Being Thankful Day 3

I'm thankful for relaxing tea after a long day.

If You Have a Chance

Be sure to click on today's  Google's homepage that honors five veterans who share their stories. One from each branch of the military. One is from a woman who is 103 years old!

Being Thankful Day 2

I'm thankful for my salvation. I don't think I would be alive if I hadn't trusted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and allowed Him complete control of my life. Oh I try sometimes to take back control only it always fails when I do.

Being Thankful

Today at church our pastor challenged us to daily post something on our social media site something we are thankful for. I don't have Facebook so my blog will have to do.
I'm going to try to do this daily even if it something that may appear silly to others.
It's obvious I'm thankful for my husband, daughters and my home. But I'm thankful for this lovely appliance:

My friend texted me a few weeks ago asking if I had need for this electric roaster. It was brand new still in the box. I texted back yes! I've always wanted an electric roaster but I never bought one because they are rather expensive. This one I got for free! We named it Oaster Roaster because it made by Oster. It will come in very handy when we make our Thanksgiving turkey so we won't have to wait for the turkey to come out of the oven to make dinner rolls. 

Some Fall Recipes

Hello dear friends with fall here I've read some blog posts in the past few weeks of recipes I'm hoping to try for these chilly nights.

Tajuana, over at My Life 0utside the Box has a yummy recipe Easy Carrot Soup .

Laura, at Harvest Lane Cottage a recipe for  Easy Chicken Soup

Cris, at Recipes That Crock has a  recipe for Crockpot Cheeseburger Soup


I hope you will visit the blogs and try the recipes.  Fall is my favorite time of the year of the year for testing new recipes and soups are the best recipes because you can tweak them to your liking.  Oh did I mention soups are the best comfort foods next to homemade mac and cheese?

When Will the Madness Stop?

If you haven't heard there was another mass shooting. This time it was  at a bar in Thousand Oaks, CA. The killer kiled 12 people before killing himself.

It just madness. Just when we are trying get through the mass shooting at a synagogue in PA, this happens.

It would appear that the bar killer had mental issues that may not have been dealt with properly.

Pray for the families of those that died. One of the victims was a 29 year veteran sherrif who had planned to retire in the next year.

Book Review: Through My Father's Eyes by Franklin Graham

                   
                     



Franklin Graham writes a wonderful book about his memories of his father, the Rev. Billy Graham.  He shares how is father had such a heart for the lost. From  Rev. Graham's early beginnings in ministry to his homegoing service he wanted people to know Jesus. I appreciate in Franklin's book, the gospel is shared throughout each chapter.  Franklin also tells us about his sweet mother, Ruth, who was a faithful wife and mother. She was a woman I would definitely would loved to have met.

In the middle of the book there are photos of family and various events from Billy Graham's life including his humble casket at the Capitol Rotunda   Washington D.C. and also at his funeral. The final photo is of Franklin Graham's parents with the caption " Together again".

I think this book should be read by all Christian believers but I also think it should be read by unbelievers. There is an " altar call"  in the postscript with a prayer to receive Christ as Lord and Savior. That's my favorite part!

I received a copy of this book from the publisher( Thomas Nelson) in exchange for my review.
