A Hiatus of Sorts~Switching Gears~

Good Morning Friends!
I hope you all had a wonderful week! I know I sure have! 
And Guess What?  Its Friday!!!!!!

Now! Don't fall apart on me but.....I 'm going to put "Weekly Menu" on a hiatus or sabbatical of sorts. 

I will still be posting recipes that I think you will enjoy. With all the meal ideas I've already given you I believe you can handle it on your own for a few weeks.

Because its Summer Time! and many of us aren't on such a strict schedule, with vacations, kids visiting grandparents and just not wanting to cook as much....I thought maybe it was time to change our focus a little bit.  Sooooo!  I'm going to switch gears on you.

What I would like for us to start focusing on is organizing the home and ourselves too and maybe some redecorating and renovating along the way.

Saturday's Beauty Before Age

Good Morning!
Just a quick beauty tip for you today!
Have you ever noticed that when you are putting your base onto your face it seems to be uneven or blotchy?
I have come up with what I think is a neat trick!
I'm pretty sure that like me you put a dot of makeup onto your finger tip or sponge and place it on your cheek and start rubbing it around....Right?
But a few days ago when I was looking real close in the mirror I saw some streaks on my face. So I rubbed a little more and before I realized it I had pretty much rubbed most of the makeup off and had more on my hands than on my face now!
So what was I going to do?  I certainly couldn't go without my makeup!
That would scare everyone! EEEKKK!
So I thought what if I just gently pat my face...what could it hurt? Cause it was just a gentle pat not a slap. Ouch! That would hurt!
Well to my surprise it worked!
But guess what?! I discovered by doing this it has a two fold advantage. 

1. I no longer had all those streaks on face and more makeup on my hands or sponge than on my face anymore.
2. I also discovered that this made my face have the appearance of less wrinkles. It had more of a glow and awakeness! (I know that's my word!)

WOW!! That excited me!

Why don't you give it try and let me know what you think!  Did you see any difference?

Now Some Beauty for Your Soul!

He will be a sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure.  Isaiah 33:6

God Is There

It seems like so many tragic things are going on in our country this week.

Yet another test of our Faith has happened earlier today in West, Texas.

My Mother grew up in this sleepy little country town that many back then  would call West Station.

I spent many great times in this sweet little town.

It is a small Czech farming town, where everybody knows everybody......

God Is Sovereign

You know it absolutely breaks my heart and brought me to tears
as I heard the awful news that took place today in
Boston, Massachusetts during the Boston Marathon.

Though we do not and cannot even begin to understand why such innocent lives were taken in such a cruel and senseless way.....we must continue to believe with all our heart and being that God is sovereign...

I Live Because Of Him!

Today is a happy yet somber day in the lives of Christians.

You see today is Good Friday.

Many might say what is good about Good Friday?
Isn't that the day when Christ was nailed so cruelly to the cross and He died?
And when I think about it...I too stop and ponder why it is good?

As doing so I am reminded that without Good Friday we wouldn't be
getting ready to celebrate Easter.  Christ's resurrection!

Because without what happened on that day, on that hill,
on that cross....life would not have the happy ending like it
will one day when we, Christians go home to glory and
sit at the feet of the man that made this all possible.

So why is Good Friday good?
Because of Grace.

Grace:  God's unmerited favor.

It is kindness from God we so do not deserve.
There is absolutely nothing we can do, nor have ever done to earn this favor.
Grace is a beautiful gift from God.
Grace is divine assistance given to us for our rebirth.
We are set apart; given the perfect gift from God.

God's
Riches
At
Christ's
Expense

Have a Blessed Day!
