Classic Pink

 Pink Classic

My cruiser style bike, she is so pretty!

My Hubby took her in for a tune-up early this Summer.

This surely is a sign this little Lady is getting older.

 

Let me explain;

When I was a young girl my bike was bright purple!

It had a Banana seat on it.

A slick back tire.

And no extra gears!

And chopper handle bars.

I loved that bike :)

Now fast forward almost 50 years.

Now pink is for flowers;

And Little Old Lady's  cruiser!

May we ride like the wind, and squeal with delight!

For time really does fly by.

 

 

I heard a sermon today that really touched me.

This man was telling us that while here on this earth,

We are all really dying!

 

It is when we get to Heaven we really begin living.

 

While on this earth,

We can eat really well and eat only organic and,

We can exercise and keep ourselves in shape.

But;

 

We are all perishing!

Where are your treasures?

Our you investing into the Eternal?

 

Yet;

Ride like the wind and enjoy each day!

For we are to take pleasure,

And treat each day as a gift.

Live with intent and desire a pure heart.

Invest in a life by being an example.

For living life is an art!

 

Blessings,

Eyes Of The Soul

Do you remember these eyes?

 

They were looking right through the pages of

The National Geographic Magazine

At me!

 

They captivated my heart;

Who was she?

 

Was she safe, did she have a home like me?

Did she go to bed at night fearful and afraid?

 

This picture of this little girl changed my world.

 

War, what is it good for!

 

Wars and rumors of war...

 

Will there ever be peace...

 

May we see this world through a child's eyes.

If only a glimpse!

It may be all we can take.

 

If we saw the whole picture and all our days before us,

we would not be able to bear it.

 

What happened to this little girl?

Did she get to grow up and see peace in her land?

 

Did she marry and have children of her own?

 

But here is the same little girl as a grown woman.

 



 

What does your soul reveal?

(Your mind and will and emotions)

 

 

All of our lives will be revealed in His timing:

 

 

Be very thankful for our America the beautiful!

Pray for her dear ones!

 

Blessings,

A Rare Treasure~A Virtuous Woman~

A rare treasure is found in a woman of

Godly character.

"Who can find a virtuous woman?"

Proverbs 31:10

We are all asking am I becoming this wonderful
and mysterious woman that is spoken of in
The Holy Scriptures.

May I ask you a question?
Do you;
Seek first the Kingdom of God
And His righteousness?
Then all of these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33

Do you desire to tap into all the grace of God's

Power and the Holy Spirits leading

and a resolve to be all that

God wants you to be?

As we look into the heights of His standards,

we can become overwhelmed.

Yet He tells us in His word.

precept upon precept,

line upon line.
Little by little.

We can do this because it's all in

His strength anyways!

Each day we are given, we have

His New Life flowing in us.

So:

Let's not down play these virtues.

These are not old fashioned,

or impossible.

But rather attainable.

Always progressing

Always becoming stronger.

His character being formed in you.

Blessings,

Marriage Commitment...

Walking Through Life Together

What does a vow mean to this world anymore?

Do we even know what the word means?

Being committed is good, as long as it is working for me!

I just want to share my heart about something that has,

touched almost everyone of us,

Divorce in America is ramped.

Growing up as a child from the divorce factor.

I will know longer kid myself;

I was broken and grieved!

A child with no Daddy...

One of the greatest wounds for any human being

Is rejection!

One thing I have learned in this life is this;

Marriage is a gift from God,

I am just so sorry and sad so many

Women and Men

Have been wounded and hurt from the broken vows.

From either their parents, or their own broken marriage vows.

Everyone suffers when a vow is broken.

This post is not about placing blame, but rather to say;

I am sorry for all the pain and sorrow it has cost

each and everyone of us.

But we have hope;

He has come to heal the broken hearted!

This week we will be celebrating 31 years of our marriage vows!

May we have many more years together.

But I want to encourage each and everyone of you.

Take being married as one of the most important positions

in this life.

It is work, but well worth every kind word,

 And every walk you take while holding hands.

Every kiss before you sleep.

