Why is Today Special?

Thoughtful Moments
As each morning comes, it is an opportunity for a new adventure!

I can't tell you how happy I am, in the early morning hours. Everything is fresh and new. Right now, we have lots of snow on the property. The sun has just risen and everything is quiet.

I plan to clean. . .   and sew . . .   and bake brownies. . .  I will listen to the chatter of my three teenagers and talk on the phone with my two adult children. I can't wait to start this very special day.

Why is it special? Only because I decided it will be.

There is too much pain in the world and too many trials. We have good moments and bad ones. Life is like a roller coaster, but the bad always passes away.  This gives us an opportunity for those cherished happy times.

Today will be one of those happy times. And I will make every effort to be cheerful and patient and focused on the family - rather than self.

This afternoon, I will take a long tea break and have a special treat while reading or watching an old program on the television.

May your day be blessed with rainbows and cheer!

Blessings
Mrs. White

Enjoy your special day!

Today, I'm taking a big leap... I am taking two of my daughters to visit my grandmother. I've only met her once and she's not been a part of our lives at all. She is now in her 80s and God has put it on my heart to reach out and make an effort so...here I go! :)

Have a great day,

Mrs. Sarah Coller

Very true! We make the choice everyday to decide if our day will be special or not. I also love the mornings, when the house is still clean from the night before and my little rascal hasn't gotten into every nook and cranny yet :) Thank you Mrs. White for another inspiring blog post.
