Mug Exchange

 

 

Good Morning!

 

I just wanted to share how fun and wonderful it

Has been being a part of this tea cup and mug exchange.

 

I wanted to be a part of this linkup so I am posting

A picture of a lovely extra blessing I received yesterday

In the mail from a dear sister in the Lord.

 

Can you maybe guess who she might be?

 

But , I do want to tell you about the sweet

And the gracious woman who drew my name for

Our exchange:

Her name is Laura

She lives in Main

Her home is sweet and charming!

She has Chickens!

I love Chickens :)

 

I have not received her package yet;

BUT, it is coming...

 

The reason for the delay is a very serious and heartfelt

Situation as you see, her

 Dear brother Gary is very ill.

 

She needs prayers for Gary, but also for herself and her family!

 

May she not feel alone or not covered by His hand

in this time of trouble.

Please PRAY

 

Please visit her sweet Blog !

Fall Decor

Decorating For Fall

 

This is my first time for taking all my other treasures

off my mantel and doing a theme for the Fall season.

 

I really enjoyed myself , while shopping for the decor!

My favorite item was the wooden blocks,

that spelled out Harvest!

 

I changed out the candles from the cream yellow

To a rustic orange color.

And I added a bouquet of Fall flowers to my vase.



I have this neat old looking metal basket,

that I just had to use for something.

 

So, I added my Fall corn and mini pumpkins in it!

 

It has been enjoyable to see the festive Fall colors.

 

It just brings a cozy atmosphere to the room!

We Girls are all about cozy and comfortable...

 

Happy Fall To All!!

 

Blessings,

Roxy

Boo!

The Friendly Ghost!

 

This is a test!

 

Our there friendly GHOSTS?

 

Anyone, who really has their eyes open, can see the

spirit of death has swooped down upon this culture!

 

Is it okay to scare and put fear in one another?

 

How do you think the Spirit of God feels,

When we put before us things that are about

death, and monsters, and evil creatures!

What about making satan look cute?

Does this grieve the Holy Spirit?

YES, it does dear ones!

 

Do we open the door to the spirit of fear,

By interacting with these kinds of behavior's?

Many cool and popular clothing lines,

are plastered with skeletons!

Why are we glorifying the darkness?

Evil is real!

It is not cute or fun or pleasing to God!

We are looking more and more like this culture

of death!

Wanting to be scared and watching things that bring,

death and fear!

He told us to stay away from the appearance of EVIL...

Not promote it!

BEWARE:

 

A spirit of fear can come upon you or your children,

Just by subjecting them to these things,

 that say death and fear!

I am telling you this because, as a child this very thing

happened to me!

 

I ask you dear ones to protect their hearts and minds!

This is the time to teach them about discernment and

the difference between

Good and Evil!

We must only celebrate the death and burial and
Ressurection of Jesus Christ!

 

 

Blessings,

Roxy



Too Much

 

 

These last two weeks have been too much!

 

When do we as women finally learn to say enough?

 

There are so many things to do!

And most of these things can be really good things.

But having to be up and gone very early,

For too many days in a row becomes

 Very disruptive in being able to keep myself,

And my home in smooth running order!

 

 And being over extended is not wise!

 

Something always has to give!!

My time with the LORD??

No way...

 

Forget the laundry?

It doesn't go away it just piles up!

 

Forget making a good home cooked meal?

Pizza or Popcorn!

 

Dust Bunnies gone wild?

They are not family pets!

 

WAIT....

I am a Home  Maker!

Should I be at home??

 

Okay!

You get the picture!

 

Learn to use wisdom and say no to most outside things,

That will keep you away from home for long periods

of time!

 

I do not want to look like Alfalfa!

Eyes bugging out!

My hair standing straight up.

 

Blessings,

Roxy

Once I realized this is life.

So let's live and take JOY!!

I am having a Birthday next month!
Celebrate with a new song
Sing unto the LORD!

Is true wisdom!

