I want to discuss the love and respect that we should show to one another in our family units. When family's treat each other poorly, or talk bad about each other, it not only damages the relationship, but it can cause deep hurt. My husband and I give unconditional love to our children and one another. This unconditional love is more dear to my heart than I can even express. When one of our family members is going through a hard time, we are there for each other and are understanding if they don't choose to do exactly what we may think they should. Love should be freely given and never withheld in an attempt to make them do what we would like. We should never talk badly about a loved one just because they don't do what we would hope they would. We are not meant to judge each other, because we don't know what path someone may be walking on and we don't see their hearts. Only our Lord see's the heart and is meant to place judgement. This world has become a place where love and respect for our fellow man is lacking, we can not control how strangers choose to treat each other, but this kind of hurtful disrespect should not be carried into our family homes because knowing that people who you love dearly are saying hateful and hurtful things about another person in the family can break family bonds that were never meant to be broken. </b></i></span><p></p><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><i><b>This is just a thought on my heart. I pray that as children of God, we would want to hold ourselves to a higher standard and spend our days doing His will and spreading His love, instead of becoming part of the problem in this world. When we must deal with deep hurt I think of the words Jesus spoke and it comforts my heart. In this world you will have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration but take heart for I have overcome the world.

We all have to suffer in this life, no matter who we are, rich or poor, young or old, married or single. When those I love are having to walk through hard times, or when we have a personal challenges to face, it can bring us down pretty low on some days. When I face these hardships (as we all do) I picture myself laying in my Lords arms and being loved and comforted. Jesus is with us through all that we must walk through on this Earth. When we are His children, we are never alone in our sufferings. We may have to turn inward for a time of rest, but once we have regained our strength we must remember not to just focus on our hardships, but to count our blessings and pick up our cross and follow Jesus. We will always endure sufferings while on this Earth, but we must keep in mind that this life is but a drop in the ocean that is eternity. </b></i></span><p></p><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><i><b>I want to thank you for stopping by my little space.

I have wanted to do a no spend many times, but I feel that it is more realistic for me to do a low spend. I long to live a life that is not based in the extreme consumerism that our society seems to foster. I am a work in progress. I enjoy going thrifting very much, but even then I want to be very thoughtful about what I bring into our little house. I like to have items in our home that we either love or use and nothing more. (I am not wanting to be a minimalist in any way, I just want what we love or use to be kept in our home.) I also am a firm believer that anything that comes into our house must have a home so that it does not become clutter. I also find that when I am not spending very much, that I truly appreciate the blessings that I do have. I always have admired how Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family did not have such abundance as we do today, but what they did have they truly treasured. I know that living a life that does not revolve on spending money to make us happy can truly bring about a true joy in the simple things. It also helps me to be thankful to the Lord for all that we have and my mind can be more focused on living a Christ centered life than a life where my joy comes from a more worldly way of living. I read this quote in a book, but did not record where I found it, so I'm afraid I can not share the author. </b></i></span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><i><b>It says, Worldly thoughts and materialism were the furthest things from her mind. She lived on the strictest economy and was a good steward with the money and the things she was provided with.</b></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><i><b>I would say this is how I long to live and I will keep working on myself until I can truly say that I live in such a way. We are all works in progress but when we are willing to admit we need to work in an area of our lives then we can truly work on ourselves and continue to grow always as we live our life no matter what our age may be. This is just what was on my heart and I thought I would share it. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by my little space. God bless you and keep you in His loving care. Hugs to you. </b></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><i><b> ~Juli</b></i></span></div>Our Little Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246772114550647109noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5270218387246370898.post-18963947266448614382023-11-09T07:14:00.000-08:002023-11-09T07:14:06.601-08:00~A Peek Into Our Weeks<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy9a-RECn4WkAt8NOtYywgQ337-jGm01oukTHcM27hgtay1xm6pr1Kns7psOh5Drse7K2fepzE3ew6y09NabOJ3qIlIMf2kgNojWyG1Y-dKp92yazJf-CyJQFtCoEdSWTXmZI321iPQCD0mxSxEUyGwFSw7R3A-Tz10PPEeBrPQ8EQHwx1rSZOoeyHGEkI/s2208/Facetune_28-10-2023-18-15-30.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2208" data-original-width="1244" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjy9a-RECn4WkAt8NOtYywgQ337-jGm01oukTHcM27hgtay1xm6pr1Kns7psOh5Drse7K2fepzE3ew6y09NabOJ3qIlIMf2kgNojWyG1Y-dKp92yazJf-CyJQFtCoEdSWTXmZI321iPQCD0mxSxEUyGwFSw7R3A-Tz10PPEeBrPQ8EQHwx1rSZOoeyHGEkI/w360-h640/Facetune_28-10-2023-18-15-30.jpeg" width="360" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>Here is my daughter Megan with my grandson Leo and his little uncle Tony.</i></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>I just am blessed to have them all in my life. <br /></i></b></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA3BsF06oBGmUm77CcaeSZJRD5FeQ2VixtsLktGAvT1FBZGRh5I9XPUjBG_kR_N8V6kfbcjjGH1DEvK_7Gkoe-plvzr4Mpnplf8KgWvPDuUqS18tu8BWN7qW4QEqvxtExbZGq2IxcOWTRlnmDKvWvH-yZMQ3OISu__1JvYY8Cfrif01xfTaOv7kssiPRcB/s4012/IMG_5354.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4012" data-original-width="2842" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA3BsF06oBGmUm77CcaeSZJRD5FeQ2VixtsLktGAvT1FBZGRh5I9XPUjBG_kR_N8V6kfbcjjGH1DEvK_7Gkoe-plvzr4Mpnplf8KgWvPDuUqS18tu8BWN7qW4QEqvxtExbZGq2IxcOWTRlnmDKvWvH-yZMQ3OISu__1JvYY8Cfrif01xfTaOv7kssiPRcB/w454-h640/IMG_5354.jpeg" width="454" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>I decorated my planner for Christmas.

