Where in the world are you?

Just Married with Coupons



I love this blog hop!  I like to find out where people are and what it's like where they live.

I live near Chicago, but I am out in the country.
We get the best of both worlds around here!
Just yesterday I was downtown Chicago volunteering at a feeding center 
(yes, I was with drunks, pimps, transvestites, the poor, needy and afflicted, and plenty of others)
and came home where I can see horses in the back yard 
and a donkey across the street!
What is interesting about the world around you?

What's your specialty?





What do you do for people?  Everyone has something special about them that they are known for and that they do for others.  Some people make quilts, some cook, some hug, some always have a kind word, some throw awesome parties, etc.

I think I have several specialties.  First, I like to make my house a home.  You know... nest!
I want people to feel cozy and comfortable when they come to our house.  If they come for a dinner, I set it up buffet style so they can feel at ease getting things out of the kitchen.  If they come to stay, I provide everything that I think they may need for their stay and show them around the kitchen so that they can help themselves if need be.

I want our home to be a place of refuge for my husband and family.  Of course, it first starts with me (that's the hard part) and then it can transfer to the actual house.  Love, no yelling, no name calling, kind acts, and blessings are all things that my family tries to give to each other.

If I am out of the house (I said IF), I like to give.  I give kind acts, cards that say "God loves you", extra tips, and of course, a smile goes a long way!

Someday, I'd like to learn to quilt and give them to people.  Quilts are just cozy!

So, what's your specialty?

Tamara Laroux: Surviving a Suicide Attempt

I was overcome when I watched this video. 

I felt what she described.
I was covered in God-bumps and then started to sweat.
This testimony is POWERFUL!

PLEASE watch it and then share it with someone else!

Get Off Your "Blog"!

Is your house a mess?  Need to get it clean in a hurry?  Get off your blog!  Hah....

I was cleaning in a big hurry because I have a TON to do today and I thought I'd share what I use.  When I put praise music on I can multi-task to the max!  I can get my house clean AND praise the LORD while doing it. 

Here are the songs that I am using this morning.  You can buy them off of AMAZON for about .99 cents.

If Mary and Joseph Had Used Facebook

I saw this at church last night and thought you all might like it!  Sounds weird but it actually stirred me up inside.
