Abigail's Footprints

I'm sorry for the poor quality of the photo. I wanted to scan it but my scanner is broken. So I took a picture instead so I could share it with you. They are so tiny and sweet!

    Wow! So tiny. I'm glad that you have those footprints. She walked through life for such a short time, but she was here. How are your other children doing?

    My 4 year old daughter was practicing her Bible club memory verse today( Psalm 139:14)"I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made" I couldn't help but think of your little Abigail's tiny little footprints. So tiny and fragile but yet fearfully and wonderfully made by our great God.
    God bless you and your family.

    Oh, Civilla! I had to turn to my husband and share that with him..."she walked through life for such a short time, but she was here"...so true!
    The younger children all have the flu. So that isn't helping anything. They are still trying to understand. LadyBug seems a little more like herself today. She has been somewhat withdrawn and almost angry over it. FlowerChild is very clingy and full of questions. The GuitarMan took it very hard.He has been a huge blessing and help to us throughout the whole ordeal. He went back to the college tonight.

    Just Me,
    Thank you for sharing that with me! It is so comforting to know that Abigail's life is impacting others! And what an impact...to make us remember how precious is the life within the womb!! Although, as believers, we know this, seeing those little footprints has just touched so many hearts.

    Mrs. B,
    You know, it can be easy to say "I'm praying for you" when someone is in the middle of a crisis and then to really follow through and do it. But then life goes on and people move on. Often times we start to forget. But true Christian love remembers that person's pain in the following days. I appreciate so much that you are continuing to pray for us!!

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Baby Steps

Hope you've had a good day today. We have been having some lovely autumn weather at our house! Yet I still have the urge to get the Christmas decorations out. Normally I am one of those people who likes to get Thanksgiving completed before moving on into the Christmas festivities. But there is just something about this year that has me ready to get all of the holidays going and squeeze out all the wonder. So my house now has icicle lights hung 3/4 of the way across the front. It's a small start but still an official start! I can't wait for the holiday cooking shows on Food network and the Christmas romantic comedy movies to begin. We also did a little rearranging today along with some cleaning out. I am going through the children's things and doing away with broken toys or the things that just don't interest them. I still have a ways to go until I can check "satisfied" or "completed" on my mental list. But still, like the Christmas lights, I can ...

Power Bills

We lucked out last month on our power bill. We received a credit on our bill which helped tremendously. A lot of folks were shocked at how high their bills were, however. I can't blame them! Some of the figures I heard were outrageous! $500-600, one even $1200! One thing that got me was that many of these people work outside the home and their children are in school or daycare so the house stands empty all day. Not only that, but their families are much smaller so things like the washer, dryer, or stove would not be used as frequently. Shouldn't their bill be lower than ours? I think it has everyone trying to come up with ways to save on power. There are some things that are a given. Good insulation and windows go a long way towards helping lower a bill. When we first moved into our home the windows were very old. Some were cracked or even broken. The church eventually replaced them which was a huge blessing! But what were we to do in the meantime? Well, one way is to buy th...
