{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

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

    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.

    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...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too.  Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway.  We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20.  We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
