I was just thinking about how blessed I am!
We (my siblings and myself) have food,clothes,a warm house and most importantly Christian Parents!
I was also thinking,so many of us are blessed with a great many things then just things that are our daily needs (internet,candy,cameras,radios,MP3 players) But yet, we are always complaining!
We don't like a certain meal,or it's slightly burnt! But we should really be thankful cause their are lots of children that eat maybe once a week or even less! So stop complaining,instead thank your Dad (and God) for working to provide the food and thank God that your dad has a job!
I don't like the way we look in these church shoes do I have to wear them?
Their are also many children(and adults) who would love to own even 1 pair of your used shoes! So Stop complaining! Thank God that you own some shoes!
Why do I have to does this homework it's to hard??
Their are children everywhere who would love a chance to learn! Instead,Thank God for the chance to learn.
So next time you complain think of all the blessings you have and others don't! Pray for them and try to control your tongue and remember that others would do anything to be in your place!

Favorite part of fall is.....
Applesauce making and canning! :)
Why? For the simple reason I cannot stand the store bought ones and homemade is just delicious and I love the Hot apples made into warm applesauce after is is smashed. I love the sweet aroma that fills the house when you make applesauce!
lol,I know making applesauce can be a lot of work,but isn't it worth it!

lol,I know making applesauce can be a lot of work,but isn't it worth it!
We got 9 bushels of apples this year! 6 bushels for our canning,1 bushel for pie filling,another bushel to eat and another bushel for my brother's family (which they'll probably only want 1/2)!
Its been taking us about 7 hours just to make and can the applesauce. Probably another 1/2 hour to clean everything up!

| Cut in 2 |
 |
| Then cut into 4! :) |

Smashing the apples!
|
 |
| Applesauce with cinnamon! |
 |
| A jar we filled with applesauce,but didn't have enough to finished! So when we got done with the next batch it was time to make cinnamon applesauce,so this jar got filled with both! :) |
 |
| Fill jars with finished applesauce,wipe the top of jars,secure lids,now they are ready to can! :) |

30 days of being thankful and some photos!
Modesty is next to beauty is having 30 days of being Thankful until Thanksgiving!
Today I'm thankful for my Family!
I couldn't live without my wonderful parents and my siblings that I have such a ball with! :)
and.......
Some photos I took earlier!
I thought I would take this photo for fun and then do some photoshop too!
My 3 siblings and I were playing a game when 2 people swing on the swings, 1 person on 1 swing grabs with their hands and the other with their feet,while someone runs through the 2 swings and if you make them fall on their knees or worse the get your swing! lol,we were pretty muddy! But I never fell! I really didn't feel like getting wet! Heres some photos!
It doesn't sound like a fun game,but it is!
Thats all folks! :) It doesn't look very fun does it? But it was! Although you have to remember not to play rough with your little sisters or little brothers!
It's a pity muddy clothes don't please mommy's ; )

Meditation Weekend
Well,the week has flown by and here we are a "Meditation Weekend" again!
Would you Go and Follow Gods Calling!
Do you dream of being a ballerina, a mom and wife, a great musician,but what if that's not what God has planned for you! What if God was calling you to the mission field? Would you go? I always dreamed of going to India,but what if God wanted me to dedicate my life to that and never get married,never live a life like a one of my sisters who is married,with a family! Would I do it? Would you do it?
We are God's servant and when we gave our lives to God we are now letting Him take control of our lives and trusting Him! God sometimes asks us to do things we don't want to do. But we are Gods servant we would be disobedient if we said,'no' instead we should say what one of my favorite missionary named Mary Slessor said,"I'm willing to go any where Lord,as long as its forward."
Some of us are called to a tougher calling then others. But God has a calling for each of us and it is a challenge for each of us! Weather it's being a missionary or a stay at home mom they both bring challenges we don't like to face!
PRAYER
Praying for missionaries could be more of a help than you might think. we could pray to give them the knowledge and support they need! What if one day you decide to pray for a missionary family you saw on some bulletin at church you don't know why,but you do and later you find out that at that moment they were being persecuted by Muslims and all the sudden they stopped and ran off. When those Muslims came to kill the missionaries they ran instead! Now it may not be that extreme,but you never know what your prayers can do! Now I'm not saying just missionaries need our prayers,I think everyone need prayer,through their christian walk,for their safety! You could have a friend that is struggling with something and your prayers could make a difference!
God's Calling
Mary Selssor since a very young age wanted to share the gospel and was convicted to go to Africa at a young age also even though she didn't have a chance to go until she was in her 20's! She took over childrens church bible studies that buildings could only be rented in rough neighborhood where gangs roamed. But that didn't stop Mary she knew what God wanted her to do and trusted Him to see her through it! And He did , it was His calling for Mary!
So do what God has called you to do it may be more rewarding then you realize and pray for missionaries and others around you!
I hope this article got it's point across,cause I'm horrible at writing out articles when I'm trying to explain what I want to explain!
__________________________________________________________
All right now it's your turn
This weekend post your Christian thoughts,a hymn,christian song,poem,or phrase that will cause you to meditate on it! It does not have to be on the same subject I wrote on! lol,I'm sure it will most likely be better than the one I just did! :)
So go on ahead and link up! :)

