Pleasure......

"It is God who is at work in us, both to will and to work for His good pleasure."  Philippians 2:13

I LOVE that God is continually working in me to mold me into what He wants me to be.  I LOVE that He is patient, loving and kind when I fall short.  I especially LOVE that when I am obedient to His word I can give Him PLEASURE......

Well, I said I had been busy making things for my shop......

Having fun with coasters!!!

Having fun with Springy dishcloths!!

There is more....but you will have to stop by the shop to see! :) 

The link is on my sidebar.

There is also more to come soon....

In fact I am working on something rather random for my shop that is fun to do and hope you will enjoy it as well....*sigh* but I am having trouble getting it done.....

I mentioned we have moved to a Bible Camp where we are host/caretakers.  So, today there is camp work.  A group of ladies come in tomorrow for a retreat and we must make the lodge ready.  Which reminds me, I need to grab the basket of greenery off the mantel and add some Spring to it!!  As well as make sure the little kitchen is tidy and ready with fresh linens and all that they need.  Then back to my own "home" work.

Enjoy your day!!  Let's all strive today to walk in a way that we will bring PLEASURE to our Heavenly Father.........Blessings!

When you walk along the road......

                          

"These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.  Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."  Deuteronomy 6:6-7

I have always loved this verse. For some of us it is a huge part of why we decided to homeschool.  Having more time to teach our children the things of the Lord without "interference".

Think about the times you can bring God into a conversation during those precious teachable moments with your children.  Walking along the road.......for us that was often a country road......do we take time to point out the sky and clouds and how wonderful God made them or as we stop to examine a bug, do we take time to notice all the detail and interesting things God put into its design.  Perhaps we come upon a creek, as we spot the first crawdad or fish, do we think of all that went into its design and purpose.........There are so many ways to turn our eyes on Jesus throughout a day no matter where we are.  Do we do it??  I encourage you to try!

Blessings to you all today.....if the weather permits, take a walk with your children today......find something to talk about that puts their thoughts towards Heaven!!

Sunshine and Spring Days

The sun has been shining the last few days.....and it is has been pretty warm.....enjoying the days before the rains come.....

This morning I was reading in 2Corinthians 2. Spreading "fragrance" of the knowledge of God.  Hmmm.....how easy it is to not do that.  How easy is it to complain or be grumpy or just have a downcast countenance.  I can be guilty of that, that is far from the word "fragrance"...that is a pretty foul odor!!

It is my prayer today, for all of us, that we can share the sweet aroma that comes only from Jesus.  His aroma of love and joy!!  So that others will sense a sweet, sweet aroma of Jesus drifting through the air.

On another note.....I have been busy with some things......my Etsy shop is back open and there are a few things in there, a more to come.....
