Just Call Me

Just Call Me!

 

How many times have you heard this as you were walking away from someone?

 

How many times have you said this to someone as you were leaving them?

 

 

Help me Lord to follow through!

 

Hello to all of my blogger friends, I have been on a lovely visit

With my daughter and her family in Florida.

It was really wonderful to see her home and her life there.

Our grandchildren are getting so big and smart.

 

My thought today is this;

We are living in different times, and most families have at

least a few of their children living in another state,

Or city, or another country.

 

Staying connected becomes a wee bit harder.

I have learned many matters of the heart with this!

God places us in our boundaries.

He places us where it is best and we will grow there,

If we will look at what He is doing!

 

Being connected is so important,

We are not called to be an island in the stream.

 

As I was on this trip, one thing was really prominent to me.

I was in many airports and restaurants and all over the place.

And it was the same thing I observed,

It was this;

Everyone was looking down!!

Gazing into cell phones, ipads and screens of many colors!

 

I heard in my spirit;

Look up for your redemption draws nigh.

 

When was the last time you put down these distractions?

And really looked into someones face.

Or really picked up the phone and had a good chat??

 

Just Call Me!

 

Blessings,

 

 



Staying On The Right Path

 

 

 

 

Trips

There are two main trips the enemy enjoys for the children of God: the guilt trip and the power trip. I call them trips because satan's plan is to take us away from the path we are on by leading us astray on detours. At times, it may be trips others are on and they try to pull us into theirs instead of us remaining on our own course. Boundaries are important when we are following the directions of the Lord. Self-condemnation leads us into a guilt trip. We take responsibility for some situations where we have no control. We keep thinking on the what if and the if only. Regrets bring sorrow and grief. Self-glorification leads into a power trip; when we are too proud of what we have done and are prideful. It's legalistic, self-righteous and glorifies self instead of God. Whether it's the bad or the good things we look at, it's a stumbling block in the midst of our path. The Lord knows how to bring us back onto the right path, His. With love and care He picks us up from the middle of the wrong road and removes us from our own ways. He leads us on a glory trip, guiding us from glory to glory! Dr. Joelle Suel

 

Let us keep our eyes and heart focused, and stay on the path Christ has; Prepared for us!  And He will guide us! With love and care.  We can know that we are not  to live in regrets and live in someone elses shadow. We are to live in His light! Blessings,



Animals Just Wanna Have Fun

 

 Just a swinging !

 

 

I can see for miles and miles !

 

I 'am telling you I see spots !


Making the time to have fun and enjoy all of God's creation!

We are given many reasons and seasons,
It is up to you to take pleasure in joy
right where you are!

We Mommas and Grandmas
And wives, need to let our hair down and have a good time.
We are not suppose to work all the time.
We must have a balance to keep our homes in order,
But also be able to make merry and laugh.

Take some time and make some memories,
Take some pictures and capture your adventures.

May the wind be always at your back!

Blessings,



Earth Is Only A Shadow

 

 

Blue skies

White sand

Emerald Water's

Palm tree's

 

 

Earth is a shadow of heaven!

Now, that is precious to me.

He has given us everything here on earth to be blessed.

 And well taken care of.

 

Enjoy and look forward to His perfect place

Awaiting us to come home to.

 

Blessings,



The Sea Shore

 

 

We so desire to sit in a quiet place with are face's

Looking into the glorious horizon.

Either if the sun is rising or setting.

 

Our feet in the wonderful sand and our toes covered with

the tiny grains of time.

 

Times of rest and refreshment.

Sunshine upon our faces.

 

Ocean breeze's blowing in our hair.

Sounds wonderful.

 

Walking through this life with those we love.

 

Building A strong marriage must be infused into

Any given day or season.

 

 

Blessings,

 



Imparting Grace

 My Mother



My Grandson said, Grandma who is that?

I said  that is my mother honey.

Then I asked him, why, who does she look like?

He said you Grandma!



My Grand Mother's

Antique coffee pot.

And salt and pepper shakers.



My Mothers little pink rose jewelry box.

 

Happy Mothers Day!

 

Mothers are a treasure to keep close to our hearts.

Memories are precious so make as many sweet ones as you can.

 

May we love and impart grace ;

To all the special women,

 God has placed in our lives.

Give them honor!

 

Mothers are world changers,

We can even be a spiritual Mother to those whom

God might place in our lives.

 

Imparting Grace:

These will  be gifts of grace we impart in love to all those

We  are impacting each and every day.

 

Blessings,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



The Garden Was God's Idea

Simple Pleasures

 

A cup of tea to refresh me!

 

A delicious cinnamon roll to delight my taste buds.

 

This is a very busy season for all of us.

We have been indoors all winter long, and now we are

Being beckoned to venture outside and take it all in.

 

Working  and planting and cleaning our yards up.

Planting our gardens.

Trimming trees

Fertilizing

Breaking up the fallow ground.

