Prayer request.  I just talked to my youngest sister.  Her adult daughter a young mother of three under 3, received news this week that tests results say she has Crohn's disease. She is the  bread winner right now because her husband is in school. She is believing for a miracle. Please pray with me for Jessica.






Spiritual Sunday    http://bloggerspirit.blogspot.com/

I got to thinking, shouldn't every day be Spiritual?


So many people keep their Spiritual clothes in the closet until Sunday morning.
They get up and put on their best mask, dust off their bible and head to church.


As they walk in the door they put on a smile like they put on their lip stick that morning.
They sing with gusto.
They shake hands and greet those around them with a "how are you this morning?" while thinking about if they turned off the iron.


They answer the same question with "Just fine thank you", while dying inside because of the pain of the argument with their spouse or their kids before they left home.


They put their offering in the basket, folded small so no one around them will know they put in less than they spent on their morning cup of java, bagel and news paper.


They say God Bless in the benediction before they run out the door to be the first in line at the local buffet.


Let's be real


Put on your Spiritual Garments every day!


Isaiah 61:3
bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. 

I pray God will bless you with a wonderful, fulfilling week full of 

His presence and peace.

When I saw this picture of Queen Victoria on Google images I knew she was perfect.

 Was her jewelry too heavy or was it mid-summer and 90 degrees?  

Thanks Louise for hosting this creative outlet!

I am excited to share my little Germany boy today for Vintage Thingy Thursday with Suzanne and all the other lovers of things out grandparents handed down, our parents threw out and we bought.

This little musician is 5 inches tall and his wonderful hat feather is a wooden letter opener!  His markings are KE 25/0 crown over a w and stamped with a bee inside a V (R) .  I have never been able to find him in any of the Hummel books so have no idea if I have a real treasure but for 10 marks at a flee market back in the 70's I'm sure it is worth the $4. I spent. 

Ryan's Ranch

Today I want to share a 5year old's room I painted.  

Ryan wanted a ranch theme and what better way than to paint him his own ranch.  

 

A typical day on the ranch.  

To help these boots look more real, I got permission to paint on the white floor board.

Time to saddle up the horse!

His room created some fun challenges with the angles of the ceiling line and doors into the attic storage areas. 

Hope you enjoyed a bit different trip to the country. God Bless and have a great week. Debbie   Make sure you take the time to visit all the other great outdoor blogs that Susan has hosted for us at http://asoutherndaydreamerr.blogspot.com/
