{Sharing My Life}

  I've been enjoying drinking coffee from my new mug that was gifted to me for my birthday which was February 18th.  Every single treatment for cancer that I was given I would pray this scripture, quote this scripture and sometimes I put it in the form of a song. This verse ministered to me so many times and still does so needless to say this is my now new favorite coffee mug.  Speaking of birthdays, I was so very thankful to be able to celebrate another birthday with my family. My daughters carried me out to dinner and lavished me with lots of loves, sweet gifts and great food.  We sure have a great time together .   One of my nieces shares her birthday on the same date as me so she treated me to lunch. We have a very close relationship and she's just as lovely on the inside as she is on the outside.  My favorite dessert, strawberry cheese cake .  We also celebrated my sweet FIL for his 90th birthday.  Yesterday I had the privilege to go see Pe...

Wednesday in the Word-Rejoice

What is your New Word for 2014? 
This year as I was praying for my new word for 2014 I could never settle on a word. My friend Darlene Rockefeller made me a sweet wall hanging for Christmas and the word was REJOICE!  
I knew in an instant that was to be my word for 2014. 
My Scripture is "But let all take refuge in You REJOICE; let them sing for joy, and spread Your protection over them, that those that love Your Name may exult in You. For You bless the righteous, O Lord; You cover Him with a favor as with a shield. Psalm 5:11-12


Happy 2014!

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Great word Cindy. I think my new word for 2014 will be "think". I have made some very hasty decisions in 2013 and did not think about them first. Some of the decisions I made has come back to haunt me. In all honestly Cindy, I truly want to "Think" before making decisions of any kind. Thanks for posting your new word! Connie Royals

    Love your post Miss Cindy. I had not even begun to choose a word for this New Year and here we are 8 days into it. Perhaps over the next day or so my word will reveal itself to me :-)...Until then I will Rejoice in yours!! Johnna D.

    Cindy, what a great new word! I truly do rejoice in all of the wonderful blessing the good Lord has given me. To be honest, I have never really picked a new word for the New Year. I just always feel so blessed. May need to think about a specific word.
    hugs,

    Hi, Cindy. Thanks so much for your sweet and emphatic comments about my Three Kings celebration post--it means so much to me to read that somehow they touched someone out there.

    I'm on your email list, so today I read your post, and I LOVE your word this year. I look forward to more posts around it.

    You have no idea how you inspire me each time your posts appear in my email! Thank you.

    Blessings to you in 2014. ~Zuni

    I love it! Joy must be filling God's heart this year because versions and portions of that word keep popping up among blog friends this year. Several have been lead to the word JOY, but you are the first to be lead to the verb. I'm a verb person so I particularly love it.

    Rejoice in the LORD always. Again, I say Rejoice!

    A bit late catching up but so glad to come here and see the word and the verse God gave you for this year. I love it. My word for this year is JOY. My verse is: You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with JOY in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Psalm 16:11 (NIV)

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...
