Houston, We Have A Problem. . .

Hello, lovely friends!
I am popping in to let you know 
that my computer is not cooperating
so I am taking it to the "doctor" to have it repaired.
Until it's back up and running properly 
it will be rather quiet around here.
Hopefully. . .
I will see you soon




I wanted to thank all of you for the sweet comments on my previous post
"Things That Are Tickling My Fancy."
I am so glad you enjoyed it and I appreciated your feedback.

Also, today is Father's Day and I just want to make known
that I am incredibly grateful for my father.
He is a quiet, but steady man. . .
a man full of wisdom and love. . .
a hard-working and godly man. . .
a man I love and admire.

And on this Father's Day
I can't help but give thanks to the Lord
for blessing me with an extraordinary husband
who is also the father of our precious son.
This man. . .
the love of my life. . .
is a remarkable man 
and it brings me great joy to watch him
in the role of fatherhood.
As I look at these two wonderful men in my life
my heart can't help but overflow with love and gratitude.

This poem is fitting for both my dad and my husband. . .

My hero is the quiet type,
No marching bands, no media hype,
But through my eyes it’s plain to see,
A hero, God has sent to me.

With gentle strength and quiet pride,
All self-concern is set aside,
To reach out to his fellow man,
And be there with a helping hand.

Heroes are a rarity,
A blessing to humanity.
With all they give and all they do,
I’ll bet the thing you never knew,
My hero has always been you.

Love and hugs to you, my friends!

Happy Labor Day, Friends!

Happy Labor Day,  sweet friends! I hope your day is simply delightful and ever so relaxing. Two things I wanted to let you know. . . I wanted to apologize for my lack of hymn posts for the last two Sundays. I shared with you that my laptop was giving me fits, and while some days it worked okay, other days it didn't work at all. My hard drive finally crashed in my Toshiba so just recently my hubby and I went laptop shopping and we purchased a Lenovo Yoga 720 2-in-1. So far I am loving it! If any of you have this model or even a different Lenovo model I would love to hear your thoughts. So I say all that to let you know that with a new laptop my posts and blog visiting should return to normal since everything is working well again. Thank you for your patience, my friends. Also, I wanted to let you know that everything in my Etsy shop is 20% off right now until Wednesday, the 6th. And please remember that I offer free shipping to all USA residents. Stop by Rose Petal Blessings . I ...

I'll Be A Sunbeam

Image
Let your light so shine before men,  that they may see your good works,  and glorify your Father which is in heaven. - Matthew 5:16 - Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, To shine for Him each day; In every way try to please Him, At home, at school, at play. Jesus wants me to be loving, And kind to all I see; Showing how pleasant and happy, His little one can be. I will ask Jesus to help me To keep my heart from sin; Ever reflecting His goodness, And always shine for Him. I’ll be a sunbeam for Jesus, I can if I but try; Serving Him moment by moment, Then live for Him on high. Refrain: A sunbeam, a sunbeam, Jesus wants me for a sunbeam; A sunbeam, a sunbeam, I’ll be a sunbeam for Him. - Nellie Talbot - I was looking through an old hymnal the other day and I came across this beloved song. I haven't thought of it in years and when I began reading the words  I was taken back to my childhood and the many times I sang it  in Sunday School or with my mom. While this might be a "ch...

Crisis Shot - Book Review

Image
Tess O’Rourke dreams of becoming  the first female chief of police in Long Beach, California.  As commander of the East Division, she is well on her way . . .  until the night she responds to an officer-needs-assistance call  and fatally shoots an unarmed teenager.  Despite being cleared of wrongdoing by a grand jury,  Tess is so hounded by the public that she takes a job in Oregon to escape the bad press. Winning over the residents of Rogue’s Hollow might be more difficult  than adjusting to her new role as police chief in the small, backwater town.  Especially when her closest friend, the pastor’s wife,  goes missing and the woman’s cousin is found shot.  Tess finds an ally in sheriff’s deputy Steve Logan,  but as they track down Rogue’s Hollow’s first murderer,  she worries that she’s breaking one of her rules and getting too close to him. My Thoughts Crisis Shot  is my first book by Janice Cantore and it certainly won'...