Re fencing!
Bruce got out twice yesterday and the electric fence it had like no power! So my dad got home about 5:30 and started redoing the fencing! What happened was it the electric fence box/wires tripped and messed up the fencing (or at least I think thats what happened I can't remember what my dad said)!
So of course I went out to help (I love doing the fencing with my daddy,weird I know!) We took down all the fencing that went ou to the right and made it go straight out. That was probably the hardest cause some of it got tagnled a little. So we got done at 7:30 and it was pretty dark a 7:00 and was black outside when we were done. And my hands were numb,okay not numb,but they were red and hurt horribly! My sister was helping to and had Jade with her. lol,I could just barely make an outline of her when she was running around when it got dark(down fall of having a black dog)! :) But anyway our fence has full power now!(3 cheers)This morning Aaron my brother right below me woke me up and said Peak was out! I thought 'what'! But then remembered we did the fencing a told Aaron hes not out! While I was eating breakfast Samuel(another little brother of mine) told my mom Bruce and Peak were out,lol,but she saw me laying around and knew they musn't be out or I would be already out there! :) I'll take some photos and post them later! It's supposed to snow this week(it won't stick) but it's exciting! lol,for us kids anyway! :)

Carolotta at Pastor Girls Ponderings is having a photo link up. I decided to post a photo of Haley even though I just posted it a few days ago! But Carolotta said, 'quote'
Is there a photo that makes you happy? One that warms your heart or tells a funny story? One that puts you on cloud nine? Here's your chance to share it!
And I am cause It really makes me smile and warms my heart to think of this sweet little baby!

Naughty Bruce
Never leave our electrical fence unpluged this was the 2nd time in a week someone has left it unpluged and I was woken by somone telling me to go get Bruce!
He weighs at least 200 lbs(he probably weighs more) and he likes to play sometimes and he has horns! : / Not a good combination! He can get irritated and try to nudge you(which isn't good since he has horns)!!
But you know what? I like getting him. lol,this may sound funny,but I feel a like a real farmgirl in a way (we don't exactly qualify for a farm in my book,unless you would just want to call us a goat farm which we kind of are a small one)! Forcing a stubborn steer, with horns into barn,wearing my rubber boots with the mud!! Now some of you who own cows make think I'm a little weird,but its just who I am!
I was looking at Bruces horns and was thinking,I don't know why people try to ride those crazy bulls with horns cause you really must be a daring person to WANT to! lol,I kind of went off the main subject,but I'm just posting my thoughts! lol,I hope you enjoyed this random post!

