Jenny's Heart

Hay Y'all Today I am blessed to have a roof over my head. There have been times in the last few years when we didn't know what was going to happen or where we would land. God has made a way for us and for that we are comforted and blessed beyond our expectations. Thank you Lord for giving us shelter, cool air in the summer and heat in the winter. So many do not have even those comforts, I pray for them and I am thankful to you for what we have.

Hey Y'all Today my blessing is being able to read. I often take for granted what so many are not able to do. In the store I work in there are 2 men in their early 50's that cannot read. Well just 2 that I know about... It breaks my heart.   They never had anyone in their lives when they were young to teach them. They went through school and were just pushed along, no one took the time.  Now they are afraid to even try. I am so very blessed that I had teachers and parents who took time with me. My mom and dad instilled in us very early; the love of the written word, for that I will be ever grateful. I LOVE to read, and thank God there are creative and talented people on this earth that were blessed with the ability to tell a story. These amazing men and women can take me out of my car, bed, chair etc... and transport me into a world they created, I love it. I get so wrapped up in a good book I can tune out everything around me, I can see and feel the environme...

Hey Y'all, Today I am blessed to have great friends in my life. I have met some wonderful women in the blog world, that have truly blessed my life. I am almost hesitant to name them, only because I am afraid I will leave someone out, so to name a few, and I am sorry if I miss you, (my 40 year old brain is not as good as my 39 year old brain was...ha ha ) Lucy aka Julie at Ric Rac and Polka Dots I am so glad to have you in my life. You always make me smile. Peg at  Peg's Crafting Corner You are one of the sweetest women I know. HUGS! Marcia God brought us together when we needed it. I love you to bits. Elizabeth at Creative Breathing Your kindness and creativity blow me away. I miss ya :) Angela at Down to the Darling Details . We met through Sandy at 521 Lake Street 's Easter Swap that was one of the best days, when God made us friends in an instant! LOVE YOU! Sandy  is so very creative and a lovely woman, whom I am blessed to call my friend. Tris...

Hey y'all, I hope you are well today. I debated and hemmed and hawed over whether or not to post this, and I decided since my blog is also a kind of journal for me I decided I would. Day 4: My sweet fur baby is my blessing. On October 5th we lost our sweet boy. Our puppa Cody. He was a sweet dog, very much the Alpha Male, Loved Lee more than anything on this earth. He drove us crazy, loved to play, made us laugh, gave sweet kisses  and always protected us from any noise :) He wasn't as social as we would have liked. He liked things just between the 3 of us. He never bit or snapped at anyone but would bark his fool head off if you came near. He loved to snuggle on the back of the couch or sitting beside Lee. He loved to get a treat when he came in form outside. We now know that some of the treats we fed him may have contributed to the kidney failure that ended his life all too soon. We are not certain, but it seems too coincidental. We had him cr...

Hey y'all, well I think I am all caught up. I even have my day 4 blessing done and scheduled to post :P Today my blessing is Lee. WAY BEFORE I KNEW HIM :) I think he said he was around 10 years old here. I love that dimple and smile. Here he is a couple years ago. I think this is my favorite photo of him. My sweet husband can drive me up a wall. Thinks I am cute when I am mad at him. Is a redneck. Annoys me with clutter. Can be selfish and rude. Can be silly and sweet. Is the most loyal man I know. Stinks at gift giving. Loves everything I cook. Loves science fiction. Hates cheese to touch mustard...weirdo :) Can procrastinate like a champ...ha ha Lives in pain everyday. Holds me in his arms. Wishes he was a daddy. Loves being Uncle Lee. Loves the Lord. Watches British comedy and dramas with me. Loves me unconditionally. He loves me. I know that, without a shadow of a doubt I know he loves me. For that and so much more,...

Hey Y'all, My Blessing today is my job. Ugh, y'all  have no idea how hard that is to say. Especially after how bad the last few months have been. I do not like my job at all so finding the blessing in it is not easy. God has put me where he wants me so I am trying hard to learn all He has for me there,. I am blessed to be working, to have an income, and to be able to see, hear, walk and talk to people every day.

Hey Y'all, Well after a heat wave it finally feels like fall again. I love it. So I had intended to do 30 days of thankful   and I have already missed 2 days, then I decided I would make mine 30 days of Blessings. I forget sometimes how blessed by my loving Lord I am. Day 1: I am Blessed to live in a country that (for now at least) allows us the freedom to practice any religion we chose. I am a  believer in Jesus Christ. I believe he lived and I believe he died for me more than 2000 years ago. I believe he loves everyone of us.  For me it is not really a choice, it is ingrained in my DNA to love Jesus. Does that make me perfect? NO WAY! I am a miserable sinner that because Jesus died for me is saved by grace. Am I a perfect Christian, unfortunately the answer to that is also No.  I have a quick temper, I gossip way more than I should, I talk too much all too often, I give things to the Lord to handle and I take them back, I am not proud to say in my younger y...