I found myself in my room begging Jesus to make her well. My prayer resembled that of a child who desperately wants something and won't stop begging. I was in agony. Then something happened that had never happened before so clearly. Jesus spoke to my heart, not with words but I knew what he told me as clearly as if He had been speaking to me with words. He put on my heart that I needed to pray for Lauren like I had prayed for myself when I was very ill with Covid. My prayer for myself had been, Lord please let me get well if it is your will, but if not, then let your will be done, I trust in you. He let me know that Lauren did not belong to me, but rather she belonged to Him. For a moment I was not sure I could pray that prayer for her, but I did. The moment I prayed it, a peace replaced my agony, that had filled my soul moments before. I wanted to share this with you, in case it would help to give someone else peace to keep in mind that God is in control and this world is not all there is, and we should put our trust in the Lord totally, in all areas of our lives. I hope you have a cozy day, and I thank you for taking your time to stop by my blog. God bless you and keep you in His loving care. Hugs to you. ~Juli</b></i></span><p></p>Our Little Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01246772114550647109noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5270218387246370898.post-88908547898833850702023-10-06T06:51:00.000-07:002023-10-06T06:51:12.775-07:00~A Peek Into Our Weeks<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivDBwqS_YrRwfk6Tn9k5wE-8zSSqr1dAHriibGCkzB7a7jYHm7xPi0TizDzZKvB5vcCGpFCORAG87jx5xrueoqAXMeXCOACKQdbWCV9x0m8umNrhmJyTTrDFkNTDeyvUNiP8OoaYU8mZ29oe39I5b8YSnZjArOYF4mr4m5pOXzU6YHPmTmk57BcepPLWRF/s4032/IMG_5212.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivDBwqS_YrRwfk6Tn9k5wE-8zSSqr1dAHriibGCkzB7a7jYHm7xPi0TizDzZKvB5vcCGpFCORAG87jx5xrueoqAXMeXCOACKQdbWCV9x0m8umNrhmJyTTrDFkNTDeyvUNiP8OoaYU8mZ29oe39I5b8YSnZjArOYF4mr4m5pOXzU6YHPmTmk57BcepPLWRF/w480-h640/IMG_5212.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><b><i>In the evenings I enjoy burning a tealight candle in my fairy lamp.

I'm sure I'm not alone in noticing that so many people seem lost and with out joy in their hearts these days. I look back on my life and how people have changed in their actions from when I was a child. Back in my childhood days, it seemed to me that we lived at a slower pace than we do now. I observe how unhappy and on edge so many people seem to be and it just breaks my heart. I often wish that something could be done to bring people back to living their lives for Christ and how that could bring about such a change in the world. One thing I do know is that the only power we have to truly bring about change in this world, is to change ourselves. We can change our hearts by spending time reading God's word, reading our devotionals and truly spending quiet time in prayer. I've always said that little by little still will get the job done when it comes to doing my house work. I believe if we each strive to truly turn our hearts to the Lord, then he will bring about change little by little. This is just a thought that was on my heart today. I hope you have a cozy day!

I use bins for under bed storage of my planner supplies and things of that nature. They are easy to access when I need something, and I know what each bin contains.
