Friday Funnies

Today is Friday Funnies! My sweet friend, Kim, hosts this fun meme every Friday and gives us a chance to link up and share some fun with one another. My funny is a clip of Brian Regan. I hope you enjoy.

Thankful Thursday

Thank you, Lori, for hosting Thankful Thursday this week. How I look forward to this time when I am reminded of God's goodness...I have so much to be thankful for.

Thank you, Jesus, for your lovingkindness. Thank you, that Your grace is sufficient for me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 "And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

I am thankful this week for God providing new renters for our home. These renters are family members and love the Lord. They are in full time ministry so they are excited to be able to use this home to bless others. This is an answer to their prayers and ours!
James 5:16 "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much"

I am thankful for my son who has shown great compassion this week for those he knows are hurting or ill. He has begun to reach out and ask how he can be praying and it really is a great tune to this mother's ears. 1 Peter 3:8 "Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous"

I am thankful for the blogging community who came alongside of me and offered encouragement and prayer support for my daughter. I truly don't have the correct verbage of my heart's cup that is running over with gratitude but I am so thankful.
Galatians 6:2 "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ"

I am continually blessed and thankful for my beloved who greets each day unto the Lord and walks side by side with me. We will be celebrating our anniversary on February 1st. His smile still renders me speechless. Song of Solomon 2:10 "My beloved spoke, and said to me: Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away"

Happy Thursday to you! May the Lord bless you!

Karen at Homespun Simplicity was doing a "Ten Things I Love" meme and asked if we would like to participate. There I go throwing caution to the wind again...but really, how hard could this one be? She gave me the letter "L".

Here goes...I love

1. life given to me by my Lord, Jesus
2. lemonade

10. love letters

So there you go. Ten things I love that begin with the letter "L". If you want to participate, just leave me a message and I will give you a letter to use. Come on...if I can do it..lol

Blessings to you! Debra Kaye

So undeserving....yet so blessed!

My friend, Michele, gave me this beautiful 'Color My Life Beautiful' award. I was so touched by her words of love and encouragement. If you are here today, would you please pick up this beautiful bouquet and a hug from me also. God makes beautiful people like Michele...and makes beautiful roses...I think you are one of them!

Also, my precious friend, Denise, awarded me this 'Helping Hand'. You know, coming from this sweet lady, I don't even feel worthy. She was the first person who showed me how to highlight a name and link up to Mr. Linky! lol She is the epitome of helping out in the blogosphere!

Michele also gave me the 'Blessing' award. I look at this light shining and can only hope that there are days that Christ shines through in me. I do feel undeserving of this award but feel so very blessed receiving it from Michele.

Thank you, my friends, for blessing me with your words of encouragement this week. And for those of you who are here...remember how much Jesus loves you and colors your life beautiful and grab that beautiful award! Blessings to you and a great big ((hug))!

Consider the lilies

Matthew 6:27-30 "Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?"

They certainly are beautiful....


Blessings to you this day that the Lord has made.

Happy Sunday

Interview by Stacey

My friend, Stacey, recently was interviewed by Alicia. It was a cute interview! The more I get to know both of these girls, the more there is to love. Stacey asked us if we wanted to be interviewed and I threw caution to the wind and went for it. She emailed my questions to me and I tried diligently to grab caution back, but sigh, I'm guessing I'm going for it.




1. What have you gained since starting your blog? (Alicia asked me this one and I thought it was good, so I am passing it on!)

I actually love this question! First, I have gained some wisdom. Second, I have gained a lot of bloggy friendships that have blessed me immeasurably. Third, I have gained some computer skills!

2. How many TVs do you have in your house and what is your favorite TV show?

We have 3 floors (I don't kow why I feel the need to qualify this answer) and two living rooms, therefore, we have 5 tv's. I also feel the need to say I hardly ever watch tv. But, I do love to watch the news (sad, I know). And I love American Idol or Dateline or 20/20.

3. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I think I would want to be a missionary and go to Africa but to be honest, I cry at the commercials so I don't know how effective I would be in that realm. I leave the food bank in tears most times.

So...I have always wanted to go to Greece.



4. What's under your bed?

I checked to make sure......there is nothing under my bed.

5. If you had one day to do anything you wanted, with no limits, what would it be and why?

This question hit me hard...like a ton of bricks. No limits means I don't have time or dimensional constraints. I would take my daughter by the hand and take her back to when she loved Jesus. I would sit with her and try to find that moment when I knew I was going to lose her and I would fight harder for her. I would pray harder for her. I would not let go. Part of me wants to delete this answer and put something that is clever or funny but that would be so dishonest. This is my answer. This is what I would want to do on my one day to do anything with no limits. I would sit with my child, hand in hand, whispering to her the Word. Reassuring her of His love. Watching her face without the hardness of the world's sin etched acrossed it, basking in Him.

Thank you, Stacey, for my interview questions. Hugs to everyone today!
