Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting --- a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thank, You, God for the beauty of Your creation. Help me to always look for it in all that I see and always give thanks to YOU! My cup is running over.

O Lord God
...O Lord God of Israel... Thou art THE God, even thou alone... 2 Ki. 19:15
Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my voice. I make my request known unto thee. I know that you hear me. I know that you hear my voice, my cry. I commit myself unto you. I am in your care, O Lord God of Israel.

For I Am With You
Isaiah 41:10, 13
10) So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
13) For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says; DO NOT FEAR; I WILL HELP YOU.
So many things... So much happening... Hard things to stand... Hard to understand...
Where is God?.... Does He see? .... Does He hear?.... Does He care?...
He replies to me.....
Nothing escapes me.......
I CARE.....
Oh, YES, I see, I hear.... I have not forgotten thee.... I am right beside you.... Holding your hand.
For you see, I AM YOUR GOD... I will strengthen thee... All Things are in my control...
I will help you.......
Because..... I love you!!

Whom Have I In Heaven But YOU?
...God is the strength of my heart and my portion.... It is good for me to draw near to God...
Psalms 73:26b, 28a
Psalms 73:23-26, 28(NLT)
Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.
Whom have I in heaven but you? I desire you more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
But God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.
But as for me, how good it is to be near God!
I have the Sovereign Lord my shelter,
And I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.
Praise God! I have YOU!! My heavenly Father!
Psalms 73:26b, 28a

Regleaning or maybe Rethink This?
Regleaning. Is that a word. I guess not since spell check objected with its little red squiggly line.
Anyway. Word or not I think that I shall post a gleanings from my notebooks of gleanings that I used on my email years back. I think I shall post one a week. Maybe it will uplift someone or help in some way. My so favorite title on my blog page is God is Good. Soooooooooooo since I really don't have a life on my own I will shout praises unto Him as He is the giver of life!
Quote from the book "Three Weddings And A Giggle".
"Seems to me if folks would just get their focus off of themselves and onto God, they'd have fewer problems. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and these things shall be added unto you. That's what the good book says plain and simple." end quote.
The things that sound so simple are a lot of times the hardest things for us to grab hold of. Think on this. You will see how true it is in every way. If we focus on God and seek His kingdom then our wants and desires change, our worries and fears fade, peace and strength and joy will come with that new focus.
Lord, please help us to always seek You first. Help us to find our focus in You for You are the giver of life and hope. Amen.
Love to all.

God bless.

Just Thinking
God is good. I just got through catching up on Jennifer's blogs. I really enjoyed reading them. Such beauty they portrayed. Makes you think about the wondrous God that makes such beauty as the flowers and plants and the beautiful colors and lacy patterns in the knitting. Jennifer's talent and ability to make such pretty things. I looked at Norma' roses pic as well.
God is good and want to always remember to give thanks for the beauty he has given us.
I wish you all well. God is with you in peace and love. Choose to be happy!

Sittin' Waitin'
Just sitting here waiting for my last load of laundry to dry so I can hang it up and go to bed.
Caught up on Jennifer's post. I always enjoy her posts so much. Beautiful pictures and good ideas and thoughts.
Wish I would keep up my posts. Just don't have much to say.
God is good and may He bless you all with His perfect peace.

Beautiful Berrry
Isn't it a gorgeous color. It has a brand new shower and shower walls. No more peeling paint falling into the tub with me. Praise the Lord.
I appreciate all of Norma's time and help in getting this done. She set it all up and has spent a lot of time at my house while the work was done so that I would net have to miss work.
Thank you Norma. I love you.
Thanks for the prayers.
Thank you for praying for me. I missed work today but I am doing tons better now. Will work tomorrow.

