Transformed...

We are all a work in progress!

Just going to share some one liners here in this post!

I have always loved words and their meanings!

I think I could write a book of just one liners...

I do enjoy journaling and I always use the last few pages of each 

Journal for one liners that jump out at me from a book or devotional!

Even movies and songs!

Maybe even something I read from a blog!

Many our from a message I heard in the past.

God's timing is always right-

So wait patiently for Him

Beware- the more you look at temptation the better it looks.

The storms of your life will reveal the strength and

source of your faith!

God gives to you so that you may give to others!

In life and in death, My only hope is in

"Jesus Christ"

Repentance means hating sin enough to turn from it.

The soul would have no rainbows-

If the eyes had no tears.

The best reason for Hope is God's faithfulness!

No tragedy is outside of God's sovereignty...

Only the one who has learned to serve is qualified to lead!

A spark of encouragement can rekindle warmth in the heart.

If you shirk today's tasks,

You will increase tomorrow's burdens.

You can gain knowledge on your own.

But wisdom comes from God!

We can accomplish more together than we can alone.

Marriages may be made in heaven;

But they have to be worked out on earth.

The cost of obedience is nothing;

Compared with the cost of disobedience!

A big part of loving is listening!

The world rewards success

God rewards faithfulness!

There are no obstacles, only challenges

It's risky to go out on a limb-

But that's where the fruit is.

Brooding over the past paralyzes the present,

And bankrupts the future.

My dear friend Kelly passed away!

She is now healed!

I miss her already...

Thank you for your prayers for her and her family!

I appreciate each and everyone of you that stop in and read my humble writings!

Living From Glory To Glory

Life Is Precious...

 

 Life is Precious...

My sweet Hubby was doing some trimming on one of our many

trees and he found this nest with two eggs in it!

I said wait stay up there I want to get my camera!

The Momma bird was making a huge fuss;

Get away from my babies, she was tweeting!

I just wanted to share a few quick thoughts here with you ladies;

I am so happy that all nine of my grandchildren will be here

on our Estate this coming week.

It will be the first time in a whole long three years!

My dear friend kelly is still fighting to hold on to life!

The brain tumor is trying to steal her life!

She is a fighter and she totally trusts Jesus!!

Went to a funeral today and had a reality check...

Life is so very precious!

Have you all notice how fast Sunday comes around again each week?

Not sure why the days and weeks just seem to fly by...

Be careful where you invest your time!

Be careful who put first!

Be watchful!!

We are having a Stayvacation this summer!

Last year we went to the West Coast!

It was lovely and very refreshing...

Please may I remind you all to stay humble

Stay strong...

Keep focused on the prize!

Never give up!

Rest only In Christ...

May our goals have eternal implications;

Heavenly minded...

May Christ be formed in you!

Respect your Husband!

Love the brethren...

"For LOVE covers a multitude of sin"

A Little Faith Goes A Long Way...

~A Little Faith Goes A Long Way~

A cool breeze blowing in the late afternoon, what a sweet little thing!

Flowers blooming everywhere...

"I have been practicing the fine art of being appreciative"

I can feel my heart beating!
I can smell the sweet smelling aroma of flowers in my yard!
The birds are singing such a sweet lullaby tonight.

When you are so very tired;
Lie down and lean into Jesus!
Being tired allows you to totally depend on Him!

We do not always have to take the easy way;
But we sure can stop and rest for a while.

When you learn to look for beauty;
"You will find it"

Anyone who prays for the ability to see beauty;
Will never be denied and will never grow old!

Take your faith and create;
Take time and spend it with seeing with the eyes of an appreciative person!

How you spend your days

Matters more than how much money you make!

What you do matters!

Youth Dew And Staying Young At Heart...

Youth is something that seems to be fleeting as I age...

How can we age gracefully?

I have a friend that we have always said that when we get old,

"We will not be old and crotchety"

Cranky and rude;

Is there truly any excuse for just plain old meanness?

If we are Christians, Christ should be-

Formed in us, daily!

Living from glory to glory!

There is nothing more beautiful than seeing an older person,

Smiling and being kind and showing grace in her words and actions.

Do you make a practice of being critical and mouthy?

Or are you using your words to build up and edify?

