This year I obtained a natural wreath like yours at Church, so when the faux one came down, the fresh one went up and I so enjoy how it fits the rest of the season. Happy<br />to join the Sisterhood of the Wreath.<br />I have found the best way to deal with those who wrong others is to<br />pray for them...."Please lead all souls to Heaven, especially those<br />in most need of Thy mercy, the fallen and the falling - may their hearts and souls be converted and may they repent, to know, love, honor and serve Thee according to Thy Will, all the days of their lives.." The hurt<br />is diminished and finds purpose<br />in wishing good for another. I<br />knew you would understand, Sandra.<br />Blessings ~Heritage Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815336926966002348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-80736935055181077382015-01-20T19:49:08.118-05:002015-01-20T19:49:08.118-05:00My blog is not on your sidebar.

Congrats to the winner Debbie. Love the horse and you letting him clean out the feeder. We all need a little spoiling now and then.<br />I too have two of those ceramic egg cookers for the microwave. They work out perfect for hubby and I. We find the older we get the less we eat. I guess that's a good thing. LOL<br />Loved reading your happy happy happy thoughts. You are such a bright star in blogland and I always enjoy your posts.<br /><br />Yes, forgiveness is an important part of our walk with the Lord. To forgive gives us the space to move forward and grow. If not, we are only held back and hurt our self.<br /><br />Wishing you a great weekend.<br />We are predicted to warm up to 66 degrees tomorrow. WOW can it be??<br /><br />Blessings and Hugs<br /><br />Celestina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021633519525822335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-33946156050543123972015-01-16T00:17:50.065-05:002015-01-16T00:17:50.065-05:00I enjoy that you let the horse clean out the feede...I enjoy that you let the horse clean out the feeder! My neighbor has a problem with his horse since he found the chicken feed containers and ate half of it. We giggled about it because he is such a good old horse.<br /><br />The last paragraph, sounds very painful and I agree with you. God tell us to forgive, but nowhere does it say we are to forget! But if it does I know you can correct me! Hugs, I love to read blogs too!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08841562485538558791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-47566325826169001792015-01-15T16:11:26.762-05:002015-01-15T16:11:26.762-05:00Hi Sandra!

If we have the reply checked on the blog, we are inundated with comments in our email. If there is a better way, just let me know. In any case, I'm so happy you are happy. If your blog doesn't show up in my sidebar, you just need to click on "see more". Mine are arranged by how long ago they posted, but I'm limiting them on the blog face.

You're a down-to-earth lady with good sense and a good heart. And not just because I won your duck socket sealers. Although your good sense has been good for both of us here! :D<br />I don't like to think of people cheating you, but I sure do envy your ability to see it for what it is and move on. <br />Forgiveness is something God says we must do and yet I find it hard to do. I'm working on that with His help.<br />I'll let you know when the USPS delivers my little jewels!

My husband and I were deeply hurt by a couple who attend church every week yet they out right lied to my husband which cost him a lot of money . I try to forgive them but as I said to her it is the lie that hurts the most from someone I had been friends with for so many years . There is a bible passage that goes something like this " forgive them for they know not what they do " I try repeating that when this surfaces in my mind , sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't . I enjoy your blog .Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354033852499807242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-36990532797789773472015-01-15T07:26:38.534-05:002015-01-15T07:26:38.534-05:00Oh keep warm my friend you work so hard and the wi...Oh keep warm my friend you work so hard and the winter seems long but spring will be here soon.

This has been an upside-down year for me and my own blogging has suffered, but I'm not giving up. I love your witness to the Lord, and that your posts are REAL. None can snatch us from His hands, and He will lose none of His chosen, which is very comforting when I find myself "so busy" with the affairs of this current stage of life that I neglect Him - He still calls me His own, comforts me and calls me back with open arms. For that I'm grateful, and for blog-friends who share their joys and struggles. Like one of your other readers, I grew up in ranch/farm environment, and miss it and all too often think I'm too old to return to it - the mind has one idea, the body another! Kudos to you for all you accomplish on your farm. May 2015 be your most blessed yet.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05454690665258566957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-4272887110816596932015-01-14T21:20:55.357-05:002015-01-14T21:20:55.357-05:00I make myself breakfast in the microwave everyday....I make myself breakfast in the microwave everyday...using egg beaters, grated mozzarella (so creamy with eggs) and whatever veggies I have left over from dinner.
