Baby Girl is One

When you pray, you should go into your room and close the door and pray to your Father who cannot be seen. Your Father can see what is done in secret, and he will reward you. Matthew 6:6

Praise Him what a beautiful sunny day here in Southern NH! It is close to lunch time and I am hungry. I have a big salad in mind for a good nutritious lunch. It will involve some sort fish or shrimp too. Doesn't that sound yummy?

This is a video of my my great niece by marriage Abby. She is one! Happy Birthday baby girl!

How To Flatten Your Tummy

TGIF This week seemed long to me with all of the rain. Speaking of that it is clouding up again this afternoon. We are expecting more rain.

Where ever you are I hope your days ahead are wonder filled!
On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that you've been talking to God too much, and not listening enough.

Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you become quiet and listen to God. You've learned how to talk and ask well. Time to learn how to listen and hear, because God has been answering you.

Passing Through Waters

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. Isaiah 43:2

I love you for that! You are always with me every step of the way Lord. Praise Him!

52 and foggy this early morning 5:30 AM EST as I start to write. We had a big storm last night and lots of rain. All I see ahead is rain for the next three days never mind the last many days too. This kind of weather makes my body ache horribly. I have been close to taking strong drugs lately but I have managed to hold off so far. I am also experiencing an abcessed tooth as well and taking penecillin. It is not going away. I will need to see my doctor.

My niece sent me some really nice memo pads and pencils plus a sachet with the most wonderful scent to it. I am going to have to ask her what it is? My son said it was one of his favorite scents. He named something off.  The first pad I am using it titled to remember. I really need that to help me seriously I do. I write down a lot of things so I don't forget them or to do them.

This morning I am thinking about my grandsons. Lord watch over them and keep them safe today, tomorrow and all other days
.
My feel good Nana feelings are waning. Each time I see them I want to see more of them. Praise Him! I know He sees this.

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that you deserve happiness just because.

There is nothing you need to do to deserve happiness. There are no 'minimal requirements' for you to fulfill before you can claim happiness. You deserve happiness simply by virtue of having been born. That's it. Nothing more is required. Be happy.

Gardening to Live Longer

When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, when you turn to the Lord your God and obey His voice. Deuteronomy 4:30

50 feels like 48 degrees and overcast early this morning in Southern NH. More rain is expected today! Another day napped away. My pain levels are elevated because of the cool damp weather.

I have been thinking about camping so much lately. I would love to take my grandsons ages 2 and 4. Of course with my sons too and DIL would be nice. A campfire and smores. Swimming and fishing in the lake. Camping out under the tall pine trees. Hopefully with no rain good weather! I know of a great place nearby us here in Southern NH.

I am looking forward to a way more fun Wednesday! Today is a present tomorrow is a gift. Praise Him!

More of Monday

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? Psalms 56:3-4

So here in Southern NH we are even cooler this morning at 50 feels like 47 and of course light rain. Today is the day He made Praise Him!

My TV auxilliary box is not working. I have to take it up the street for the cable company to look at it. I missed TV last night. Instead I read. I started reading Wind in the Willows. My favorite book ever. I read two chapters and drifted off to sleep blissfully thinking about the animals and their riverside life.

I do not know what I will craft this afternoon. My back has been hurting bad and it is hard for me to sit for extended periods of time. Tomorrow is grocery shopping day. Hopefully my friend takes me.

I love white cheese pizza sans tomato sauce!  It doesn't give me heartburn. Get your favorite pizza recipes here.

I must have a good life! Do you?

Have a wonder filled Monday and week ahead!

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that it's okay to receive.

Have you been the giver for so long that you have forgotten how to receive? Allow others to give you some of the love that you give so freely. Seek a balance between

Such a Beautiful Sunday

When a person's steps follow the Lord, God is pleased with his ways. If he stumbles, he will not fall, because the Lord holds his hand. Psalms 37:23-24

Cool today 56 with a drizzle the weather report says. Another good day to stay in and have fun. I need to do some organizing and cleaning. I won't get much done. I have to be quiet while my son is here. It is his only day off.

