More 'I Love You' notes from Jesus.

We have several Rose of sharon bushes blooming right now. A couple of bushes of stargazer lilies are also opening their 'love notes'.

There are several colors of glads parading. Each one is an 'I love you' note from Jesus. Enjoy!

A 'milestone' for us

These two pictures probably don't mean much to anyone else. About three or more years ago we put new windows in our son's room. For various reasons we never got the trim, etc. finished - until tonight. The walls are painted, the ceiling is painted AND the windows are finished being trimmed. We are hoping to go pick our son up tomorrow and I wanted very much to have his room not only painted but back in order before we leave for the airport.

We have also got the underlayment on the floor in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, we can get the carpet down as well real soon. It would be so nice to have his room in order when he gets here.

We did get a chance to talk to him for a couple of minutes or so. He hopes to fly out from Atlanta into a nearby airport. We don't yet know when he will be getting here so I tried to get as much done as possible today. Actually my hubby did most of the 'window' work. All I really did was to paint it after he finished putting the trim on. Since the house is a block house the walls are rather wide so it took a little bit more work than in a wood frame house. BUT, the windows are done! Whoopee!

I need to get some sleep so will share more later.

God of Mighty Miracles

A recent quote defined faith as taking hold of Omnipotence and refusing to be baffled. I found another description of faith today which I greatly appreciated as enlarging the scope of the first meaning. I'm making a poster but here is the 'added' definition.

Faith is the living power that presses through every barrier, overrides all obstacles, and plants its banner in the heart of the enemy's camp.

God is asking me to experience and practice more of that kind of 'faith' in the past few hours.

He has encouraged me by having my older brother share a couple of God actions in his life that I consider miracles. When he got the paper for adjustable mortgage it had dropped 2%. To him that was a real miracle, especially in these troubled economic times. God has also been using Him as a channel to bring deliverance from obvious demonic harrassment to some folks nearby. I praise the Lord .

Our son is on his way home, we hope real soon, but there have been spiritual barriers as well as 'paper tape'. There have also been obstacles of various and assundry kinds. He is not yet here so we keep hoping - turning future triumphs into present encouragement and joy and we are claiming God's kind of faith as we are aiming to plant God's banner of love in the heart of the enemy's camp.

Anyone who wishes please join us in praying for our son during this challenging time.

The God of mighty miracles, is marching through this land, healing hearts and healing homes with His Almighty hand. He's promised to create our home a happy family where love will overflow through time and all eternity.

O, take me now O Holy Spirit with Your mighty power. Do Your miracles in me right at this very hour. Glory, glory, God Almighty, it's Your matchless power. Praise God for Mighty Miracles right at this very hour.

Home Base

It seems we have done a lot a 'work' on different areas of our farm. The past week or so I have been spending more time in our house. Hubby was able to get two windows almost framed in today in our son's room. We have painted it and hope to have it ready in a day or two. Our son is expected home by mid week and I so much want to have his room, at least, in good order. Getting his furniture back into his room from the living room will also help the living room look better too. I am getting close to being finished in the kitchen painting project. We still have a couple of cupboard doors to rehang. Otherwise things are going quite well.

I'm eating some watermelon as I blog so won't stay on here for long this time. It was quite hot today until a thunderstorm came by and cooled the temperature down considerably for which I was very thankful.

You have a good day too.

Progress Report 2

Anyone who has visited us will recognize what has been going on in this picture. There is a short wall between a 'family' room and the 'living' room (beyond the young man). The bathroom door is to the left in the picture. I really like the idea of what it will look like when it is finished. The former door going into the living room was about 10 inches narrower than the opening (where the boy is standing). They were in the process of putting a header where the old wall had been. After that is finished the new door will 'slide' into a 'pocket' in the wall instead of swinging out into the rather 'narrow' place between the doorway and the beginning of the stairs. I had often thought of putting in a built in bookcase in that wall between the two doors but I really like a sliding door instead. The new door has a full glass panel so it won't seem tight in that corner even when closed.

As I mentioned earlier I believe the Lord is showing me places in me that need 'replacing' - in heart. The wonderful thing about the work that needs to be inside of me is that He is the carpenter - a 'finish' carpenter - that knows how to 'do it right'. I highly recommend Him to you to do any work in you that needs to be done to transform you into a 'look alike' to Him.

The friend I have been helping from time to time got her hair 'styled' today. It looked real nice. She has been a professional artist for many years and presently has an 'appointment' to display (and possibly sell) some of her paintings some time next month. After getting her moved we got quite a few of her paintings hung in her place but hadn't gotten all of her paintings unpacked all the way. Today after I brought her to her home from her hair styling appointment I started bringing out more of her works. It was interesting to hear some of the 'background' for some of her paintings. I think two of the ones we looked at today are fast becoming my favorites. One she painted for her father and it is sort of the 'front' of a ship as though it is coming out of a 'mist'. The other one she drew for her mother after her mother had told her of an angel who had come and talked to her in a flower type garden. I really like that one too even though it is not very 'big'.

I need to go for now. May the God of peace fill you full and overflowing with His JOY, PEACE and LOVE.

Word art and more

For quite a few years I have been in the habit of making a 'poster' from certain quotes when I find them appropriate either for me personally or to a particular situation.

I posted one here that I just recently did. If you are interested in any others I just began a new blogsite where I plan to share more of the 'poster' pages I particularly enjoy.

As you have opportunity, reread the one about faith, hope and charity. The part about hope is still burning it's excitement into my mind. Just think of it. Hope turns 'future' triumphs of the good and the true into 'present' encouragement and JOY. Sounds fantastic to me. It can work for you too.
