Thoughtful Thursday

 

This week has been a week of service for the Sellers home. On Tuesday I just out of  the blue called a sister in Christ that I am still getting to know. I had not talked to her in a few weeks, so I wanted to see how the family was doing. She was talking and shared that they were in the middle of this very BIG and Difficult project ,for them in a house full of all girls oldest being 14 years old. It was around 4pm in the evening  at the time. During our conversation it dawned on her- I have all strapping boys(4 of them ranging from 18 years old to 12 years old- plenty of muscles to go around)  she asked what we were doing this evening and if it was possible for us to come and help. We ,instead of just the boys, came in as an Army  knocked out their project in 3-4 hours.

The following morning we woke early to go help a recent widower- who had tons of yard work that needed to be done because of Hurricane Ike. While my men were out working in the yard- Maria and I were busy in the house scrubbing floors, cabinets, dusting, cleaning bathrooms, etc! 

By the blessings of God- we have tried to live- the LOVE for our Brethren in our life this Week!

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
