{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...

Child Like Faith-Wednesday in the Word

To me there is something that is so magical about a child. Their innocence for one but their simplicity of life and their unwavering faith speaks volumes to me. 

They Trust...   
Children know how to trust without hesitancy.

 
Children are TRANSPARENT 
They are not good at hiding their flaws but they QUICK to confess their wrongs.

Children are CAREFREE...
They can focus and marvel in the moment because they are not entangled by the complications and distractions of this life.
Children are INSISTENT.
They never tire of asking questions and learning.

Children are SPONTANEOUS...
Children are always game for a new adventure. They do not want to put off until tomorrow what they believe can be done today.

 Children are IMAGINATIVE...
Children see possibilities where many may see problems.

Children are JOYFUL...
A child’s joy is not so much based on the circumstances about them as it is in the people they love being with them.

Children Love genuinely....
Without conditions.


 

Children are not afraid to embrace the unknown....
They are quick to reach out.
 Yes, there is something magical about a child....
The faith of a little one...should move us, inspire us and lead us.
 So many lessons we can learn from the children for LIFE....

And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6
Jesus delights in child-like faith.

Our youngest grandbaby Kyleigh just celebrated her 4th birthday so a great big shout out to KY...


Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    She is precious and beautiful! Happy birthday to her! Cindy, this post touches me deeply...the photos, the emphasis on trust, everything. I have a phrase that I use quite regularly..."wonder filled". I took this from "wonderful", expect by using the term "wonder filled" I am talking about something deeper...something magical, something so beautiful. The photos you are sharing here...the expression of wonder on her, are exactly what I mean when I use the term "wonder filled"....filled with wonder, in awe, like an innocent child seeing something for the first time. I find it really sad that, as adults, we often lose this sense of wonder. God is amazing.
    I want to thank you so much for your kind comment on my blog post and for your prayers, it means so much to me.

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...