I might get a walk in to take some pretty pictures. It looks like the sun is trying to come out now as I write this. Praise Him for today! Noooooo it was way too cool and windy today. I napped instead.

The Pothole Gardner Enjoy!

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that you are beautiful.

Even when you feel ugly or depressed or guilty or ashamed, there is an inner spark in you which is light. This light is your beauty. This light is your reflection of God. You are a child of God, thus you are beautiful.

I hope you enjoy the week ahead and that it is wonder filled and fun!

Jewelry Journal

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. Ecclesiastes 9:10

Really rainy and cool 54 this morning! Good day for snuggling under the covers and sipping some soup. Sleeping and watching TV. I was going to make some jewelry perhaps earrings for myself but I have company coming over for lunch soon.  So I will be doing none of the above. I still need to work some more on organizing the scrapbook pages. I won't be doing this until later on. I am so grateful for company! It gets lonely when you are by yourself a lot. I love that I have Him! I am getting used to it but don't like it. Most people my age are working all day long. When I move here in the next year and I am settled down I will then make a great effort to meet more people than I know here already. I just can't imagine leaving such a good area for the medical care that I need. I won't be moving from this city here in Southern NH.

Tuesday I have plans to go grocery shopping with a friend. Maybe I should treat her to a meal at the restaurant inside the grocery store for taking me grocery shopping. They have a great selection of food to choose from and a place to sit and eat. One thing you should never do is grocery shop hungry. I really want to try to use coupons again. The trick to doing well with coupons is to go to stores that double coupons. We have none of that here.

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that infinite possibilities are born of faith.

Do you think that's air you breathe; that's earth you walk on? All matter is God's creation. And the source is faith. When you have so much faith that you become one of faith, infinite possibilities open to you.

What are ACEO's?

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Colossians 3:23

Today Is National Doughnut Day you can get one for free!

What is an ACEO?

A.C.E.O. stands for: Art Cards, Editions and Originals.

An ACEO is "always" 2.5 x 3.5 inches in portrait or landscape orientation.

Small collectible pieces of original art or a signed "Open" or "Limited" Edition reproduction print by the artist. Designed on the Artist Trading Cards (ATC) which are 'traded' ...ACEO's are for sale to collectors. They allow people all around the world to collect and sell art because of their affordability and that the small size provides ease of shipping.

I have made many ACEO's using all sorts of mediums such as ink, fabric, pressed flowers, vintage playing cards and much more even watercolor. My favorite medium is drawing in black ink. I should be a tatoo artist but I use my right hand to draw with in ink for therapy. Here are some examples of ACEO's made by me Glenna Normyle

Beautiful Irises Photography by me Glenna Normyle

The irises are in full bloom around here in Southern NH. They are my favorite flower. This picture I took is looking straight into the inside of an iris. These are a light purple. I love the exotic colors such as lime. I have yet to see it growing anywhere though. Some irises have been made to smell good. The most common one you see are the tall bearded irises.

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that no matter how good you try to be to others, you will occasionally hurt them. Forgive yourself for it.

The same will happen with them. Forgive them for it.

I do!

I just found this recipe it looks interesting! Stuffed chicken and melted strawberries Yum! I will have to try it. Maybe!

It is going to be a toasty day going up to 75 degrees per the weather chart. The breeze from the car window was a really nice coolness. I went out this morning for a doctor's appointment at 11:00 AM It was warm in the sun. It is a bright clear and sunny day at 67 degrees currently. My son dropped his car off for its' annual inspection and an oil change. His car is across the street behind where we live or in front of us but definitely south of us right now getting an inspection and oil change. We walked home from the garage. I will tell you something when I first moved to this area there was a man over there that was trying to get my attention from that garage more than once when I was walking nearby it on the street. I finally got to see him today. Or maybe it was someone else? I don't know. It pretty much looked like the same man.

Do you know what kind of moth this is? I know!

I'm not perfect, but He loves me, He chose me and He has a plan for my life. "He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my defense; I shall not be moved." Psalms 62:6
HAPPY JUNE 1, 2012! TGIF I hope you all have a wonder filled weekend. We are supposed to get rain! WOO HOO
