A Bus Ride

2011-09-03T08:35:00.001-04:00

I babysit two of our grandchildren every Thursday and I like to do different things with them so they can have fun. This past Thursday I decided to take the on a bus ride around our city. I have never been on a bus around town before,I never had any reason to ride the bus. It was so interesting to see all the different people who got on the bus. I was wandering what their story was. This bus ride humbled me,and my heart went out to the people who don't have a choice between riding the bus or driving their car.

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.

There are so many times when I'm in the mood to read a domestic magazine but while I'm doing so I'm thinking that I should be reading my Bible or at least a devotional. I just found this magazine the other day and was so excited. It has some great articles that are Christian based and they have guest writers and some amazing testimonies, they also have recipes and decorating ideas. There is a calendar to help you read the Bible in a year.I just wanted to share this with everyone because I think that you may enjoy it as much as I did.

I just love going to Arizona to visit Clif and Charlotte, they have such amazing hospitality one can sure get spoiled there. I'm so glad I'm a part of this wonderful family, thank-you Clif and Charlotte for opening up your home to us.

Pearls for the Soul

By Richard Alan Naggar

When we long for life without difficulties,

remind us that oaks grow

strong in contrary winds,

and diamonds are made under pressure

~~~~~

Good timber does not grow with ease.

The stronger the wind, the stronger

the tree.

~~~~~

Isaiah 41:10

¹⁰ So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Time To Grow

2011-06-25T14:45:00.001-04:00

When our first grandson was a toddler one of his favorite places to eat was McDonald's, I didn't think he would every grow out of McDonald's. He is now 7 and his favorite place to eat is In and Out. He has matured enough to know that In and Out has a much better hamburger and is more filling, and satisfying than McDonald's. McDonald's was good and had it's purpose but time changes things. I feel like the church we go to is like a McDonald's and we need to mature into a In and Out. we need to grow and were not growing because nobody likes McDonald's anymore, they want In and Out.

Our church is having a meeting tomorrow the second one of two,please pray for this meeting and our church. We are loosing good families and are not getting any new families, our church has stopped growing. I apologize for the analogy of a hamburger place compared to our church but as serious as this matter is I thought it was the best way I could explain. Thank-you for your prayers for our church.

Please stop by Spiritual Sunday and read some amazing post, I promise you they all don't talk about McDonald's and In and Outs.

We do not understand:

Joy..until we face sorrow

Faith..until it is tested

Peace..until faced with conflict

Trust..until we are betrayed

Love..until it is lost

Hope..until confronted with doubts

Mentors

2011-05-01T09:16:00.000-04:00

April 30,2011

I had wrote out a post yesterday but decided that it was not what I wanted to blog about,have you ever changed your mine like that? This post is on my heart today so I hope that you don't mind me telling you a little story. Yesterday my husband and I went to a memorial for a could that past away at out church. Bernie,the wife past away April 15 of last year,the husband Joe, past away April 10,of this year.Bernie was 85 and Joe was 88,they were married for 65 years. They didn't have a memorial for Bernie last year because Joe just had surgery and was recovering. Joe never did recover and went to be with the Lord a year later. This couple was such a mentor to my husband and I,they will be missed enormously. Bernie had host many tea party's in her time and I was blessed to be able to host one with her, I will always cherish that day. For the last 5 years of Bernie's life was confined in a wheel chair because of a stroke, Joe was a devoted husband and took care of her. Joe had broke his hip and had to go be in a rehabilitation hospital,when he was there he had no one to take care of Bernie so he paid for her to have a room at that same rehabilitation center.Bernie had to be on the other side of the center since she was not a patient. She would visit him daily driving down the halls in her wheel chair. It was while she was there that she had another stoke that took her life. Joe was more than ready
to be with his Lord and his wife,they will both be missed. I wanted to plant a rose bush in memory of Bernie, I came across one with the name Elegant Lady, that's the one,that's the rose bush I will plant at our church in memory of this elegant women. She was known for always having just the right jewelry on to match what outfit she had on. After she had past away Joe ask me if I wanted some of her costume jewelry, her jewelry box was as tall as my dresser. Joe laughed and said he never really realized how much money she spent on jewelry or how many cloths she had.

