What is Your Word for 2017

I have read many blogs about choosing a Bible verse to be your verse for the year.  One that you will memorize, read daily, and live by.  That is a great idea.  Something to focus on in prayer and in how you live - by His Word.  So, did you choose a verse?  Will you share it and maybe even tell us why that was your choice?

I have not chosen a verse this year.  Instead, I am searching for a word.  One word. I have thought about it, I have prayed for a word, I even thought I had one - then I forgot it!!  Lol!  I have a direction I want my life to go - yes, the direction IS toward Christ.  I do want to get closer to Him, be more like Him in action and deed.  I want my heart to be like His heart.  Because I have noticed once in awhile that my heart is hard toward another instead of loving and forgiving.  I have not found the one word I plan to focus on this year.  I plan to do a bit more praying and reading.  I will let you know what word God lays on my heart.  And if you think about it - say a prayer for me to be able to hear God's word to me - to hear all of God's words to me!!!  God bless!!!

From Twigs to Trees!

OK, girlfriends, I'm ready to show you what I have been working on for weeks and weeks.  I told you I was working on something for two special people - it is done!  Let me tell you who, what, when, where, and why.  For as long as I can remember I have given my girls a "Happy December" present.  I just love the Christmas season so much that I am ready to begin the celebration.  So on December 1 I would have a gift for my kids.  They might come home from school and find a Christmas shirt on their bed or I would present them with Christmas socks or a Christmas trinket, maybe cookie cutters or sticker book.  Just something.   For fun!  This year I made: Grapevine Christmas trees!!!!  I had lots of help!  My sister, Nancy, Mark, and Hank all helped me gather the vines.  Poor Hank got poison twice from helping me find vines!  Then I wrapped the vines around a tomato cage using the vines and thin wire. ...

One Month To Live

Have you ever focused on life on those terms.....one month, 30 days, and it is over?  There is a book by Kerry and Chris Shook entitled just that.  "One Month To Live."  If you consider, contemplate, study this aspect of life in an honest for real way - you just might begin to walk a little differently. This past Sunday, my husband introduced this thought of what would we do if we knew we only had one month to live.  He passed out 3 X 5 cards and asked everyone to write what they would do.  I will tell you the expanded version of what I wrote. 1.  I would like to spend time with my family (bonus: at the beach) so I could enjoy the love and laughter and fun we always share.  I would want time with my kids so I could tell them how awesome they are, how proud they make me feel because of their heart they each have for God, because of the love they share with one another, and because of the way I see them care for those around them.   I love to see...
