Lonely Feelings Find Everyone...

Separation from anything or anybody, can cause an unrest within ourselves.

Self can become the only beating heart!



All will experience this feeling;



We call it LONELY

There are clubs for it.



Books have been written about it



Many songs have been sung about it

Yet, lonely has not escaped anyone!

We will always find ourselves in a lonely place:

Either in our hearts or minds...

Because we are separated by color by education

By statue Que

By Male or Female

But those are not the real reason’s!

But it is because we live in a sinful world.

Only our connection with Christ and Him crucified will

Give us the wholeness we desire.

We will always feel the lonely feeling

For until we come into His fullness

It will invade;

Our busy

Our noise
Our space
Our hearts

For we cannot silence this lonely!
~It must be filled~

Blessings,

Roxy

For Every Season Is A Blessing...

I remember watching this scene of this particular movie.

It was many years ago.

It had just come out in the movie theaters.

I went by myself and I was nine months pregnant.

It was hotter then blue blazes out! :)

It was the only place I could find refuge from the heat.

I was about to give birth to my first child.

I was a wee bit scared!

I was challenged with all the thoughts of becoming a mommy.

And a bit afraid of giving birth also.

So I remember this movie well,

But it is this scene that I loved best!

Sometimes when we are with all the people we are used to

being around we can act a certain way.

But, it is when we are away from all expectations and duties,

is when matters of the heart can be brought forth.

We as woman desire love and commitment.

Because that is the way God made us!

May we take the time to reminisce of our hearts to love.

Our marriage.

The giving birth to our children.

Summer memories.

The milestones you have passed.

What the future still holds.

August is a special month for me, it holds sweet memories!

But, I can say every month has special meanings,

For to every season is the blessings, He has planned for you there.

 May your love never grow cold!

Love is the one thing that will give life!

Blessings Always,

Roxy

The Heavens Will Open One Day...

A Dream

In my dream my hubby says to me Roxy you gotta

Come and see this!

So I go outside with him and we are standing out by our pool.

I look up and the sky just opens up and there is an

Amazing glorious Fire.

These flames are so majestic!

I am in awe...

I fall down and I worship God!

Praise pours forth from my lips!

When I awake from this dream I know it was a God dream!

I called my friend Pam that morning, and told her about my dream.

 And she said to me, we will see the Fire Of God!

Later that same day, but now it was evening time.

She was returning back home towards the mountains.

They looked out into the Eastern plains and this is what she saw!

There was an opening into the sky and a huge mass of fire looking

colors were in the sky (right over our land).

I am a dreamer!

Blessings,

Roxy

Slip Sliding Away In The Summer Time...

As a child I remember this time of the Summer being called

The dog days of Summer!

The summer days just went as slow as molasses;

It was so hot the dog would not even move.

We played on our slip and slip

 and we filled

our water tubs to sit in to keep cool.

We made our homemade Popsicles out of Kool-aid!

We went to the lake!

We went to the pool sometimes.

Summer lasted for a whole year it seemed like!

It was so hot outside my Momma had coined the phrase,

"It is Hotter then Blue Blaze's out here!"

Now, that just kinda stuck in my head,

As a grown woman today when it's really hot,

I can hear myself saying!!

"It's Hotter then Blue Blaze's out here today!!"

Every night we would play outside till dark, playing

all are favorite games.

Kick the can!

Kickball

Hide-n-seek

But now it seems like summer just slips and slides away!



May we make the time and enjoy the rest of these

Summer days!

Let us not  allow any of our days slip away!

Dance in His showers of refreshment,

Sing and play while the sun warms your skin.

For summer has a way of slipping away.

Blessings,

Roxy

The Charm Of Curtains...

The Curtains Come Down

These curtains were some of my very favorites,

They made my living room so bright and cheery.

I loved the flowers with the distinctive vines and branch pattern.

But it was the bright yellow color I loved the most.

I have always tried to put some yellow in every room as I think

It helps a room to pop (catch your eye).

But after I got my new furniture,

the flowers and yellow did not flow well together.

So I found a neutral earth color fabric of stripes.

By my own confessed love of flowers and vintage material

 this  was a really different choice for me.

But I have found this choice of stripes to go remarkably well in my living room.

But something was still missing;

I needed lace or something to say soft and charming

I found these perfect valances at JC Penny's

They were in the clearance return bin and I got them each

for under $4.00 dollars.





They even have little clear glass beads hanging on the hem of them.

I also have hung a very light sage green color sheer panel under each

  curtain. It has allowed it to soften and darken the room.

Easy on the eyes, but not too dark.

My daughter Amy found that very unique triangle shaped

lace doily on my mantel.

 I just loved it!

Making our homes distinctive and yet warm and inviting.

That is why it is called a living room.

Get it ?

We are to spend time in it really living;

Talking

Playing games

Working on a puzzle

Visiting with friends

Is your living room liveable?

Blessings,

 From My Home To Yours,

Roxy
