Giving Lessons

We are going through Dave Ramsey's FPU right now.

All I can say is Wow....I have learned a couple of things.

#1 We have never Tithed. Apparently, we always Tipped God.. Only giving what was left after the bills were paid.

Well the other night at 2am I was up praying, and God let me have it.

Hard Core, Loud and In my face...

"Don't go against me on this one"

I brought this up at FPU in our group. Then one of the people said to me!

"Your wallet is always the last thing you give to GOD..

I was so at peace with that statement.. So when I got the taxes I made sure that I gave the correct amount before I payed the bills.

#2 I can and will overcome all obstacles with the help of my Savior.

I am so thankful for this lesson.

Here it Comes....

ThanksGiving...

I love food way too much.

I love being with my extended family, which doesnt happen enough.

But this year is different.

I have to cook Dinner...Yuck.. But since my mom just had a heart attack, I said "I will do it" again Yuck...I am afraid it will turn out like Poor Mr. Beans Turkey....
**But, I know to take off my jewlery.**

My next Yuck* This will most likely be the last thanksgiving with my old Uncle Joe....

He is an amazing person, one whom I look up too and is right up there on my hero list.

I really have only seen him on Easter and Thanksgiving for my entire life, but a couple of years ago, my husband said we should see him more.

So I have made it a point to do that.

I say that this will most likely be the last time, because he is very sick, very old (88) and decided to live life to the fullest with Cancer instead of getting sick trying to fight it.

Its funny how we grow up, Look back on life, Ask questions and get answers we wernt ready for.

Last week I went and visited uncle Joe. We had a nice visit, looking at pictures, eating and just visiting.

Then I asked him a question. "Uncle Joe, I don't remember you being so full of it. You were always so quiet and reserved when you were at our house! What changed?

Uncle Joes answer "You, your Mom and sister were always so obnoxious that no one else could ever talk."

******************************************

So, lets learn a little from the old Uncle Joe..

Sit back, Listen, Enjoy, Dont fret!!!

Who cares if the Turkey Burns, or even gets stuck on your head. Enjoy your family, Make a Gingerbread House like her with your kids

Live, Laugh, Love..and Pray..

None of us know how many Thanks Givings we have left...