Having the wisdom to be about His work.

Days Gone By

 

Fall In Love!

 

This is just the most amazing thing!

 

The changing of the season's...

 

I always feel a little sad when a season ends!

You finally just get use to something, and BANG...

It changes!

Like, I just got use to having my kids around,

And what do they do?

They grow up and leave home.

May I always remember!



Just what I learned from the last season :)

 

 

You all have heard the old saying:

Hind sight is 20/20

 

But, I believe we can call to remembrance,

All the good things!

 

Sending you all good and loving memories;

Of the days gone by.

 

Blessings,

Roxy

Our Bedroom Makeover

 Here is a picture of my old drapes.

Ten years ago I really liked them!

They were a very pretty pattern and very thick material.

I always have to line my drapes becaus my Hubby works nights.

I already had taken down all the pictures, when I thought,

take some before and after pictures for my blog. 

 

 



 This room has very tall ceilings.

Two long walls and of course to short walls.

Which means only two walls to work with for a big bed and dresser.
There is only plan A for moving the furniture around.

 

 



 Okay You all can gasp...

I had a pink wall,

HAD a pink wall!

Pepto Bismal anyone?

(Really I liked it!)

 Teal carpet...
OKAY

It was in style 20 years ago!

(I really liked it too!)

 

 

Now the after:



 We painted it a very pretty warm golden color.

It made the room so cozy!

It made it so calming and peaceful for us.

 Notice the lush thick beige carpet!

God is so amazing,

 we found this in the back of a carpet store.

It was on one of those big rolls way in the back.

I was praying Lord, help me find a treasure.

This carpet went for $28.00 a yard!

We got it for $2.78 a yard!!

The man said to me lady you got expensive taste.

He said we quit selling carpet like this because people,

do not buy this expensive stuff anymore.

So, it was just waiting for me. 

 My new bedspread,

 pretty white with lovely flowers on it.

 My new curtains!
We spray painted our old lamps black,and
We  bought new lamp shades for them.

 

 

 

 Cutting out these curtains was very hard!

My dear friend Pam came out and helped me!

I could not of done it by myself, as the pattern in this thick

material had to line up just right.

We had three windows to cover in our room.
Thank You Pam!
I Praise God for you!!

 I was smoking hot on this machine!

I did so much sewing on this project my machine

needed a tune-up afterwards.

Amazing!!

All the designs in this print lined up perfect!

 

I am so blessed!

So, in another 20years will the beige carpet be out of style?

The salesman told me that this carpet was over 20 years old.

And God saved it just for me!

 

Blessings,

Roxy

Bringing In The Harvest

 As Far As The Eye Can See!

 

I would like to share my neck of the woods with you all!

It is always so nice to see a part of other people's homes
And where they live, as we all have been placed within
the borders, God has chosen for us!

As we all have experienced the feelings of
Want or Wow, as we wander through Blogs ville.

Some of the Blogs have such amazing pictures.
Others are filled with DIY information!

So many recipe's that make my mouth water :)
Others with very important facts...

Some, that just make you feel comfy and cozy.
And apart of their family.

You are all so unique!

I am learning to be content!

There can be a peace in the country,

 and peace in the city.

For peace is a relationship!

First with God!

Then peace with all those Christ has surrounded you with!

 

Sometimes, when I go to town and on the way back home,

It will just hit me on how far out we actually live :)

 

Where am I going with this you're asking?

(If you're still reading this)

 

Every person out there in Blogs ville is real,

And they have many different faces and situations.

 

But we all have this common thread.

We are living our lives!

Will this post encourage you?

Or will this bring dis-satisfaction?

 

We all have our own lives to live!

Live them well!

This is not a dress rehearsal dear ones!

 

This is your stage, and your words count!

Your Home speaks!!

 

Do not want, what others have.

Rather be who He has called YOU to be!

 

For you dear ones ARE the Harvest!

May we be found bring in the sheaves!

 

Blessings,

Roxy
