Psalm 127:3-5

Behold children are a gift of the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior, so are the children of one's youth.
How blessed are those whose quiver is full of them
."

25 days of blessings #1: November

My favorite month of the entire year. The icky Halloween season is gone and the three most glorious holidays are on the horizon. I love this time if year. Inevitably the temperatures will fall at least a little this month, we get to see lots of extended family and out of town friends, we celebrate a beautiful holiday centered around being grateful and I have a birthday. I just love November.

What do you love about November?

25 days of blessings

Starting Monday I am going to be doing a series of blogs I'm calling 25 Days of Blessings. I plan to post everyday until Thanksgiving (my birthday) one thing I am thankful for. They won't be in any order of importance just what strikes me that day as a blessing from the Lord.

Tis the season to be thankful!

Hello World Series....this ones for my hubby

Friday night Jimmy and I witnessed something we never in a million years thought would ever happen... our Texas Rangers won the pennant and they are going to the world series. Back up a minute and understand that our Rangers have never won ANY post-season game, much less advanced this far. In fact, there have been stretches where wins of any kind were hard to come by for this team. Yet Jimmy has remained a faithful fan since he became interested in baseball at 7 years old... that's 27 years people. Jimmy has waited a long long time for this.

As for me, I became a baseball fan back in the early 1990's and have waited out many long and losing seasons with the Rangers hoping that maybe someday they could play in October.

Somehow Jimmy knew this was the season. He told me on opening day that if they ever had a team that could go all the way, this was that team. I had my doubts and everyone knows that the Rangers always slump after the all-star game. So after coming out strong after the break I started believing we had what it took to get to the big set of games.

Well sure enough, here we are. After a third strike looking to our nemesis Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez,(it doesn't get a lot better than that), taking down the evil empire, proving money can't buy everything and showing that God does honor those who honor Him (thank you JH).... the world series is coming to TEXAS!!

I guess it's time to get out our claws and antlers and cheer on four more wins! We've waited a LONG time for this one... GO RANGERS!
