more thoughts from my facebook page
I try to link or post something on facebook a few times a week and if you come to the homepage here {those reading via their e-mail}, you can see what was recently posted on my facebook page on the sidebar! But for those who may not do that often, here are a few thoughts and links from the recent days: ~~I shared a post from Time-Warp-Wife : –an excellent post about staying involved in his life! {and how sometimes, WE just need to make the first move!} . ~~a status update from Monday: **** note to self: never assume that just because...
read morefrom the days… that run together
Some times days just run together so that weeks become months before you even realize it. Birthdays come and go. Songs are sung. School activities get attended. Church services are sat through. Laundry is washed. Dishes are cleaned. Floors are vacuumed. And yet, I get up and look around and think: “What in the world have I accomplished?” . Only one life will soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last. . Some times this truth is a conviction. What AM I doing for Christ? And other times it is such a comfort…....
read moreyellow lovelies…and where to find me today
Today I am talking about promises. God has many promises for believers in His word: ** He will supply our need. ** ** His grace IS sufficient. ** And as marvelous as these are, they are only a few of the promises found in His Word! But I think one of my favorite {outside of eternal life} is found in… you can read the rest over on Living on...
read morethere is a man who loves me
I strayed… He called out. I left… and He pursued. I stole… and He forgave. I lashed out… and He embraced. I trembled, knowing my nakedness… and He draped a Royal Robe. Now I love Him… because He first loved me. {this is the Love Story of Calvary} and it can belong to ANYONE! Have a Blessed Valentine’s day, and be sure to let those you love know...
read moresharing Jesus
As I was browsing my church-sermon-journal I came across this little note… I also do not really remember what the message was about that prompted me to write this, but every time I read over it, it strikes me again. I am not to “share my faith.” I am to LIVE my faith… … … …and SHARE JESUS… I have often heard that we must “share our faith” with others. And I wondered exactly what that meant. Am I to tell people what God has done for me? Of course! But that is not my faith, that is...
read moreanother item
Of course, I do not plan to blog about every item I post in my shop; but this one turned out so incredibly cute that I just had to share a little more info about it! The original item was a size L girls t-shirt. It was a bit wide for my own girl… though the length was good. And, seriously, my children have more clothing than they could ever need! I also had a bit of pink knit from a different project-another t-shirt. I used a shirt from my son’s drawer {haha} to recut the top for a 24 month fit. And I reused the binding from the...
read morethe 5 minute exercise for couples
You can read about this exercise at The Happy Wives Club. Our printer is having issues, so I did not print this… nor did I have time to write it out. But I did send it to him so he could read it. There is always more that I think after I’ve written my love a note like this… but since it wasn’t actually the last 5 minutes we would ever be together, I have said “I love you” several times since then. And I try make an effort to let him know something I appreciate about him every day! This is a great...
read morecomfort in FOLLOWING…
This beautiful song, over a century old, still proclaims such truth! The melody is soothing, and I enjoyed hearing our song leader sing this as the special music last night! When God is leading… then I am following. The comfort that a child has knowing that the parent will do them no harm is the same comfort I can have when truly following God’s leading me along! I found a beautifully sung version on youtube to share… God Leads Us Along 1 In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet. God leads His dear children...
read morefirst item
has its first item! I am still trying to decide about listing items in an etsy shop for simpler shopping… but there is a small fee to list items. I am still trying to learn about having a “shopping cart” here… So for now, I will ask anyone interested in an item I show to contact me, and I will list it in my etsy shop {empty right now} for your ease of purchase and my ease of selling. As for this one item I have for sale right now, this is one of my absolute favorite things to do! And I plan to have a few show up for...
read morespeaking to myself
…but be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord… Ephesians 5:18 & 19 Two weeks ago, while singing along with the congregational music in church, the Lord hit me with an idea. {Don’t worry, it did not hurt. } I usually try to pay attention to the words we are singing, even when it is the most familiar of hymns. I have never really stopped to think of just how many songs my brain has filed away from singing them for so many...
