It's Pretty Crazy in Here!: Not Your Normal Sunday...

It's Pretty Crazy in Here!: Not Your Normal Sunday...: Let's just face it, it's not only your normal Sunday around here....but it makes sense...2017 has started out really bizarre!

Stepping out

We have been in the middle of severe snow storm  around here. I have been having John take me to work as I don't like driving in the wet snow here. Nothing like what I have been use to for the last 10 years. That snow never fazed me. Much drier snow.

It is 10 pm last night, looking longingly toward bed time.  Five am comes early. John comes in from outside, We have thick snow all thru our front yard. Its cold, school is being cancelled for second day in a row.

My feline Joy, who thinks there is nothing in this life,she cannot check out. John comes walking in front door, Joy goes slipping out the door before I can grab her. I am standing out on a wet snowy porch, trying to keep an eye on where she is headed. John is running for a flashlight.  This not so smart cat has hardly spent any time outside,let alone sever weather at night.  I am not sure if she has enough brain in her head to realize if she doesn't come in, she will most likely freeze to death.

I find her favorite snack called temptation and lure her back to front step. As she went to eat it, she stepped into the hoop,my hand.  It all ended well. I may have lost one of her lives!

Later, I thought of our enemy. Satan tries to lure us from the safety of our heavenly Father. He does this by things around us. Things that at first appearance seem interesting

, but will cause us eternal death.  He lures us by temptations that  may cause us to question right and wrong. That may cause us not to hear the small still voice of Jesus.

We need not fall for his traps.  We can go to God's word and find help immediately. We read in James  4:7, Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Romans 8:35-39 tells us that there is nothing that can separate us from God. When we flee to our heavenly Father, there is peace and safety.

First Major snow day of winter

I really do believe the Lord knows what we need, or maybe just what will put a smile on our face. We lived in Wisconsin for 10 years.  Now mind, back there, we get a lot of snow. It comes down and comes down good. We use to say we had two seasons. snow shoveling and lawn mowing season. The snow was usually drier compared to the wet snow we now, have if we get it. I didn't mind driving in it because of that. The roads were snow plowed quickly.  In fact, I would like to say I love cold weather and it likes me.

Well today, we had major snow.  I sent a picture to my grand kids,across town. showing them that actually we were getting more than them. they spent the last day of Christmas break in the snow at our house.  Perfect day! Playing in snow, resting, watching movies, reading books, doing a puzzle and playing games. Kenzie made a new recipe called banana boats with her special twist to it. Very good.

I had applesauce cooking in crock pot and turkey soup cooking in other crock pot.

God is so good. I see  and hear His beauty and love in the snow, smells of food cooking and grand children's laughter.

I hear it in the voices of friends who call to wish us happy greetings.

I feel it when I read God's word and remember all he has done for me.

Today was the day....The day I wore the wrong shoes! It was also the

day we were going to the pumpkin pach Mom said it would 

probably rain once we got there, but if you

know my mother, and you know me I'm stubborn.

I didn't want to wear my snow boots, to be frank I didn't really have

any. When we got there my mistake can alive as I realized that

the muddy earth was a huge sponge. I met a friend there

that also realized my mistake, the shoes I was wearing had a bunch of holes!

The holes were there on purpose but that didn't change the fact that I had

made a huge mistake....

We took some pictures, and had some popcorn (Best in the world!) 

then we got started.We were going into the corn maze.

Look how muddy it was! I was in for it....

Whew! It all worked out, I got used to the cold water 

and surprisingly it felt good after awhile.

We had loads of fun pretending we knew wear to go.

(We got lost many, many times.)     

But that was only the half of it!

God makes everything work out for good!

Now that we were out of the corn maze, it was time to

pick a pumpkin and get on the hay ride!

                                                              (My Pumpkin)

That was the hay ride, it was so much fun!

Then we got out of the hay ride,

and got on the cow ride!

Me and my friend sat together, super exited for the ride.

 Here is what it was like:

 Awesome!

My cows name was Oreo and my friends cow was Betsy.

  It was such a fun ride! But sadly that was where the fun ended.😢

When we got to the car Mom declared it was

a tomato soup day, I guess the fun wasn't over yet!

I hope you in joyed my guest blog post!
