My Life Verse

Kelly’s Korner  What is your favorite Bible Verse and why?
My favorite Bible verse is Ephesians 2:10 (King James Version)
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
What a truly beautiful promise from God. I love knowing that God wants me to involve Him in every aspect of my life. It is so easy for me to go on making my own plans forgetting or just not taking the time to consult the One who holds the universe in His hand!! I love knowing that God has created certain situations for me to be a part of to bring Him Glory!! I love not having to worry about what comes next!! ( of course because I am human I do worry sometimes!!) Imagine it- before the foundations of the earth God designed and tailored My life!! Knowing this truth does not mean that life is easy and fun all the time. It means He is there with you ("I will never leave you or forsake you")!! It means He is faithful to finish the good work He has begun in you!! Knowing God is perfect means trusting Him that His “good works” He ordained come from His perfect, loving, Holiness!!

Playtime

Over at Kelly's Korner today is "Show us Your Kid Activities!!"




I love kids!!
Hands down I adore my little people.

I love Kid activities!!
I have a room filled (I am talking filled) with activities for you and your little one!!

The problem is- I tend to get hung up on the concept of putting the kids and the activities together!!
12 little  messy hands, oodles and oodles of supplies-We all know each kid has to make their own.
6 little bodies that become too tired after the tremendous amount of playing to be able to help clean up. I have overwhelmed myself just thinking about it!!
I am outright terrified sometimes at the mere thought of kid activities!! (I should have prefaced with the fact that my activities are outside of the box. Ever hear the word flour and 3yr. old in the same sentence?)
On a cool kid/mommy day we have lots of great things we like to do.
One is playing in flour at the kitchen table (no need to even ask-it is messy!!!!)

*Supplies

• Flour
• Toy Cars
• Your imagination
• mom’s measuring cups

A really great project for kids of all ages is to make lanterns- perfect for many occasions throughout the year.  We have used our lanterns for the 4th of July and Christmas Caroling.

*Supplies

• Mason Jar (1 per kid)
• Drill
• Rope or Heavy Yarn
• colored or plain tea light (it can't be proven that the police ever told us to extinguish the open flame on the parade route!)
• tissue paper (to decorate mason jar)

One of our favorite food activities is to make popcorn balls. Yummy!!

*Supplies

• popcorn
• 1 stick of butter
• 1 bag of marshmallows

Pop your popcorn, melt butter and marshmallows together, then pour over popcorn stir and make into several balls. let cool and enjoy!!

My Fairytale Proposal

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NIV
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

Girls have often dreamed of their wedding day.  Marriage on the forefront of their minds from a very small age. Prince Charming sweeping them off of their feet and living happily –ever-after!!

                     ("Castle" in Pennsylvania)

                   (view in back of Castle)

My Prince Charming and I met on Sept. 24th 1996 and were married on May 31st 1997. I will never forget the day we met. He was quiet, confident and completely adorable. I was late and had trouble focusing. He was a good bible student On time,focused and attentive. All I heard the teacher say was,  "wha wha wha!" Perfect match right from the start!!

I had recently become a Christian and truly believed God would bring me my husband. Within the first couple of weeks of school I was convinced God had picked my “Prince Charming”. My Prince Charming however did not seem to notice me or my beautiful personality!! Geesh.  So I began praying that God would be the one to develop the relationship. I prayed and prayed. 4 weeks later God had answered numerous prayers and we officially became a couple on Nov. 18th 1996 . Dec. 3rd  1996 our class took a trip to a beautiful "Castle" in Pennsylvania for a retreat. There was one whole wing for the girls and another whole wing for the boys!!


The dawn of Dec.5th I awoke feeling there was no need to “date” when I knew in my heart this precious man I met should be my betrothed. God immediately spoke to my heart with that still small voice (not a voice you can hear but a knowing in your spirit) God said your “prince charming” is not asking you to marry him because he does not have an engagement ring. I prayed and asked God to share with him that a ring was of no importance to me. 

A few hours later during a reprieve in our work and studies my future husband led me to a prayer tower way up high at the top of the castle where he knelt on one knee and said, “will you do me the honor of sharing your life with me and becoming my wife?” My husband later told me that God spoke to his heart in the early morning hours and told him I did not need an engagement ring. 

13yrs. later I still do not own an engagement ring but I have been living happily-ever after with my Prince Charming.

Kindness is the Key to Survival

Random Acts of Kindness-A random act of kindness is a selfless act performed by a person or persons wishing to either assist or cheer up an individual or in some cases an animal. There will generally be no reason other than to make people smile, or be happier. Either spontaneous or planned in advance, random acts of kindness are encouraged by various communities.(Wikipedia,the free encyclopedia)

Join me at Kelly's Korner for Show Us Your Life- Random Acts of Kindness

My family and I love to do nice things for other people(Well my kids most of the time-sometimes they want to keep whatever is being given-smile-)
My favorite thing to do would be to make a crock pot meal for neighbors and friends(so easy) Load up the crock pot with various chx, potatoes, veggies, chx broth and you have dinner!! (I have been known to drop off pizza when the crock pot and I have not seen eye to eye on timing.- The crock pot thinking there needed to be food in it to be able to cook!!

Aww, everyone loves a clean house but sometimes between kids, kids, and kids a person can get behind!! I have both given and been given the gift of cleaning for a friend or neighbor. Such a great feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction when the task is done.

 

Sometimes people need a break from their precious little packages!! What a great opportunity to relieve stress for a mom by offering to watch their kiddos for the day!! This act of kindness could be the difference for a mom whether she feel like a successful parent or a failure!!  



The bible says, “It is more blessed to give then Receive” I could not agree more!! 
Are we willing to give of ourselves and our time to another to improve the quality of their life?
