{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...

Wednesday in the Word---How are you doing?

 Recently I ran into a lady that I haven't seen in a while  and I asked her how was she doing and her answer was, "Well, I'd like to say the same thing that everyone else says "fine" but the truth is.... I'M NOT FINE and I need prayer. It sort of caught me off guard to be honest as I was expecting the same answer we get and we give a lot... "I'M FINE" . Now don't misunderstand me because as I know there are certain people that we come in contact with that WE DARE NOT ASK THEM HOW THEY ARE DOING because THEY ARE NEVER DOING FINE . I hear some of you saying "Amen".    But what I am wondering is this.... Do we sometimes tell others we're fine because we think that others expect us to be fine? Are we afraid that if we are honest that it might make others feel uncomfortable? Do we think that by being truthful that it would cause that person to doubt us? Question our security in Christ? Reject us? Or could it simply be that w...

Happy Monday!

Well I must say I've had a great weekend. A busy one but a good one. I got to see my oldest grandgirl make a goal in her soccer game on Saturday and then that night I was privileged to be the guest speaker for a Mother-Daughter banquet at a nearby church and then a great Mother's Day on Sunday. I hope that you had a wonderful Mother's Day too. After being pampered with cards, flowers, Bath and Body, gift cards for a massage, pedi and facial I think I am liking having grown daughters that knows what their mama likes!  I have a few more Laundry room things to show you today . You all have been so sweet to be a part of my Laundry room makeover! Remember this picture? Well my cabinets did not need anything done to them but a good cleaning. So my goal was to place little items I loved on top of the cabinet.   Spray painted this basket yellow. I found this cute bottle at Walmart marked down to 75 cents and added some blue fabric softener.   Talked my younge...

Yard Sale Cabinet Makeover

Remember when I showed you this cute little cabinet I bought at a yard sale? I decided that it would go in my laundry room. We cleaned it up and my man gave it a fresh coat of white paint. He's laughing because he knows he is going on the blog! Then I decided to use some paper that was gray and yellow with the chevron look and modge podge it on the cabinet. So I trimmed the paper to fit and I done 3 coats of modge podge letting it dry in between coats. While drying I began to decide on the things I wanted to use on the little cabinet for decor.     I just had to use my little clothespin plant holder. I found this little sign at the Dollar General and thought it would be perfect to use on my cabinet. I found this cute camera at Ross and fell in love with it! The camera had just enough blue in it that I knew that it would go great with my gray, yellow and blues I was using. AND I just liked it! I had found this basket for a 25 cents...

Wednesday in the Word-Random Acts Of Kindness

It is amazing what a simple act of kindness can do for another person isn't it? We are living in times that the motto is "Do for yourself", "Never be on the giving end but take all that you can take". Or better yet... "I've NO time to show kindness to others" .    There are so many different ways to show ACTS of KINDNESS that hardly take a lot of effort. Acts of kindness doesn't have to cost a ton of money. Acts of kindness can merely be the most simple thing in life but yet make the most impact. Sometimes an act of kindness can simply be a hug, a pat on the back, or words of affirmation. Acts of kindness can be taking just a few minutes of your time to call a person just to see how they are doing or sending them a card to simply say, "Thinking about you today". A lot of times the greatest act of kindness is sharing ourselves with someone else. In Matthew 10:42   Jesus speaks of sharing a cup of water. He isn’t speaking...

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...
