{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

Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin. 

Oh I love that song...don't you? God has extended so much grace to me. Just by His very grace and faith was I saved. Grace is simply unmerited favor. Nothing we deserve by no means but simply because God loves us so much that He wants to instill His grace upon us.

I've found that Grace enables me to make it! No matter what my need is or my circumstance God's Grace is sufficient.

There has been many times I must admit that I've thought His grace couldn't come soon enough! 
Have you felt that way at times?

I heard Grace explained like this once. Grace is like a rescue unit. It is sitting there in its spot until 911 is dialed. Once the call comes in the rescue is on its way...lights flashing and sirens blaring. Rescue is on its way to meet your need! What a wonderful example of Grace!

Grace doesn't exempt us from trials; it takes us through them. Just when we need His grace it is there...extended with love and kindness. 

  Conner

There are things in my life that I have gone through that others have said, "I couldn't deal with that...I couldn't do that....I couldn't handle that....And I said that same thing to others as well. But you know what I have learned? If we've not been there we can't handle it! WE'RE NOT THERE! 
But if we arrive to a spot in our life that is unpleasant, sad, overwhelming, frustrating, or etc., God will extend His Grace just when we need it. 

 My great niece Cami

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.


His Grace is all we need.

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  1. Oh my! What a much needed post Miss Cindy. I know that God's grace abounds me daily but here recently I have almost felt alone in certain areas of my life. You are so right! God's grace comes to us just in the nick of the time! Thank you for this Wednesday in the Word. So glad I logged on tonight! Connie Royals

  5. Thank you for always sharing such positive uplifting post. Your words ring true with the kind of wisdom that only comes from the blessing of age and a heart and soul that has spent years searching for Gods words with a true desire to know Him.

    I love the wonderful family photographs you've taken. What a wonderful and talented artist you are.

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
