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...
I just so happened to be driving down the road when I spotted this little yard sale! HEE-HEE!
Of course I had to stop! RIGHT????
Spotted this cute little tea cup and saucer for 50 cents! Just had to have it.
Isn't this just too cute? Haven't decided what I want to do with it yet. I bet I come up with something though. Only 50 cents!
Spotted this jewelry box.
My first thoughts; This thing needs a good cleaning.
The more I looked at it the cuter it became! It sort of had that vintage look to it and the ideas for use started flowing.
I really liked the latch. And...for $1.00....hey, if it winds up in the grandbabies play room then the grandgirls will be tickled.
This little "Family" stone was actually sitting inside the jewelry box. So when I went to pay the young woman for the jewelry box I handed her the stone and said, "This was inside the box". She said, "Well, looks like you've already got some jewelry in your box". That was all she said.
I didn't think any more about that comment until I got almost home that day. Funny how the Lord uses little things like this to speak to our hearts. "Family"---Jewelry---Jewel!
That is exactly what my family is...They are the jewels of my life! How blessed I am indeed.
I hope you are feeling blessed this week my friend. God is good and I love the way He uses the little things of this life to show Himself mighty!
Have a good week!

Hi Cindy, Love your yard sale finds and that sweet little jewel box with the stone is very special. Yes, GOD speaks to our hearts in many ways when we take the time to listen.
