Everything rides on hope now

I'm singing this song everywhere!

Everything rides on hope now Lord! Everything I've done destroys my dreams of what or how my life should be. I have no hope apart from You. My life is not my own...

Tour of Homes: A Video Slice of Life in Our Home

By the way, I didn't make a mention of my sweet husband in that video and I don't want to leave him out. He's off workin' hard for his family while I'm making a video for this blog tour of homes. Just think of me and our sons as an extension of him... he, me, we, wish you a Merry Christmas! :)

Oh! And be sure to check back here tomorrow to see who won the She Meditates On the Word gift pack. I can't wait to see who won!!! And head over to the Internet Cafe for more tours of homes and tomorrow be sure to check there too to see who all the winners of the various gifts are from the Holiday Expo giveaway.

Merry Christmas!

Give a chicken?

Here's a great way to give this Christmas!

Day 1 Advent Meditations

"Don't be impatient for the LORD to act! Travel steadily along his path." Psalm 37:34a NLT

There was a long wait between the Promise of Genesis 3:15 and His arrival in John 1:14. Nevertheless waiting on the LORD and traveling steadily along His path paid off... He came, just as He promised.

The wait seems long now too. The stretch of His arms spans 2000 plus years, but waiting on the LORD is worth it. I learn that from looking back at the anticipation and waiting for His first coming. Though evil seems to prevail all around me, I must not fret. I must not get impatient. I must travel steadily along His path.

"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness,
but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9 NKJV

"Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how
the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand." James 5:7-8 NKJV

Day 1 of this Advent I'm remembering Salvation came and He is coming again!

I'm laboring in love and inspired by this Labor of Love

I'm getting ready for the Holiday Expo, working on the gift I want to give to maybe YOU! :) And I'm also laboring in love with my kiddos today, decking our halls and putting out the nativity scene, along with starting a Jesse tree to prepare for celebrating the advent of our God and Savior.

So, I may not be blogging much for the next couple days. Hope you and your family are preparing your hearts and worshipfully celebrating the birth of Salvation today!

Here's some inspiration:
