Random Thoughts

A few random things.. ****The coolest thing happened yesterday. I was sweeping the floors and the name of a friend came to mind. I thought that I needed to email her and check on her. Really check on her, find out how she is really doing. A few minutes later the phone rang and it was a woman that I didn't know asking if I knew the friend I had just been thinking of! It turns out, my friend is going to be speaking close to where I live and she had told this lady to contact me & see if my church may want to attend. I told the woman that I had been thinking of my friend and we should pray for her today since she was on both of our minds and hearts. So, I email my friend. And as I was emailing her, she was emailing me the answers to all of my questions and checking on me. It was the strangest thing. Isn't God a hoot??!! I laughed and I know my friend did too. I think God laughed right with us! I love Christian friends, they are the best! ****Yesterday was a stormy Monday and I loved it!! ****I hate picking out ice cream for my family. Some don't like chocolate, some don't like nuts, some won't eat vanilla, not everyone likes strawberry. This explains why we don't ever have ice cream at my house. ****It looks as if we are headed to Branson to celebrate some birthdays this month. I'm so excited! ****The end of the school year is in sight. Can I get an Hallelujah from anyone??!! ****Tragic story. Word on the street is the pool may not open this year. I've not cried yet, but if it ends up being true and the pool is closed there will be waling and gnashing of teeth! ****I'll end with this. It doesn't serve anyone well if we live a life speaking negatively, not doing our best, and waiting on someone else to do what God has asked us to do. The world will not be a better place, God's Kingdom will not increase and your witness will not be what it should be if we sit, watch and wait for others to do what we need to be doing!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
