Splash of Color

I took these pics while we were out in the RV. The warmth and colors give such hope that spring is just around the corner! Enjoy this beautiful Saturday...

His Plan

Here's a great reminder to us from my bible study, "The Patriarchs." 


“God means for you and me to cast our utter dependency only on Him.  His plan does not depend on any human. He has well-planned a fruitful life for you. Nothing and no one critical to YOUR GOD-PLANNED FUTURE can fail to come through once God says it’s time. 


No human has the power to overlook what God determines to oversee.”

A big YEAH!! That’s God’s sovereignty!

The Lake

We went to a nearby lake in the RV this past weekend. It was such a treat. Rick had taken off Thursday and Friday so we had a long weekend. The kids came out Friday afternoon for dinner, and then Jonah stayed a couple of nights with us. He and I spent one afternoon exploring every nook and cranny around the lake and (as he said) "in the forest." What a fantastic opportunity to be out in God's creation and see the wonder of it all through the eyes of this five year old!!

(Elly has her own take of the weekend, too!)

Waterhose Wreath

I made this last week for my patio. My goal was to create a wreath with NO purchases for the supplies. Check! I did it.



Have a great day!

Life's Tug of War

Life can seem ungrateful ~ and not always kind...
Life can pull at your heartstrings ~ and play with your mind....

Life can be blissful ~ and happy and free...
Life can put beauty ~ in the things that you see...

Life can place challenges ~ right at your feet...
Life can make good ~ of the hardships we meet...

Life can overwhelm you ~ and make your head spin...
Life can reward those ~ determined to win...

Life can be hurtful ~ and not always fair...
Life can surround you ~ with people who care...

Life clearly does offer ~ its Up and its Downs...
Life's days can bring you ~ both smiles and frowns...

Life teaches us to take ~ the good with the bad...
Life is a mixture ~ of happy and sad...

SO...

Take the Life that you have ~ and give it your best...
Think positive, be happy ~ let God do the rest...

Take the challenges that life ~ has layed at your feet...
Take pride and be thankful ~ for each one you meet...

To yourself give forgiveness ~ if you stumble and fall...
Take each day that is dealt you ~ and give it your all...

Take the love that you're given ~ and return it with care...
Have faith that when needed ~ it will always be there...

Take time to find the beauty ~ in the things that you see...
Take life's simple pleasures ~ let them set your heart free...

The idea here is simply ~ to even the score...
As you are met and faced with ~ Life's Tug of War .
