Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.  For what is your life?  It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time,  and then vanisheth away. - James 4:14 - What is life? ’tis but a vapor; Soon it vanishes away; Life is but a dying taper; O my soul! why wish to stay! Why not spread thy wings, and fly Straight to yonder world of joy? See that glory—how resplendent! Brighter far than fancy paints; There, in majesty transcendent, Jesus reigns—the King of saints: Spread thy wings, my soul! and fly Straight to yonder world of joy. Joyful crowds, His throne surrounding, Sing with rapture of His love; Through the heavens His praises sounding, Filling all the courts above: Spread thy wings, my soul! and fly Straight to yonder world of joy. Go, and share His people’s glory, Mid the ransomed crowd appear; Thine a joyful, wondrous story, One that angels love to hear: Spread thy wings, my soul! and fly - Thomas Kelly - Life on earth is but a vapor, Soon we’ll lay these b...

A blessed and beautiful Sunday to you, dearest friends. As many of you know my Grandma Dee Ann is in the hospital  due to heart issues and complications. . . she is still in critical condition. On this quiet Sunday morning  I can't help but think of one of her favorite songs and that is In His Time. In His time, in His time, he makes all thing beautiful in His time. Lord, my life to you I bring, may each song I have to sing, In your time, in your time, you make all things beautiful in your time. Lord, my life to you I bring, may each song I have to sing, be to you a lovely thing, in your time. - Diane Ball -  I am trusting that the Lord will make all things beautiful in His time. I know whatever He decides for my precious grandmother it will indeed be beautiful. Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, help me stand- I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; thru the storm, thru the night, lead me on to the light- Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home. When my way grows drea...

A very big HAPPY HELLO to you, friends! How are you? I have been absent from blogging for quite a while now and I feel as though I have lost touch with so many of you. I truly hope all is well with you. And I trust you're enjoying your summer. So much has happened  in the weeks that I have been "missing from action." First of all, the month of July marks 5 years of blogging. As I look back over the last 5 years  my heart overflows with gratitude for the many precious ladies I have met. Some of these women have blogs and some don't, but simply follow my blog and read my posts. These women reached out through an email which resulted in a sweet friendship. The blogging community is a beautiful place that is filled with many kind and gracious ladies. I am blessed and humbled to be a part of this group. In honor of 5 years I am having a giveaway that is extra special. In just a moment you will find out why it's so special. Since we're on the subject of blogging f...
