Below is the hall way entrance, also red....I just love it....wow, I am always the safe girl that does things the neutral way.....I don't think I will be going back...smile....below is my diningroom corner and where I love to read devotionals and scripture in the mornings.
I love the scroll work on the cross and it just pops against the red, this is in the entrance way. I am not finished with the hall entrance way but I am off to a good start. Just loving it.
Isn't it great to have a holiday through the week everyday??? Okay so it's not a holiday with a paid day off from work but we can still have the attitude that its a great day, smiles.
My Dad called yesterday and said he is on his way and should arrive late this evening!!! Wow, he is really going to be here, I wonder what he looks like now? My dad is not up to date with the digital camera so I have not seen even a photo of him in years. I bet he will have more white hair....lol...he always blamed me for one side of his beard being white because I was the oldest.
Really not that he looks back I am sure he would admit that none of it came from me and he has a white beard because of my two sisters...(love you guys).
Our game was rained out Monday night and is resheduled for June 19th. Just more time to practice, we do have a game thursday night, I am glad Grandpa will be here to watch Garrett in action....(pray he is a heavy hitter) this will be the first game my dad has ever seen him play.
We enjoyed a BBQ at my little sisters house Sunday evening. Her husband Mark made a smoker, (yep, made it himself) sorry I forgot to take a picture) We enjoyed burgers and chicken, it was good, and I brought my favorite Strawberry shortcake for dessert!!! I was great to get to sit and visit with family....we don't get to be together often especially now that her kids are older teens and work. (if they are there they are usually texting!!!!!uggggg....)Here is a cute little picture from the BBQ, Shevera found a Salamandar....
On the last note, I have not had time to post my latest layouts but here is a little house update, but don't give up on me.......they are coming.
Scripture for the day,
This goes perfectly with my strives for 2008, to have the charateristics of Jesus...
Reflect Him
Today's Scripture
“Let this same attitude and purpose and humble mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus. Let Him be your example in humility” (Philippians 2:5 AMP).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
When you reflect something, you are exhibiting its likeness. You are displaying its characteristics. Like a mirror, the Bible tells us that we should reflect the character and likeness of Jesus. We should have His same attitude. That may sound like a pretty tall order; after all, Jesus was the Son of God. But remember, when we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, we become sons and daughters of the Most High God, too. We become empowered by the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead. That means we have the same spirit of humility—the same strength, the same love, the same power on the inside. We are empowered to follow His example and do what He did. When Jesus walked the earth, the scripture says He went around doing good and bringing healing to others, physically, spiritually and emotionally. That’s what we should be doing, too. Notice this verse starts by saying, “Let…” We have to invite God into our attitude and actions. Choose today to invite Him to work in you. As you do, you will reflect Him in your attitude and actions and bring good to others, and you will reap an abundant harvest of blessing in every area of your life.
A Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, I invite You to dwell in my thoughts, heart and attitude. I choose to follow Your example and bring good to others. Help me to be a pure reflection of Your love in everything I do. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Have a wonderful day and I will upload more later....
