{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

Last Wednesday in our Wednesday in the Word I tossed out some pieces from the book Crazy Love. If you missed that post and want to read it you can find it here.
http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2012/08/wednesday-in-word_21.html



Today I would like to continue with a few pieces from the book called Crazy Love. Once again, this is not a judgmental post on anyone....Take my word for it...I am preaching to the CHOIR!

Do we offer God our leftovers?

God wants our best, deserves our best and demands our best. From the beginning of time He has made it clear that some offerings are acceptable to Him and others are not. Just ask Cain, upon whose offering God "did not look at with favor". (Gen 4:5)

It is so easy for us to fill ourselves up with other things then give God whatever we have left.

A mumbled three minute prayer at the end of the day, when we are already half asleep. Two crumpled-up dollar bills thrown in as an after-thought into the church's fund. FETCH GOD! Is basically what we are saying.....

Let's stop calling it "a busy schedule", or "bills", or "forgetfulness". 

It is actually called evil! God is HOLY! 

Oh may we all be more mindful of the Holiness of our Creator. May we all truly GIVE GOD OUR BEST! 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    You know how to "hit the nail". Great reminders to one who needs reminding. I think I said last week, I need to add "Crazy Love" to my must read list.

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...

{A Celebration of Forty Years of Marriage}

Marty and I just celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary on September 23rd. On one hand, it seems like it was FOREVER ago that we said "I do" and on the other hand, it really doesn't seem that long ago.   We began dating at the age of 16, married at age 18 and began our family at age 20. WOW! Babies, right? I always said that we grew up with our children.  My friend Janice told me that most people can't commit 40 days much less 40 years and that is so very true. God has been so merciful to us over the years and the grace that He has poured out on us is about more than my little brain can comprehend. We have been truly blessed and we have not deserved one ounce of His blessings!  We have had hard times, bad times, grief, and to be totally honest, there were times we both wondered if we would make it! God has shown us Grace and Mercy over and over again. He sure loves us so much.  The question was asked to me, "What has been y...
