Garage Sales

Ahhh...garage sales. Don't you just love them! If you're like me you probably get excited just seeing a garage sale sign. There's something magical about driving up to a sale and seeing all those goodies up for grab at great prices. It's the "thrill of the hunt" and getting a great deal. I've always loved to shop and I've always loved a bargain.
These are a couple of my newest addition to my home from garage sale finds.
This adorable rabbit lamp.....so cute!

And this teacup display rack, for my teacup collection.

Everything in this corner is from garage sales..... chair, desk, plates, etc.

Hopeful Friday

Today is Hopeful Friday hosted by http://houseinroses.blogspot.com/ please go and visit Cielo and all the participants. Their beautiful post will uplift and inspire you.

In our story of Creation, we talk about each one of us having our own path to travel, and our own gift to give and to share. You see, what we say is that God gave us all special gifts. Each one of us is special, and each one of us is a special gift to each other because we've got something to share.
My God, today, let me use the gifts You have given me. Let me use them wisely.

Laundry Room

Don't you think that the laundry room is one of the least decorated or neglected room in the house? My was and it was not very inviting. It had an ugly breaker box that was always staring at me. I hated the breaker box so I decided to paint a bird house to conceal it and I also painted the opening to the attic and a few other little details. And now my laundry room looks more sunny and cheerful.
Here are some pictures of the finish room.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER .

LOVE to me is a powerful feeling, it breaks barriers, heals hearts, saves lives and brings miracles into our lives. Train yourself to think loving thoughts, speak loving words and demonstrate love in your every action—beginning with how you treat yourself moment to moment each day of your life.
The exact phrase "love one another" appears twelve times in the King James Bible. Each time it is directing us to love others . A list follows:

(John 13:34) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
(John 15:12) This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
(John 15:17) These things I command you, that ye love one another.
(Rom 13:8) Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another hath fulfilled the law.
(1Th 4:9) But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
(1Pe 1:22) Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
(1John 3:11) For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
(1John 3:23) And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
(1John 4:7) Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.
(1John 4:11) Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
(1John 4:12) No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
(2John 1:5) And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

Our drama and suffering are but one thing—a wake-up call. A call to get it right! To heal ourselves so that we will heal our children, communities, country and our beautiful world. This is what God is calling us to do. TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER .

Are you listening?

Happy New Year !!!!

A new year begins, and like every year we all make resolutions to improve our life. We all have good intentions, but then we get caught up in the busyness of our daily lives that we forget what we promised ourselves what we were going to do. This year my resolution is to really try to leave all my cares to God, not to waste my day worried about things I don’t have any control over, to pray for God’s guidance and care, and let Him work in my life His will. He knows what’s best for everyone and in a world in which there is much to discourage us; in a future which is uncertain; we need a lot of prayer and inspiration to keep us going.

May God bless you all through out the new Year and may all your Dreams come true.

Recipe For A Happy New Year

Take twelve whole months,
Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness, hate, and jealousy,
Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty,
or thirty-one different parts,
but don't make up the whole batch at once.
Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients.
Mix well into each day one part of faith,
one part of patience, one part of courage,
and one part of work.
Add to each day one part of hope,faithfulness,
generosity, and kindness.
Blend with one part prayer,
one part meditation, and one good deed.
Season the whole with a dash of good spirits,
a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
and a cupful of good humor.
Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
garnish with a smile,
and serve with quietness, unselfishness,and cheerfulness.
You're bound to have a happy new year.
