Wednesday in the Word (HOPE)

I hope that you all have enjoyed this beautiful Easter Sunday. He is risen! I wanted to end the month of March in sharing a few of my favorite photos from the month. Celebrated my favorite grandsons birthday. Conner is 18 now! Our beautiful Mallory Grace all decked out for the prom. The youngest grands (sisters) were flower girls in their uncle's wedding. The oldest one was in her element of dress up. The younger one, not so much. THAT HAIR BAND ITCHED HER HEAD she said! I purchased a new pair of wedges that I love. I am always skeptical about ordering shoes or clothing but read the reviews on Amazon and went for it. Love the color and the style. The youngest grand loves to take selfies and play with the filters. Marty colored Easter eggs. He always colors at least a dozen every year. He always says he's doing it for the grands but I know he does it because of the inner child in him! LOL! I went with the little ones to Disney on Ice and we had the best time. I think I enjo

Wednesday in the Word (HOPE)

Hope is a wonderful thing....One little nibble will keep a man fishing all day.

Have you noticed that when we know there is hope no matter what our situation is that we can go just a little bit farther? That we can keep on just tossing that pole out in the water hoping for another bite?

I've noticed with family and friends and for myself that when there seems to be just a little ray of hope with the situation at hand that we tend to push harder, pray harder, and love harder.

The mama that is in need of clothing for her children finds out there is a church clothing ministry right around the block and her prayers has been answered with Hope and Love. Her 4 children are given enough clothes, shoes, underclothing and more to start school.

The man that has lost his job and searching for something, anything, to feed his children: Prays and Hopes and through the love of another finds a job within 20 miles of his home. Not much money but enough to keep his bills paid and food on the table. And he praises God! And he Hopes that God will open more doors.

The teenager that has secretly decided to have an abortion: She feels HOPELESS. She feels NO ONE LOVES her. She feels she can't even Pray! She rides by a small building in her community called First Coast Women's Services. An Alternative to abortion. She pulls in the parking lot...debating on whether to go in. She HOPES! She goes in building and when she leaves she has HOPE! HOPE that God will carry through this time of her life. She keeps her baby. She found her HOPE through Christ and loves being a Mommy.

The older lady that found out she has breast cancer but feels there is no hope for her because of her age. She prays and seeks God for answers to her treatment. She places her hope in God and God alone. She chooses the route she will take and places her trust totally in God for the ride of her journey. She is 90 years old now! Her Hope was in Christ and He has carried her through.

Oh when we have Hope...just a ray of hope...no matter what our circumstances are....we can keep on fishing!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

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

{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

{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
