Terrible Tootin'

Believe me, I'm very ashamed at the lack of effort I have put into my blog recently. I just haven't been feeling very bloggerish. (yes, my spell check says that is not a word.) Actually, Facebook is to blame. I'm on it way too much, and then there's this Bejeweled game that keeps me clicking all the time and next thing I know, my "free" time is gone and it's back to raising a family.

Please don't bother looking me up on Facebook though. I only friend people that I've met in person and that I know pretty well. I would love to "friend" the whole world, but that's just not practical!

So, what can I toot about? Nothing really, except maybe this PERFECT picture that I captured just today. It's Glynis, of course.
I'm happy to be hosting this party again and I'll do my darndest (again, spell check doesn't want me to use this word) to keep the party going!! Follow the rules on the left side bar and Have Fun!!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Photographer, I am not

Once again, I'm too busy to blog!! I'll just share these pictures for now. My co-worker/friend, Phyllis, asked me if I'd take her picture as a gift to her husband. I'm not a photographer, but I'm excited that she felt I could do good job. So here is Phyllis... She requested that her eyes be lavender. I can do that!! I use Picnik for photo editing. Check it out.
Isn't she beautiful?

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Past & Present

Whether you're new to this party or not, make sure you review the Toot Your Horn Rules on the left side bar!

Sometimes I just can't believe that I have a child who is about to turn 18. He's a senior! Shouldn't I still be in high school? Wasn't I just sitting in Ms. Pace's 12th grade English class? ARGH!
Look at him! He's so tall and handsome! And this past weekend, I drove up to Northern Virginia to hear him perform with Virginia's All State Chorus, directed by Dr. Z Randall Stroope. Talk about a proud Momma!!
And who's that woman standing with us in the picture, you ask?

It's Kelly! She lives in Northern Virginia and has a beautiful guest room. (Not to mention, the most luxurious bath towels) She's one of my best friends from HIGH SCHOOL! We spent the whole weekend together. (The rest of the family stayed home.) What a great time we had! Mostly just talking talking and more talking. (A lot of laughing and a little singing too, how about those 80s!?) See, there we are...our senior year in high school.

How blessed I feel for friendships that keep me feeling young!

Toot Your Horn Tuesday - Invisible works make Christ visible to the world

If you're wondering what this is all about,
check out the rules on the left side of the page!

Feeling invisible? Sometimes we feel a little unappreciated. We wonder, "Why am I the only one who volunteers?" How about, "I'm sick of picking up after everyone!"

I'm not going to Toot any horns today. I'm taking a moment to share what it means to be a servant-minded believer and a mother. It really means that we are to give preference to others.

So many times, I need to remind myself of God's true desire for my life. Especially at those moments when I'm feeling unappreciated. Moms often don't get the credit we deserve. We're not handed a paycheck twice a month, we don't get promoted for our hard work. But, God sees what others do not see and HE will reward us for those works.

It says so right here in Matthew 6

¹"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

²"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. ³But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, ⁴so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

I hope you'll play along today! Sign Mister Linky!

I'm anxious to see how wonderfully God has blessed you!
