this...

 

powerful stuff right there...

mornin...

the heat here is nasty and the humidity is blah...

so staying inside all of the time now...

watching the flowers and birds from the windows...

ya gotta do what ya gotta do...

praying for cooler, dryer weather...

have good days...

stay cool and be blessed!

 

it's life's journey...

 

the ups, the downs...

all level out over time...

we have valleys sometimes...

it's not all mountain tops...

it's in the valleys that we learn the most...

we learn to trust God more...

we learn to slow down and take time with Him...

it's where we rest and gather strength...

so if you are feeling like you are a mess...

just remember...

the blood of Christ washes us all clean as snow...

so stomp those mud puddles and learn what you need to learn...

it all comes out in the wash...

be blessed- you are never alone...

hello...

hope you take time out of your day to just enjoy it...

make sure to talk to God before you start...

it's a great way to start the day...

have fun!

 

hope your day is good...

 

we have a little heat wave going on here...

so staying inside and not leaving the ac...

DH's birthday is today...

he is now 70...

not sure how we got here, but here we are...

been together since our 20's...

stay cool and be blessed!

morning...

 

a friend of mine lost her husband yesterday...

if you could lift her and her family up in prayers for the days to come I know she would appreciate them...

the memories we make...

when we gather in the kitchen...

the unformal part of the house...

where dreams are shared...

life's problems are solved...

encouragement passed on...

where we think we are making comfort food...

but it doesn't come from the food...

it comes from the hearts gathered there...

so open up your kitchen to others...

let them sit a spell...

stir the pot...

sift the flour...

and join in your moments...

kitchen time is the best time...

stay blessed...

 

thank you...

 

thank you, Terri, for leaving such a sweet comment...

made my day...

be blessed...

I wanted to thank you...

 I am seriously considering making this a private blog...

only for me...

like a running journal to keep track of my life and my doings...

I post daily and the stats claim there are thousands of views each month...

but no one comments anymore...

so I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who were there in the beginning...

rooting me on, praying for me, being my friend...

those things will never end and will forever live here in my blog...

someone has used my blog to create a Pinerest page, there could be more than one....

I have kept this going this long thinking maybe someone is looking for God...

and He sent them here...

I am just not sure...

but if my blog disappears...

it's been a good run and thank you...

be blessed

Happy Birthday, grandpa...

still love you...

still miss you...

36 years now since you left us...

but you are always in my heart...

right where I put you...

 

hey...

 

it's a thing being me...

have good days!

morning...

 

running late today...

we got some bad weather starting around here...

so stay safe out there...

we need the rain... 

 

 

 

good morning...

 

I know we go about our lives, planting seeds along the way...

we choose what kind of seeds we sow...

but we also need to water the seeds we and others have sown...

we also need to prune and weed our gardens as well as others...

as others tend to ours...

we need to plant seeds of love, joy and faith...

seeds of God, Heaven and things to come...

seeds of salvation and faith and love...

you wouldn't plant weeds in your own garden...

so don't plant them in someone else's...

be kind...

you will reap what you sow...

have a great day and Jesus loves you!

if...

 

praise His holy name...

 

I praise God for his mercy and grace!

I know His hand was in yesterday...

and that the evil ones were held back by mighty hands...

God bless this nation and it's people who have turned back to God...

looking for more blessings in the week to come...

rejoice in His name and keep praying...

keep praying...

 

what is happening to our country this weekend needs prayer...

we need God to keep us safe...

He is with you always...

call His name...

and He is there...

stay home, be safe...

pray...

I do believe we are about to see things happen we never thought would happen on American soil...

we need to pray...

God needs to step in and do His thing...

we need to be aware of what's going on around us...

so we can stay safe...

pay attention...

be informed...

God help us all... 

what you leave behind...

 

hello...

 

true...

 

have a good day...

 

morning...

 

blessings...

 

Doug came this morning to power wash the north side of the house...

its been cloudy here all day, but no rain...

I went to the dr yesterday for ear infections...

got meds and laying low today...

hope all is well with you...

a wonderful thought...

 

make someone's life better...

it takes little effort to be kind...

and it can make such a difference for someone who is going through some really tough times...

we all have those times...

no one is above them...

be kind, always...

 

take a chance...

 

hope your day is good...

 

we have the smoke filled skies here...

just waiting for it to leave...

got rain coming in a few days...

should clean the air out...

Craig brought home a hibicus tree...

going to plant that after the rains...

hope your days are full of love...

the bestest things about doing a blog...

in the beginning...

many of us had no clue what was going to happen when we started our blogs...

it was just something fun...

a new way to share our hopes, dreams, ideas...

but what we ended up doing was...

meeting new friends...

learning new things...

getting to know each other...

our familes...

our furbabies...

our ups...

our downs...

births...

deaths...

we learned to love each other...

care for each other...

help each other...

and the most important thing we did...

was pray for each other...

we shared God...

we lifted each other up...

we cheered each other on...

I really don't think you will ever find anything like that anywhere again online...

it was an awesome place to be  (and still is)

so if you have stopped blogging...

come back...

if you have never blogged...

give it a go...

its the most fun sandbox in the world...

and we all played nice together...

God bless and keep you...
