How The Power Of The Color Blue Inspires Us...

 

Robin Eggs

There is just something about the color of Robins eggs that are so precious.

Why are they so blue and remind us of an ocean crystal clear?

A deep blue that is beholding of a depth that is hard to capture.

Artist for years have tried to replicate its unique color.

The color blue brings peace and calming, to me;

I think that is why we enjoy gazing up into a clear blue sky

Or standing at the seashore of a tropical setting,

Sometimes it is even portrayed even in a picture that beckons us!

We can feel the depth of stability, as the sky and the ocean have always been since creation!

I looked up the meanings of the color blue and it was very interesting,

Some of the effects that have been recorded as being calming!

To make you feel uplifted and happy

Blue symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, faith and truth and of Heaven!

The color blue says open spaces;

And it opens up my imagination to the vastness of ideas

The color blue in the Bible represents the Word and the power of God

Numbers 15:38-41

The Law, or Commandments

~I imagine that the river of life must be blue and crystal clear~

The wall and the foundations were furnished with so many precious stones of different colors, 

Notice the second one was Sapphire

Revelation 21:19

(The tribe of Dan)

When we begin to feel like winter will never end;

Or a relationship that feels dead

God opens our eyes to newness of life and an open sky to possibilities

I believe in resurrection power...

There is a force that beats our hearts and is attached to a golden cord called life!

I am speaking to dead marriages

Prodigal children

deathbed conversions

broken hearts

Lies spoken by the enemy of our souls

Look up

Seek His face while it might be found, He has the answers

Do not give up!

Be not discouraged

The battle belongs to the Lord

~But we must stand on His truth and not lay down our shield of faith~

There is always a promise that God is in the process of fulfilling!

When you see the Robin, you know a new season and life is here

REJOICE

Do you find yourself drawn to spring colors!

Can you sense the uplifting of your spirits through color?

How The Benefits of Epsom Salts Can Help Heal...

Natures Wonder...

This wonderful natural salt can be used for many things;

It is a beauty secret and can be used for health benefits.

You can use it as a facial mask;

Mix with a small amount of honey and smooth a bit in your face and neck.

Let set for 2-3 minutes and gently wash off!

It makes your face look radiant and smooth  looking skin...

I have always enjoyed the benefits of using Epsom salt in my bath or a foot soak!
(This is a wonderful thing to do for your Hubby when he gets home from work once in awhile)

If you have a splinter in a finger it will help to draw it out. And helps take the pain away!

It will help you feel relaxed and refreshed when used in your bath water!

This is the time of the year where we are working outside so much more.
And getting more use of all our muscles!

But I have really come to realize the benefits of the this salt filled with magnesium!

Our bodies are so depleted in this wonderful mineral!
There is now an oil you can get from your health food store that
you can just rub on your skin.

Here are just a few good reasons to use Epsom salts;

Using this in your bath water will help Relieve Stress and Anxiety: The moment you slide into a warm bath, you may instantly feel less stressed...

Epsom salt also helps reduce your stress because it helps your body to produce serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical in the brain that brings an overall calm feeling to your body and mind.

Epsom salt also lowers blood pressure and helps you sleep like a baby.

Epsom salt will help Relieves Pain and Muscle Cramps:
 The majority of our pain comes from inflammation of the joints and muscles

 this is especially true in the case of back pain.

 Epsom salt helps relieve the pain and the inflammation in all your joints!

 It also will help heal skin wounds and can help with migraine headaches.

 It is really good for your brain and your level of electrolytes.
I have heard it helps with concentration!
People that have seizures can benefit from magnesium also.

The Epsom salt bath will also help remove toxins, but be warned;

These mineral salt baths do make you feel tired, so take them in the evenings

Just before bedtime!

Also, you need to drink plenty of water to keep flushing out the toxins!

Epsom salt is actually a pure mineral compound of both magnesium and sulfate.

It has shown in studies to contain over 325 enzymes.

I know it helps with inflammation of any joint or back pain!

I always have a bag or carton of this magic cure around my house!

This stuff is so cheap, you can find it even at most Dollar Stores.

I think this is a very frugal health item that should be in every

Medicinal cabinet, as it works for so many things that ail us,

And is so cost efficient and affordable!

You can then pour it into a pretty jar and set near your tub or counter top.

I really think this salt is a gift from the Lord, as it has so many healing qualities!

Here are some of the same facts from the Epsom Salt Council;

How To Be A Pansy And Thrive...

Pansies...

We are so blessed to be part of unique positioning.

The sun is the greater light

The moon the lesser light,
We have the light of the Lord within if we are Christians.

But we have all the details to accomplish the great and special events.

That has been predestined for us!

There are so many details that seem insignificant,

But they all have been divinely ordained!

I am always amazed at the intricate design of creation of

All plants and flowers and animals.

But what just makes my heart leap is the way a heart longs

To love in the face of struggle.

The scriptures tell us that women are the weaker vessel;
But I think in a way it is like a Pansy flower;
Soft and delicate, very fine and colorful and attractive!
A flower in the very sense of the word;
But a pansy flower can stand up to brutal cold temps,
To be covered in a foot of snow!
Yet, they do more than survive, they thrive!
They can grow in the shade, even in soil made up of pine needles.
They stay alive with even very little water.

So I think of women that in many ways may be weaker;
But I see the makeup of A sturdy and strong strength;
That come from within...
To endure tough situations

Giving birth
Holding the hand of someone dying
Being an advocate for someone with no words
Protecting our children
Loving in the face of rejection
Waiting till the time of revelation of a situation...

