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."

"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.
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.
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.
Thank-ful

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.