Dear Lord thank-you for bring this couple into my life, Bernie was a Proverbs women for sure and has taught me many things,and Joe who was a carpenter has fixed a thing or two at our home not to mention hundred's of things at church and at many homes of the people in our church. I will miss them both until the day comes when we meet again.
It's in your name Lord Amen

Before There was SUNDAY There was FRIDAY

I was not there, but I can feel the chills in my body, I can feel the earth move, I can here the rumble in the sky. The pain that the Lord went through for you and me.

Jesus had told his disciples and friends that he would rise after 3 days, they wanted to believe him because they loved him. Three days after Jesus was crucified he indeed raised from the dead.

Heavenly father,

My words alone can not express my love for you ,my words alone will never be able to thank-you enough.

I pray that my heart and actions show how grateful I am for you and how much I love you,Thank-you Lord for dieing for me so that I can live with you in eternity.

Amen

This would be a perfect weekend to visit Spiritual Sunday

You will be so glad that you did.

Nothing to Fear

Psalms 34:4-5

I sought the Lord, and he answered me,

he delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to him are radiant,

their faces are never covered with shame.

God walks with us. He scoops us up in His arms or simply sits

with us in silent strength until we cannot avoid the awesome

recognitions that yes, even now, He is here.

By Gloria Gather

There are so many rumors going around at my work these days.

Our contracts up, my location my close the doors, our pay may get cut.

It is hard to avoid these rumors, it's hard to trust my company, but it's not

hard to trust in the Lord. In my heart I feel that why should I be exempt from a cut pay.

Men and women who work to protect our city have had a huge cut in pay, I can live

with a cut in pay. What bothers me is I see how much of a profit my company makes,

the only word that comes to my mind is greed!

Proverbs 28:25

He who is of a greedy spirit stirs up strife, but he who puts his trust in the Lord shall be enriched and blessed

About 15 years ago we planted over 50 shrubs and a handful of trees. I had a vision,all I wanted to see out our windows were living walls. This was not very easy over the years, with different kinds of weather,and water shortages it was a challenge but now when we look out of every one of our windows all we see is green and all we here are birds, we feel like were somewhere else and not in a neighborhood.I new that I could not just plant all of these shrubs and trees without watering them,or feeding them,because I new they had a purpose a pretty big one at that. I didn't want to risk loosing any of them.I needed to nurture them in order for them to grow just the right way. This is how our Christianity is, we can't just be baptized and think that over night we will be a mature Christian, it can take years~and years of becoming a mature Christian . We need to nurture our souls, we need to water ,and feed our Christianity.We need to have faith and trust in the Lord.

Acts 14:22

I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did .I ask my husband if I should share this song, he said he had no comment so I'm thinking he thought maybe it wasn't one of the better Christian songs that I have played, but it may put a smile on your face and it may make you realize that this is just the small stuff.

Hello Friends,

I received a gift from a lady at church, it's a little book called Whispers of Faith. There are so many wonder little quotes and scriptures that I have been sharing them with you from time to time, here is another one from this little book of encouragement.

Pray Now

It is not a question of praying and asking God to help you,

it is the grace of God now.

We tend to make prayer the preparation for our service

yet it is never that in the Bible.

Prayer is the practice of drawing on the grace of God...Pray now,

draw on the grace of God in your moment of need.

By Oswald Chamber

Please take visit Spiritual Sunday this weekend you may never now

Direction

I find the great thing in this world

is not so much where we stand, as

in what direction we are moving.

To reach the port of heaven, we

must sail sometimes with the wind

and sometimes against it, but we

must sail, and not drift nor lie at

anchor.

Hello friends, It amazes me how fast time goes by. February was my anniversary, it has been four years that I have been blogging and I'm so thank-ful for all of my blogging friends that have come into my life, you have all touched my heart. My blog first started as a domestic blog and as time went on my heart Begin to be heavy and empty. I knew that there was something out there that I needed,that something was all of you my friends. Spiritual Sundays has touched my heart and has brought a new meaning to blogging for me. All of you often pop up in my mind during the week and my prayers are always with those who ask,and even for some who don't ask.

challenge of events,the unfailing

childlike appetite for what-next,

and the joy of the game of living.