The Last week for http://scrapsfrommyworkbasket.blogspot.com/! I decided to do it this week too! :)
1} It's nearly impossible to pick a favorite book, so what are your top THREE favorite books ? (other than the Bible :D)- Oh,to tough of a choice,so I'll just pick some random one I like!
- Elsie Dinsmore
-Alone Yet not Alone
- Before you meet prince charming
{2} Who is your favorite heroine from literature? (if you need to list more than one, that's fine)- I have no idea!
{3} Who is your favorite hero from literature? (see above note)-Again No idea!
{4} Who is your favorite author? (see note above)- Martha Finely I guess! I don't really have one (I used to be a big reader,but now I don't read very often)
{5} What is your favorite type of book to read?- Adventure; Mystery; Spiritual;Heartwarming; Inspiring;
{6} If you could be a character from literature for one day, who would you be? Why?- Ummmmm....I don't know!
{7} What type of reader would you call yourself? Are you an avid reader, passive reader, or even a non-reader?? A reader you can get addicted to a book,but can kind of skip throught it! ; /
{8} Do you like reading aloud? Nope!
{9} Do you like mystery stories? Yes.as long as their not creepy. I read Dr,Jeykal and Mr Hyde a few years ago and it was kind of creepy! That was a very rare book in our house (probably the only book like that in our house)
{10}All of us have read a book at some point or another and disliked the way it ended or who married who, etc. What book(s) bother you like that, and what would you change about them? -Don't know! (hmm.. I've been answering a lot of them like that.)
{11} Just like books, it's *very* hard to pick a favorite movie. What are you top THREE favorite movies?
Another hard one,but I'll give it a shot.
-Letters to God
- I Am David (I'm undecided if its my favorite)
- National treasure
{12} When it comes to movie adaptions of books, are you a purist or do you not mind changes to the storyline? - Depends on the movie and book,most of the time the books are better then the movie, cause they changed certain things around. Usually I'm okay with it!
{13} What is your favorite book-to-movie adaption? -Oh, tough choice maybe I am David (I think it was a book) I haven't read the book,but I liked the movie :) lol,I'm great at this aren't I!
{14} What is your favorite type of movie to watch? - I like musicals; adventure; suspense; I try not to,but I sometimes like romances too!
{15} Do you like to watch movies with the lights off or on?- Off! It can be hard to see the T.V. when the lights out!
{16} DVD or VHS? -DVD
{17} When you watch a movie, would you rather watch it straight through or skip around to your favorite scenes? -Depends If I've seen it a kazillion times I'll usually skip through it! Unless I haven't seen it in a while and really like it!
{18} Subtitles? -Hmmm...
{19} Do you make comments and ask questions during a movie, or sit in complete silence?- Again Depends on the movie. But when we watch a family movie we've never seen,or some of us have seen,their can be quite a bit of talking : /
{20} If you could be in any movie (whether it's already been made or not) which movie would it be? Who would you want to be and why? I don't know about movie,but I would love to be in the Road to Avonlea seasons! It's a wonderful time period,it's on prince Edward island and I would want to be an orphan(I guess an orphan) living with Janet and Alec King! :)
Why don't you do it too! The winner gets a free pettern from Marie Madeline Studio! :)

Haley Anne!
 |
Me and Haley!   |
Isn't she ADOREABLE
 |
| My brother and Haley (my lil' brother first became an uncle before he was 1 yrs old) |
Welcome to the family Haley! :)
Lovely outfits!
I was watching "Belles on their Toes." (it's the 2nd movie of the older Cheaper by the dozen with alot of the same actress and actors)!! So I took a couple photos to post and show you just for fun! :)
I hope you enjoyed looking at these! Have a good Sunday and I will hopefully have a post with pictures of my new neice by tonight! :)
 |
| I loved Anne's dress in this,although I couldn't get a good shot of it! Martha's would be gorgeous if she she had a different blue. I don't like Earnestine's very much! |
 |
| Heres a better look at Marthas dress! |
 |
| I didn't care for Annes dress to much! they style is nice, but I don't like the color (I had a photo collage of Earnetines party dress which was the best out of all of them,but I accidentally deleted them and I've been on the computer for a while,so I won't be posting them,but go get the movie,watch it a see how pretty it is!) |
 |
| I couldn't get a good front veiw of this dress and she only wore it one scene. But I love the style of it! |
 |
| I loved this dress although it is only shown for a little bit. I still saw it and loved it! |
 |
| I thought this was a nice dress too!! |
I hope you enjoyed looking at these! Have a good Sunday and I will hopefully have a post with pictures of my new neice by tonight! :)
