Birthday Art

my lilacs
Katy's violets
We were both SUPER thrilled with our artist, Duane. Unfortunately we did not get a very good picture of mine before it was saran wrapped and now it's looking like it's healing, so I'll just have to wait and about 6 weeks to show it off better.

Happy Mother's Day!

To all of my friends who are mothers:

You are beautiful!
You are cherished!
You are a blessing to your children and you will be honored by your Father in Heaven.

Yes, each and every one of you. I know it's a "blanket" post and I thought about writing one for each of you... but that would take longer than I have left at a computer with internet. So, that leaves me with one great pronouncement -

You deserve a full and wonderful day every day and I hope that each of you were able to spend thsi Mother's Day celebrating all that mothers are and all that they do for their (and YOUR) families all year long.

Today my heart is full

on Easter Sunday I finally stopped worrying about life long enough to reflect on all I do have. My eyes keep tearing, but my heart is full.

...My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

...At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!...

...Christ the Lord is risen today, allelujah! Sons of men and angels say, allelujah! Raise your voice and triumphs high, allelujah! Seek ye Heaven, and earth rejoice, allelujah!...

...Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love...

...Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home, When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me....

...For I know my redeemer lives, and in the end he will stand on the earth. For I know my redeemer lives, and in the end he will reign on the earth....

...Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey....

...Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood....
