God's Wisdom For Little Girls by Elizabeth George. I think all of us women like Proverbs 31:10-31, this book is from those scriptures. It is so precious, each picture is so pretty, it's perfect for a little girl. I hope it will bring wonderful memories to her as she get's older as we do the things together in this book.
Dear Lord,
I pray Lord that you will be with our granddaughter each and everyday. I pray that you will touch her mom's heart Lord and give her the desire to want you. I pray that you will give my son the strength that he needs to wake up on Sundays with his daughter and go to church and maybe someday his wife will follow.
It's in your name Lord
Amen,
Ginger
We have had such a horrible drought this year hear in CA. It has been so bad that we are only allow to water our lawns on certain days of the week, they raised the rates as well and added penaltiesl. There are so many people in our neighborhood that have chosen not to water. Times are tough but it truly makes me sad to see these 23 year old trees have no water. So with that said praise God for the rain that he has blessed us with today.
Have a wonderful day,

The painting that I have posted here is from a painter by the name of Roland Lee. He paints beautiful landscapes and of course my favorite cottages, and churches. You should go to his blog Roland Lee blog and he has a web page Roland Lee's web page
I have been in the blog world since 2007, and it never seems to amaze me how many talented people we have in this big world. As you all know by now I have a passion for cottages, I think what I like most about cottages is that they are mysterious, they all seem to have ambiance and they all seem to have a story to tell. Well I came across a picture of a cottage that I just love ( the one above) and there were so many more from where that one came from. So you if you have some extra time you should visit both of his sites, I'm sure you will enjoy your visit there.
Have a wonderful day,

Luke 10:38-42
Martha and Mary offered hospitality to their friend Jesus,
a respected but somewhat controversial Jewish rabbi. Mary sat and
listened to him as he talked, but Martha objected to the fact that she was
left with all the work. Jesus told Martha not to worry about small things,
but to concentrate
on what was important.
Are you a Martha or a Mary? I don't like to admit this but I was a Martha. We would have guest over and I would be in the kitchen doing dishes even before they left. I would put house work before my family, and I would get upset if someone left a dirty dish in the sink. As I get older I realize now how wrong I was, and how much I missed out on. I made a promise to myself not to be like that with our friends now, and not worry about if our grandchildren make our house a bit messy. I have grown not to worry about the messy stuff and that it's a blouse that I wear not a super hero cape. I love the Lord and I am so thankful for all the blessings that he has given me and that includes every mess our 3 grandchildren make, and every guest we have over for dinner.
My children use to call me a drill Sargent but I was not aware of it until they had already moved out. I don't want that to be a nickname that is past down. I want my family to remember me as a woman who loved the Lord not someone who got upset because there was a dirty dish in the sink.
God Bless,
Ginger
Please visit Spiritual Sundays it is a wonderful way to have a devotional time.
I got an email this morning about a web page called All Thing Cottage. It is web page that offers different things mostly about cottage style things. They have a list of different cottage blogs there listed under cottage style. You should visit is there are blogs on there that we all know and love.
The man ask if at sometime if he could list my blog on there, but to be honest I told him that I have not really been blogging much but I thanked him anyways. Wow what an encouragement to start blogging about my little home that I call our cottage. Please visit here to view the web page and look at the blog they listed. Daisy Cottage is on there, now that's a cottage!!
Have a great day,

Good morning,
I'm not sure about you but one of my favorite things to do is to be able to find new blogs and enjoy looking at them as well as the old faithful ones. It seems like I just don't have to much time to enjoy everyone's blog. Well this morning I have taken the extra time to myself and I just loved all the blogs that I visited today, they are truly inspiring. I have forgotten just how many blogs are out there in blog land. There are a couple of my favorite's that just don't post anymore or it has been at least 6 months or so, I hope they come back soon.
Have you ever heard of swagbucks? It is a way to earn points that equal money, or gifts while searching the web. I use this instead of google, although the search results are by google. I have 41 points already and that equals $5.00 just by using this every time I need to search for something online. Try it you may like it.
Have a wonderful day,

My Spiritual Sunday post for today is going to be different than in the past. I just wanted to do a short post to share these dishes. Have you ever hear of the company called feed on the word? They make dinnerware with scriptures . Here are a few of the scriptures you can choose from.
John 1:16
And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace
John 1:17
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Psalm 84:11
For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly
Colossians 4:18
The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
Psalm 123:3
3Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
These dishes would make such a wonderful wedding gift, or any kind of gift.
Please visit more Spiritual Sunday HERE
