Been A While :-)

It's been a while since I have posted I know and ........ I complain about others doing that :-( but, oh well I'm here now. We had a baby shower for a coworker and I thought I would share some pics. My sister and I made some party favors and they turned out really cute.

Sis made these little booties out of styrofoam cups for the party mints.....

And I made these.... favor bags with pink and white M&M's and a "It's a Girl" ribbon:

I enjoy doing this type stuff.

I am so thankful that I am feeling much better and I appreciate each ones' prayers. And speaking of thankfulness.... here is a song that I found on the internet . It has alot of good lines and I thought I would share it. Hope you all enjoy :-)

Hymn Of Thankfulness

1)Looking back on what has been my portion. I see the hand of mercy so divine. The hand has given me life's richest blessings. And nothing came by any strength of mine. My thoughts then turn to Him who is the author. The source of every good thing done for me. A hymn of thankfulness to God the Father. I sing for all His goodness shown to me.

Cho.)Oh I thank God for every little blessing. For every need I have He doth supply. I thank Him for each spiritual caressing. A comfort that He gives from every side. Oh I thank God for life, the pleasures in it. His peace and joy enlightening every day. Oh I thank God for grace and His sweet Spirit. That guides me and protects me all the way.

2)There was a time when I was not so thankful. In giving credit unto God I failed. The blessings of the Lord I took for granted. And murmured when from me they were withheld. But Jesus led me through the time of trial. And through necessity my soul did bring. Twas there He taught me patience, self denial. And there He taught my heart to ever sing.

3)Once I was worried over what I had not. But now I'm thankful just for what I have. Was anxious over what He could have given. But now I'm thankful just for what He gave. Without the smallest amount He has bestowed. I could not get along from day to day. But with the little bit He has endowed. By faith I can go all the way.

Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

I Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

Until next time,

Have a good and godly day :-)

Another Message in Song

We face trials and temptations daily. Sometimes things come all at one time or maybe an affliction on our body and we seek Gods face for healing and trust Him to work things out.
God is faithful to His children and works in His time. We tend to forget shortly after He has worked and moved for us. How many times........

So You Would Know Just How Much I Love You

VERSE)
How many times must I prove how much I love you
How many ways must my love for you I show
How many times must I rescue you from trouble
For you to know just how much I love you

CHORUS)
Didn't I wake you up this morning
Were you clothed in your right mind
When you walked upon a problem
Didn't I step right in on time
When you were weak along life's journey
My angels carried you
So you would know just how much I love you

VERSE 2)
How many days must I be fence around you
How many nights must I wipe your tears away
How many storms must I bring you safely through
For you to know just how much I love you

REPEAT CHORUS

CHORUS 2)
Didn't I put food on your table
Show UP! when your bills were due
When the pains were racking your body
Didn't I send healing down to you
When you were lost in sin and sorrow
I died to set you free
So you would know just how much I love you
REPEAT CHORUS 2

So you would know,
(so you would know how much)
So you would know,
(so you would know how much)
So you would know just how much I love you

I want to remember what God has done for me and try to do a better job thanking Him for what He has done and not just focus on what still needs taking care of.
In His time, In His time
He will work all things beautifully ...... In HIS time :-)

Have a good day!!!

Tell What He's Done For You

1)Have you found rest and peace within, rolled far away your load of sin
Stepped from the old life to the new? Tell what the Lord has done for you.

Cho.) Oh, tell what he's done for you of His love so strong and true
Oh, tell what he's done, what he's done for you. Others may need Him too.

2)Have you a Friend whose wondrous grace, lights up with joy the darkest place,
Who to the end will still prove true? Tell what the Lord has done for you.

3)Have you been saved his love to show, who by your side each day doth go?
Looking to Him to help you thro'. Tell what the Lord has done for you.

4)Have you a joy that ne'er shall fail, E'en when you walk thro' death's dark vale
Some One whose power great things can do? Tell what the Lord has done for you.

I just want to take time to tell what God has done for me. I was born into a loving Christian family. We had the privilege of sitting under some great men of God that proclaimed truth without fear or favor of men but with a heart of love. My siblings and I were saved at a young age and were blessed with friends that were saved as well. I remember gathering around with the adults to pray and ask God for deliverance or healing of a family member or friend. As I've grown older, I gain strength and encouragement from these experiences to face problems of today. "He is just the same today". I thank God for salvation and His mercy unto me and just for the privilege of prayer..... to be able to call upon Him in time of trouble and sickness and not only during these times, but also just to thank Him and talk to Him. I don't want to go back on truths that I have been shown but hold them precious. When God shows us truth, it is dangerous to turn our back on it or lose our love for it.
II Thess. 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
vs. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
vs.12 That they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
God help us to walk in all the light that He has shone on our pathway, to stay sweet in our soul and keep our hearts and thoughts pure before Him.

"And though I've had my share of hard times.... by my side He's always stood. Through it all...... GOD'S BEEN GOOD"
