Spring Clean-Up

I have the landscaping crew coming today to do a spring clean-up on my yard.  Then it is my duty to keep up on it :-)

I think my daughter and I will be looking at doing some raised beds.  I would also love to put up a clothesline ~ maybe one of the umbrella type

My small group is starting a new book of the Bible this Saturday: Jonah.  I am looking forward to actually getting into the Word versus a book by some celebrated author.

Praises to God for His grace.  Yesterday was my daughter's 1st day of full-time employment.  Congrats to her and thanks to the Lord!

Long Weekend

I took a few days off last week and headed down to visit my family in the Woodburn, Oregon area.  As always, I had a delightful time!

On the drive down and on the drive back, I saw three different herds of big horn sheep.  What beautiful creatures the Lord has created!

The time I am able to spend with my family is priceless.  I am always grateful for the hospitality that my Dad and Jeanine extend to me.  They are kind, gracious and giving people.  We make loose plans and are very flexible while I visit.  It is a non-stressful, relaxing time.

This visit was right in the middle of ‘tulip time’ and there is a tulip farm just down the road from my dad’s property.  With the beautiful weather on Saturday, the cars were lined up and moving slower than turtles.  Luckily we didn’t have any type of emergency.

Women's Ministry

My church’s Women’s Ministry hosted a Priscilla Shirer simulcast on Saturday.  What a great event to have at our church.  It was a great day – fellowship with other Christian women.  There were 50,000 attendees registered for the simulcast.  These attendees were throughout the United States, Japan and other countries.  Some of my small group was able to attend the event so we were able to sit together along with some other gals.

What a blessing our Women’s Ministry is to me.  Our church’s sermons and ‘philosophy’ are very seeker-oriented.  So to have something to encourage those of us that are Christians to continue in our growing more like Christ is wonderful and to be honest, refreshing from the ‘soft treading’ and ‘hip’ sermons/philosophy.

April 1st: A Day of Contemplation

Today is a day of contemplation:
*blessings
*friends
*co-workers
*family
*pets
*home
*faith
It is my birthday; I am 47 years old and I wonder how I got here :~)

I am blessed with knowing Christ as my Lord and Saviour.  I have family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances whom are a part of my life and make my life sweet.

Life is ever-changing and I am glad to have a sturdy foundation in the Lord.
