Computer Beauty

Do you love pretty things? In my home, surrounded by four males - beauty is not a big issue to them. But, I absolutely love flowers, frills, lace and everything girly! So, my solution is to surround myself with pretties! My guys are pretty understanding about my need for beauty. The only main issue they complain about is the flower centerpiece on the dining room table. Nightly I hear, "Can you please move the bush, I can't reach the bowl of ..."
Oh, and the are also pretty adamant about their bathroom - NO flowers there!
I have found the best web site for desktop backgrounds! At joypals you can click on each month and have a choice of beautiful desktop wall papers with a Scripture verse for your computer background. You just click on the current month, select which size screen your computer is. When this picture pops up, using your mouse - click on the right hand side and an option will be "set as desktop background. Click this and it will appear on your desktop. I guarantee that it will add some beauty to your day!!!

    Hey......your preaching to the choir here! Ha! Being a mother with four boys, testosterone rules around here, but my husband is so understanding and he lets me decorate the house and have all my pretty things out. The boys are all really understanding too and put up with my frillies. It's cute when they buy me femy things and can't wait to see my reaction! Thanks for the great tip on the computer wallpaper etc. I'll have to check it out. Have you checked out The Painted Cottage? It is such a fun blog spot, they have cottage of the month and it is so fun to look at all these gorgeous homes! If you want the link, come to my blog and look at my favorites it's near the bottom.

    Hugs, Sharon

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him.  Obeying God doesn’t have to be unattainable or impossible, but can be a joyful, beautiful journey as we go by step and follow Him.
