Have a beautiful Sunday

May the Lord bless you this day! I'll be traveling to Tennessee with family and we will be on vacation for the next week. I'll be thinking about you and as God brings you to mind, lifting you up in prayer. See ya soon!

He changed everything

I have played this song before but will leave this post up through Christmas. He is the baby that changed everything. He is our Jesus. Merry Christmas to you and each of your families this year. God bless you!

Happy Sunday....praising Him in all circumstances!

Circle of Friends

My precious friends, Andrea and Alleluiabelle, have passed an award on to me called The Circle of Friends Award. I am humbled by both of these women and how they cherish friendships and take every opportunity to tell their friends they are special.

With this award, I'm supposed to tell you five things about myself that I like to do and then pass it on. Both women passed it on to all of their friends and I will do the same. Please know that I've come to love bloggy land even though I've been absent a lot.

I love to read the Bible. I love quiet time alone with my Lord. I love to watch movies with my hubby and son. I love time at the beach. And I love to look into my children's eyes.

Now it's your turn. Grab that button and tell me about yourself and let's keep passing it on. God bless you.

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 :)
