Treasuring Up Good Times


We Decorated our Porch Today

We have a lot of fun at our house. 
 There is always someone coming over, stopping by, or visiting.  


We stay super busy in the Fall.  
My Mom and Dad like to make the house look fun with Decorations.  
We have people here from church nearly every weekend, and Missionaries sleep over in our Guest Room a lot.  All of this stuff brings many good times here at our home. 

I made this bird
It is a Black Bird for Fall

It's not that we have a lot of money, because we SURE don't!  But we use stuff like leaves, nuts, and nature to decorate, and to do crafts.  We grow our own vegetables for meals with Family, and friends.  We shop at ALDA and my mom uses coupons like crazy.  

And we always have enough.  It's like the verse in the Bible that says, "The Son of man is going to come in His Father's glory with the Angels, and then He will reward each person  according to what he has done"(Mt 16:27).  




We collect Leaves in Fall and
do all kinds of Crafts with them


That is what I mean about Treasures.  

I read a book about Hudson Taylor, a great missionary to China.  

He said, "The less I spent on myself, and the more I gave to others, 
the FULLER of happiness and blessing did my soul become."  



We gather up acorns in the fall, and then
when it snows, we throw them
out into the backyard for the
Squirrels to have a Snow Feast

It doesn't matter if you are helping animals, people, babies, or anything else.  When you give, it makes you happy inside.  God feels really good, too.  

What about you, do you like to treasure up good times?  Do you give of yourself?  I would love to know what you think about this topic... you can leave a comment if you want.