Here is the poem that I wanted to post last week,I hope you enjoy it. This is a poem by a man name Mike Bullock.

Resolution

I've made a resolution

I think you'll be impressed
I'm going to take a step of faith
And slowly get undressed
Removing things that I've accrued
The baggage I've amassed
The trappings gained from sources wide
The weight of which is vast.
Underneath this bulging mass
There lies a simple soul
Simple walk, a simple faith
That's always been my goal
I've tried to do it many ways
The do's and don'ts are rife
But I am who I am, you see
An individual life.
So back to basics I will go
And get to know my Dad
A personal relationship
Is ready to be had
I've messed around these many years
And dropped out of the race
A simple walk, a simple faith
I need to seek His face.

Being Humble

Sometimes I wonder if I'm as humble as I would like to think I am, or more important am I as humble as the Lord would like me to be.

1 Peter 5:5
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”

Matthew 23:12
12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

James 4:6
6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.

Lunch Hours

I am very blessed to be able to go home for lunch, I live maybe 1 mile from work. So of course I go home for lunch, my lunch hour normally goes something like this. Empty dish washer, make lunch, check email, pay bills. It's anything but relaxing. I have decided to start taking my lunch to work and sit in my car and read the Bible. My work is on a hill and you can see miles and miles on a clear day it is the most beautiful view. Something about reading my Bible while looking out at our Lords creations is so fulfilling for me and helps reduce my stress level. How do you spend your lunch hour? Is this the time you like to read your Bible?

Faith

Over the past two weeks I have not truly been myself. I ask for prayers and I want to thank-you. Our home was broken into a couple of weeks ago and it seems like each day I find something else they took. Someone ask me if it makes me question my faith. I was shocked, as this never even entered my mind. No matter what happens to me it will never affect my faith.

John 10:10

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

I just wanted to let you know that I will be working this weekend Saturday and Sunday. My husband will be home reading Spiritual Sundays although he does not comment on them he does enjoy reading them. I will try hard to visit everyone.

This has been a long week for me. I was so undecided on what to post about this weekend. My mind has been across the board with different emotions. This could be one reason why I have posted later than normal. I just thought that I would share this verse that has been on my heart this week.

My Husband and I took the Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University class that our church offered. We loved this class and enjoy Dave Ramsey's teaching technique's very much he is a funny man. I don't think we have ever laugh so hard in a church class room as we have watching these videos. Although this class is not meant to be funny it's just kinda nice to be able to laugh even though the topic is so serious. If you have been thinking about taking this class I would recommend it,my husband and I both have enjoyed it.

Be Thankful

Author Unknown

Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful for the difficult times, during those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations, because they give you opportunities for improvement.
Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes,because they will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you're tired and weary, because it means you've made a difference.
It's easy to be thankful for the good things. A life a rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can become your blessings.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

I hope that each and everyone one of you have a Happy Thanksgiving, that you may spend your day with loved ones and share a wonderful meal together.

I am joining in on Simple Pleasures today, every Thursday this nice lady takes the time to do this meme. It is one that I love but not always able to join in. So please click HERE and join in on the fun.

I just love the simple pleasure that I get when I am in my home.One of my favorite things that I love about our home and brings me simple pleasures is that I can look out any window in any room of our home and see nothing but green. We planted shrubs all around our property years ago and we know enjoy our hard work. It puts a smile on my face every time I look out one of my windows. We enjoy it so much that we decided not to put up window coverings.
This is truly a simple pleasure for me.

Matthew
16 “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 17 But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18 so that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

I have a poll on the top of my blog, I would like to know how many people have fasted. I have turned my comments off just for today so that people don't feel obligated to say on way or other on their comments. If you need to contact me for prayers or any other reason please email me. My comments will be up again next week. loveourcottage@sbcglobal.net

I missed everyone last weekend, we had company for the weekend. Thank-you for understanding. Thank-you for your prayers for my mother in-law also.

Please stop by Spiritual Sunday and share your love for the Lord and to read other peoples beautiful post.

A Path of Life

Thus God's bright sunshine overhead,

God's flowers beside your feet,

The path of life that you must tread

Can little hold of fear or dread,

And by such pleasant' pathways led,

May all your life be sweet.

