Thankful Thursdays

I pray everyones week has been good and that you're having fun with you're children. Today was a little scary for me, my son had to have a small surgery on his toe for a in grown toe nail, probably worse for me, moms know what I mean here, we don't like seeing our kids in pain, but he, we did good :) I was doing the praying in the corner, not watching, I'm not good at seeing blood. So for today's Thankful Thursday,I'm thankful for my son and for all the Lord has provided for us over the years of being a single parent, don't get me wrong, everyday is a struggle, but with my faith and hope and trust in the Lord I know for sure we will be taken care of. My prayer is that more people put there trust in the Lord, this world sure would be a better place. Today on the news I heard about a precious 10 year old who was abused and killed by members of her family, It really just breaks my heart, but I know that shes with Jesus now, with no more pain, a precious angel. Hug you're children tight and never take them for granted, Be Blessed and have a great weekend.

Happy Sunday

Happy Sunday to all, today's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, its just another day to be thankful to be alive and serving the Lord. I got up today took out the dog and enjoyed the sun, came in and made Banana Pancake's for my son and I, the first time Ive made them, but they were very good, they taste like Banana bread, I will post the recipe. One of my favorite songs at church is, This is the Day That The Lord Has Made, Let Us Rejoice and be glad in it, I pray that you all have a day of rejoicing, enjoy the day and be blessed.

Wow vacation was fun but glad to be back home. I hope everyone is having a great summer with you re children. My son and I did so much on our trip, we went to Reno, Nevada and Lake Tahoe, and Las Vegas, we had alot of fun with family and friends and a fun 4th of July too, but wow what alot of driving. We've only been back a few days, so please hang in there with me and I will get back to posting on my blog. Have a great up coming weekend and be blessed.

Wow How Time Flies

Wow here it is Thursday and I'm once again apologizing for not posting much, the summer months are so busy for all of us who have children, no school, running here and there and trying to keep them entertained. And I do want to let you know we will be out of town for a couple of weeks, we are going to see my sister in Nevada, so I hope I can get to a computer to post on my blog, but if not, please hang in there with me and when we get back I will post again. I pray you all are having a good summer so far, stay safe and be blessed. Debbie

Tasty Thursdays

For today's Tasty Thursdays, and since our weather here in Arizona is getting very hot, I like to do light meals. Such as sandwiches, veggies, fruit, salads, just anything that's light and easy. Another thing that's fun is making up a picnic basket and going to the park or the lake with you're kids. I really think its the little things we do for our children that make a difference, hopefully they will look back and remember "Hey I remember when my mom" did this or that for me. I do remember a few things my mom or my dad did for me when I was little, and its fun to remember those good times. Even though my parents divorced when I was only 8 years old. But as a single parent, I do try to do things different, to make a difference in my sons life, so for this Tasty Thursdays post I hope you have a great week and alot of fun with you're children this summer.

Memorial Day Weekend

I want to say once again, that I am sorry for not posting much lately, with my son being in Little League and running him back and forth to practice and games and with school ending for the summer, I feel like a taxi LOL. And in a couple of weeks we will be going to Reno, to see my sister, so hang in there with me and I will try and post as much as I can. Today I wanted to write about Memorial Day, and how blessed we are to have such brave men and women who do serve our country, and my father was one of those who did serve, he was in the Vietnam war, so tomorrow and every day we need to pray for our troops and be thankful that we have the privilege to live in the United States and to be able to have the freedoms we do have. May God bless all of you. Go out and have fun with you're kids.
