Gods Grace Overflows And Where Your Treasures Is...

 

These Young Ladies Inspire Me...

I have known each and every one of them for at lease

Two decades or more!

They desire to be Godly wives and mothers!

They have shown me honor and love...

I am so grateful that I have been able to speak truth and love

Into their hearts and families and marriages!

We were all having a little tea party lunch for sweet fellowship;

As these two young women were here visiting their Mother!

Which just happens to be my dear friend from our youth.

These two were best friends with my daughter growing up!

The one in the middle is my most precious Daughter In Love;

She was given to me as a gift through marriage...

She has blessed me beyond words!

You Can Find Her @

(Treasure In Earthen Vessels"

We have had many years to grow a friendship that we always

pray brings glory to God!

These young Godly Boys;

Belong to the women of the first photo I showed;

These are the young arrows these ladies are raising!

And of course, these boys are a few of Pam's and my grandchildren!

We both have more grandchildren that were not with us on this occasion.

I think it is rather very sweet to all be together for a few glorious hours!

The boys had so much fun...

We girls had a lovely day!

Tea and a yummy lunch!

Fellowship

And Love

( I just wanted to mention that the two girls in the photo with me;

Are the very ones that got all of us to start a Blog)

They are the very reason I have gotten to know so many other very special

Blogging friends all over the world!

How To Make A Very Easy Heart Banner...

~A Heart Banner~

This is a super easy way to make a very cute Heart Banner.

It would look very cute over the mantel.

All you need is a deck of cards

(You will need to punch holes in the cards

You will use all the heart cards in the deck!)

There will be thirteen of the heart ones.

Some different colors of ribbon

(Red and some white with some polka dots, stripes, hearts)

Also, you can use strips of fabric along side the ribbon!

The more the merrier...

You can purchase small amounts of a Valentine theme fabric!

You will have fun picking these out!

You can use any cord or rope or a heavy twine to string the cards on!

 Then add some ribbon and fabric strips placed between each of them!

You will also need a hole punch!

This is a rustic and heart and homey look!

You can also add some clothes pins to clip a cut out heart between the cards.

I like to use those pretty heart lace doilies!

Use your own imagination!

Have fun...

You can buy a few packs of playing cards at the Dollar Store!

You Will Need

Deck Of Cards

Twine or rope or ribbon

Hole punch

Fabric strips

Ribbons

Clothes Pins

I do hope you give this a try as it is very cute and cheap to make!

You can make one for yourself and one for a friend!

And really this is so easy your children or grandchildren

 Would love to make one!

Open Your Eyes And See Faith At Work...

Faith

It is very hard to understand faith;

And as a Christian we can have nothing,

Yet possess everything!

We can become sorrowful,

Yet we are able to rejoice

We may be poor in finances or in our health;

Yet we are rich with things money can not purchase.

This faith is very real yet invisible to the naked eye.

Faith gives  spiritual substance to the invisible...

"Faith is what will enable us to see God as a God of love at work;

Through all our hurts and hardships in our lives.

I have faith that I am doing just what God has called me to do!

Yes, I have doubts at times;

Yes, I could do more.

Yes, I could do and do and do...

But this faith allows me to wait and rest and be at peace.

I have put my hand to the plow;

I have days ahead of me that will require a purpose and a plan!

Keep your hands busy dear ones,

These days are requiring you to not look back!

Take each day one day at a time;

And create a lovely meal for your loved ones!

Bake some fresh, quick bread!

Paint your nails!

Read a Good book!

Work on some mending, sew on a button!

Write an encouraging card to someone!

Do not become discouraged!

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and certain

Of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1

Asking For Prayer And Counting Your Blessings...

God Loves To Hear Our Prayer's...

What kind of day are you having?

I do hope you are counting your blessings and giving thanks;

If you are in good health, praise the Lord!

If you have food in your cupboard, give thanks!

If your man is standing by you, give thanks!

I just wanted to share my afternoon with you ladies;

I just returned home from visiting a very dear friend!

She is an amazing woman...

Her name is Kelly

A sweet and gentle Irish gal,

She is a worshipper at heart!

~She sings like a bird~

She is funny and very cute;

But she has had struggles, like most of us have.

But this time in this season it is a different struggle!

She was diagnosed with brain cancer,

She has had two brain surgeries and is undergoing the

Full cancer treatment plan for her type of cancer!

She seemed to be very peaceful and I could sense her faith!

She had a cute headband on her head!!

Her daughter had given her a pedicure and her toes were ready to meet 

A warm and sandy beach in my opinion!

She smiled and nodded her head over everything we said to her!

We had the chance to pray with her and she gave a hardy 

AMEN...

I think God has a way of showing us a very good perspective

On what we might think is a hard or difficult season.

Can we encourage another, even when we are in a battle?

Yes, Yes we can and we should...

Can I ask you to pray for my dear friend?

Would you lift her up and add your prayer request;

To the Lord Jesus Christ, she loves and serves.

Her husband is a Pastor;

And he was telling my Husband and I, what his sermon was
 Going to be about for his church tomorrow;

It went something like this...

David learned what he needed to learn to fight the giant

Through the battles he had won with the Lion and the Bears!

We all learn to fight in the battle...

I believe one day we can all look back and sing;

Look What The Lord Has Done!

If you could leave a comment for her here on this Blog Post,
I could send her the link with your thoughts and prayers for her!
Can we encourage another today with our prayers!

THANK YOU !!

Why I Have Always Loved Having A Pretty Kitty...

Yes, That Is A Picture Of Me In My Much Younger Years

Pretty Kitty

When I was a little girl, I use to have a scrapbook  filled

with pictures of kitties I use to cut them out from magazines.
I really enjoyed looking for them, it became a game!
Some kids collected stamps, but I collected kitty pictures.
Some of the cutest ones were found on my birthday cards!

But what is really weird; 

I really was allergic to cats, but I still loved them.

About 15 years ago, my hubby got me a kitty for

~Valentines Day~

It took me awhile, but I did build up an immunity from her dander.

I still must wash my hands after petting her, or I can get itchy eyes or a  runny nose.

Every little kitty needs a friend to groom her,

and to play beauty parlor with them.
Or even dress her up and place her in a basket.
(But if you do not handle them a lot while they are little kitties,
They never get used to a lot of handling)

And you need to usually make the decision
As to whether your kitty will be an indoor or outdoor pet!

This little kitty is playing hide and seek..

I have always enjoyed seeing my kitty curled up in front of the wood stove
sleeping and reminding me that she is not worried about anything.
Purring is also very relaxing to hear in the background.

I know so many of you do not care for cats,
But I think they are just sweet to look at and to have around.
Yes, I have had to deal with cat hair,
And we did get her de-clawed when she was a kitten.
And you can always train your kitty to not jump on certain furniture items!
We used a spray bottle of water to really get tough on her!
She pretty much just sleeps and eats;
Now, that is the life...

But I find it all worth it!

She has been a comfort to me.

Blessings,

Love, Roxy
