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...

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

Construction, Challenges, Chaos

 Who knew something simple could erupt into something chaotic so quickly? A broken file cabinet forced us to purchase a new one. We found one online, ordered it and it arrived quickly with a do it yourself assembly book, complete with 24 part packages and 18 steps of instructions!  As we unpacked the items and compared with the instruction book, we realized a part was missing. Customer service was called, a replacement part was quickly received. Except, the screws did not fit into the holes on the replacement part. We tried again, received another part, same issue.  Meanwhile, the 24 packages of parts are spread out on my living room floor, customer service does not understand my issue, they asked for photos which were sent and now we are again, waiting for a part.  It seems every project faces the inevitable delay. My work place is undergoing a floor remodel. Upheaval, dust, packing, lots of inconvenience and depending on the work crew's schedule dictate the next fe...
