Wonder Filled Wednesday

We live by what we believe, not by what we can see. 2 Corinthians 5:7

That is true if you do. I do! Do you?

It is 72 and cloudy (overcast) this afternoon. Last night we had rain and thunderstorms. Ohhh we are supposed to go to 81 today with more rain showers. Wash that pollen away. My eyes were very crusty this morning. I am allergic to tree pollen but I endured an outdoor fishing trip to be with my sons and grandsons. My eyes have been a mess since. Beautiful cherries in the summertime! A bowl of cherries! Cherry pie! Cherry cola!

In between all of this I do like to read online. I am an artist/designer, blogger, crafting, indoor gardening, love to cook, for now doing scrapbooking, swapping at www.swap-bot.com and bidding for free things at Listia https://www.listia.com/signup/256628 it is free to sign up and they give you points to start bidding on auctions and when you have an auction and it is over I get points. Great way to yard sale your home online and collect your favorite things. I get my scrapbook and art supplies on Listia. Sometimes I will pay for shipping. You don't have to buy anything you bid with your points. It is a lot of fun. Good way to clean out your destash. Good way to give and get so many different things. I like the books and gardening items in the home section too. Of course I am always searching for ME products.

Thank you! Being a Nana to two grandsons is the best!

PRAISE BE TO HIM!

Terrific Time

We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love Him. They are in the people He called, because that was his plan. Romans 8:28

He sure does!

Yesterday I went fishing with my two sons and two grandsons. We went to Lake Massebesic fishing only no swimming is allowed. It was hot out but cool in the shade. My 4 yr old grandson caught three fish beating his uncle who caught two. I watched my two year old grandson most of the time. He pushed his large yellow dump truck all over. When I say all over that dump truck went everywhere. At first he was so mad because we were under pine trees and so on the ground there were a lot of pine needles and sticks plus the tree roots. It was all jamming up the trucks wheels. Then I showed him how to clear it out. He was much happier. He played in a small hole of black dirt we found and touched a fish plus played with the worms. His brother was screeching and running at times. He liked the fishing and catching part but not the baiting and releasing of the fish which his uncle did. The baby found a bobber too. What an excellent day we had. We went to my sons house afterwards and BBQed and hung out in the nice cool A/C the baby slept the whole time. He was worn out. My son (uncle) helped my four year old grandson get through a part of a video game where he and Daddy were stuck in. They were playing Batman Legos on the giant screen TV. My grandson at age four can play the game and actually understands it. Knows what he is doing and why. Amazing! Awesome! I had a teriffic time! We all did!

This morning it is overcast and 59. I don't think we had any rain yesterday. That's a first for Memorial Day. Today it is supposed to go up to 88 and thunderstorm too. My son is on vacation all week the son I live with. I was going to get to working on the scrapbooks I know there is more I can do to work on them without spreading stuff everywhere in this small space we have.

"Your greatest creation is always going to be your life's story." - Jonathan Harris

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that a successful relationship requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

Always with the same person, but deeper and deeper every time. Each time on a whole new level you together open in love and discover the truth of your beloved anew. There is no limit to the beauty of your beloved. If you think you've reached the end, stop generalizing.

Memorial Day 2012

We do not want you to become lazy. Be like those who through faith and patience will receive what God has promised. Hebrews 6:12

It is sunny this morning at 8:30 AM EST in  southern NH  It is Memorial Day 2012 a day to remember those who are missing POW's and those who have served in our military and lost their lives. It is a lot of people. We have Arlington Cemetary in Washington, DC only one of many.

I forgot to publish this yesterday! So you will get two posts today! 

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

Sometimes we get overwhelmed with the details and complexities of our lives. Sometimes we need some help to get untangled, to gain a new perspective. Ask for help. Help may come in human or divine form. It may be seen or unseen. Ask, and ye shall

Missed You Yesterday

We believe with our hearts, and so we are made right with God. And we use our mouths to say that we believe, and so we are saved. Romans 10:10

I do with all my heart and soul!

Happy Birthday to my son, yesterday, you turned 31! I have a nice dinner planned for tonight.

Wow I sure must have been busy yesterday. I didn't blog. I went shopping for groceries. I was exhausted from the heat 88 and humidity at 81% It feels like FL in southern NH! I slept well with the A/C going and woke up in a freezer this morning. Not for long the temperatures are inching up to 82 today it is clear and sunny. Rain is soon to follow for the next couple of days. Of course I can't remember a Memorial Day that it hasn't rained. Tears from Heaven! Remember those who have gone before us especially those who have fought in the many wars the USA has been involved in. God bless them and our country. This whole world!

