Treasure Each Moment While it Lasts

-

When I first thought to write about this, I was going to say something like treasure each moment with your siblings while you have them. Well, I decided to broaden the category and make it every moment.
It is so important that we enjoy each season of our life. It won’t last forever and someday you’ll miss it, so treasure it now while you can.
Treasure those moments you have with your family because some day you’ll grow up or they’ll grow up and move out and then you’ll miss them. I have four brothers, but they’ve all moved out now. First my oldest brother moved off to college. Then my third brother, almost 16 years old, goes home to be with Jesus. Then my second brother goes to college. Lastly my fourth brother leaves the home and goes to college. I miss each one of them a lot. Treasure the times you have with your siblings.
Maybe you’re a young mom with lots of crazy little children running around. Maybe you’re tired of the endless runny noses to clean or the dirty diapers to change, or fights to break up. Believe it or not, some day they will grow up and move out, too. Treasure those moments. Some day the house will be still and quiet. No more the sound of little running feet; no more chubby little faces to kiss goodnight; no more muddy floors to clean from dirty feet. You’ll wish it all back when it is too late. Children grow up a lot quicker then you realize, just ask my Mom.
Treasure each moment. It won’t last forever. If you are always wanting what you do not have then you will never be happy. Learn to be content in every season of life and your joy will be full. Laugh with your little brothers or sisters. Laugh with them over a little joke they tell. Take each season of your life with joy. Treasure each moment while it lasts.

Philippians 4:4
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!”

1 Timothy 6:6
“Now godliness with contentment is great gain.”

    This is so true. You can't take back the moments. Life is so short. We need to not waste our lives but live each moment for Christ.
    Phil 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
    NKJV
    Matt 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
    NKJV

Winnie the Pooh

I have a confession. Ok, not really a confession because just about everyone who actually knows me knows it and I am not ashamed of it, but.... I have an obsession, of sorts, with Winnie the Pooh! Yes, go ahead and laugh, but seriously, I kind of like him a lot (ok, not as much as Cowboys, but that is a different story). So my car has a little Winnie the Pooh hanging on the mirror and he basically is my friend that accompanies me on all my road trips and road adventures of getting lost (happens a lot). So, whether you like it or not this post is Winnie the Pooh quotes. I probably just scared away half my readers, but you know if you can't put up with my Winnie the Pooh obsession for just one day than that is really just too bad. Be thankful I did not decide to do a Seven Brides for Seven Brothers post instead. I would understand if you left me after that. That would be the testing of whether we are true friends or not, but this time I am just sticking with Winnie the Po...

Hidden Treasures From the Thrift Stores

I know it can be kind of discouraging for Christians girls, who really desire to dress modestly, to go shopping. Often times it is very hard to find something that is modest. Yet if you look hard enough, you can find the hidden treasures. One of my favorite places to buy clothes is at the thrift stores. That way I can get a good deal and there is also usually more of a variety. Therefore, today my mom, sister, and I went shopping and we're blessed to find two very nice (at least in my opinion), but also modest dresses. This is my dress. I am wearing a white t-shirt with it, because it only has straps. This is Priscilla's  dress. So my encouragement to ya'll girls out there trying to dress modestly: DON'T GIVE UP! There is modest clothing out there, it just might take a bit of searching. Also, don't forget to check out the thrift stores. That is where I find almost all of my clothes. People are all the time getting rid of their clothes that are in really...