The saying of don't be a Pansy, brings a whole new spin on that one!

I may cry, but I can still see through my tears!
Scripture tells us sorrow may last through the night;
But JOY comes in the morning...

I am thankful for the strength to do more than survive,
But we are called to thrive and set our hand to the plow;
And to break up that fallow ground!
Even a Pansy can break through a hard and cracked surface;
And bend its head into the rays of warm sunshine and smiles.
The Pansy smiles into the face of adversity...

For The Revelation Awaits...

All things have an appointed time...

~It speaks~

Waiting for all that God has planned for you, is well worth the wait!

All things will come to pass for you dear ones...

As we wait, we must stay busy and occupy till He returns!

 We have many days and years to fill with fruits and works,

"For His Glory"

When you wait patiently for His timing all things just unfold...

We are all just so impatient

Could you not tarry for one hour?

Would you not watch for three days?

Would you persevere for forty years?

We sometimes may feel we are wasting our time;

But what may be really going on is that we may not be using our time wisely.

I have seen a pattern in my life;

I work hard and then I rest...

We work so we can enjoy the fruits of His good pleasure towards us!

I find great joy knowing that every promise in God's word will be

Fulfilled, just as He foretold.

When we are waiting for something, we grow!

~Learning to find the pleasure in the waiting~

When we conceived a child, we have nine months to prepare

When we plant a seed we have months till we harvest

When we plant a tree we have years till we have shade or fruit to harvest

A great marriage may take many years

It can take decades for your children to rise up to call you blessed

Wait...

All things in its appointed season

Even if the enemy of our souls tries to bring destruction

God will use it for His glory

Nothing is wasted...

All will be used to build up or prove false...

The truth will win

The King on His white horse called

Faithful and true!

Be faithful dear ones;

Be a faithful daughter

Be a faithful woman

Be a faithful wife

Be a faithful witness

(Those that wait will see)

For it shall surely come...

There Are Real People Behind Blogging...

There are real people behind blogging...

I just wanted to share with you ladies my visit with a dear blogging friend!

Her name is Stephanie from Enchanting Rose!

I just feel sometimes we do not see the hand extended to each other through blogging.

We are real people with families and homes that we are called to tend and water!

We are all sowing seeds of either weeds or flowers with our words;

All words produce something;

So may this post about blogging encourage you to try to see the person,

behind the post that are written on our blogs.

This was a powerful lesson that helps us to see that we are really

impacting another person!

My visit with this lovely lady was so precious!

~She has a very cozy and lovely home~

She gives the gift of hospitality and her crafts have inspired so many from her Blog!

The Enchanting Rose Blog

We had a delicious dinner and some good laughs!

We connected and found comfort in the memories we were making.

We were able to take a few pictures to share with our other blogging friends!

So what I wanted to say to you about blogging today is this!

You can make life long friendships with some wonderful people out there!

We must remind ourselves that they have feelings and long to be recognized and

Appreciated and to comment on their hard work of writing a post!

The connection is something that we all long for!

And when you find like minded ladies that love the same things you do!

Wow, what a blessing Blogging can become...

Through Blogging you can make friends all over the world!

I appreciate it when we can see the hearts behind the purpose of why we

Write and Blog and Comment!

May your Blog be a source of inspiration to others and to know

That a real connection is in the making!

I realize we cannot spend too much time on the computer as it is not healthy!

We need to learn to do it in moderation...

Keep an eye on the amount of time you spend sitting in front of your computer.

Find a few ladies that you have the same heart and interest and invest in them!

You can be kind to all!

To Many Boys Looking Pretty...

Artist Henry Raeburn

Boys, looking like boys...

But we hear so often the phrase "Pretty Boy"

We are living in a culture where so many boys dress in skinny jeans,

And fashionable clothing!

I think it is rather odd how boys are made to look pretty!

And there is a fashion trend geared toward looking good!

I still prefer a boy to look like a boy;

Seeing Earrings on boys still does not look appropriate  

As I have seen very young boys with them...

Boys

Snails and puppy dog tails

That is what a boy should be allowed to do;

We have confusion going on in even little boys' wardrobes.

Nothing wrong for them to look neat and tough and rough;

Little boys need to have the freedom to play ball,

Find roly-polies, and collect rocks!

Play war and ride their bikes like the wind!

Have a good tumble every so often;

Even a good punch in the arm can help them roll with the punches!

Keeping the little boy in a place where they can be in training,

To discover the great outdoors...

Too many of our little boys live in sterile environments,

And sit in front of a video screen!

Be careful to not expect them to be pretty and clean all the time...

Little Boys are not supposed to be dainty and re-fined!

Boys need forts and sand boxes and dogs to play with!

We need to allow them to build things out of scrap wood and fly kites.

They need to have trucks and play guns and books just for boys.

Do not dress your boys like girls

Do not let them have long hair

Do not expect them to act soft and dainty!

Boys will be boys

Unless of course you want a pretty boy'

Most of the ones who have been told so many times how good looking

They were, it has gone to their head!

Some have even grown up to be playboys.

And have made a game out of winning young ladies hearts!

Grow boys and train them to be loyal and strong!

May they grow up learning to honor and to practice diligence in their tasks!

May they be hard-working and able to fix things!

Teach them well as one day they will need to support a family!

Help them to have Godly character...