When I see things while out in about in the market place that disturbs me;

I try to pray and not show signs of my un-approval of them!

It is not them but their way of acting or living...

Pain and sorry and loose morals are everywhere!

Being critical and hard makes one look older

Being self righteous will make you alone

Being unkind makes you bitter!

Show Grace and Kindness...

It will make your face glow

Smile, You will look younger!

Love

~You may not have tomorrow~

Two Is Company...

Two Is Company...

Being all by yourself, is not something that

is good to be all the time!

Having a Husband is a gift; Ask any widower what is is like to

Have lost their mate!

Being a good friend is so important!

Having a good friend is a treasure!

If God has given you a mate, consider it a gift!

Being alone is very unhealthy...

You become very self absorbed and may feel depressed.

But, we must also be able to be alone;

Walking alone for health benefits

Your quiet time with the Lord and being in His Word!

If the Lord should call your mate home and you are widowed!

Being alone is not a disease.

But even God said it is not good for man to be alone:

So He gave him a Helpmate.

Many of you may have many sibling's
Many of you may have come from a large family
Many of you may have a ton of friends.

But; Many ladies have their children all grown and moved away!
Your Siblings may live far away!
Your Friends are moving away to be closer to their grown children!
Many are downsizing for practical reasons!

So having a network of a few friends that can be trusted is a gift!

So, you may need to jump start a few friendships in this season

Sometimes, or maybe all the time you will have to be the 

One who reaches out!

Do it!!!

Make The phone call
Write that letter
Plan a get together
Do something pro-active...

May your Husband be your dearest and closes friend!
But, Keep a few girlfriends close to your heart!

Being A Cheerleader For Your Own Husband...

Being A Cheerleader For The Home Team

I wanted to share something that I believe was a teaching tool for me!

When I look at my husband and how hard he works!

At Home and at his job!

I had this thought of how I could cheer him on in his life!

( Now, for the record, I do not have a good visual picture of a cheerleader in my head)

Scantly dressed and kicking her heels up, Ra Ra and all that!

But, rather a voice behind him saying things like!

Wow, you did a great job honey

I can't believe you got that all done, you work so diligently

You're so smart to be able to figure that out!

Oh your such a good provider!

(He provides you with protection and security)
And I do not mean he makes a ton of money,
But rather someone who cares about you!

I will give you a little something to think about;

If you are not willing to be your husbands cheerleader;
I can guarantee there is a woman who will be!!

Having someone to notice what you have done is universal.

Look, I can't fix all your problems,
But I can give you some advice as how doing it yourself
in a way that brings him closer to YOU!

There are two teams:
The Home Team
&
The Worlds Team

You want your Husband to get all his Rah- Rah's from HOME!

Firstly, he picked you to be on his Team
(He married YOU)

So be a good Team Cheerleader!

------  ----- He's my man,

Your Man, needs You in his court!
Fight and cheer for him!

So, get your pom- pom's out and start cheering him on!!

(You can buy yourself a set of these at the Dollar Tree)

Were you ever a cheerleader?
Do you want your husband watching cheerleader at sports events?
Get my point?

A Love For Lemons...

A Sweet Smelling Fragrance

I have been enjoying the scent of lemons lately!

I find it such an invigorating smell!

We all need at times someone or something to spark are living!

I want to reach out and send an exhortation to you all!

The only way you are going to have the marriage you want is to

~ Work on it, one day and situation at a time ~

Becoming a Godly woman is accomplished only

Through being teachable and humble

One day at a time!

How can I leave a sweet smelling aroma when I leave a room?

By speaking words of love and life in a tone of voice

That gives them hope and points them in the right direction!

We must all want to be as kind and joyous as we can!

No one likes a sourpuss!

But we love the fresh sweet smell of lemons!

Look, we will all go through trials.

 But when we;

Become a place of refuge and strength for those who are weary!

That is what a Godly Home offerer's!

Make God and His Word the center of your life...

When we walk with God, we leave behind a

Sweet fragrance that can inspire others to follow.

Make some fresh squeezed lemonade

Make a cold lemon pie

Make a lemon pudding cake

Buy some lemon scented lotion

Buy some lemons to add to your drinking water

But some lemons in a bowl on your counter

Be inspired and inspire others!
