Thank you to Jessica and Keli for this award. And let me first say that I’m a little tardy acknowledging them. But thank you girls so much for thinking of me.
And to Angie for this award. All this bloggy love I’m gettin’ is great… but I’m a little technically challenged so all this linking takes me FOREVER…..and I think I’m supposed to link back to the original award givers, but that would mean my children won’t get breakfast.

For now enjoy this prayer that the girls and I read this morning before school:
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, my Savior, I approach You in this morning hour, beseeching You to let Your grace and mercy go with me through the day. Let Your presence give me the blessed assurance of Your divine protection amid dangers, guidance amid uncertainty, and strength against temptations. Bless the labors of my hands. Bless our home with your continued presence. Bless our nation, and let righteousness and peace prevail. Bless Your Church and keep her in Your word and truth. Bless our schools, and grant that boys and girls may grow in grace and knowledge of You and Your will. Remember not the sins of my youth nor my many trespasses. Bring me safely home tonight, and keep me steadfast in faith; through Jesus Christ, my Redeemer. Amen
Love to you all and have a great weekend!
Please let me know (as a very small informal survey) which of you will decorate for Christmas before Thanksgiving and why or why not?
And congratulations to Angie from the above link….who is probably snuggling into her new scarf as we speak!!