Life Style's

Over the last year or so I have been trying not to shop as much. I have been trying to just buy the needs of our home not the wants. This is not easy for me and it is something that I have to pray about all the time. As I sit and drink my coffee and ponder over the last year and how the Lord has worked in my life is amazing. I can't remember the last time I went shopping, I can't even remember the last time I had the desire to go shopping. It has taken me a long time to realize that there is a bigger picture. In my heart I don't feel that it's right to pray about finances and ask to be guided in that area and then go and spend fifty dollars a month on getting my nails done, I needed my action to be towards my daily prayers and the Lord has blessed me by doing so. The other day my husband broke our lamp(by mistake)and I thought to myself OH~~~~I get to go buy a new lamp because this one broke, needless to say I was kinda excited about shopping for a lamp because after all it was a need. Well the Lord reminded me of my prayers and after a week of looking at the lamp I went to the drawer and got out the super glue and long and behold our lamp is as good as new.

Dear Lord, I want to thank you with all of my heart for guiding me in this new life style, I love it. I pray that maybe someone else will have this same prayer Lord and that you can guide them Lord in making changes in their life,it just takes small changes and then it becomes so big Lord. Lord I want to thank-you for our new roof that we put on our home, if my life style had not change we would not of be able to get our new roof.

Thank-you with all my heart

Amen

A Rainbow

2010-10-02T09:38:00.001-04:00

Picture by Kansas Poetry(Patrick)from Flicker

On Thursday there was the most amazing double rainbow in the sky. It was probable one of the top 5 most beautiful things that I have seen. On one side of the sky where the rainbow was it had this amazing glow it was so strong even the inside of our home had a glow to it ,and on the other side of the sky it was so blue it looked like a blue marker had just colored half the sky. It was hot and then it started to rain. Then on Friday, the Lord shared another beautiful rainbow with us.

Genesis 9:13-16

12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."

A Book To Read
September 25,2010

I read Sarah's book In The Eye of Deception . This book touched my heart. After reading this book I think differently about the people I see on the streets, or anywhere for that matter. I think about their story, is their story like Sarah's. Working in the public it is hard sometimes not to judge,I have been guilty of this in the past. We don't know their situations, we don't know what they have been through or what they are going through now. Sarah was blessed because the Lord was there for her when she just could not go anymore. Other people may not be as blessed as Sarah, they just may be getting deeper and deeper into a dark world.
They need our prayers to lift them up to the Lord. God bless you Sarah and may the Lord continue to be with you. You can click on the picture to read more about Sarah's book.

Matthew 7
1"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Psalm 46:10

10 "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

My life has been so busy, I'm not real sure why or what has changed. Sometimes I stay home from church just so I can get things done that I don't have time for during the week.I'm not proud to say this to everyone, but this does happen to me more than it should. I may as well tell the Lord, I'm sorry but I'm to busy today to go worship you.
I need to slow down, I need to make my days less busy, I need to be still and know that God is there.

Charlotte and I are so excited about all the new things with Spiritual Sunday, I love each and everyone of you. During my days at work I often think about how everyone is doing.I'm so glad the Lord has put each of you in my life, thank-you.

A Happy Heart

August 14,2010

I came across this story and I enjoyed it, I hope that you do too.

The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.

Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready. As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.

"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

"Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room .... just wait."

"That doesn't have anything to do with it," she replied.

"Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ... it's how I arrange my mind.

I already decided to love it ... It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away ... just for this time in my life."

Psalm 118:24
"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Proverbs 15:13
A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.

Proverbs 15:15
All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual feast.

Aging THIS IS NOT ME

Deuteronomy 5:33

33 Walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.

Exodus 20:12
12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.

1 Kings 3:14

14 And if you walk in my ways and obey my statutes and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life."

I have noticed that I have been getting grey hair, it seems to just come in over night. Each day I see yet another streak of grey. I don't think of myself as vain, nor do I like spending money on my hair. Although I do care about my appearance I think of myself as very frugal and the price of getting my hair done or even the time to do it myself is just not worth it to me. I told my husband that I refuse to let society make me feel like I have to die my hair.