Every good memory you hold.

Be committed to YOUR marriage!

Blessings,

Roxy

Love Lemons And Life...

Lemons

Life

Love

How wonderful and refreshing lemons are.

Many decades ago, lemons were sought after

 Almost by everyone, The affluent and well to do served

lemons as a status symbol.

Sailors knew of the health benefits to keep a sailor from sickness!

Country folks and families loved the taste and refreshment they gave.

Just a simple bowl full of lemons!

Is your life like a bowl full of lemons?

Bright and cheery

Tart and tangy

Refreshing



Or



Are you bored?

Then may I suggest limes?

You have heard many times, that if life gives you lemons

(Make lemonade)

But I think you might want to go a little deeper, and wider.

Add limes my friend!

Shake it up!

May your love of Him

And the love for others

But whoa the love for your man!

Never let it grow cold!

Love is:

YOUR LIFE

Without LOVE, you will shrivel up!

Your lips will look like you have just sucked a lemon.

Pursed and puckered dry...

You will become a bitter woman,

Not a better woman!

Love like there is NO tomorrow.

Drink from the cup of the tangy fruit set before you.

What comes has passed from the Father's hand!

The Holy Spirit will add the sugar of His fruits,

Galatians 5: 22-23

Drink up my friends,

May we look for the blessings,

For I assure you they are there!

Blessings,

The Other Side Of The Garden And Being A Biblical Woman...

What are some of the Biblical thoughts that we as women,

carry in our hearts!

Have we taken the time to bring the sweet and cozy truths,

to heart!

All real women's issues are heart issues.

Our Real Lives

Our Husband, Our Children

Our Homes

We are not a Blog Status;

How many followers?

How many comments?

We are now living on the other other side of the

Garden.



 I remember the first time I read this book!

I thought this is amazing;

Thy can not really think this is still going to happen

 In today's world!

Who really thinks we need to submit??

Wait a minute here...

GOD

Look, I am a intelligent woman.

But, I was searching, and asking "Who am I?

Why am I here?"

I wanted to know without a shadow of doubt,

Was I living my life for a worthwhile purpose?

I wanted to have and comprehend my true design and purpose!

I wanted to have fulfillment in my marriage.

I was a woman of the world till about 25yrs. old.

Our marriage had two heads...

This makes for an unnatural creature.

This was not God's design for marriage.

I started asking the Lord for His help in being a good wife.

So God brought this book into my life.

The first thing the Lord did was show me why a women was created.

I was just shocked at the fact He had a specific reason

 for each part of

His creation.

God took the essence of the woman directly out of His first

creation of mankind.

She shall be called Woman (Isha)

because she was taken out of Man (Ish)

Genesis2:23

For God stated that it was not good for man to be alone.

God designed the woman for the man's benefit.

1 Corinthians 11: 8,9

Now don't get yourself in a tizzy!

We are not the head, and we are not the tail!

But we are the heart!

So, Now it is time for us to appreciate are unique design,

and enjoy the fact that we are here for a grand and special treat.

We are Women!

Strong

Intelligent

Amazing

Sweet





Blessings,

Roxy

Peacock Or Crocodile...

Some days I feel like an amazing Peacock

Spreading my feathers as to soar to the highest peaks.

The day is filled with all colors of the rainbow.

The atmosphere is filled with hope.

I can feel the tangible waves of my Father's Love.

Life seems simple and carefree.

Your day is going smoothly, like clockwork.

I rejoice and take great pleasure in these days.

It is something I have been learning for many years.

God will always give you times of rest.

You can be free from distractions and confusion, in these times.

I like to refer to these times as my girding up!

As He knows what lies ahead...

But, on the other hand, I have had days that felt like I was trying

to pry open the mouth of a crocodile.

As we all can imagine is not something any crocodile would

enjoy having done to him.

When these days come upon you, be not surprised!

And

You should not be ill prepared to stand.

You will be challenged!

One thing I have learned is this;

That in the times of rest and peace I am being filled with

the very strength that will be required.

It is His strength.

Blessings,

Roxy
