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.

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.

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.

I LOVE and get all excited about yard sales, estates sales, flea markets....but, with over 18" of the glittery white stuff on the ground and 4 to 6 more inches of it on the way tonight, I have many weeks before I will see a yard sign here!

The Bunny lamp is adorable!
Late Happy Pink Saturday!

I love Garage sales. Because of being in the military some people cant take their furniture and I find the greatest stuff. Thank you for sharing.

Stumbled onto your site from another one, i cherish finding the sites that express their faith in God. Plus....I LOVE GARAGE SALES...so i'm with you on this one. From spring till fall, if you want to find me on the weekends, if I'm not out taking pictures, you will find me at a garage sale or flea market somewhere. Love what I've read so far, you're a great encouragement to others.
