Thursdays Before the Throne
With over 600 blog entries, I had to do a Google search to see if I had posted this before! (Like I said-I love to blab!!) I couldn't find it, but even if I have posted it before, the words bear repeating & the YouTube video I uploaded is a STUNNING performance!

"I Then Shall Live"
I then shall live as one who's been forgiven.
I'll walk with joy to know my debts are paid.
I know my name is clear before my Father.
I am His child and I am not afraid.
So greatly pardoned, I'll forgive my brother.
The law of love I gladly will obey.
I then shall live as one who's learned compassion.
I've been so loved I'll risk loving, too.
I know how fear builds walls instead of bridges.
I'll dare to see another's point of view.
And when relationships demand commitment,
Then I'll be there to care and follow through
Your kingdom come-around and through and in me!
Your power and glory-let them shine through me!
Your Hallowed name, oh may I bear with honor!
And may Your living Kingdom come in me!
The Bread of Life, O' may I share with honor.
And may You feed a hungry world through me.
Amen, Amen, Amen

Happy Birthday to the Love Of My Life.......(one day early)
& to the best husband & provider any woman could ever have!
You make me feel like a queen!

So…..part of me hesitates to post about this-
But, because my blog is partly an online journal of our family’s life-consider this a post for posterities sake.
Tonight was Nat-Nat’s last bottle.
Yeah, I know, I know.
He’s 2.5.
“Probably way too old for a bottle”-fess up, I know some of you are thinking that! (& hence, my slight hesitation with tonight’s topic!!)
But, he was only having one right before bed.
& we have our reasons for letting it drag on this long.
~We had some real “attachment” issues with him when he came home, & I knew one way to work on that was to feed him all his bottles while rocking him.
~He has always been such a small little peanut that we wanted to give him just as much nourishment as we could get in his system.
OK……if I am going to be quite honest-there is also a part of me that is just a bit melancholy when I think, "There will probably be no more need for bottles at our house." He is probably our last baby.
I think this feeling’s pretty common! Please tell me you have felt this way!
20% of me wants all my babies back-for just a few moments!!
80% of me is looking forward in anticipation to each new milestone.
But before I sign off, can I just say, “Would someone please pass the Kleenex?”
(Just kidding-sort of!!)
P.S. To all those visiting my blog from FFF, sorry-I know this doesn't exactly fit the theme....

Another Project......long overdue
Since we married 11 years ago, I have been collecting recipes-like every good wife….:)
I quickly discovered just shoving them in a drawer wasn’t the best solution for organizing them, so made up my own system of organization!
I purchased some of those plastic sleeves that go in a three-ring binder, & categorized the cards, slips of paper & magazine pages.
It was a cheap & easy fix, but at the time I didn’t realize there were systems like that were beautiful & organized-that I could buy!
I finally found one, & I am thrilled with the fact that I can see all the recipes-instead of having them shoved in a pocket.
I also love that this beautiful book is almost like a scrapbook of all those important family recipes.
How do you store your recipes?

With the idea of putting our house on the market soon, a few weeks ago, we began the process of having it re-sided. You can see the old blue under the new green. (& I am super happy, since I have never really been a "blue house" type of girl....)
We want it to look every bit as good (or better) than the houses around us......in this economy, every little bit helps. :)
We got a really good deal on it, since our house is on the corner, & they want to use it for advertising.....
