What are you truly Thankful this Thanksgiving Holiday

What I am truly Thankful for is My Salvation(Jesus Christ who gave his life so that I could have life eternally).I am also truly thankful for is My Family, My Friends,The USA and the Soldiers who fight for our Freedom Daily. There are so much that we have that we are thankful for. This Thanksgiving Holiday Season why not take the Time to say your thanks. I try not to limit my Thanksgiving(Thank fullness)to just one day a year. I have what I call a Blessing Journal that I write what I am truly blessed with and thankful for. I am thankful that in America We have a Job still (though the economy is really unsteady). We have a Roof over our Heads. We have Clothes on our Back. We have Water,Power,Food on our Tables, We have many extras. We are not Destitute. We are truly blessed here in America. So I ask you this Thanksgiving Holiday Season What are you truly Thankful for this Thanksgiving Holiday Season?

FAITHFUL AND TRUE

The Wonderful Names of our Wonderful Lord Hurlburt and Horton The Christian Library Faithful and True And He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True. Revelation 19:11 To no one else could that title be applied but the Lord Jesus, who was Himself the Way,the Truth,and the Life. He was faithful to the truth always and faithful in its application,whether in promises of blessings or cursing.Listen to the precious promise, "I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am, there ye may be also." But the other is equally true,"Depart from me ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth."There is no change in the Written Word. Lord,We believe in Thee and in Thy Word.May we never depart from it. Keep us faithful and true to Thee until the long expected call comes and we shall be taken up to be with Thee forever. Amen.

More Recipes my Family and I enjoy. I came across this recipe from All HomemadeCookies.com Cake Mix Cookies Recipe #2 Yields about 4 dozen cookies 1 box cake mix(any variety) 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips(can substitue caramel or peanut butter chips or do a combination) 1/2-1 cup oatmeal(I always put in as much as I can!) 1/2 cup oil 2 eggs slightly beaten 1/2 cup raisins(optional) 1 tsp. vanilla(optional) nuts(optional) Steps Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients, blending well. If the mixture is too stiff, add a little water. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute before removing from the cookie sheets. For altitudes above 3500 feet, add 1/4 cup flour to dry cake mix. Varriation: Use White Cake Mix and add a pudding mix. If you use pudding, you will need to add some water(about 1/4 cup). Also, the pudding tends to make the cookies sweeter.

What Style of Decorating Do you all like as well as your family like... What Style of Decorating Do you all like as well as your family like? I know that My Family and I like the HomeMade/County Lived In Comfortable to our Family look and Inviting. We live in a Small Home and We live on a Very Tight Income at this time. We still have our Home to Pay Off fully off and then we will be Totally Debt Free. So I am trying to work around our Budget to decorate with mostly things we already have or have the time and a little bit of Spending Money to buy the things we need as well as sometimes the things we want. We also love to Collect Antiques. We were given a Nice Rug to put in our Living Room that My Sister had bought but she could no longer use it so she gave it to us. Now our Living Room is starting to look more Like my Family and I want it to. I also on occassion will go to Dollar General one of My Favorite Stores and Buy Silk Flowers to use around our Home to Give it more of the Look My Family and I enjoy. Does anyone want to share what there Decorating Style as well as there Family's style of Decorating maybe or even any tips, advice, or Suggestions?

Viewing what God has Called me to Do as a Blessing and Not a Burden. I am a Stay at Home Wife first. I am also a Stay at Home Momma. I am also a Stay at Home Homemaker and HomeschoolTeacher. I often times find myself very discouraged and not wanting to be home taking care of our home , and my Family. The reason I often times find myself so discouraged and not wanting to take care of my Family and Home is because I leave God out of the Picture until the End of the Day. God should be the first in my Life not the Last and he should not get the Leftovers he should get the First Fruits of all I do. Then I can serve my Beloved Darling Husband and DarlingDaughter and other Family Members with True Happiness and Cheer and Sweet Attitude and a Sweet Manner. My Husband,Daughter and the Rest of My Family Deserves to have Me in a Good Happy Mood so they in Return will be in a Good Happy Mood. I have found that when I don't Give God the First Fruits of all I do Everyone Suffers Especially Me. I will choose to be Up Early to Give God all my First Fruits from Now on. I will Choose Peace, Joy, Cheery Attitude , Actions and Manners, I will choose True Happiness . I will choose Contentment and Most of all I will be in God's Will for my life as well as the Life of my Family.
