Day 54

This is an old lantern that someone gave me over the weekend. She said that it was in a old barn that was being torn down. The man actually ran over it with the tractor and the glass didn't break, isn't that amazing! It is messed up a little but I still love this piece.  Sort reminds me of something...you see how this glass withstood and didn't break under the pressure of the tractor well I was thinking that I am glad that God is my barrier and my wall that protects me and guards me from the unknown coming my way. He gives me the strength to withstand and not be broken in times of trouble and trying. Yes I  might show a few scars from it but they are a reminder of what I had to face and that I came through in victory.

We lost a dear saint of God in our church this past weekend and I know he is dancing on the streets of gold. But I also know what a hard time his family will face and my heart goes out to them. I want them to know that God will give them the strength to go on and he will fill the voids that are now empty from the loss of their loved one.  It makes me think of my dad and how much I miss him. You still will miss them because there is a special place in your life that is made for that person but the void is made less by the comfort of our Savior that fills the void. Yes I miss my dad and wish I could hug him one more time, wish I could call him on the phone, wish I could go to my mom and dads and snuggle up in the bed next to him one more time but I know that he is in a better place where there is no more pain. And one day I will see him again. My hearts prayer is for my dear friends that are facing the newness of this lost loved one. Love y'all so very much!

Let God comfort you today!

Day 53

Have a great evening everyone!

Day 50, 51, 52

I was out of town this weekend so I am adding my missed days from the weekend! Hope everyone is having a great day! And a few extras from day 50!

Day 49

Good Morning All! Yes I am bright and early this morning, I have a very busy weekend so no post this weekend but I will be taking pictures and I will post all my captures on Monday morning.

Today I had to get some pictures of my beautiful sunflowers I picked up the other day. I am so enjoying these big beautiful flowers on my counter. Never realized how much I loved them until I saw them in the store calling my name the other day.

I was thinking this morning on a flicker of light. As I was praying this morning I kept seeing this little flicker in my eye of a light shining through, not sure what was up with that but anyways. I was thinking sometimes it seems as though we really try to let God's light shine through and them BAM! something distracts us and it seems as though only a flicker here and there is being seen. When things try to creep up on me and distract me from what I know is my first love I have been trying really hard to sing praise songs and just worship my first love because He is my source of joy, hope, love, peace and so many other things in this life. It just that life seems so busy sometimes and I don't want to forget where the source of all the things that keep me sane comes from in this life. Gotta keep my eye on the prize! And that is seeing my glorious Savior one day!

Have a wonderfully joyful day today!

And I couldn't decide which ones I liked best so here a little collection!

Day 48

Good Afternoon! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Trying to think of what to say today but my mind has been kind of foggy since I woke this morning, kind of like this morning.

Well I received one of the kindest compliments the other day and you know a girl loves a compliment. I humbly accepted this compliment because I knew that only with God was this compliment even possible. I pray for God's light to shine in my life and sometimes I wonder if I do my part to shed that marvelous gracious light that he shows me daily and well every once in a while it is nice to hear that a glimpse of that light is truly showing forth in your life. And usually they come when you least expect them to come. I hope that His light continues to shine in my life. Sometimes I feel that barely a glimmer is showing through but as I said yesterday a simple smile goes a long long way!

Have a great day!
As you can see I went through the car wash today and I had my camera!

Day 47

Smile! Yes I know I wasn't smiling in my pictures yesterday but I do love to smile! You never know when it will brighten someones day. If we could look into others lives what would we see, would we see the long miles they have been facing, would we see that a simple smile would have given them a glimpse of hope in their lives! You never know what a smile can bring! A smile can lift your spirit as well as someone elses! A smile is the sunshine in this garden of life! So extend a smile today, maybe to the door greeter at walmart, maybe to your little girl who seems sad, maybe just someone at the gas pump! Let the light shine in your life today!

Smile on!

Day 46

Yes it is me again! Haha! Self Portrait time again! I actually dont mind them too much anymore.

Well I have been kind of quiet around here because well I am just at a lost for words right now. I do have stuff on my mind but stuff I would rather not be known to the whole world so I will just be in my silence for a while. Dont worry I will be back to babbling in no time!

Have a nice evening!
