Truth...more "food" for thought

"The Holy Scriptures were not given to us that we should enclose them in books, but that we should engrave them upon our hearts."
St. John Chrysostom

"There is great value in searching the Scriptures.
There may be a promise in the Word that exactly fits your situation,
but if you are unaware of it, you will be like a prisoner in a dungeon."
Charles H. Spurgeon

Another New dawn....

Makes me think of the scripture, "His mercies are new every morning"!
Every day we have a new chance in life, a new beginning if we want it.

I sat on the porch this morning wrapped in a blanket , coffee in hand, just talking to the Lord,
basking in the warm glow of sunshine on my face, as the birds serenaded me.

Mike came out to join me, making the "warmth" of the morning complete.

First Plants of the Season!


On a rampage!

I am an animal lover! To me animals are just another way the Father blesses us!

BUT----"my" deer and I are going to have to have a little better understanding of the rules and regulations of our backyard.
They have become a bit too zealous. Not only did they eat my pansies a while back but they have almost destroyed three birdfeeders, two I managed to save!

I am going to contact critter repellant.com and order a scent that they will not like. My neighbor has used it and it works.
Am going to have to keep the deer at the edge of the woods for their treats as I plan to have a small flower and vegetable garden this year and don't want them eating it!

I will continue to enjoy them but not in the middle of our backyard!

Emma's Birthday

Saturday was a "Grand-filled" day! We came together to celebrate Emma's 6th, along with her cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents and great-grandparents! We had lots of fun indoors-
watching "I Love Lucy" featuring John Wayne, Emma's hero and target practice with nerf guns,
outside of course.

After the party April and the kids came home with us. April went to a "movie" gala with friends and we kept the kids! We ended up at Pizza Hut and the Water Ice Factory then back to our house for a movie, card playing and crafts!
By 10 pm I could hardly keep my eyes open and Camden was doing card tricks with me and I had an awful time trying to pay attention!
Needless to say when April arrived and gathered the kids, I barely straightened things up, hit the shower and bed! It had been a beautiful day!
