the phone as well. My mom used to have one almost exactly like yours. I think I still have it tucked away.

You have a beautiful and caring family and you are very, very blessed. I enjoy visiting your site Valerie.

Blessings,

Hey, you are more than welcome to have the other paperweight! I am so glad you love it. I think the other one is of a partridge.
I am so proud your stove is finally fixed, and needless to say, little Davis is such a joy!
Love
MOM
