I just recieved this in an e-mail and I am trying to spread it every way I can so I posted it here too, it makes so much sence to me. hope you spread it too.

One Light Bulb at a Time
A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a billion of them would. With that thought in mind, read the following, obviously written by a good American...

Good idea.... one light bulb at a time...

Check this out. I can verify this because I was in Lowes the other day for some reason and just for the heck of it I was looking at the hose attachments... They were all made in China . The next day I was in Ace Hardware and just for the heck of it I checked the hose attachments there.. They were made in USA . Start looking...

In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects someone else - even their job ... So, after reading this email, I think this lady is on the right track. Let's get behind her!

My grandson likes Hershey's candy. I noticed, though, that it is marked made in Mexico now. I do not buy it any more.

My favorite toothpaste Colgate is made in Mexico .... now I have switched to Crest. You have to read the labels on everything...

This past weekend I was at Kroger... I needed 60 W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets. I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand I normally buy was an off-brand labeled, "Everyday Value." I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same except for the price...
The GE bulbs were more money than the Everyday Value brand but the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO and the Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this - the USA in a company in Cleveland , Ohio .

So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that are made right here...

So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets.... yep, you guessed it, Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada ... The Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been using for years and at almost half the price!

My challenge to you is to start reading the labels when you shop for everyday things and see what you can find that is made in the USA - the job you save may be your own or your neighbors!

If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book so we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time! Stop buying from overseas companies!

(We should have awakened a decade ago...)

Let's get with the program and help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the USA.

I passed this on... will you???????

New Aditions To Our Little Farm

Rabbits

Some friends had a couple of them but after a few months they multiplied and they had to give some away so we were on there list to give to since we have the space and time to take them in, what my friend did know was that we have no objection to eating rabbit meat but even though I told her that she still did not mind and brought them to our farm so now we have dogs, puppies, cats, goats, soon to kid, horse, pot belly pig, chickens and rabbits.

We have been learning how to butcher and dress a rabbit, it looks really easy and from what I have heard the meat is really good too, in fact I might had some at my aunts house way back when I was little girl because they had lots of them and they used to butcher and eat them all the time.

A Halleluiah Sunday

Last Sunday was such a wonderful day I have to write what the LORD did for us, and all the blessings he brought our way, I just have to sit here and brag about HIM.
We made it to church in perfect timing with all the food prepared for the fellowship time, singing was absolutely wonderful!!!!!!!!!!! and we do sing ALL the stanzas in the hymns which blesses my heart, (I LOVE SINGING OUR BELOVED OLD FASHION HYMNS) then came the preaching and Oh LORD, DID WE NEED IT!!!!!!!! especially me, I turned to my daughter Iris and she turned her face to me many times in shock and AWE of what we were hearing, God's Word was being brought to us in such a simple and understandable way that we kept looking at each other thinking wow... we never heard this before and we really needed to hear it. When we got home we all had a prayer meeting, got on our knees and prayed asking and begging the LORD for help, wisdom and guidance.
God is so good, he knew there are sins that we all have ignored, overlooked or even did not know about, he used the Preacher to bring them up and helped us to see and start dealing with them.
After the preaching there was lots of food and fellowship, I took one of the middle eastern dish there it is called Kubba lots of people liked it and i was gone very fast. The fellowship was sweet just talking of God's goodness, kindness and mercies toward us.
Iris is having a blast making new friends and is back to playing the Piano for the Nursing home ministry and she is loving it, besides many young ladies there take lessons at the church and play in the orchestra, so they encouraged her to bring her Violin and and start practicing and playing with them, and Nellie is loving having lots and lots of girls older and younger than her around playing there.
I love those (Hallujah days) they just give us a small taste of what is going to be like in Heaven, I can't wait!!!!! even so come LORD JESUS.

1St Sunday Of 2011...

It was my hope and prayer to be in a good church first Sunday of this year 2011 to worship, listen to good preaching and be with other believers, so with absolutely no serious planning or searching God worked it out for us to land in a very nice small church where we had great preaching and after that we went and played in the snow and had great rest of that Sunday.
The preaching was so good that we walked out of there and still doing some of the stuff the Pastor preached about, even our 5 year old Nellie was listining and discussed some of the points he preached about, it was almost like a divine appointment and God made sure we would be there to hear what that pastor was preaching about.
That Sunday morning started out with some challenges and many attacks from the Devil to stop us from even being in church but at the end we all knew it was God's will that we ended up in that church with out even having any directions or phone number with us.
So if you wonder dear reader if God knows the desire of our hearts and what we long for as children Born Again into HIS family, I can say with great assurance that yes HE knows and cares more than we can ever know.

1Pet 5:7
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

My One And Only New Years Resolution

My one and only New Years Resolution is:
love the Lord my God with all my heart, and with all my soul, and with all my mind, and to love my neighbor as myself.

I have made many many resolutions over the years and worked very hard in making them happen and a lot of them did but some did not, now looking back, I can remember the thrill and happiness that I experienced but did not last but for a while, then things happened and life went on... and the excitement of it went away, there was sometimes a sense of defeat and weakness that I felt when things did not go the way I wanted them to go so I can bring those resolutions to happen but now I can see why!

Well I am learning that every day that I am a live is really and truly a gift from THE ALMIGHTY GOD, MY ABBA FATHER, WHO IS FULL OF LOVE, MERCY, GRACE, AND COMPASSION, my breath is an extension of that first breath He breathed in Adam and my heart beats are ordered by HIM, so the only reason I am alive is because HE chooses to keep me here.

This is why I feel that this is the only resolution I am willing to make and do all I can to keep it,

because my FATHER THE GOD ALMIGHTY IS THE ONLY ONE that I want to please.

I am not sure what kind of experience I will have to go through, what kind of stuff I will have to give up, what kind of adjustment in my schedule and changes I am going to make but most importantly how much of myself I will have to deny on daily basis to really give my FATHER the #1 place in my life this year and the years to come if HE chooses for me to live.

I realize that it will not be an easy resolution to do and keep and it will take lots of prayers and dependence on GOD to work in my sin filled heart and do the changes nessecery in order for me to obey and do HIS will and not mine, but I really want to do it with all my might.

If you are a Born Again Christian and love God please pray for me.
