Nov 30 Thankfulness Photo - Christmas Carols

Wow! I did it! I shot and posted 30 photos for November! I am throughly proud of myself and truly amazed at a few of the shots I got with my camera. I'm finishing off November with a glimpse into my December - Christmas Carols! I will be on the road tomorrow headed home to Missouri and ready to pull out the Christmas decor, music, and merriness! 
I am thankful for Christmas carols, no other holiday has so many good songs to sing during it's peak. (No other holiday lasts so long either) I love how Christ centered they are, many of our hymns and songs can become too "problematic us" centered. Really Christmas songs should be sung all year round, they are so good!

Here is my favorite Christmas carol written by Ron Hamilton…

            Born to Die
    On the night Christ was born
    Just before the break of morn,
    As the stars in the sky were fading,
    O'er the place where He lay,
    Fell a shadow cold and gray
    Of a cross that would humble a King.

      Chorus
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      He was wounded that I might live.

    Jesus knew when He came
    He would suffer in shame,
    He could feel ev'ry pain and sorrow.
    But He left Paradise,
    With His blood He paid the price -
    My redemption to Jesus I owe.


      Chorus
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      He was wounded that I might live.

    From His throne Jesus came,
    Laid aside Heaven's fame
    In exchange for the cross of Calv'ry;
    For my gain suffered loss,
    For my sin He bore the cross -
    He was wounded and I was set free.


      Chorus
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      He was wounded that I might live.

    Dearest Lord, evermore
    May Thy cross I adore
    As I follow the path to Calv'ry;
    Of Thy death I partake,
    My ambition I forsake -
    All my will I surrender to Thee.


      Chorus
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      Jesus suffered my sin to forgive;
      Born to die upon Calv'ry,
      He was wounded that I might live.


      Thank you for all who joined me this November in my trek of photography and remembering Thankfulness. I learned from myself this month and found many theme's challenging. I will not be continuing to post everyday or even to post pictures, but please drop by occasionally as I will be continuing with other things. (I just haven't decided what quite yet!)

42 Questions To Ask Your Spouse On Valentine's Day

If you and your spouse were on the Newlywed game show... would you win? My husband and I are going to a couple's retreat next month and decided to get a head start on it by brushing up on our newlywed gameshow questions. We actually did pretty well the first time through, but we keep giving each other pop quizzes to keep the answers fresh in our minds. Below I've made a list of common couples questions that you and your spouse might find fun to ask each other. 1) What is your spouse's all time favorite movie? 2) What would your spouse request as their "last meal"? 3) What is your spouse's favorite pastime? 4) What percentage of housework would your husband say he does? 5) What flavor of cake did you have at your wedding? 6) What is your spouse's ideal date night? 7) Excluding people, what would your spouse say is their most prized possession? 8) At what specific sport or game will you wife say she is better than you? 9) What is your spouse&#

Spring Cleaning Challenge- Day 21, Shower

I hope you had a wonderful weekend, celebrating Easter with family and friends. This week we will be focusing on the bathrooms. (I hope you don't have very many) Because I'm not getting this post out till late morning you might consider swapping today's task and tomorrow's. If you get up early and have already taken a shower you might not want to clean the shower today. Instead you can jump ahead to tomorrow and clean the shower curtain and liner. Then tomorrow morning when you take a shower you can clean it. Do whatever works best with your schedule. CHALLENGE: Clean you shower(s) till it sparkles. Here is a link back to the post about shower cleaner. It really does work the best; It makes my shower tiles sparkle! I find that taking a shower while cleaning it is the easiest way. If you have multiple showers, you might consider not getting soaking wet every time, or asking a spouse or child to help you. Take a scrub brush to work on grout mold, and a sponge to wipe
