Forgiveness Is The Word

'Forgiveness is the sending away and removal of resentment, indignation, or anger as a result of a perceived offense, difference or mistake, and/or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution. What a challenge Jesus gave us when He said to forgive each other as He has forgiven us! It is a sure sign we are walking by the Spirit- when we have fellowship with one another.'

Thanks for this, Tammie. I feel pity for those who hold onto baggage as that is a heavy burden and expends an exorbitant about of negative energy.

Remembering Ivy May

Today, we remember our best dog ever, Ivy May. The kids adored her and miss her greatly. A couple of years ago, Ivy became very sick and had to be put down. It was heart breaking. We miss you, puppy!

Home Improvement

It's the last year to receive the tax credit for replacement windows. So, we are having all our windows replacement, including a french slider back door. In preparation for all this 'home improvement', we've decided to swap our living room and dining room. As with all swaps, this includes pulling down old wallpaper and repainting. New living room furniture is also just around the corner.

Amazing how one thing leads to another. I've got 'before' pictures, but with all the shuffling, I can't find the cord to upload them. So, you have to wait until later to see the mess we've made. I know this mess will be worth it once the installs and such are done.
