{May Has Arrived}

  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...

{Better late than never}

 Good afternoon to everyone. Seems I have surely been behind on blogging as of late. The term "Can't get with the program" seems to be my motto. LOL! But, I am here today.  I have been under the weather for about 10 days but feeling much better this afternoon. God surely has been right by my side. I believe in giving God praise and just want to lift His banner high tonight. Give a little praise with me friends because He is surely a good and merciful father. 


My September focus sure came at the perfect time for me. 


I was gifted this Thanksgiving catcus about three months ago and it was just a baby. It's growing and so much so that I have already repotted twice. 

My favorite grandson, only grandson....a senior this year and his picture is up on the fence at our local football field as he plays football. We are so proud of our Conner. 


Football game fan club.



Our Adalynn, (Ada) started cheerleading this year and she is doing remarkable. We might just have a cheerleader here!


Our sweet Annaleigh is on her 2nd year playing soccer and she is doing so good. Scored three goals this weekend. 


Anyone else like a Chef salad with everything you can imagine in it besides me?

A friend sent this to me and it made me laugh out loud but oh so true to mention!

I will close with this tonight as it sure spoke volumes to me. I hope that you all have a wonderful week ahead of you. Stay safe, stay well and stay in the WORD! No better place to be. 

*A special thanks to several of you sweet blogging friends* It's always nice to know that you are missed. 

Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    I'm so glad you're feeling better. It seems a shame to feel under the weather in Fall.
    Your grandchildren excel in different sports and keep you busy attending games. I think cheerleader Adalynn is the cutest little cheerleader I've ever seen!

    So glad you are feeling better. Praying you will regain your strength and keep going strong in the Lord. Yes, in His Word is the BEST place to be. We are starting our Ladies' Bible study back up today after our summer hiatus, so I am looking forward to that. Love seeing all the happy pictures of your family. Your grandson has certainly become a very handsome young man!! I can imagine he is a wonderful ball player too!! What fun to enjoy those football games as a family. And those sweet girls are so precious. Your family certainly keeps you busy, but in a wonderful way. Praying you will have a wonderfully blessed fall season, So glad you are back, and yes, you were missed!!!

    Hi Cindy, I enjoyed all your pictures! Sorry to hear you have been under the weather. Sometimes we just need to take a break. I seem to be blogging about twice a week now. So many things to do everyday, even if that means taking breaks from the computer. Enjoy the rest of your week and I pray you have a complete recovery!

    Glad to hear that you're on the mend, Cindy. Your granddaughters are growing so quickly. I didn't know they had cheerleaders in elementary school.

    Thanks for sharing the newspaper clip. I definitely need to learn some patience. Lol

    I am so sorry that you’ve been sick, Cindy! I do pray for you everyday, however. I thought maybe you were on a vacation with your hubby.
    Your Conner is so handsome and the girls are adorable. Thank you for always sharing your special readings with us and reminders to praise God in all things. Have a great week 😘😘

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...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{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...
