Light, Love, Hope

Light in the Darkness Surrounded by Love with Hope for those in need.

The Potter’s Hand

2

Today was going to be a leisurely type of day where I sat around in my pajamas with the luxury of not having to rush here nor there.  I could actually take it easy today and relax!   I vowed to take full advantage of this!

I propped my feet up in my old recliner and settled in with my little two pound Teacup Yorkie in my lap.  Music always inspires and moves me, so I “shuffled” my i-Pod tunes, determined to breathe in all of the goodness of the day that the Lord has given to us and breathe out all of the stresses and anxieties.More

High School Ring Ceremony

0

My daughter and the rest of the Junior class received their high school rings this week.   The school held a small, but precious, Ring Ceremony in their honor.   They opened the ceremony with a special prayer.  Then they mentioned the ring etiquette and how the ring was to be worn facing you until graduation.  This inspires you to keep trying hard and giving it all you’ve got until you have the honor of walking across that stage to accept your High School Diploma!  Once that happens, you, then, turn the ring where it is facing the world as it now signifies that you have achieved your goal and have graduated!More

Children Are A Gift From The Lord!

, 0

I have been so blessed as I engaged in community with Good Morning Girls and their Facebook group.

Today’s scripture really thrilled my heart.  I have often said that my girls are my heart and soul.  They are the reason that I’m here on this earth.  I fully believe that.  My children have inspired, encouraged, and uplifted me without even trying.  It just comes naturally for them.

My children are my life!More

Who Inspires You?

, 4

Have you ever really searched your heart and narrowed down all those who truly inspire you?   That is a tough one because all throughout our lives we have and will encounter those that challenge us and inspire us in different ways.  It’s hard to pick just one person or group of persons.

While thinking on this topic during this past week, I have to say that all those that have been affected by cancer inspire me.  From the ones fighting the brave fight right now, to the ones that have conquered it and are considered “survivors,” to the ones that lost their lives while fighting with all of their might.  There’s also the family and friends that have stood by their side every step of the way loving, caring for, encouraging, supporting, and cheering them on.  They all inspire me more than mere words could ever say.More

Musical Inspiration

14

Have you stopped to consider how much music inspires, encourages, and reduces anxiety in our lives?   Do you have a song in your heart (psst, God placed it there)?  Do you walk around humming to yourself or whistling a tune?   I’ve been told that it is a sign of happiness when you do that.More

Spring Is In The Air

0

Most everyone is ready to escort Old Man Winter right on out the door by now.  There has been tons of snow in the North, and there has even been snow AND ice in the South!  We’ve encountered freezing temperatures, downed power lines and trees snapping under the pressure of the weight of the ice, loss of electricity, with massive clean up efforts needed afterwards.More

Hold On Tight And Enjoy The Ride

0

My family and I spent some time at the ranch this afternoon.  We groomed the horses, picked their feet, put on their saddle, and away we went on our trail ride.  My entire family was able to go on this trail ride today, and we had the absolute best time!

We started out on pretty flat land, then went over some unstable ground.  It was at that time that my youngest daughter struggled to get her horse to cooperate.  The horse went into a trot, and all she could do was hold on at that point and try to enjoy the ride.  She’s okay, and this did not scare her at all as her heart is 100% into these horses.  It did get me to thinking this afternoon, though.More

Beautiful One

2

You are beautiful.  Yes … You!  The one reading this right this very minute.

Proverbs 3:15-18 ESV   She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed.

Joy!

, 0

When times are tough and things of this world threaten to shatter our peace and steal our joy, quickly turn your thoughts to pleasant things that speak life into your heart and soul. What restores your peace and joy, friends? Allow me to share my thoughts here.

For me, when the world comes crashing in, all I have to do is shift my focus to my darling daughters. I escape the grownup woes for a little while by playing like a child again in their world. Oh the fun we have dancing around, laughing freely, throwing our heads back as we laugh so hard that our sides hurt. Just tonight we had such a moment. We were watching Titanic, of all things. My entire family was glued to the television. During a dancing scene, my oldest daughter disappeared into her room and returned shortly thereafter shuffling her feet, dancing around, kicking up her heels, all the while twirling a blanket over her head. We burst into uncontrollable laughter. None of us were expecting that, but it was the best thing she could have done to entertain us at that moment. These are the times that we’ll remember forever!More
