{March is well under way}

February days are now gone and March has officially kicked in.   I finally purchased a new monthly focus board.  We ventured out for a day date which included a movie. I love our day dates. I will give my honest review about the movie for those interested. I wanted to see this movie as it was based on a true story. I did enjoy the movie but oh my, it was a tear jerker from the get go! It ended good but mercy! Let's just say that I am thankful that no one was sitting close enough to see my tear stained face. I am glad that I saw it but I am good for a while on sad movies, even if they do end good!   My oldest daughter, her husband and their son participated in the Spartan race which is a series of obstacle courses that challenge. They done so well. As you can see from the pictures it gets pretty muddy!  My three daughters participate each year in the Gate River Run. I love it that they do this together. They have so much support & encouragement from all the onlookers. I am just

Wednesday In The Word

I don't know about you but I love me some Max Lucado. There isn't a book I have of his that I have not enjoyed. Some of his books I've enjoyed MANY times over and one of those books is "SIX HOURS ONE FRIDAY". 


With Easter approaching and Good Friday just days away how can we not think of those SIX HOURS? 
The CROSS....Do we realize what Jesus done for us on the Cross? Oh how we tend to forget at times.




Max Lucado reminds us in his book that if we aren't teaching the Cross then somehow we have forgotten that we need it! If we're not teaching people how to be saved then perhaps we have forgotten the tragedy of being lost. If we're not teaching the message of forgiveness we must have forgotten what it was like to be guilty. 


How quickly we forget what the Cross meant for us! 
The cross means that you and I must acknowledge our desperate need for God. Without Him we are nothing.
The cross means Christ's death has made it possible for us to be reconnected to God. 
 The cross means if we ask forgiveness for our sins and receive Christ into our lives we will be saved.  
 When we begin to forget what Jesus done for us and made possible for us lets stop for just a minute...lets close our eyes and see ourselves standing before HIM.
Think...really think....see the Christ! Run your fingers over His nail scared feet. Place your hand in His pierced side. Look up now...into His eyes...Those are the same eyes that melted the gates of hell and sent the demons and Satan running. 
Look into His eyes...YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!


I am so grateful that He chose to go to the Cross for me! A mere sinner saved by grace....

In those SIX HOURS ONE FRIDAY a lot happened!

Praying you all have a wonderful Good Friday and a very Blessed Easter.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  1. Your blog has brought me to tears this morning. I am so thankful that he went to the Cross for me also. Most of the time I feel like I fall short, that I'm not doing enough, not able to get the Word out correctly...Thank God for his mercies; for His Son. I also love Max Lucado's writings. He just makes you want to have a heart like that all the time. Thank you for this message.
    And thank you for visiting my blog. I was so happy to see that you had visited. Now I'm a new follower of your blog.
    Happy Easter and have a blessed day.

  8. Cindy, Is that ever true!!! We need to tell others the message. The field is white unto harvest, but the workers are few. I pray that I may be a bold witness and that Christ will use me. Thanks for a wonderful post, Cindy, and Happy Easter.

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a yard

{Another Fun Filled Weekend}

I hope you all are doing well. I am trying to wind down for the night and thought I would try and get a post out. Girls, by this time I am in my fat clothes and recliner smashing that remote control!   Marty and I kicked off our weekend by having a little fun food as I call it,  "charcuterie" style out by the pond. Of course I always fix more than we need or eat but it sure was good.  Two of our granddaughters had dance recitals over the weekend so we got to watch them perform and oh my! They were just the cutest things ever.  We were blessed to be able to see them perform. Then we celebrated a birthday for this sweet grandgirl! She was excited about being double digits . And besides all the fun from the weekend I was able to see some of my pretties in bloom.  Now to enjoy a cup of coffee.... I hope that you all have a wonderful, blessed week.  Hugs and blessings, Cindy

{Happy 46th Wedding Anniversary To Us}

  Happy October everyone! I wanted to pop in today and share a few pictures. Marty and I celebrated our 46th wedding anniversary on September 23.  Oh it seems so long ago that we said "I Do". We started dating when I was 16. Married at 18 and began a family at 20. Needless to say we have surely grown up together. Praise the Lord that we are growing "Older" together.  We decided since it had been about 8-9 years since we had been to Savannah, Ga. that we would take a weekend there and just enjoy a scenic luncheon cruise.  We enjoyed walking River street and sightseeing, shopping and eating of course! It was a nice get away and perfect for us as we are simply two imperfect people that fit perfectly together.  I did spot Santa while in Savannah though! YES, I love Christmas so I had to stop at several Christmas shops! We've had outings that have kept us quite busy and we have surely been blessed to be able to attend our grands functions and our little outings toget
