I’m craving a hot dog and I don’t wanna go out ‘cause its so darn cold. Its been bitter here for a few days.....I just DO NOT LIKE WINTER under any circumstances but I may warm up my car and run out to get a couple of hot dogs.

Glad you found the outfit Marissa liked. That’s the most important thing. If they like it, we can all be happy. I remember being a teenager all those years ago and Mama and I didn’t like the same clothes for me (in some instances). But I’ll have to give her credit.....she was a great seamstress and I did have some cute clothes. My friends always would say they were jealous ‘cause their Mom’s couldn’t sew. She made a lot of my high school evening dresses and I have to say, they were gorgeous. (and I can’t hardly sew a button on).....isn’t that strange?

My mother was a beautiful seamstress. She made my graduation dress. We saw a dress that I liked but it was pretty expensive. She looked it over and when she got home, she took a basic pattern and made some changes and ..... viola... my dress looked better than what I picked because of the material she chose.
Marissa has been keeping me on the run this year. I’m not sure how to slow her down.
Hope you are doing well; Wishing you a beautiful Christmas Season .... the most Joyful time of the year.

Lasting Rewards
December 13, 2013
Read: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Ukrainian gymnast Larisa Latynina held the record of 18 Olympic medals. She won them in the 1956, 1960, and 1964 Olympics. The 48-year-old record was surpassed when Michael Phelps swam for his 19th gold in the 4 x 200-meter freestyle relay in the 2012 London Games. [Latynina] kind of got lost in history, the publisher of the International Gymnast magazine said. When the Soviet Union broke up, we had forgotten about her.
Paul, the apostle, reminds us that sometimes hard work is forgotten. Athletes subject their bodies to great discipline as they train to win perishable medals for their effort (1 Cor. 9:25). But it is not just that the medals are perishable. Over time, peoples memory of those achievements dim and fade. If athletes can sacrifice so much to achieve rewards on the earth, rewards that will eventually be forgotten, how much more effort should followers of Christ exert to gain an imperishable crown? (1 Tim. 4:8).
Athletes sacrifice and determination are rewarded with medals, trophies, and money. But even greater, our Father in heaven rewards the discipline of His children (Luke 19:17).
God will never forget our service done out of love for Him who first loved us.
I thank You, Lord, for the opportunities to use
the gifts You have given me for Your service today.
Help me to do so in obedience, expecting nothing
more than Your well done as reward.
Sacrifice for the kingdom is never without reward.

Thank you, LTOS.
Weird indeed. Where is all this cold weather coming from? What happened to Global warming?
Wishing you a Blessed Day!

We are under storm warnings until tomorrow night. In the meantime, I'm warm and cozy, making cookies and enjoying being on the inside! Remember to keep your pets safe, too!

Happy Friday, Jaidyn.
Are you near the lake? I saw on the news that a big storm was headed your way.
Your Christmas doggie is so cute. Thank you.
My cats sleep in the garage but they are more than ready to come inside for breakfast at 6:30.
My dogs must be retarded. I checked them at 6:30 earlier in the week.
Neither were in their dog house ... both were out on the lawn, snuggled together.
Wishing you a warm happy Friday.

I’m in Allen County Ohio, which is west central. I’m 75 miles from Toledo and 60 miles from Dayton, almost smack in the middle on Interstate 75. I would hate living near the lakes because of the heavy “wet” snow. I was caught in it once, and never again!
