A couple of my wood fence post shelf 'sitters' which will be under somebody's Christmas tree soon =). The image on the right I got from the free collage group at Flickr. Well, the painting is FINALLY done! Thanks to our son sticking faithfully with me or I would...boo hoo, still be in there with paintbrush and roller. But I'm not...and its a new day with no mistakes in it yet...remember that quote from Anne's teacher? Thoughts like that make the sunshine come out for me. I'm off to check out CurrentCodes.com and see if I can find any online bargains. I've never been there before but they are recommending it on the news so curious maggie is going to quickly check this out. Then, after the cello practise..which I hope goes well I get to have a little fun and sew up a Christmas apron. Oh I hope I can find enough fabric in my little stash to make it happen. If I do, I'll be sure and post a picture. Wishing you each a day filled with blessings!

My Testimony

I was saved when I was 32 years old. We had evangelistic meetings the week of Mother's Day. When asked by the evangelist if I died tonight would I be sure I would go to heaven. I answered...'I hope so'. He answered, 'young lady, heaven is a 'know so' place'. He asked me to sit up front the next day in church, and the message was 'Hell will be filled with 'good' people'. The first one third of the message I sat in the pew and reviewed to God and myself what a 'good' person I really was. Not! The Holy Spirit of God brought conviction to my heart so vividly, that I clearly remember not needing to hear any more of the sermon. God's word had reached ME! I was a sinner on my way to Hell. I couldn't wait to go forward and pray, accepting Christ as my Saviour. I believed on him that day and received Him personally by repentance and prayer, confessing my need of salvation. Hell will be filled with good people all right, BUT good only in their own eyes. God alone is sinless and 'good'.

"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is mad unto salvation.

Romans 10: 9 & 10 Verse 13 says this, 'for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' John 1:12 & 13 says, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.'
