Prayer For Those Who Are In The Way Of Hurricane Gustav.

Dear Lord, please protect all those in the storm's path, especially those who are in most need of your care.
PSALM 46
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God will help her right early. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; He utters His voice, the earth melts. The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Come, behold the works of the LORD, how He has wrought desolations in the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, He burns the chariots with fire! Be still, and know that I am God. I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow. ~Douglas Pagels, These Are the Gifts I'd Like to give to you.

Flowers, Food For The Soul

I always try to have fresh flowers in every room of my home. To me flowers are food for the soul, the beauty of flowers satisfy something deep within me. When I look at beautiful flowers, their color, shapes and varieties it remind me of God . It’s them that I appreciate all the beauty He have created, and all that beauty nourish my soul.

Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.- Henry Ward Beecher, Life Thoughts

For the Love of Collecting

What is that makes us collect things. Sometime we begin collecting by accident, somebody gave us a gift and we find ourselves continuing buying or hunting for the same kinds of items. For me it seems to be pretty dishes, teacups, rabbits, birds and hearts.

Everything has a secret soul.
Kandinsky

Never forget that you are one of a kind. Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place. And never forget, no matter how overwhelming life's challenges and problems seem to be, that one person can make a difference in the world. In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person.
Buckminster Fuller

Here we start again.

Each Monday at the beginning of another week I try to remember that as I get busy with work, home and family I mustn't go through my household in full gear and get caught up in my busyness. When I do that my house begin to feel empty and hollow; them I start to feel stress and tense. That is when I make it a point of taking time to play a little with what I enjoy. I called it playing house.


Here are some pictures of some of my things.

My little bells, that I use to call my Angels.

My good luck cricket.

I love my orchids.

The real joy of life is in its play. Play is anything we do for the joy and love of doing it, apart from any profit, compulsion, or sense of duty. It is the real joy of living.

Walter Rauschbusch

It's Friday!

The end of the week, take a breather and try to relax. That is what I am planning on doing. This weekend I am only doing what is absolutely necessary. Is to hot this week in Florida , to tackle any of my projects. They are going to have to wait, because this girl is going to put her feet up and RELAX! Happy Weekend!

Our Bedroom

This is our bedroom, the bed is dress for summer. At the beginning of each season I change the bedding and the pillows. I know is kind of feminine, but my husband don't mind. If I am happy he is happy, I am thinking of redoing it and adding more masculine touches. But for now is staying like it is.

The dresser was blue before I painted it.

My favorite pillow.

I refinish the desk to match the armoire.