A lady at my church told me this, It's not about going grey it's about having the confidence to do so.

As I read scriptures on aging I think of it as a blessing to even be able to live long enough to have grey hair.

Lord thank-you for all the days of my life and for all the days ahead of me Lord. Thank-you for making me a woman who puts you first. Lord I want to thank-you for the two beautiful grey haired women in my life Lord that's Charlotte and my mother in law, they put you first Lord and their beauty comes with in. Thank-you for letting them be mentors to me.

It is my favorite time of week and that is being able to visit everyone on Spiritual Sunday. You can visit them also just click HERE and you can read them all.

Being A Proverbs Woman

Picture from google images

Titus 2:5
5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

Proverbs 31:17

17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.

I have always enjoyed being domestic and enjoyed making a home for my family.

One of my prayers are that my husband and I can grow old in our home, that I can be domestic and take care of my husband the way the Lord would want me to as I grow old. I do need to add that I am so blessed to have a husband who helps with everything, although I do enjoy being domestic working full time tends to make me a bit behind on things, that's where my wonderful husband comes along.

Another prayer of mine is that our granddaughter will have the desire to love the Lord and to be a proverbs women as well. I pray that I can set examples for her, as I'm the only woman in her life that lives for the Lord.

Last week I posted a song by the West Ladies, well as the week went I looked at their web page. They have different domestic DVDs for sale for example how to make bread, sew, make soap, candles. I bought one on how to make things with different herbs from the garden. I received this video already and it truly put a smile on my face. My husband even enjoyed watching and learning all the different things to make. Here is the link just in case you are interested, Blessings.

I would love for you to stop by Spiritual Sunday to read some wonderful post this weekend.

Reflections
July 17,2010

The morning time is by far my favorite time of day. I love having that hour before work to enjoy a conversation and coffee with my best friend, my husband. Every morning at the same time I pour my coffee and get my cream out of the refrigerator. One morning this past week I saw a reflection of our lace curtains on our refrigerator. I have never noticed this before so it took me by surprise, the reflection was beautiful. It made me think about what kind of reflection do I have as a person, is it beautiful, is it Christ like? Do people know I have Jesus in my life or are they taken by surprise when they find out? I want to have the reflection of the Lord when people see me, I want my light to shine.

Matthew 5:14-16

14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

The Gate is Narrow
June 18, 2010

This past week we had a couple of estimates on a new roof, we still need to get one more estimate. It is always so hard for me to choose just one person out of the three because they all seem so nice, and I'm sure with the economy they would all like to have the job. I wish I could hire them all, but It's a one man job.

We all want to go to Heaven but like the scripture says in Matthew 7:13 the gate is narrow. This scripture scares me so! Will my family and I be chosen to go to Heaven. The Lord wants us all but we know that it's not going to be that way . We all try to do the best job that we can but is our job good enough? Are our credentials good enough? Is just believing good enough?

I want to wish my husband a happy fathers day and thank-you so much for being such wonderful papa for our grandchildren, I love growing old with you.

Calming My Nerves

June 12, 2010

I feel that the Lord has blessed me in a powerful way by being able to have a job. I have had the same job for over 31 years. Times are changing, the job is changing, the people are changing, there are lots of changes and I'm sure that I'm changing too. Sometimes I feel like it's a little more than I can handle and my nerves take a beating. I have never prayed so hard about my job over the past year, it is the ONLY thing that gets me by. The only thing that I can think of that's not changing and will not change and that's the book the Lord provided for us the BIBLE. A firm foundation for our lives that will never change, it brings peace to me knowing this. Psalms 23 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. It truly calms my nerves.

The Beauty In Front of Our Eyes

May 29,2010

I drive down this street almost everyday, I'm always amazed at the beauty of all the mountains around where we live. As I was driving I looked to the side at the perfect time and saw this breath taking church with this beautiful mountain in the background. Everyday I look to see what special view God is going to let me see. I always thank the Lord for all of his beauty and then on this one special day he let me see this. Of course I didn't have my camera on this day, but I took this picture at 6:30 this morning.

My heart goes out to all the families that have lost loved ones serving our Country, I pray that the Lord will give you comfort always.

