Happy May! I wanted to pop in and share a few pictures from my month of April which seemed to fly by quickly. As I am trying to catch up with my blogging friends today I realized it had been a month since I last posted. My mercy! But, I am so busy doing this thing we call life here on earth and enjoying every moment that I can. With my immediate family of 14 there is never a dull moment y'all! We had three family birthdays in April. My SIL David, granddaughter Adalynn and oldest granddaughter Raygen. Our favorite grandson Conner (only grandson) carried his girl to the prom. We had to snap at least one picture with Mom and Nana! Two of my elementary school friends and I get together at least once every 4-5 weeks so we went to breakfast and then to Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. We always have so much fun. The gardens are so beautiful that I couldn't even attempt to snap all the pictures I wanted. There are so many beautiful paintings to look at this but this was one of
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
Great photos Cindy...you are so right we can make a difference in our families by the decisions WE make. I like the idea of "the buck stops here"

Your post is very powerful this morning. Very strong words indeed and very needed in this day and age. I have been praying for my children and my grandchildren, but never thought of what I teach them would no longer be heard when I leave this earth, but I do pray it sets in deep enough in them that they will still hear it when I'm gone. "Teach them in the way they should go and they will never part from it." Keep up your wonderful teachings, Cindy. Not only will your children and grandchildren be better off because of it, but mine and others will also be better off because of it. You're wonderful!

Aww such beautiful children!! Love that family shot!
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful photography! Your grands are such cuties! Our grandchildren will have a harder time being Christians in our "changed nation." We must pray hard while we are here and trust the Lord to protect them and hold them close to Him always.

Hi, Cindy. As a follower who gets your posts via email, I don't miss much that goes on here, and I'm so glad. It seems like your topic is perfectly timed for what I need to hear/read! Your babies are beautiful, as is your photography. I was so pleased to see that you'd stopped by my baptism table post and commented! Thank you for your kind and sweet words. God bless. ~Zuni
ReplyDeleteHi Dear Cindy! Oh, this is so true and so much needed today as more and more people do not follow Jesus. Such a great reminder to be more mindful of praying specifically for our descendants! I love your precious snaps too. Hope you're doing well, dear one.
ReplyDeleteYou're always a sweetie,

Love this post Cindy, it is a subject that I have also had to stand firm against. My daughter and I have talked about it many times, it was late in my life before I realized what was happening, before I understood. Thank God, He is faithful and provides us with the armor we need to go against Satan and his demons. We must stand strong in th faith and call on God everyday for guidance and protection.
ReplyDeleteCindy, I do think it's up to us to make our own happiness. Being unselfish and putting others before ourselves makes a big difference. I too can NOT imagine life without my dear husband and family. Your grands are darling and look like little angels. Loved the profound message of this post!

WOW, what a powerful message Miss Cindy. You have a beautiful family (love, love, love your photography). Johnna
