Thanksgiving!

I just want to start off by wishing all you fantastic readers an amazing Thanksgiving! I hope it showers you with blessings like mine has already done.

I went over to visit the sweet,loving and caring older lady who lives across from us with my little(ish)
sister Elsa. And I am thankful for her. She is just so kind to us and gives us the most amazingly tight hugs every time we see her. She found out that I am allergic to earrings that are not gold or silver, so she went to her jewelry box and found some earrings she thinks are gold! It isn't the earrings that mean so much to me. It's her generosity and her love that makes me so thankful for her; she is always ready to lend a hand. I love her.

I have two amazing priests at my Catholic church. They have done so much for me and my church. They have introduced Vespers to my parish, they always have my family in their prayers, and I am so thankful for them. Our life would be so different without them. I am thankful that I have the Catholic faith in my life. I know I would be so lost without it.

My family is always there for me. Listening to me. Caring for me. My father who goes to work every day to feed us, my mother who works so hard to give us an education and all the other many, many, many, many thousands of things that they do. My siblings joking with me, helping me, laughing with me, playing with me, and just being amazing siblings. I know they all do so much for me. And I am thankful, so thankful for all of them, even the teasing, yes, I am thankful for that too. Love you guys! <3

I am also thankful for books, food, games, love, laughter, hugs, smiles warm blankets, clothes, warm houses, Catholic churches, beds, friends, water to drink, trees, flowers, my blog readers, my fine art directors during the summer, and so many, many more things.

So I just want to say thank you  to God for everything He has put in my life. Thank you GOD!

Everyone, have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Love you all!


Love,
Emma

It makes me happy

Image
            You know what makes me happy? We have these sunflower seeds that we got for the chickens we have. Sometimes I take a handful and throw them around the yard near the window beside the spot where I do almost all my school, that way birds will come and eat the seeds. So when I look out my window during school hours I sometimes see 1 to 8( or some, idk xD) birds there, and it's so lovely.they are so brightly colored, and sometimes they sing.       I wish I could whistle like a bird, one of my many brothers can whistle a lot like a mourning dove. Anyway, the birds just kind of fill me with happiness and peace.and if I look up from the ground I see the  neighbors yard. It looks so beautiful with all the new, freshly colored leaves and the flowers blooming there. it's all just too wonderful. Spring is an amazing thing.      Isn't it nice that God has made so many beautiful things for us to enjoy? Imagine a world without birds? or dogs? Or books!! Or families that lov

I Entered a Writing Contest!?!?!

I entered a writing contest today. and holy moly I am nervous!  Especially after reading my entry, because I saw thing i want to change but I've already sent it in! i will give you the story exactly like it was when i sent it in though  I really want to get 3rd place or an honorable mention , ( there is no way i can get 2nd or 1st ) I have never had my writing judged by real judges before so i am kinda dying. But I think my storey is good.       Anyway, here is the link to the monday minute challenge, you guys should enter! Okay, so they give you things you have to incorporate in your story, you can use one, or all of them, but you have to have at least one in your story. I only used one, a mirror. My submission is 225 words Revealing Reflection        In its reflection, I saw myself as I really was. I remembered as I looked at my myself now, how I used to feel when I looked into a mirror, I was always left dissatisfied, and hurt. “I wasn’t pretty enough, I had too many freckl

Summer Changes.

Summer seems to be drifting away. These past months have seemed strangely empty. I say strangely because I have been doing many things!          I went on the most amazing week long Catholic retreat. The talks were so inspirational and helped me with so many things. We had a day of silence, and though I confess that I was not always silent the times that were quiet really moved me. I was not looking forward to the silence as I find it hard to not talk xD. But I really think some of my best memories were from that silently wonderful day. (We had an hour of adoration in the chapel at 11 pm <3)           I also assisted with a kids program at church and that was really fun, attended a dance and experienced our first staycation. As well as that, in the beginning of summer, there was play practice. But once the first retreat ended not much happened. Only lots of book reading and Tutus Tuus. Of course, it has been a wonderful summer despite the lack of crazy activity. Being with m