I am going to bake a cake here sooner than later the longer I wait the hotter it gets. With an oven on you can literally roast in my place. I can't open the windows. The pollen count is way too high! You can see it everywhere outside. Yellow powder and dust on everything swirling around in the wind. Coughing and sneezing runny scratchy eyes are my allergy symptoms. Even with prescription medicine and steroid nose spray. I still suffer a bit. Without it forget it Praise Him I have the medicine and spray. Praise Him for my medical care and good doctors.

 I missed this message from God yesterday so here it is

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that how bad things may look right now means nothing, - it's how good they can be with God's help that counts.

In life you can absolutely count on one thing, - everything can turn around in one day, in one minute sometimes. Don't you dare to give up, - you might be a moment away from a windfall.

How to Make Loaded Baked Potato Do you know how? I am going to look it up at www.recipe.com Be right back! Well I found this.......there is a recipe for twice baked potatoes there too.

http://www.recipe.com/loaded-baked-potato-casserole/

I bake the potatoes then we have sour cream, butter, bacon bits and shredded cheese to top the potato. You can use chives too. My son said no chives for his birthday dinner. I am making a sirloin steak with petite and green beans. Yellow "butter" cake thanks to Duncan Hines oh and Betty Crocker made the chocolate frosting just for me. No sprinkles my son said I offered. Plenty of milk and orange soda too.

Great article on sunscreens! Use it! I do now #50 not "#15" #50 says it is waterproof  I don't believe it I put a lot of extra on all day long if I am outside. I still get a tan but I don't burn I have had way too many burns.

Fun Friday

We are not saying that we can do this work ourselves. It is God who makes us able to do all that we do. 2 Corinthians 3:5

I forgot to hit the send button yesterday so today we have two Friday blogs. TGIF Praise Him! It is also the start of Memorial Day holiday weekend. Remember those who have served and lost their lives for our freedom. Oh this weekend is going to be busy for shopping but I must get my son's birthday dinner together and also make a cake for him on Sunday. Today is a wash I am so tired after caring for my grandson yesterday as usual I need a day to recuperate.

My allergies are bothering my eyes making them itchy and scratchy plus running at times. I am hiding in my place today hoping the pollen gets flushed away. It is very heavy right now. Yesterday I saw it on everything, especially on top of the cars. Check this out!

I hope you have a safe fun wonder filled holiday weekend where ever you are!

Tis Thursday

We all share in Christ if we keep till the end the sure faith we had in the beginning. Hebrews 3:14

Baby grandson has pinkeye. I have been having uncomfortable eyes for the past few days too. Oh joy here we go again. The family that loves each other gets sick together. I was just at the baseball game over this last weekend with my grandson. Of course nobody knew then there was anything wrong. Also I have allergies and the pollen is up big time right now so it is hard to tell what I have. Itchy scratchy burning eyes with crusty this morning. Nice huh? Warm water felt good on them. Just allergies for me.

I was going to get some things done today that will have be postponed until tomorrow. My son's 31st birthday is on Saturday. We are celebrating it Sunday. I am making him a nice dinner and cake.

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that today is a big day for you.

Yes, today. Keep your eyes open for a message. It might come in a shape of a bird flying overhead, or a graffiti on a wall, or a phrase said by a passerby, or... Whatever shape it has, this message has been trying to reach you for years, and today is finally the day. Keep your senses open.

Hump Day

We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We do not know what to do, but we do not give up the hope of living. We are persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

Strength and faith and hope hold out! Praise Him! You ask Him for help. Turn to Him and say I need your help Lord and He is there. He will hear you talk to Him. Pray!

What is inspiration?

http://www.lifescript.com/soul/self/motivation/motivate_yourself_through_words_of_inspiration.aspx?gclid=CN265db4lrACFUJo4Aoddk-y1A&trans=1&du=1&ef_id=Ig5Ob0HvkiQAAAIq%3a20120523173407%3as

On this day of your life, Glenna, we believe God wants you to know ... that recession is also a time of great opportunity.

Time and time again success has its roots in failure, because failure knocks you down from top of the hill so you can then climb a mountain. Yes it's unsettling, yes it's scary. But this can be your greatest opportunity in life, - if you choose it. The recession has cleared the space of clutter, - think what have you always wanted to do but brushed aside from the top of your hill? Now is the time...

You're my place of quiet retreat; I wait for your Word to renew me. Psalm 119:114


I hope you have a happy wonder filled hump day! All I can think of is whales.  They are next to cute as owls. Manatees too.
