Do you like Christmas Stories? I love this time of the year when you find tons of books with a  Christmas theme. Melody Carlson has a new novel out called The Christmas Pony About With Christmas around the corner, the Turnbull family is in need of a few small miracles. It is 1937, and Lucy Turnbull knows better than to wish for a pony this Christmas. Her mother has assured her in no uncertain terms that asking for a pony is the same as asking for the moon. Besides, the only extra mouths they need at their boarding house are the paying kind. Then an interesting pair of strangers comes to town, and Lucy's world changes forever. This was a fun story to read.  Lucy's character reminded me of a child with a one tracked mind.. and she knows  beyond anything else, she is going to get a pony for Christmas!   This is one story you will want to read this holiday season...

Do you need some great books to snuggle up with this winter? Recently I have read some great novels, I would like to share with you. Twice Promised by Maggie Brendan   Two beautiful brides. One unsuspecting groom. Three weeks to figure it all out. Greta Olsen arrives in Central City, Colorado, as a mail-order bride, expecting to marry Jess Gifford, the man she's come to know through his tender letters. But when she meets Cora Johnson, she discovers she's not the only bride waiting at the train station for Jess. Already shocked to find they must compete for Jess's affection, the young women can hardly believe it when not Jess but his brother Zach picks them up from the station--and reveals that Jess knows nothing about any mail-order bride, let alone two. Will either bride make the match she hopes for? You can imagine the fun these ladies are going to have in this book. Both ladies think they are there to marry Jess, but Jess  had no idea.  This is a very funny book, I laugh

  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17 Today I am thankful for my girls. They are a blessing!  Janelle and Kalyn you have brought so much joy into this mom's heart.  I love you girls!  I couldn't be more prouder of you both... Keep living for  Jesus and shining His light to those around you. What are you thankful for today?

November is the month we set aside to give thanks.  November is the month we celebrate Thanksgiving, the time where we remember our founding fathers coming to America.  Its the month where we tell and retell the story of the Pilgrims and the Indians. Its the month that I have set aside, (as well as many of my friends) to take time out each day to write something I am thankful for.   In every thing give thanks.... 1 Thess 5:18 So today's thankful... I am thankful for my husband, Doug. He is a very hard worker, and does anything and everything he can to support his family. I love that he is willing to set aside things he wants, to  be able to give to the family what we need.    I love you Doug, and thank the Lord everyday that  he placed you in my life! What are you thankful for today?
