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 love the many different wax melt cubes you can find these days for your electric wax melt warmer. My Sister gifted me with this cute thing with so many different flavors of wax melt for my birthday. I love the smells but oh do I ENJOY the little things of life.
I brought home one of their cookie bars and had it the next day with coffee. So good.
We stopped at Aldi's coming home as I've never been to Aldi's but so many people tell me constantly about the fresh fruit and produce and just different things you might find there. I did come home with quite a bit and YES the fresh fruit and produce was the best ever but this cheese! Oh my goodness! I am a cheese and cracker gal so I just had to give this a try. Wish I had of bought more while there.
We sure had a lot of fun but can I just tell you that after a ten hour day outing with friends, I was pooped! My jaws hurt worse than my feet from laughing so much that day.
A group of us got together the next day to do a little yoga and mercy I needed the stretching and moving for sure. I blamed my "more extensive yoga workout" on Brittany's Cupcake Shoppe!!! All things in moderation right?
If you are interested in the recipe here is the link from Pinterest. *I used regular red apples*
As my birthday month is drawing to an end I do want to say how thankful I am that the King of all Kings created me in His Image. My prayer to become more of Him and less of myself. I'll close with a devotional reading today that was seemed to have come at the appointed time needed.
I hope that you all have a most wonderful ENDING to February.
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Belated Happy Birthday! Hope the year ahead is filled with blessings. What is the name of your devotion book? That was a special reading . . .blessings!
ReplyDeleteThank you Vickie. I replied to your email just now. Hope it went through. God is sure using that little sweet devotional book to minister to me.
DeleteThat devotional was so perfect and lovely.Thank you for sharing it with us. I did need that today. And I love that you've had such a wonderful birthday month...so many fun and sweet times with family and friends. God is good!! And now, "time marches on"...and March is just around the corner! I know God will have great things for us in the new month too. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pam. March is surely coming round the corner and before we know it we will be MARCHED into April.
DeleteWhat a lovely birthday outing you had! That cupcake shop would be my downfall for sure.
ReplyDeleteI like those wax warmers and have one in the bathroom as well as the laundry room.
Beautiful devotional and such a blessing. Have a great week. Granny M
GM, that dang cookie bar sure got me in a mess! Now I am wanting to bake some! LOL! Love my wax warmers too.
DeleteGood morning Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI have read your inspiring blog for awhile but haven't commented.. apologies! But reading the devotional you shared, I knew I had to tell you that scripture is my "life verse" too. ❤️ When someone shares it, etc., it makes me feel the Lord is whispering in my ear. Thank you! For Lent I'm reading Corrie ten Boom's devotional and in yesterday's writing she quoted this also.💞
Happy belated birthday!
Blessings, Linda
Oh thank you Linda for stopping by to visit. I can't figure out how to have new ladies subscribe. I am going to see about that. But yes, that scripture has been my life verse. I cling to it often, especially in the times we are living in now. Thanks for the birthday wishes and do you have a blog?
DeleteHappy Birthday Cindy! You sure had some fun! Nothing better than celebrating with old friends, eating and shopping! You've been busy in the kitchen too~ the apple muffins sound so good! Your faith is always inspiring, thank you~ Happy March!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Thanks Jenna. Marty sure is enjoying those apple muffins. They even turned out pretty! LOL!
DeleteIt sounds like the perfect birthday! I love when my face hurts from laughing more than my feet. Your apple muffins sound delicious and my hubby loves Aldi's. I am lazy so usually just pop down to our local Krogers. lol. Have a wonderful week- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLaughter sure is a good dose of medicine for me. I enjoyed my first trip to Aldi's. I honestly wish EVERY PLACE made you pay a quarter and give you back the quarter when you returned the cart! Maybe more folks would be kind enough to do that. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOh yes, February has been a great month and I'm looking forward to a great March. I enjoyed the pictures of your good time with friends, those times are always special. Have a great week. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteThanks Miss Mary. Happy March.
DeleteWhat would we do without good friends in our lives?? It looks like you had a wonderful time and oh that bake shop!! You sure made some good food, my friend! I have one of those electric wax warmers. I need to turn it on more often. Aren’t we thankful that God loves us anyway?? Have a great week, dear friend. ❤️
ReplyDeleteHappy March dear friend.
DeleteWhat a wonderful birthday month Cindy! There is nothing like a tired jaw from laughing after a great time with friends, those boots were something else! The bakery goodies sure looked good, and the yoga class and friends - what a great way to get exercise with friends. Love using things up before they have to be thrown away - your apple muffins, and smoothie sure looked good! And my, what a yummy plate of food you enjoyed Friday night! Happy March blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet Marilyn.
DeleteSounds like you had a great birthday month! Those boots are a hoot!! All of the food looks yummy, especially the baked goods. Your muffins too! Yum and Marty approved! You are making me tired with your busy social life. :)
