lately there has been a lot of giving in our life and i have realized that i am not a good receiver and need to work on asking for help and receive the blessings that have been given:)
i ran across this quote while cleaning our family desk today, it is by Rick Warren in his book about Mother Teresa...
"the more you care about the powerless,the more power you have.the more you serve those with no influence, the more influence GOD gives you.the more you humble yourself,the more you're honored by others."

i child who was mad mad mad that he couldn't find a piece to his leggo set!!!! i ran to my mom to let her know how upset i was about it and she said that sometimes life is messy and things don't work in our favor so we must turn to God for guidance and trust him.so i prayed and guess what?! the leggo i was look'n for was right there in front of me the whole time!!!!! god does answer prayers and helps us through hard times, even the little things:)
so sweet to hear the little ones understand blessings.

a fresh start
today i am.................
a 9 year old who understood for the 1st time that it's ok to have a bad day. tonite my mom read me a short story about having bad days and it made me think that i can have days when i just can't stay out of trouble. but i realized that no matter how bad the day is there is always a new day to come and it's full of fun things to do, a time to be nicer and maybe to meet new people.
make the most of your day:)

receiver
today i am...............
a receiver. giving is so easy. it's right there in front of you and you become overwhelmed with the feeling of giving so you just do it. but what happens when it's the other way around? you are hurting in some way and it's time for someone to bless you. what do you do? what do you say? are you embarrassed? confused? why is it so hard to except? aaahhhhhhh!
think a moment:) when you give, how do you feel? you feel blessed! so in that moment of need in your life, take whatever it is that is being given and bless that person who is blessing you! it's so hard but when put in the words of blessing them it's so much easier to do.
this is something i must remind myself!
you are a blessing!

when you live the life you've been chosen
today i am......
someone who believes in God's favor. i have noticed that when you walk the walk and all that jazz, God comes to you in really hard times and makes it all better.
financially things are not good at all but in these dark hours he shines through. out of no where money comes sailing in and our worries about how to feed the kids and how to pay bills are gone! these gifts of love were sent with no name, no one to thank, but God!
PRAISE HIM!
