That's right I am joining in on the Gratituesday from Heavenly Homemakers.
Today we were encouraged to take this on to facebook or into the world.
Since gratitude is something we are asked to give to God shouldn't we share our gratitude with others?
So, I will start by saying that my gratitude is all about my family.
Thank you God for providing me with such and awesome husband and such amazing children. Thank you for loving parents and plenty siblings and even more cousins! That will be my focus this week and I WILL share it with my family around the dinner table.
Thank you for the amazing Godly Influence!

My Beloved
My amazing Beloved has started to blog himself. I really enjoyed his last post about back to school. Won't you head on over to see what he wrote I fully agree with what he wrote. So, please head on over and be sure to leave him a note saying that you stopped. Also, come back and leave me a comment here telling me if you feel the same way. Also why you feel that way. Perhaps this is an issue I should jump into more myself.

School
For those of you that don't already know we are homeschoolers. This time of year everyone is talking about back to school. Homeschoolers are talking about school rooms, curriculum choices, and a host of other discussions.
So, in keeping with that I thought I would share a little bit about what we do and why.
This year we chose a different curriculum thanks to a close friend. We are doing KONOS! There are also 2 other families from our church using this curriculum. The 3 of us get together once a week. We all started up 2 weeks ago. I have found this curriculum to be very freeing. KONOS is a unit study for those of you that are wondering.
Now, while KONOS is awesome it does not cover phonics or math. So, we do those subjects first thing in the morning and Konos in the afternoon. For math we are using Saxon math. Phonics is covered in Sing,Spell,Read, Write. Also for my older son I am using www.spellingcity.com I simply plug in the Konos vocabulary words and off he goes.
The afternoon is filled with Konos activites.
Of course we also do chores throughout the day. Laundry is an all day affair.
Morning school takes place at the dining room table for all of the kids with my oldest switching to the computer for spelling. Konos activities are all over the house, yard, and other places. Most of them are right in our own living room!
So, there you have it. What we use and where we school. So much fun and excitement!
So, what are you using this year? Or, are you sending your kiddos off to school?

What is God Saying?
That's right what is God saying to you?
Is He talking to you throughout the day?
I am really trying to remember that all those little distractions that interrupt my day. Well they are really sent by Him.
So, when the kids are screaming, the house looks like a tornado hit, and the doorbell rings. That is God.
When I am on the phone and a child gets into something. That is God.
Since I was taught and KNOW that God doesn't make mistakes. Who am I to correct Him? How can I say He is wrong?
I guess it is time to step back and remember that He sent these wonderful blessings to me and He ordains my days.
So, what are you dealing with that God is speaking to you through?
