Freedom

Freedom can be taken for granted if we arent careful. We are fortunate to live in a free country! What a privilege to vote, to have a voice, to worship freely and to raise our familes in such a place.
In many ways we are spoiled. Our dogs sleep in better beds and eat better food than many children in our world.
We have so much and whine about what we want to have ...much like a child with their hands full of cookies and asking for more.
Lets be thankful for what we have. One way is to give thanks to GOD. He bless us daily!

Make Valentines Special

Special days can come and go unless you do something to make them stand out. Why not surprise your husband.... Leave a Valentine under his pillow. Write a note on the bathroom mirrow with a lip pencil, draw a heart and write "I LOVE YOU!" Put a Valentine under the windshield wiper for him to find when he leaves for work. Put chocolate hearts in his shoes. Mail a Valentine to his work. Make a special breakfast. Heart shaped pancakes. Heart shaped toast with his eggs! These can be adapted to children as well. Make a memory for your family and for yourself!
