Wonderful Trip To Oregon

We just got back from Oregon visiting my husband's family and having Thanksgiving at his Aunt's house, he got to see his grandmother, she is a beautiful Christian lady and at 96 years old she wakes up every day at 5:00 am and brings out her list of all her children and their families, her grand children and great grand children and prays for them every day then reads her Bible.

We got to play in the snow and work on our future retirement summer house, it sits on over 2 acres on top of a little hill over looking a beautiful green valley, there is abundant of wild life like deer and turkeys, we got to see beautiful trees with bright red, orange, and yellow colors and creeks and rivers with rushing waters.

The girls got to spend some time with grandma Edwards, she is one of the most wonderful Christian women I have ever met in my life, she was such a blessing to the girls, she showed them how to do so many different things in those few days we were with them, she is a master gardener, cook, baker, seamstress, quilter, decorator, painter, and much much more but the most important thing, she is a REAL CHRISTIAN, that is what I am blessed with when I am around her, I get to see an example of a godly women that has sacrificed her life for others, she truly is the virtuous woman of Prov. 31 in the Bible.

She saved some toys from when David was a little boy in a box and she brings them out whenever we go there for Nellie to play with.

Here is Nellie with grandma and great grandma that she was named after.

"WONDERFUL CHRISTIAN HERITAGE" PRAISE BE TO GOD...

those 2 women are another blessing on top of the hundreds of blessing that I am so thankful for that my ALMIGHTY GOD brought into my life after he saved me, but THE VERY FIRST BLESSING WAS......... "MY SALVATION"..........and it is the greatest gift I have ever received.

Oh, I almost forgot to write about the lady that got saved on my trip a couple of months ago, I got to see her and visit with her last week and she asked me about getting baptised, I explain to her after I led her to the LORD about baptism 2 months ago but she was not ready yet but now she said she did some reading and she really think that she needs to get Baptised in a good church, so I am going to call and find a Baptist church for her to go and get baptized.

that is another blessing that I am thankful for.

Only God Gives Life

It is so amazing to sit with my girls and watch those little creatures, I can see God's beautiful creation even though to some people this is not so exciting but in our family it is, just to see life being born in our house in front of my children to see and learn that only God can bring forth life, Iris keeps saying that she is amazed at how kind and caring the momma cat (Sassy) is. And how she is doing all she can to keep her kittens warm, fed, every time she hear them wining she moves so it get easy for them to nurse, she cleans then and they are so fluffy and they are only 1 day old.

There are baby kittens being born in our house

A few weeks ago we rescued 2 cats a white male and a gray, white and brown female, we were told that they were both fixed , so we had them together in the Arizona room , in the past couple of weeks we noticed that the female Sassy looked bigger every day, Iris said mommy I think she is pregnant, but I said there is no way they told us they were both fixed, so today I went out and saw the female Sassy all cuddled up in one of the cat beds and did not get up when I went to pet her so I went to see if she was OK, all of sudden I see 2 little baby kittens moving and she was so calm and still, I couldn't believe what I saw so I called Iris and whispered to her she got so excited and kept saying "see momma I told you" so we took them in her bedroom and got her a nice box and blanket, she now has 3 baby kittens and is so kind with them.

These pictures aren't very clear, I will post better ones later....

Winter is here....

It was 2 days ago when my little 4 year old Nellie said mommy I am cold, can you please make a fire in the fire pit, so David took us in the truck to our down the street neighbor that sells fire wood and got a bunch of good fire logs and started the fire, it felt so good to sit down watch the flanes and hear cracklings of the wood, so we proclaimed it winter in our house.

Too early for Christmas Decorations!!!!!!!

That is what people said to us when we were putting our Christmas decorations all over our house in and out, Well we already have our Christmas tree up, Christmas lights on wreaths and all kind Christmas music on, besides the beautiful Christmas songs that Iris plays through out the day and Nellie and I sing along, can you tell WE LOVE CHRISTMAS?!?!?!?!?!?

