Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

"Count your Blessings" has always been a best-loved thanksgiving song. It was written by Johnson Oatman, Jr., and composed by Edwin Excell who created the tune for the hymn.

Yesterday I was talking about sleep positions, I thought I would share with you if you have a hard time falling asleep; "Count Your Blessings" and you will start to relax and fall asleep, it worked for me last night, this helps you to see you do have a lot to be thankful for.

This maybe a great Thanksgiving song, but I'm using this song during Christmas 2009, when money is tight, and there is so much on my mind lately, about my adult children, and my weight. This song is PERFECT to remember all the wonderful things I must be happy about. Happy, Happy, Smile, Smile, Joy, Joy, Peace, Peace.

When upon life's billows you are tempest tosed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

CHORUS
Count your blessings name them on by one, Count your blessings see what God hath done; Count your blessings name them one by one; Count your many blessings see what God hath done.

I love verse 2:

Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Verse 3: When you look at others with their lands and gold, Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold.

Verse 4: So a mid the conflict, whether great or small, Do not be discouraged God is over all.

This song is a Christmas song, You know what God hath done? He gave us His son! He gave us Himself to us! The words above have displayed;
"What He Has Done"

Different Seasons

Reading Psalms for they comfort me, while giving me peace about new upcoming changes in our household. My husband has had a decline in his business, and it looks like I have to get a job. I do not want to get a job, but I have to. To be a helpmeet for my husband, and to do what my husband feels will help him.

I struggled with this for a long time. Because I feel the greatest career for a woman is staying at home. Keeping her home and family comfortable. A place for peace and relaxation.

A different season is coming my way after being a housewife for over twenty years.

I need prayer to help my anxiety go away. To trust God, He took care of me in the past He can take care of me in my new future.

I have made all kinds of frugal decisions, our gardener is gone but we have no lawn mower, our plumber is needed for we have no hot water at our kitchen sink. My brakes on my car need to be replaced. The best decision has been to cancel cable, we have been reading more. All these changes but, I still need to work outside the home.

I do wish I had a home business,never started one.

I will still work for my KING, wherever that may be.

New to the Blogging World

I am new to the blogging world, this is how it all began; last October 2006, I was looking for some good books to purchase for my fourteen year old at the time to read. Looking on Vision Forum's site, I linked to Buried Treasure Books and I have been hooked ever since. I didn't purchase any books, I just read and read for myself, what a wonderful ministry!

Now I'm trying to blog for myself, this may take me awhile to learn the new technical tricks but I'm ready to tackle my new adventure. I want to journal what I'm doing in the garden and to share my thoughts. I do not have a digital camera, but another new blogger friend, Brenda at Coffee Tea Books and Me said she uses her disposable camera and puts her pictures on CD. I just dropped off two cameras at Walmart they will be ready on Sunday. I can't wait to try and show you pictures of my garden and home.
