Happy Labor Day 2011

I always get a kick out of saying "Happy Labor Day". Just seems like an odd thing to say. But really...in today's terrible economic climate, it does make me happy and most grateful to God for my job. I realize there are many, many hurting and struggling families out there. I pray that I never forget the source of my blessings and that I do whatever is in my power to ease the burdens of someone else.

I stayed up late last night to do this 150-piece Disney puzzle. I just love the Disney characters, especially Winnie the Pooh. :) My daughter and I went to see the Pooh movie last week at the local dollar theatre. It was really cute. Admittedly, I didn't want to pay full price for a Pooh movie, so I waited until it came to the dollar theatre. Truthfully, there aren't many movies that I would want to pay full price for....

Above are 3 magazines I love to read. The pictures are phenomenal and the stories are inspirational.

I am still reading "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. It's a great read!!

Here is a t-shirt I bought my daughter prior to school starting...haha. Isn't it comical?

My sweet, sweet daughter...I love you!

Talked to my son a little bit ago. His wife's parents came for a visit this past weekend, so they had a fun-filled few days.

I was listening to a sermon this morning on the radio and the preacher stated this: "The Christian Army is the only one where they shoot the wounded". Sadly, this is true. It's been my experience that those who profess Christianity the loudest are often the cruelest and most critical of people. This has been weighing on my heart lately. Those who belong to Christ are brothers and sisters. We should act like family. Never would I treat any of blood brothers and sisters, purposely, in a hurtful or vindictive way. Surely, our siblings in the LORD deserve that same kind of respect and treatment. The time is short. May He help us (me) to treat others the way that we ourselves want to be treated.

In His Love,

Lorrie
