{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-God is FAITHFUL.




We live in a world that has ceaseless change, utter confusion, uncertainty and insecurity. We hear and we witness the brutality of man. We worry about the diseases that could ravage our bodies and that of our loved ones. We hold onto our little one's hands in fear that within a split second they could go missing. We lock our doors and our windows to keep the bad people out. We shutter in silence when watching the news. We cry at night because of fear. We can't think about our future because we fear what may come. We wonder, "What will our little ones have to look forward too". We ask, "who can we trust". My heart breaks when I hear of the horrible persecutions that my brothers and sisters in Christ has faced. My body cringes when I hear of diseases that seem to be hiding in the shadows waiting for its next victim. I cry for the mama that her child has went missing. I wonder at times what tomorrow will be bring if I am given another day of life. Yes, these thoughts are normal. The sadness is lurking around our world with a heaviness of heart. Our minds go on and on with these haunting thoughts.

Yet for the Christian we can have a peace that will surpass any understanding. His Word says that He will never leave us nor forsake us. He tells us that we can trust Him because He is the ONLY one that is faithful.

Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

John 16:33"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever."

Malachi 3:6 tells us that the LORD NEVER CHANGES!

Christ never intended for us to live in constant fear. He doesn't want us to arise in the mornings with a doom and gloom attitude. Christ never meant for us to hide in a closet and not to live. Matter of fact I believe His desire is that we live life to the fullest and that we live it for HIM. 

Here's the thing my friends....The Bible makes it clear that NO ONE knows the day or the hour that Christ will return. We should always be about the business of Christ regardless of what is going on around us in this world. Time is drawing near and the end of this life is closer now than it's ever been. May we live for Him daily...pray, praise, seek, and rejoice! Simply because He is God! 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  3. I've been sharing lots of things lately with my brother about faith instead of worry. He has so many what I deem as unnecessary fears. This post is full of wisdom, my friend. Hope you have an awesome day!

  5. Every time I read one of your Miss Cindy - a melody starts playing in head

    Great Is Thy Faithfulness1
    Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
    There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
    Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
    As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
    Great is Thy faithfulness!
    Great is Thy faithfulness!
    Morning by morning new mercies I see.
    All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
    Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

  8. Great post, Cindy! Sometimes we spend more time worrying about what we cannot change than we spend living our lives and praising God for all of our blessings. We should all try to reverse these!

  9. I love your post! I'm not good at explaining much of the deep in my blog, but you, it touched my heart. You see, we pray so much in my monthly Rosary's and at another friend and we touch all these subjects and the sufferings people in some countries are enduring. Now even in Mexico there are some poor parents who have NO IDEA whatever happened to their college sons, 42 of them that have disappear when they underwent a march for something!
    OMG, those parents and it's almost 2 months now!
    Thanks for your sweet visit my friend.

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
