A beautiful reminder..........

I heard this song for the first time on my friend April's blog last year. As I was out and about with my Mom yesterday, I heard it playing and I just had to stop and take it all in. So as you are pulling out your Christmas trees, ornaments, boxes, decorations, etc...as you go shopping to look for the perfect gift for that someone special, please remember the one true perfect gift has been given and this baby changed everything for all of us. His name is Jesus. Amen.











May the Lord bless you abundantly today. Big hugs from me to you!

Blue Monday

Good morning everyone! Talk about a bloggy break! I'd tell you all about it but instead I'm linking up with Smiling Sally and splashing some of the most incredible blue your way. I'm especially proud of this blue. I hope you love it as much as I do!


This is my beautiful mother and I celebrating her 67th birthday yesterday. She is so lovely.

This is my son and my nephew, Jason, who looks just like Joshua at that age. This picture really stirs emotions in me. We were taking my son's senior pictures and we went to Memorial Island and as we were snapping pics by the penta-structure the little one was talking to my son whom he adores. This just reminds me of the bit of time that passes as they are little feet and then they become young men.

My son is one of the most patriotic young men I know. He has a love for this country that can sometimes make my heart feel like it's going to just explode with pride. This statue is a dedication to the POW's and the MIA's. Joshua will be enlisting after he graduates and I think you can see the look on his face. The men and women who have fought for the freedom in this country that we have will never be forgotten in this young man's heart. He will continue their legacy....and with pride.

It stands for our freedom....and you can't take that away....not on this young man's post!

Joshua and his younger cousin, Brendan.

We will be making a booklet of his senior pictures for our family this year. It's going to encompass many more pictures just like these. We were really happy with how they turned out.

Thank you for sticking with me as I overflow with maternal pride. I pray the Lord blesses you today.

Word for Wednesday

Luke 12:27 " Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all of his glory was not arrayed like one of these"

May the Lord bless you this day. May you consider the lilies and smile because you know that God is still on the throne and loves you :)

A tune for Tuesday

This song is by Hillsong and is entitled "From the Inside Out". I pray it blesses you today.








God bless you!

Then Sings My Soul Saturdays

I'm linking with Amy and the girls today and sharing a song by Kari Jobe called "My Beloved". I hope it blesses you wherever you are at today....because no matter where that is at, you are His beloved and He loves you. There is no greater joy than knowing that fact!

Where my heart is today............

I know it's not Word for Wednesday......but I was reading this Psalm and it spoke volumes to me and I just wanted to post it for you. I hope it speaks to you, as well.

Psalm 27:4 "One thing I have desired of the Lord, That I will seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord, All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple"

God bless you!
