Just For the Joy Of It

JustfortheJoyofitcopy
Something I did last week that was pure joy for me, was finding a quality yard sale!  I like to yard sale on occasion, but am not a professional, and many times it is hit or miss in finding bargains.  This yard sale had quality items, many brand new for a dollar or so!

Here are some of my finds:

I loved these jars, they have "peace" and "joy" on them with Scripture verses on the bottom:
And the cutest dried flower wreath - brand new with tags!

It was a fun time of shopping and then coming home to decorate my home with my bargains!

    I really don't think I have ever found really cute things like that before at a yard sale - I'm not much of a "yard saler" but I just might be if I could find 50 cent finds like that! Just love the blessing jar:) Why would you sell your blessing jar??

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.

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

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
