• ~ Autumn Blessings ~

     

  Hi & Blessings to Y’all!!
  
  I know it’s been awhile, but we’ve been busy with our fall craft shows, and just our everyday life!  We also were visited by the flu bug, which slowed us down, so lots of vitamins and minerals were being used here, and we’re pretty much back to good health again.  I haven’t been sick in awhile, and I attribute that to Olive Leaf Extract, Grape Seed Extract, and Ester-C.  This particular form of Vitamin C stays in your system a full 24 hours, so if you’re taking it consistantly, you will always have that added defense against illness.  It’s kept me healthy for over 2 years…but unfortunately, that flu bug came home with my son, and apparently my resistance was a bit down, but I’ve found that the herbs and vitamins will shorten the duration of the illness.  As you can tell, I’m into nutritional healing, and have treated my family naturally for over 20 years now.  I believe in being pro-active in preventing illness as we grow older.  God gave us every herb bearing seed in the garden, and His wisdom to use them, and I believe this has kept us pretty healthy through the years!  I know that this is still no excuse for not keeping this blog up to date!  They say that if you do something for 30 days, it will become a habit……I’m slowly getting used to doing this, so it will probably take at least 30 days for me!! 
  
  

  

  Hope you are all doing well out there in “Blogville”.  I’m lovin’ reading all the blogs of those I know out there…and the new friends I’m making, as well.  I’ve been on the computer since about 2000, and this is the first time I’ve had something that resembles a web site.  I’d love to have one of those soon, to sell my soap and candles, and to share my faith, but I don’t know the first thing about starting one!  I’m also wanting to learn to use e-Bay just to sell some homeschool books, and other things around here I need to purge our home of….so much to learn and do, so little time!!
  
  

  Well, I hope you’re all enjoying these beautiful fall days!!  They say rain tomorrow, which may take some more of the leaves off the trees, but alas, all God’s seasons must come to their end!!  I have some thoughts on “the most wonderful time of the year”…and I’m sorry, I don’t mean Christmas…but it is a wonderful life!!  I really never did like the colors red and green together!!  I much prefer the red, gold, rust, green, and yellow against a clear blue backdrop, during the fall season!  Read on and if you can add any of your thoughts or memories to mine, I’d love to hear them!!

  

  Aaaah, a most welcome change from the hot, humid, summer days
  to the cool, crisp, autumn air….
  hayrides, straw hats, and crisp apples….
  bib overalls, flannel shirts, and big, warm, comfy sweaters….

  the smell in the air of people warming their homes with firewood….
  a day of raking, and the smell of late afternoon burning leaves….
  the harvest moon shining big and bright….
  relaxing around a warm crackling bonfire with cups of hot steaming cocoa….
  no worries here, but don’t forget the whipped cream!

  Driving down a country road, beholding an array of autumn colors against
  God’s backdrop of a clear, deep, blue sky….
  Crisp autumn leaves giving up their hold, gently falling, and playing in the wind!
  It is my favorite time of year!!

  It’s a special month to me…
  My husband and I were married October 29th, 24 years ago….
  it was a beautiful fall crisp day….
  we had a regular old fashioned pitch-in…..
  the food was down home good, and simply delicious!!
  We had carrot cake, and apple cider…..
  the traditional white cake and punch just didn’t seem to fit here!!
  
  We wanted a horse and buggy to announce our union…instead of a car, string, and cans!!!
  We just got the car….but at least we had a horn!! 
  It was a good day……
  
  If anyone wants to add their Autumn memories,
  or share a special thought,
  I’d love to hear from you!

  Tahnks to all tohse taht cmomneted on my lsat etrny…..it is qitue srtagne how taht wrkos! 
  Waht is raely srtagne, is tyrnig to tpye it taht way!!  If you can, you tulry hvae typo-glycemia!
  ‘Fraid I don’t have a natural cure for that one!!

  Well, moving on….for the movie reveiw of the year….
  we don’t go very often….not much to see out there that’s worth our time or money! 
  We did go to see “One Night With the King”. 
  It was pretty close to the Biblical account of Hadassah/Esther. 
  I know that the writer-evangelist, Tommy Tenney, has a book out called Hadassah ….
  has anyone read that one?  That’s what the movie is supposedly based on. 
  I’d be curious if anyone has read the book, then went see to the movie….how close is it?  
  Being honest, it didn’t stick with me after we left, at least not like I thought it would,
  after all the publicity leading up to it.  My son enjoyed it. 
  My husband found a few discrepancies with it in relation to the Biblical account.
  ….is there any Biblical based movie that truly follows scripture????…..
  (I believe the “Jesus” movie does, now that I think about it)….
  but all in all, I believe it was worth the see! 
  Beautiful costumes, and filmed on site in grand castles!
  “For such a time as this…” who knows whose heart this movie will touch!!!
  
  ><><><><><><><><
   
  Well, I’ll keep the rest for another day….SOON!!
  In the meantime, I encourage you all to think on,
  and thank Him for your daily blessings! 
  For our blessings are many!! 
  Have a happy and blessed Fall!!
