Sunday Morning Thoughts

This was an email from a friend:
We were in Pigeon Forge over the weekend. On Sunday, we left to come home. Traffic was moving slowly, and a car in front of us had an Obama bumper sticker. It read: "Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8."
Mike's Bible was lying on the back seat. He got it, opened it to that scripture, and read it. He started laughing and laughing. Then he read it to me. I couldn't believe what it said. I had a good laugh, too.
Psalm 109:8 "Let his days be few; and let another take his office."







Drinking From My Saucer

I've never made a fortune,

It's probably too late now.

Oh, but I don't worry about that much,

'Cause I'm happy anyhow.

As I go along life's journey,

I'm reaping better than I sowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Ain't got a lot of riches,

Sometimes the going's rough.

But I've got a friend in Jesus,

And that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for all His Blessings on me,

And the mercy that He's bestowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Oh sure, I've been thru some storms,

And yes, I'm sure there were times when my,

Well, my Faith must have got a little thin,

But you know what it seemed like?

One day all at once, those dark clouds broke,

And that old sun, she started shinin' again.

So Lord, help me not to grumble and complain,

About the tough rows I have hoed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

And if I should go on living,

If the way gets steep and rough.

I won't ask for other Blessings,

'Cause I'm already Blessed enough.

May I never be too busy,

To help another bear his load.

And I'll keep drinking from my saucer, Lord,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Yes, I'll keep drinkin' from my saucer, Lord,

'Cause my cup has overflowed.

My Cup Has Overflowed.

Sunday Morning Thoughts

I woke early this morning with this song on my lips and this verse in my heart.

The world looks around me as I struggle along

They say I have nothing, but they are so wrong.

In my heart I'm rejoicing, how I wish they could see

Thank You, Lord, for Your blessings on me.

There's a roof up above me, I've a good place to sleep.

There's food on my table, and shoes on my feet.

You gave me Your love, Lord, and a fine family.

Thank you, Lord, for Your blessings on me.

I know I'm not wealthy and these clothes are not new,

I don't have much money, but Lord, I have You,

And to me You're all that matters tho' the world may not see.

Thank you, Lord, for Your blessings on me.

Psalms 122:1-2

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

"Thankful Thanksgiving"

Today this is how I feel.

How can there only be one day?  I want need a spirit of gratitude every day.

It's the Sunday before Thanksgiving.  Yesterday my Momma, Nannie and Cousin Judy came to the house for a "Pre-Thanksgiving Planning" breakfast.  Basically a final going over of the menu and a relax session.  We laughed about old times, stuff we have or someone else has fixed over the years.  Family that has gone on.  We needed that sesson for the troop we will be feeding Thursday.  We will have 22+ .  We do almost all the cooking.  We have my Dad's side of the family All of them. They don't understand why we have to cook so much food.  Of course it doesn't stop them from eating it all, lol.

I'm thankful that this year, for the first time in 5yrs we won't be doing inventory til 9 Wednesday night and starting at 7am on Friday morning, Yay!!

Even though my FIL and his wife drive me nuts, I am glad they will be with us again this Thanksgiving and get to spend a couple days with DH.  He misses his Dad alot, and they rarely get time together.

I'm Thankful for great friends who are always there when you need them.

This year I am thankful for having all my family another year and everyone being healthy.

What are you Thankful for this Thanksgiving?

Today is also Tammy at Time Flies birthday, please jump over and wish her "happy birthday"!!

Sunday Morning Thoughts

Praise and Worship was thoughts running through my head when I woke up.
This chorus has been running through my head all morning:

Oh, sometimes I just want to praise You

Sometimes just to speak Your name

Sometimes I just want to thank You

Without asking you for a thing

Oh sometimes I lift my hands to You

Then sometimes all I do is cry

Everything that I have I owe to You, Lord

And Calvary's the reason why

I couldn't find any versions online that I liked well enough to post.

I feel much better now that I vented about the whole follower thing Friday. 
It is just like that song, "People Are Crazy", Seriously.  Today I am Thankful because I have had a stalker in the my life and well, they're not so fun. 

I know you are probably wondering what is up with the Christmas music already.  I LOVE FALL!!  So what does that have to do with Christmas music?  I don't really consider fall being over or taking down my fall stuff until the day after Thanksgiving but this year I am SO ready for Christmas.  It always seems we fly through it in such a rush because our family being spread out so far.  I never really get the chance to enjoy all the festive  parts of it.  So this year I am starting earlier.  While I am not ready to dress the blog up for Christmas, I am easing into it with the Christmas music. 
So what is your Thanksgiving/Christmas Traditions??

I'm thinking maybe the upcoming weeks until Thanksgiving until Christmas maybe posting some of my favorite dishes for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Season? 


This weekend has been busy.  It's one of the warmest days we've had lately with a high of 72.
DH finished cleaning out my flower beds and have them looking so good and blah.  That is one of the bad things about winter.  Everything so "Blah".
I fixed a pot of beans, fried taters, kraut & wieners, a pone of cornbread and a fresh apple crisp for supper.
We had Nannie over.  This is one of her favorite meals.  She says it reminds her of when she was at home years ago.  We had a good visit.


What did everyone else do this weekend?? 

I am so over yesterday. Becky was right, I just needed to get it out of my system. once I did it was like a weight had been lifted off of me.
Today is beautiful outside. A high of 81, I can't believe it's Aug and we're having 81 degree weather. I'll take it today while I'm off though.
I think we're going on a picnic. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!
