Family Time!!

What a wonderful day ...

My brother showed up unexpectedly and we got to spend the whole day together.

I made an executive decision and 'made' the family take a morning walk ... and guess where we went? On the lake! What a lot of fun!

even Brennden had a good time ... although he probably wouldn't admit it out loud ...

We all had a "slide" in the middle of the

lake. It seemed strange to be doing it during spring/March break but the winter has been long and cold so I guess the lake is a little late in thawing.

After the walk we came home for chicken noodle soup, listened to music and hung out ....

finished the day with burgers on the bbq and ate out on the deck.

What a wonderful day!

Come on spring!

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 4: 4-7

So as for me I will press on in running the race

With my eyes fixed on Jesus

Who inspires and perfects my faith

I will fight the good fight

With all my heart and soul

Until the day that I'm with Jesus,

The day I'm finally home

The day that I have won the crown

Positivity ....

What is positivity?

A decision I think...

Are people positive or optimistic by nature or is it a decision to become positive or optimistic?

I used to be a positive person, how or where did I lose that?

Did I wake up one day and decide that I wasn't going to look on the bright side of things anymore?

Where did I go?

What happened to me?

What happened to my spirit?

I think I need to make steps to become more positive... but where do I begin?

Do I begin by being thankful?

Do I begin by being hopeful?

My newest quest is positivity ...

hmmmm???

silver linings

gratefulness

bless my enemies

okay then