Being Content

I have a goal for this next year, well OK maybe it's more of a dream! My husband has enough time in his work that he could retire,but in reality he is not really ready to stay home 7 days a week. My dream is for both of us to work only 4 days a week instead of 5. In doing so we would have a tremendous cut in pay. So I think to myself what could I do without to achieve this dream. Would I be able to pay my bills, buy food, gas. I would have to take the meaning of content to a whole new level.

Philippians 4:11-13
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Reading The Bible

April 10,2010

John 5:39
39 You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me.

One of the things I need to work on the most is reading my Bible everyday. One of my favorite things to do is get a blanket and lay on our grass under two big shade trees. Although it's impossible to do this daily it is a nice treat when it does happen, it is so relaxing listening to the birds. It is starting to warm up so I hope to be able to do this more often, on the days I work I will be happy sitting on my favorite chair while reading the Bible. Do you have a place where you like to read your Bible? For more Spiritual Sundays please visit HERE

Another New Look
April 2, 2010

Okay I tried to have a new blog look for a couple of weeks, but it was so busy even I got tired of looking at it. I thought to myself if I don't like looking at my own blog then no one else will like it either. So I came up with something a little bit more soothing. I think this one will stay awhile.
Have you ever noticed that we tend to loose contact with bloggers. I know for me I don't blog at all like I use to and I miss everyone that I would visit daily. Life sometimes changes things just by default. How about you do you get to visit all the bloggers as much as you would like?

Do Not Worry

March 27, 2010

1 Peter 5:7

7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

A dear friend of mine and her husband are in such need financial peace. Her husband has is own business and it's so slow for him, what jobs he has had they still need to pay him for. They are behind in their house payment 3 months, my heart hurts for them. They both have the Lord in their life's and know that the situation is in his hands. This is heavy on my heart this week and wanted to ask for special prayers for this couple, thank-you.

Romantic Homes
March 24, 2010

Today I was so surprised as I was looking through a Romantic Homes magazine. One of my favorite blogs had her home are in it. Here is her blog Velvet and Linen If you have never seen her home now would be a good time to visit because she is sharing the pitchers in the magazine. My two favorite rooms are the kitchen and bedroom. Her kitchen has glass on the front cabinets but also in the back so you can see out side from the cabinets. Her bedroom looks like it's a tree house because it's upstairs and all you see is a beautiful tree. I hope you enjoy visiting her.

A Living Faith

March 20, 2010

If we desire to praise God more, we must ask for grace that our Private devotions may rise
to a higher standard. A living faith is not something you have to carry but something that
carries you.

A New Look

I Have the day off today so this morning I was kinda in the mood to make a new background. My husband is working today and I don't have any of the grandchildren so I thought I would play with a new look for my blog. I have been known to change my blog often. I'm always kinda simple not to much color maybe some pink or some blue, but today I'm in the mood for some happy spring colors! I'm not to sure how long I will keep this look but for now I like it. I'm on my way to work in the yard after this post, I just love this time of year, not to hot, not to cold but just right. I always think of heaven when the temperature is perfect. I hope you have a beautiful day.

Life~~Heaven
February 27,2010
The past couple of weeks my heart has been heavy. More than ever I have been thinking of so many different things, Love, Family, Dying, Aging, and Heaven. I had a picture on my blog of Hope a 14 year old girl who had a brain tumor. I would go to her and her moms blog to read the updates so I can pray with more depth. For the longest time there were no updates, I feared the worse. Hope went to be with the Lord on February 10, 2010. I don't know why but I made the decision not to blog about it when I found out, but as time goes on my heart gets heavier. I cannot imagine enduring such pain,it would only be by the grace of God. We are all here for such a short~~short time. Our family, our friends our homes are all just temporary. I pray so hard everyday that my loved ones and myself will reunite in heaven.