I Am Blessed
I have been so blessed this year. I keep thinking I will take the time to blog and show pictures of my many blessing but it just don't seem to be happening.
Over this year I have received so many things from sisters. Just to name a few .... Jennifer gave me her car (Can you imagine ... that sounds like a Mama thing.) I am so enjoying driving it. Dave was so good to help me get everything changed over into my name. I began driving it this summer. I absolutely love it and am praying God bless them abundantly. Norma has blessed me with a sewing machine, picnic table, cook stove not to mention the new clothes and shoes and house repairs. Glenda gave me a complete wardrobe of purses to pick and choose from. I am blessed.
The biggest blessing of all is the love of my three sisters. I pray God bless you all back in great abundance

Hi. I'm Back.
Sorry it has been sooooooooooo long since I last posted. I'm off work today so I have a little bit of time before my mind is inundated with work and children and new school programs.
I am sitting in Norma's blue room. I spent the night last night. We played Bible games until 3 am this morning. I am not use to sleeping late as my schedule does not allow for sleeping in. Sometimes I take a nap during the day on Sunday but the latest I can sleep is 9 on Saturday.
The Bible games were so much fun. I really enjoy playing Bible games.
Keep me in your prayers. My classes for Texas School ready will start very soon. Including unfortunately homework. Pray I am able to promptly do my work and be done with it. I had a terrible time getting to my homework last year. No procrastinating this year.
God is good. I pray all is well with you.

Slowly, Surely (I Hope)
LOL!! This is about my house renovations. I do a little something about every week or two but maybe it will all eventually be. I am very proud and excited about each step.
Love having my new stove with clean paint behind it. (guess I should really clean out the cabinets and decorate the walls?) Thank you, Norma.
Cleaned up the overflow from working on the middle room out of my bedroom so that I could set up my new sewing machine Norma gave me. Love it. (Should I clean off the dresser, too. And maybe decorate a little?)
Got the furniture and bed set up in my extra room. Norma gave me her green and black set, including a new bed when she got her new one. Love it!! ( And yes, should I decorate and fix new curtains?) I did put a green printed quilt on the bed. Yeah me!
Love my newly painted blue room. Heading for the boys play room. (Paint the shelves and decorate. Okay one day I will!)
Norma gave me her sofa, too. I really love the greens and pinks with my pink carpet. Also it is not as big as my old one so looks better in my small living room.
Enough! You get the picture. I am excited about it ALLL! Got low energy and much leg pain and maybe a little bit of lazy but who knows....... One day I will be through and have a nice, cozy house to live in!!
I praise God and pray blessings on all who have helped me and will continue to the finish.
Keep me in your prayers. This has been a rough year at work and at home! But God is faithful and in control. Remember the boys as well. Pray all desicions made is in the very best interest of my boys!! Bethany needs much prayer as well. Pray for her a job and right choices for her life.
Love to you all. God bless.

God is STILL Good.
Been a long time since I posted. Sorry I am so lax. I really enjoy reading other people's blogs so I know I should write more myself.
The boys are taking a nap and I wanted to post and show my new stove Norma gave me but alas I cannot figure out how to post the pics. Since I last posted a pic, Bethany changed my computer to the one Norma gave me and it loads everything onto the Kodak software and I can't seem to figure out how to get it to upload for my blog.
Love the stove thought. It is white with gray thingies that you cook on. (not a technical term but the best I can do.) Got rid of the old nasty vent a hood that I could not get clean so it looks so much nicer and cleaner. God bless Norma.
A lot of things have been done around here and I love it!! There are lots more to do though. Wish I had more energy and less pain after work!!
Enough of all that. God is good and I pray God bless you all with an abundance of peace and good health!!!!

Faith Of The Heart
I have been watching episodes of Star Trek Enterprise on netflix and this song just stick with me. I really feel it has great spiritual meaning. You might want to listen to it on youtube. I like the Russel Watson version found under Star Trek Enterprise Theme Song.
This is the theme song to Star Trek Enterprise and it is really awesome.
Apply it to our faith and belief in the power of the almighty God and it takes on such good meaning and is very uplifting.
Faith Of The Heart lyrics
It's been a long road
Getting from there to here
It's been a long time
But my time is finally near
And I can feel the change in the wind right now
Nothings in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No they're not gonna hold me down
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith, I’ve got faith, faith of the heart
It's been a long night
Trying to find my way
Been through the darkness
Now I've finally had my day
And I will see my dream come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me down no more
No they're not gonna change my mind
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith, I’ve got faith, faith of the heart
I know that we're so cold
We've seen the darkest days
But now the winds I feel
Are only winds of change
I've been through the fire
I've been through the rain
But I'll be flying, oh yeah
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
And no one's gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I've got faith, I’ve got faith, faith of the heart
God is good and in Him lies ALL my faith. Thank, you God, for Your faithfulness and for Your strength that carries me through here in this life. I love You!!!
Getting from there to here
