HELLO???

Where is everybody?  This time last year I was getting several comments to my post but now its like everybody has disappeared except one or two.....   This is very discouraging.  It's caused me to lose my interest in blogging.   Why blog if NOBOBY reads it or comments....

I is for Interests..........

I wanted to take this post and share some of my interests.  I enjoy reading, writing, photography, and animals.   I also like to eat( a little too much I will admit),  Internet, and music.  I will admit that most of my interest lately are those that do not require much energy due to my limited abilities.  I do, however, bowl.  I am on a league with my hubby.  Although bowling causes me to be in pain for a few days afterwards, I do enjoy the game.  I also "liked" blogging until all my followers stopped commenting.... I really enjoyed those comments... Sorry, I digressed...


What are your interests?  I would love to hear about  the different activities that fill your day....Please share!!!!

H is for Helpmate.......

In Genesis God said that Adam(man) should have a helpmate(Eve).  I take the responsibility of being my husbands helpmate very seriously.  I believe that it is the job of every wife to encourage, uplift and support her husband.  Ladies, we can do this in various ways.  First and foremost is to take care of his physical needs.  What I mean by this is that we should do what we can to make sure our man is feed, rested and stress free. It can be as simple as making sure that there is a loaf of bread in the event he wants to make a sandwich.  Secondly, we need to encourage him to be the man that God has created him to be.  We need to praise him not only in private but in public as well.  I get so frustrated when I hear wives speak ill of there husbands.  It matters not whether is "true" or not.  We as wives should make people think our husbands are the greatest.  If our husbands think we belittle them in public, our "private" words will have no effect on their attitude.  I love my husband and I want to do anything and everything to encourage and uplift him.  NO, he is not perfect but he IS perfect for me. 

What do you do to be the helpmate to your husbands???

G is for Gratitude......

I am trying to cultivate a spirit of gratitude within myself.   To do this, I try to think about all the blessing that God has bestowed upon me.  It's so easy to get caught up in the worry and trials of everyday living.   It must be a deliberate action to keep one's mind on the postitive and not the negitive.   What do YOU do to cultivate a spirit of gratitude within yourself??

F is for Friendship......

Friendship is an important aspect of our lives.  The greatest friend that I have is Jesus Christ.  He laid down His life for me.  He promised that He would never leave nor forsake me.  My next dearest friend is my husband.  He is extremely supportive and understanding of my limitations.  He is a great husband.  We have fun together and get along well.  Then, there is my mom.  We talk every day.  I enjoy the times that I can spend with her.  Then there are my online buddies whom some I talk to just about everyday.    I don't have many close friends but have several acquaintances with whom I enjoy their company.  I may not have a lot of friends by today's standards but those I do call friends are very special to me  I hope you have at least one person whom you can call friend.  I believe God created us to be joined to others.  Thank you God for my friends.

E is for Easter.....

Easter.....Empty tomb.....Everlasting life.....Enough said!!

D is for DOVE.......

What can I say?  I miss this dear old friend of mine.  She was the perfect dog.  She was my best friend.  She left us on 9/2/2009.   Words cannot convey the love I had for her(and still have) or what she meant to me.  Those of you that have pets understand what I am saying.  Dove was the dog of all dogs.  She was gentle and sweet and had a great sense of humor.  Although I would like to own another dog in the future, I doubt I will ever find one as wonderful as my Dove.

I wanted to post a pic as well but my computer is acting up.   Take care and God bless!!!

C is for Comments.....

I LOVE COMMENTS WHEN I BLOG!!!!!!!!!  However, those that are "following" me are not commenting like they used to.  Have I gotten boring?  Are you just too busy?  See, I covet your comments.  I thrive on comments.  It's your comments that really motivate me.  Comments create in me a desire to be more creative and interesting.  SO!  Please humor me my fellow "followers".  Leave a sentence or two to brighten my day and I will do likewise. 

B is for Bobby.........

My Bobby and I

           Bobby aka Bob is my hubby.  We were married on 11-24-2006.  It has been a wonderful marriage.  I just want everyone to know what a hard working, dependable, smart, and reliable husband that I have.   He makes me laugh all the time.  He has such a zany sense of humor.  He is generous(almost to a fault) and loves to help people.  It was late in life when we met.  I was 35 and he was 43.  Until I met, I didn't think that I wanted to get married.  I was truly content being single, then this wonderful man came into my life and turned it topsy-turvy.  We have had our struggles and still do.   He is not perfect and neither am I,  but I would not change my life for all the wealth in the world.     I cannot imagine my life without him and I pray that we have many more years together.
           In this present society, I hear a lot of  "men-bashing" and it makes me sick.   I have a good man and I want all to know it.  I'm sure that there are many other fine men out there that work hard and provide for their families.  As wives, I believe that we should do all we can to encourage and life up our husbands instead of tearing them down.   I thank God that He provided me with a good husband.  Ladies,  have you thanked your honeys lately for all they do for you and your family.  I know its easy to nag about undone chores and unpaid bills, but take a moment and tell your husband what he means to you.   We are not promised tomorrow!!!

A is for Attitude.....

Attitude!  Every one has one.  What does your attitude say about yourself?  Well, lately mine has been saying that I am selfish, self centered, and just thinking only of my problems and trials.  However,  God has been convicting me that I need to change my attitude.  A former pastor used to always say "Your altitude is determined by your attitude."  I have decided that I want to fly high. I want to be happy and infectious to others.  I WILL change my attitude and I am working daily to do just that.   You see, your attitude not only affects you, but it affects those around you.   I want to be remembered for having the attitude of Christ.  Simply put, I want to be remember for being a person of love not negativity.   Where is your attitude?  How are you affecting those in your life?  I challenge you to examine yourself and allow God to make the changes that need to be done.

Have a great week!
