Mrs. Homeschool

When Christmas was approaching, my husband asked what I wanted from him.  Nothing on my “list” was anything major…just some “smell good” things and a new insulated cup for my water.

On December 25th, there was no mug with my name on it.  I wasn’t really disappointed…just figured I’d find one on my next trip to Target.  But God had other plans…

My dad got 2 insulated mugs as gifts from friends at work…mugs that he would never use.  So he gave me one…a stainless steel mug that is PERFECT for my water!

I know it’s not a HUGE deal…it’s just a water mug.  But to me, it’s much more than that.  It’s a little reminder that even though it’s “just a water mug,” God cared enough to give me a mug for Christmas…something I had really wanted.

Now every time I fill my mug, I am reminded that my God CARES about the little things!

I encourage you to find those little things God does to remind you that He loves you and cares about the little things.

If you haven’t been keeping up with my blog, I’ve recently been posting different ways you can save at least 10 minutes in 2010.

One of those ways was using the meal planning service recommended by Dave Ramsey, e-Mealz.com.   You can get a 3 month membership for just $15 and it will give you a nice variety of meals AND recipes every week.

I actually got enough ideas out of my 3 month membership that I didn’t renew, but once the warmer weather comes along, I’ll sign up again to get some new ones.

If meal planning is becoming a chore for you, this might be just what you need to get your “meal mojo” back. :o)
