Houseplant Monday! Here is my shamrock and I've put it outside since this picture was taken and I hope it is still alive. I forget things so easily.

Now this I call 'Purple Heart' because when I bought it that is the name that the church ladies had on the popsicle stick for 'ID'. I have always loved houseplants, but since my African Violets became invested with something 'whiteish'..and it spread like crazy to all of them, I don't have very many to keep now.

We went to Half Price Books Saturday night, after a stop at 'Oodles of Noodles' for a supper treat from our Son. Then to Frogurt? yogurt store, and yum.....I loved it. Soft-serve yogurt topped with fresh fruit. Then you put your dish on the scale and pay by the pound. 10 stars!

At Half Price Books I picked up 7 books. Two on spinning and 5 knitting books. What a happy night that was. Most of the books were only $1 & $ 2. What a blessing. I am knitting away on socks still, but it is enjoyable and I'm thankful to be able to learn how!

One of my favorite scriptures...' Know ye that the LORD he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.' Psalms 100:3

I am so thankful to be on my way to heaven...saved for all eternity. It only took me a few seconds to type that and those words are true....but how many seconds...minutes and hours have I spent today on 'stuff'. While God waits for me to acknowledge him and his wonderful goodness to me. We have such a wonderful God...so loving and true and constant.

A Colorful World said...: In Psalms David says "Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments." And how many hours a day do we spend on earthly things. I am so awful about that, not walking prayer and praise but moving about my day busily and devoting myself to other pursuits! Yet my heart is full when I acknowledge all that He has done!; 10:09 PM

I give the Lord the glory.; 11:46 AM

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.'