Revelation 21:4

4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

George Muller

George Muller (1805-1898) is famous for establishing orphanages in
England and for joyfully depending on God for all his needs. How did he
kindle this joy and faith? In 1841 he made a life-changing discovery

“The joy which answers to prayer give, cannot be described; and the
impetus which they afford to the spiritual life is exceedingly great. The experience
of this happiness I desire for all my Christian readers. If you believe
indeed in the Lord Jesus for the salvation of your soul, if you walk uprightly
and do not regard iniquity in your heart, if you continue to wait patiently,
and believing upon God; then answers will surely be given to your
prayers. You may not be called upon to serve the Lord in the way the writer
does, and therefore may never have answers to prayer respecting such
things as are recorded here; but, in your various circumstances, your family,
your business, your profession, your church position, your labour for the
Lord, etc., you may have answers as distinct as any here recorded.”
- George Muller

What faith and a strong prayer life this man had. WOW, he encourage me.

Valentine Treasures

Valentine Treasures

By Joanna Fuchs

Valentine treasures are people who

have often crossed your mind,

family, friends and others, too,

who in your life have shined

the warmth of love or a spark of light

that makes you remember them;

no matter how long since you’ve actually met,

each one is a luminous gem,

who gleams and glows in your memory,

bringing special pleasures,

and that’s why this Valentine comes to you:

You’re one of those sparkling treasures!

I am so lucky that the Lords has blessed me with each and everyone of you,
so for this weekend I just needed to share my heart with all of you.

A Pretty Window
I have been thinking about adding a couple of shelf's in my kitchen window. I just love the way these look.

Do you have shelf's in your kitchen window? My first thought on this is will they be hard to clean~~~~I'm sure the answer is yes but the price we pay to have something pretty to look at.

God Created All Animals

God created all the animals (Psalm 104).

"Then God commanded, 'Let the earth produce all kinds of animal life; domestic and wild, large and small, and it was done. So God made them all, and He was pleased with what He saw." Genesis 1:24, 25

All animals belong to God (Psalm 24:1).

God cares for the animals (1 John 4:16).

This is a video that I just loved. I hope you take a moment and watch it. God is so wonderful.

January 20, 2010 Pressure Cookers

Have you ever cooked with a pressure cooker? A few years ago a lady from our church came to our home with her moms pressure cooker, mind you this woman is about 80 so this was a old pressure cooker. If only it could talk can you just imagine the wonderful stories it could tell. Anyway this woman and I canned asparagus. I enjoyed myself so much that day, and enjoyed this ladies company tremendously. Well to my surprise when she left our home she told me that this pressure cooker was mine to keep. This was such a special gift and I told myself that I would use it often. Well I hate to admit this but I have not used it, but would still like to. I'm afraid to use this by myself because of all the stories I have heard, stories about them blowing up. If anyone has any suggestions for me I would greatly appreciate them.

Ecclesiastes 4:10
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and
has no one to help him up.

I had my daughter at a very young age. I have never had the time or energy to truly have what you might call a best friend. After being married for 20 years I can truly say that my husband is there to give me his hand when I need it. Thank-you Lord for my best friend, my husband.
For more Spiritual Sundays click HERE or on the picture. Our two grandson's will be spending the night so it may take me a while to visit all of your wonderful post today, but I look forward to reading them all before the weekend is over.

Gold Canyon Candles

There is one thing that my husband and I love and that's candles. We always have them going. We love candles that have great aromas, not all candles are worth the price because they have no aroma. I found these candles a few years back and we love them! They are reasonable and they have one of the best aromas. Over the past year I have been thinking about selling these wonderful candles but hey I didn't want to rush into anything. I will be going to a meeting on Tuesday and after that I will make my decision. I just don't want to ask people to have parties, I just want to sell them from my blog, and to individuals who just want to buy candles for themselves. I hope that you will check back to find out the verdict.

Have you ever heard of Gold Canyon Candles?

Lending a Hand

Lending a Hand
From One Minute Prayers for Women

She opens her arms to the poor and extends her had to the needy.
Proverbs 31:20

To whom should I give today? Whom can I help? Let me start the day with this
question,Lord. If I am asking to be of service, then I cannot ignore the opportunities when they arise. I have looked into needy faces and kept walking. I think too much about such things. My mind asks, "How can I fix someones life?
You ask me to be a woman of charity and kindness. My actions to be a woman of charity and kindness. My action to assist another child of God
become a part of your will for that person. You are not calling me to fix her,
to make her whole. Only you can do that. My job is to lend a hand along the way.
