TRUST GOD ONE DAY AT A TIME! &
“PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! ”

Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen...Mother Teresa

BELIEVE
To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true.To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,The innocence of a child’s eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,for it is through their teachings we learn to love.To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.To believe is to know we are not alone,That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen,And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.If only we believe.

Pink Saturday

Today is my first Pink Saturday, and I am looking forward to visit and looking at all the pretty things that people are showing. Beverly at How Sweet The Sound is our hostess, for more information about Pink Saturday you can click on the pink lady at the right.

Arrangement done with seashells.



Painting that my Mom painted for me.


Bougainvillea in my backyard.

Put some PINK in your life when you want:
calm feelings
to neutralize disorder
relaxation
acceptance, contentment

Happy Pink Saturday. I love the flowers made with the shells.

Love all of your pink pretties, but the shell arrangement really fools the eye in the photo at least. Someone was very clever making it, was it you? Happy weekend!

Virginia, welcome to your first Pink Saturday.

I think it is wonderful to have a painting done by your mother.

I agree that pink is a relaxing yet happy color.