Yes in fact we believe it is the most important and glorious event ever happened in the history of this world and here is why:

1. GOD himself (JESUS) came down from heaven to earth.

2. GOD himself (JESUS) became one of us.

3. GOD himself (JESUS) had to suffer, and die here on earth, AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD so man can BELIEVE on him and go to heaven.

There is no other holiday more precious to my heart than this and I do not mind celebrating it with my family 2,3,4 months of the year even all year long, so please celebrate it and lets us give pleasure to the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, The Almighty God and Creator JESUS CHRIST, The Lord of Glory.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseler, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.

God did good again, another soul saved, another name added in the book of life...

It was an easy going day for the girls and me today, prayed and did my stretching while I was listening to the Bible reading, had to go to the store to get some stuff.

We have been praying for our next door neighbors to get saved and that God will open the door for us to witness to them and share the precious Gospel of our Lord Jesus, well after Iris finished school , Justin came over( a neighbor from across the street, we witnessed to him about a month ago and both him and his mother got saved) so Iris and him went to the next door neighbors and asked if their daughter Sara would want to come and hang out at our house, so she did come, all three of them were running around chasing each other until Iris twisted her ankle so they had to sit and chat, David and I were in the house, I asked David to please go out there and make sure they are having a good conversation, so he did and all of sudden he comes in and get his Bible and goes out, so I went out to see what they were talking about, here was Iris talking to Sara about Salvation and Justin whispers to Iris to please help her get saved, so then David started showing her all kind of verses and answering her question, after about half an hour we asked her if she wanted to get saved she said yes and she prayed with us and got saved, she was so ready to get saved we can all tell that the Holy Spirit has been working on her and I could see the tears in her eyes as we were talking to her, God is sooooo good, ready to forgive and save, all we have to do is open our mouth with the good news and watch the power of the Glorious Gospel work on the poor helpless souls. Iris ridding the Mule and Justin ridding the quad, they both belong to Justin but he brings them over to ride with the girls.

Beautiful Creation

Those are some of the beautiful photos I was able to take the past 2 days of the sunset from our front porch, I missed seeing the sunsets views so much in Mississippi, thanks be to God I get to see them again. It is because of HIS faithfulness that the Sun still rises every morning, May all the glory and praise be to HIM, THE WONDERFUL CREATOR and my SAVIOR.

Iris & Nellie's New little Puppy "Baby Bear"

The girls were asking for a little inside lap dog, so we started looking in Craig's list, we found him, he is a Pom, just like the one we had for Iris when she was 3 years old, he was black and white, the one we have now is brown and white, he is so much like our first pom, it is amazing,

he was free and his owner brought him to us all the way from Queen Creek, AZ.

He has an excellent temperament and is very mellow, the girls are thrilled to have him especially Nellie because he is her little buddy and she gets to potty train him and she is responsible for his food and water, she takes him for walks and read to him when he is sitting in her lap.

One of the reasons I say my husband is the best man in the world for me is because he does not complain or make a fuss when I get animals for me and my children, and he just makes jokes about them and make us laugh. Thank God for my husband David.

Here are some more photos of our sweet little puppy,

Last Sunday was the Round up day at outr church so people came dressed in western clothes, here are some of Nellie's photos as a cow girl

May my life be pleasing to my LORD JESUS CHRIST

I chose this title for my first post in this blog because that is truly was on my mind all morning today, the way I started thinking of this was after listening to the Pastor from Pacific Baptist Church in Long Beach ,CA. One of his sermon ignited this most important thought in my heart,"That my life be pleasing to my LORD JESUS" there is nothing I want to do more in my life than to bring pleasure to my LORD JESUS, that was my prayer this morning, in return HE gave me a wonderful peaceful day, one of the great things was that my husband called me on his way to work around 6:30AM telling me to go out to our back yard and see the moon in the sky, it was so big and so close, the sun was not up yet, so the color of the moon was pinkish and bright, just one of the ways that my God blessed me today, I love HIS creation,

The heavens declare the glory of God .........

I will write the story of our new puppy "Baby Bear"on my next post.
