365 Days of Praise Challenge-Day 100

It's Pajama day! My daughter was so excited about this day that she got into her pajamas right after dinner last night. She had a tough decision to make. What stuffed animal was she going to bring to school? Faith's personality is exciting to be around. She is just over-the-top excited about things and it can be delicious to watch. We have our own kind of pajama day at work today. We can wear sweats and t-shirts and are having a special team-building lunch. So despite the wear and tear the last couple of weeks have been, I am going to celebrate that I have survived and will continue to do so because I know God is with me. Today marks 100 days of praise!!! It's a mile marker on journey of faith. Praising God each day in this way has been a great blessing to me and I am thankful to be able to share it with you. I hope today will be a Pajama day for you and you can see all that you can celebrate in your life.
Psalm 34:1 I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

365 Days of Praise Challenge-Day 34

What a wonderful weekend it was! And back to work I go... But let me just say I am praising God for all the great memories that occurred this weekend starting with the fabulous and unique version of worship service we had on Christmas Eve with a re-enactment of the birth of Jesus in which any child that wished could dress up as an angel, sheperd, sheep or wise man and come forward to where Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus were at the appropriate part of the story. It was quite the sight to see them all surrounding baby Jesus and all of us singing Joy to the World. Christmas eve dinner was super fabulous thanks to my brother's special taco shell preparations and reading the Christmas story to the kids was a very special moment for me taking me back to my teaching days and pulling at my heart strings to maybe get back to teaching Sunday school sometime and than there are the Christmas morning memories: Faith's reaction when she opened her American Girl doll she wanted, Tristan being taught how to make bacon for breakfast by Nathan and staying in pajamas all day. The weekend ended with a game night with our new Uno Attack game in which there was a lot of laughs and "your mean" by Faith. So, I am praising God for all these memories of my family just being together and sharing in the celebration of Jesus. Now, it's time to get my photos uploaded into Studio J and creating my scrapbook pages before these memories fade.
Luke 2: 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