It does  feel wonderful to be outside again!

 

I am taking pleasure in this moment as the season changes.

May all of you be blessed in your outside activity's.

Enjoy the sunshine and the fresh air.

We bloggers need new creative pictures and new things to write about!

 

Be inspired

Bless your family

Beautify your home

Become all He has created you to be!

Be beautiful in all you do!

Tend to your garden with love.

 

Blessings,

 

The Lord God took the man and put him in a Garden of Eden

to work it and take care of it.

It's A Girl Thang...

Really, Can a girl  ever have enough purses?

Now, maybe I might have a wee bit of a purse infatuation.

I am drawn to each new season of styles and colors.

Big ones and not so big ones.

Bright ones and classic colors.

What is it about finding just the right one?

At least for a few months any- ways.

In my closet, I have a large container filled with purses,

They have been by my side and have held much needed

STUFF

So, I could leave home with a sort of a kinda suitcase (thing -ama -bob.)

So here is my thought!

I am going to Florida to see my kids.

So I will be needing a new Beachy kind of a bag!

REALLY!!

A girl who likes to have a proper bag to carry her things.

Is it really so bad?

Blessings,

Time And Eternity...

Our Time

Time  Is Ticking

Time Is Precious

Sea Shells

Time Make's Them More Beautiful

Some are smooth

Some are pointy and rough

Some are shiny.

 Beauty comes in His time.

There is something about sea shells.

To find one as you walk on the sea shore, a treasure to keep.

Time is also a treasure!

It is a gift

Each day brings a new dimension.

Calm and beautiful

Dry and dusty

Snow and cold

Windy and hot

Always changing!

Yet. There is nothing new under the sun.

I say live and live with all the gusto He has given you!

Say no to the fears that come!

Change is not an enemy;

Make the time,

You are to be the master of it and to assign the day to His flow.

To be rigid and not flexible will cause you to break.

A sea shell is not so fragile it cannot take the rolling and tossing

Of the waters force and the constant  waves.

Make the time to be all He has made you to be,

An amazing woman!

Called in this day and hour to be His treasure.

Blessings,
Living From Glory To Glory



I Don't Love Nobody

Sometimes we can be so selfish, in thinking we are the

Only ones with feelings.

 

We all have feelings and they do get hurt!

 

I believe our feelings can get hurt in many ways,

Such as when a word spoken causes hurt.

Sometimes it is an unkind look,

Or maybe no eye contact was given (ignored).

 

But mostly I think it is our words!

 

 

My husband has always said this saying:

"Maybe they are having a really bad day!"

 

We must extend grace, we are not perfect and all of us

Are under stress and we can become tired,

And just plain worn out.

 

We must not be like this selfish little girl!

 

The training of our tongues!

 

A careless word may kindle strife,

A cruel word may wreck a life,

A timely word may lessen stress,

A loving word may heal and bless.

 

 

Blessings,

He who guards his mouth preserves life.

Proverbs 13:3

 

I Do Not Want To Eat Worms!



A Labor Of Service

A Labor Of Love
 
 
He Loves us so Much.

He humbled Himself.

He washed their feet.

He knelt and prayed.

He laid down His life.

 

How many times a day have we all had to stoop over to tie a little one's shoe,

 or pick up something that had fallen to the floor.

There was a day when we would kneel and pray.

Posture and body language speaks very loud and sends a message.

 Never be so proud or un-willing to help at any level.

Let us be the one to volunteer with no complaining or griping.

 

Treasure these things in your heart;

Loving your wee ones for they will soon leave the nest.

Take joy in keeping your home.

Love your mate with your whole heart.

Give thanks with a grateful heart.

 Labor of love,

His love,

Blessings,

 

 

This Chair Is Just Right

 

 This Chair is too small for both myself and my hubby!



 

This is  a close up shot of it,

the design and pattern of it was very tight and small.

Also the chair itself was tiny.

 

 



 

Here is the replacement!

It is much larger and of course it is covered

with leather. It is very large and roomy

and comfortable.

 

 

Here is the throw pillow that came with the couch,

I felt it was hard as a rock,

and much too large for this couch.

 

 

 Can you see the new pillow, it is smaller and a very

vintage pattern. We did put three of them on the couch.

Here is my new cozy chair,

And it's just right!

 

 

I am so thankful for the amazing La-Z-boy company.

They were generous and took the first two chairs back.

Mind you these were special orders, and they did allow

us to return them.

 

I will tell you that once we returned the first chairs,

we had to choose some new ones.

 

Now, this is where I stepped back and let my hubby

take over. He had to sit in each chair to make sure it

was large enough for him to comfortably sit in it.

We are convinced the furniture out there is shrinking!

 

I am so blessed as we have always taken great care of our\furniture.

So we were able to bless others with a slightly used

and comfy older stuff.

 

I love being a homemaker!

 

This has been a season for painting and makeovers.

 

Blessings,
