Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee

I believe Jesus loves me and cares about every detail of my life. He allows me to take time out of a very busy life to truly be joyful for all that He’s provided! This Christmas season I am amazed at the joy He continually blesses me with. The fun stuff like laughing about “Frosty” in the window of my new shop, the friendships and family around me enjoying the journey with me and lots of people I meet each day at the store or just in passing who share my joy in this journey.

I pray you may experiece the truly miraculous joy only He provides that will stop you in the midst of your busy life, if you let it, long enough to stand in awe of His love for you and be Joyful!

Merry Christmas!

Remembering To Remember

A bithday gift consisting of a lengthy conversation with someone I love finished out my celebratory day. Turning a year older makes me appreciate and realize how wise her Godly advise really is.

Her advice: Be sure to write down the miracles God shows you. You think at the time you will rember, but you won’t as the years pass unless they are written down. And rembering in order to share with others is an important part of sharing our faith and the reality of our Saviors love for us. Our faith can grow when we remember how much God really cares for us in a very persoanal way.

99

I’ve been enjoying the song “Never ending reckless love of God…” while custom picture framing the beautiful painting below. He leaves the 99 for one such as myself. He finds me and brings me back to his flock.

After: (Coming soon… stay tuned.)

This and other beautiful paintings are a part of a wonderful collection at Immanuel Baptist Church, 1771 Bonham St, Paris, Texas. This is an amazing place and an amazing church family. http://www.facebook.com/Immanuel-Baptist-Church-154206037939467

Sharing My Quiet Time

He was waiting for me. All animals seem to have an internal clock and keep their patterns and schedules. Even helping and encouraging us with their actions to keep our habits.

Praise God! Praise God! Praise God!

Our doctor called with the good news that made our hearts beat with praise! Hope for the future is restored! “It’s benign!” Those words mean so much and resonate with so many. Thank you for all your prayers. And our prayers continue with those who are still waiting for hope to be restored.
