Money Saving Monday
Use it up. Wear it out. Make do. Do without. A popular theme used during the Great Depression in the 1930's. Families had to do all of those things just to survive since jobs, money and food were hard to come by. I remember hearing my grandma talk about some of the...
Not Everybody Has Somebody
This saying came to my mind this morning as I woke up really early praying for my cousin who is having brain surgery today. I know there are so many people praying for her. I started praying my "usual daily" prayers for my husband, my daughters, my mom, my in-laws, my...
