For the Joy of it

For the joy of it I am going to be grateful today, I am going to over look the smell of the guinea pigs because they bring such joy to Hope. I am going to over look the smell of the gerbils because my son loves them. I am going to overlook the cat’s claws because she sleeps on me when I take a nap and it is a great feeling. I will over look the surprises the dog leaves me occasionally because he is great to play dress up with and he never gets mad.
For the joy of it I am going to love on my husband no matter what. I am going to overlook his dirty laundry on the floor because he lets me snuggle with him at night and he keeps me warm. I am going to over look the complaints my teen has because he truly is the most loving generous child I know.
For the joy of it I am going to wake up smiling, I am going to continue smiling no matter what because I serve a risen savior who went through so much more than I can imagine for me.
For the joy of it I am going to remind you that it is not to late to enter my first sponsored give away right here.

Just for the Joy of it

This weekend we went to a Warrant Officer picnic. I was expecting it to be all about joining the association. There was no talk of that. Just plain fun, food and getting to know one another. The kids loved it and it gave Rob and I time to relax and play. They had a man there with snakes and the python was just crawling or should I say slithering around the ground. He was HUGE. kids were touching him and he started climbing a man’s leg. The owner assured us that he had been fed recently and would not be dangerous. They had pony rides. They planned on having horse rides but the picnic was right across from the shooting range and that horse was having nothing to do with it. The food was amazing and then they had a smoke house which was amazing but I will talk about that later

Just for the Joy of it

I know these are old pictures. There are pictures of the day Rob left for Iraq last time. There are pictures of the last father/daughter banquet. But what brings me joy is my husband. Seeing him in his uniform really brings me joy snicker snicker. Maybe it is the fact that I know he is leaving us again 2 weeks from today. This man brings me joy and peace.
