We are back. We had a wonderful time away. Jefferson is a cute little town and if ever you are in East Texas be sure to stop there. I will be going back the first Saturday in May for the Civil War Reenactment.
Yes, I am a Gone With the Wind Freak! I wanted to check out the GWTW museum over there but the owner was out of town. The woman has the largest personal collection in Texas.
It's amazing...you don't realize how much history is around you. I live 60 miles SE of Dallas. Of course everyone knows about the tragic history that happened there. East Texas has oil, gas, plantations, sugar, and cotton.
We didn't have school yesterday or today...I told Amanda we will have much to do Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We might have to do some on Saturday also.
Yesterday I felt so bad I didn't get out of bed. I had to do my errands today and buy groceries. My family is so happy when there is food in the house.
I am so grateful for the food and all that God has given us. We all take for granted the things we do have. Our families, shelter, clothes, health, friends. All of these things were given to us. We didn't earn them, we don't have them because of how much we make, what we look like...we have them because God has blessed us, even when we haven't done anything to be blessed.
Whenever we don't think we can make it thru our "trials" we must remember that God is there for us.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength
is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory
in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
I don't know why I keep forgetting this!!!! He is the One who get us out of our Pit, not us!!! We will only dig ourselves deeper!!!
Keep in mind...His grace not ours!!!
