New

Today over at http://thegypsymama.com for the five-minute-Friday, writing, the word is NEW.  So here goes my five minutes of writing.


When I think of the word New, my mind automatically goes to the saying, New Every Morning, Great is Thy Faithfulness.  


I am so glad that the Lord has given each one of us a new day.  


A day that is like a clean slate.


A day that will only get messed up, if I let it.


A day to begin over.


A day to look at my children and try to make their day happy.  Without me fussing or complaining at them over some little things.


A new day to hear from my granddaughter, Shelby.

A new day that might bring my Mandy a new job that she so deserves.


I am just glad that I wake up to the sound of birds, not guns or bombs going off.

That's all folks!

Five Minute Friday

Five Minute Friday: Everyday

Okay, I made a mistake today.  I normally just write for five minutes and then quit.  Only today after I had posted, I realized that it was suppose to be about everyday.  So here goes....

Everyday, I wake up to a new day.  One that has a clean slate.  Perhaps, yesterday, I made a mistake, said a word that hurt someone, forgot to spend that precious time with the Lord.  But today, is a new day.  One that I have yet to mess up.

Everyday, I am given a new chance to help someone, give a smile to a sad face, give a helping hand to one that needs it.  It is always my choice what I do with my day.

Just this morning, as I was talking with Him, I was so thankful for a new day.  In my mind's eye, it was like I could see a white board and it was up to me to write what I wanted on it.  My prayer, is that when I lay my head down on the pillow, I can look back and see that I was kind and that I walked in the way that the Lord would be proud of me, His child.

I just got off the phone with my Lexie.  For I am in Texas and I left everyone back in Alabama.  This stay will actually be the longest I have stayed away from home since my Mother passed away in 2000.

I asked my Lexie where she was and she asked me if I remembered the tire store that is close to the house.  Now this is not a big store, more like a old gas station that has been turned into a tire place.  I honestly think that it is more of a hang out place.  So this is where my daughter likes to go and hang out with her friends?  For the past couple of months, she has taken to talking to me more.  She even takes the time to call and share her day with me and ask my advice on her guy friends.

Now as a mother, we know that our children don't always share with us.  She really makes my day when she does this.  It makes me long for home more than ever.  But I won't be returning home until the 13th, due to my little Shelby going to a tennis camp.  At that time, my two grand-daughters will return with me and then their parents will come for them the week of  the 18th of July.

I am so blessed to have four lovely daughters and two granddaughters. 

Tomorrow, my Mandy and I will attend a succullent seminar.  Then I am sure that we will bring plants home to enjoy.
