I loved how you prettied up the wooden chair and I agree... a little bit of cheer goes a long way! I think the Lord was dealing with both you and me along the very same thoughts on Monday... even though we can't change our circumstances, we can change our attitude about them. Many blessings and hugs to you today :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-89582995975170616242015-06-10T20:25:51.610-06:002015-06-10T20:25:51.610-06:00Such a wonderful post Rox; and so encouraging... a...Such a wonderful post Rox; and so encouraging... as well as heartwarming (I loved the Erkle quote...haha that was great). I feel refreshed already, just thinking about looking for the simple things and making a lovely space of pretties. Those simple tasks bless and refresh me in the most unexpected way. Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful post. Many W...Good morning, Roxy,<br />What a wonderful post. Many Words of wisdom. <br />I believe everything happens for a reason. We are to learn from our experiences and emerge better than we were. <br />When I first got married it was rough. We had great jobs but had more bills than money. We believed that God had put us together and had blessed our marriage... so, we prayed together every day, buckled down and did the right thing. We knew the Lord would see us through. We cancelled the cable and home phone, didn't have the internet or a cell phone, didn't go out to eat, shopped only for necessities and most of all... paid all the bills on time. It took about three years but we recovered with flying colors.<br />I can look back and see how God was teaching and molding us. We learned many things about ourselves and each other. I learned that my husband was not only a good man but a great man. He was willing to work extra hard and make sacrifices in order to take care of me. We became a great team. He's my hero and I try to show him every day how much I love him. <br />Many years have passed but I often reflect on those times. They taught me the biggest lessons in life... to live within your means, to be grateful and to believe in the Lord with all your heart.<br />Thanks for sharing.<br />Many blessings,<br />Elizabeth The Porcelain Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181032354447286034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4591712229039680133.post-69344841105272255422015-06-09T19:39:13.526-06:002015-06-09T19:39:13.526-06:00Good evening Roxy,

I am so thankful that trusting in the Lord will simplify my days IF I only can let go and give everything to Him...AND not keep taking them back!

However, I have a couple of friends that seem to have more than their share and one can't help but wonder, why?
