Thankful Thursday

Back when I started Thankful Thursday I explained that there is a little game we have played for many, many, many years. We call it the Thankful Game. When attitudes are lousey or when we are feeling sad, we play the game. We have played the Thankful Game a zillion times (no exaggeration!). 1. I…

Thank You so Much Bloggy Friends!

Hey bloggy friends….today has been a different and very difficult day of sorts. We had to meet with our insurance adjustor regarding the fire. Not such a good time. We are deeply concerned. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated. Since meeting with the adjustor I would say it is good that tomorrow is Thankful Thursday….

“Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.” Matthew 25:40 I had mentioned a few months ago that Dw was taking a Missions Team to Africa in the early summer. Due to the fire…

An Open Letter From Our Son Tyler (Currently Depl*yed)

March 23, 2009 Linny Saunders56 Comments

As many of you know, our oldest son, Tyler, is currently depl*yed. I do not mention what he does because we are not really allowed to talk about it, as he is part of an Elite Forc*. When Tyler was about 8 years old he said to me, “Mom, someday I would like to be…

I was so tickled to learn yesterday that I had received the Sisterhood Award. Since I grew up with only brothers and married a man who also only had brothers I felt kind of ripped off in the “sister” catagory. What an absolutely delightful award to receive. My friend Carol gave me the award. She…

Surprise! Some of you may remember, just a few days prior to the fire I did a post about a little quilted coat that was given to Elizabeth by someone anonymous. In that same post I mentioned that a friend of mine, Trina, had written to me to say that her 15 year old girl…

What is Up With How Men Put Kids Pants on??

March 18, 2009 Linny Saunders29 Comments

Am I the only woman out there who seems to notice when Dad has put the pants on a kid? Over the years I have stood at the church door and greeted people coming in. Never fails when a little girl is limping across the parking lot with the tights looking like Elijah’s pants looked…

Memorial Box Monday – On Tuesday

March 18, 2009 Linny Saunders26 Comments

I am happy to report that due to the power of prayer and the help of medicines (even poopy tasting ones) the girls are feeling better. They are talking instead of laying like zombies moaning. Okay, j/k about the moaning part. Anyway, I love Memorial Box Mondays and pray that many of you will begin…

Midnight in Colorado

Some days just don’t turn out like we plan. No matter what. Remember when I said in the last post that I hadn’t ever seen a throat 1/2 as bad as Emma’s in all my years? The pediatrician, mind you, sees thousands of throats and when she told Emma to open up (while holding her…
