{It's A New Beginning Y'all}

  It's a tad late to wish a  Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily.  I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...

WEDNESDAY IN THE WORD

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 


 I am reading this as part of my devotional and couldn't help but chuckle! We have reaped a harvest of flooding from the storm Debbie. Seems she has left but flooding is still happening in some area's. I have prayed for rain for so long as our county and especially for our homestead because it has been so dry. I got my prayers answered with a little kick to it! I am not complaining but just couldn't help but laugh at the Lord's sense of humor this morning. I walked outside on my porch to see the road in front of my home under water. Half of front yard is flooded. My pond is running over into the yard. We had two leaks in our home yesterday in the midst of the storm that had to be fixed, alternate routes had to be taken to go anywhere within a 20 miles radius of us, my fatherinlaw's porch was flooded, and this morning I read, "This is the day the Lord has made,let us be glad and rejoice in it!
 This indeed is a brand new day that God has given us to Praise Him and to thank Him! 


Praying that no matter what is going on in your life that you too realize that this is the day the Lord has made and be glad and rejoice!


Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Good morning, Cindy. I must confess that I have been complaining that it has been so hot and extreeeeemely humid here, but then was very thankful because that high pressure kept that terrible storm from coming here. Then I'm not sure how I feel about that because now you are flooded, so the Lord's Word is a good reminder that the "day" (any day)no matter the situation, is the Lord's and we should rejoice in it. I send up many prayers for you and your family and neighbors. I suppose we need to look for the blessings in the hard times.

    I also checked out your previous posts that I missed. LOVE THE YARD SALE ITEMS! Can't wait to see what you do with the chandelier. The other posts are just GREAT! You find so many creative people with so many wonderful ideas.

    You are the best! Stay dry...
    Hugs,
    Brenda
    Prayers going up for you!

    Praying for you, Ms. Cindy....and for all those in Colorado experiencing the fires. It's supposed to be 100 degrees here this weekend...I do believe our GOD is trying desperately to get the attention of HIS people!

    Yes - I'm wondering about the balance of the weather and acts of God this week - the waters you're inundated with might be more useful in Colorado just now!

    God is in control - even in this!!
    Joy!

    As you are "rejoicing in the Lord" amidst heavy rain and flooding, we are "rejoicing" in the 105+ F temperatures coming this weekend.... with NO rain in sight.

    Love hanging out on your blog... many insightful and helpful posts!

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...

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th...

{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...
