The wicked borrow and never repay,

but the godly are generous givers.

Those the Lord blesses will possess the land,

but those he curses will die. 

The Lord directs the steps of the godly.

He delights in every detail of their lives.

Though they stumble, they will never fall,

for the Lord holds them by the hand."

verses from Psalm 37

Treasures

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.. Mt 6:21

Trust in the Lord and do good.
Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you your heart’s desires.

Commit everything you do to the Lord.

Trust him, and he will help you.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn
and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
Be still in the presence of the Lord,
and wait patiently for him to act.

Successful People

"Successful and unsuccessful people
 
do not vary greatly in their abilities.

 
They vary in their desires
 
to reach their potential."
 




- John Maxwell

Home Sweet Home for Rest

Every house where love abides and 

friendship is a guest

 Is  surely home, and home sweet home
 
For there the heart can rest

Salvation Army Treasures!

 I have been encouraged at the shopping opportunities in the local area this autumm. 

 I found 2 chairs and many other treasures

with which I will beautify my little cottage in the next few weekends. 

 

 First assignment I tackled was my "Breakfast Nook."  

 Having lived here for nearly 8 months now,

I have discovered that we congregate as a family for more than just meals in this area. 

 

 A problem was identified: No comfortable place to sit! 

 

This is a biggie in my book, since I really LOVE

 to TALK and LISTEN to my family members when they come around

 and seem to want to talk.

 

  Here is my solution: I removed the little Kitchen Table

 (we really did use it quite a bit, but now I have an excuse

 to use my lovely large Dining Room for Meals).  

I pulled the little child's table in the area for "B" to snack on, and do his

Homework in the evenings.  I am able to make dinner

and still supervise since the Kitchen is located

just to the right in the photos. 

The materials I used were either given to me (hand me downs), or

I found them in a box in my basement from years ago.

The Gorgeous Pillows were a hand-crafted Housewarming Gift

from my talented Baby Sister.

 

Here is a "Before" Picture of the Breakfast Nook:

 

 And After...

 

 

I love the way the little cozy area turned out... Now to conquer the Living Room!
