Along the Path of Life....

How times change! Baby shoes nowadays are little replicas of adult shoes sometimes (maybe these are too?) ....like tennis shoes, Mary Jane's....(which I have several pair of in my size). I bought these at a second-hand shop for $5.00, what sweet things to bring home that day.

Move over, I was here first! Hand-made rag dolls always catch my attention. The craft stores with all the small spaces so charmingly filled by talented vendors call my name so eagerly. =)

And here it is...petunia time again. I value these lovely flowers for their hardiness and fragile beauty....and did you ever notice how wonderful a perfume they give off?

We have a ground-hog and its offspring devouring our newly planted garden. What a shame. My hubby worked so hard getting that garden ready to plant. Lately,

I have done way more reading than anything else....including knitting. I was reading Jamie Langston Turner's books the second time around and now that I'm in-between books....well, I feel lonely in a way. And torn, whether to start another book or discipline myself to sew or something. I took a bad fall Saturday night....not really sure how it happened. You know...one minute you are ok and the next... down and hurting. Thankfully I didn't break anything but have a huge nasty bruise the size of a dessert plate on my upper leg. And lots of sore muscles. And tired.

I have watched some of 'Christy' while ironing yesterday. Don't you just love that series? I sure do! Its a toss up for me over which favorite movie I would put at the top of ' the List' . Larkrise to Candleford? Christy? Sarah Plain & Tall? Wind at my Back? and more....and if a movie like these has something I don't like included....I just fast forward and zip on by.

I hope where ever you are you are having a sunny day and sunny spirits. And yes, I would wish for you.... energy!. And blessings, that can only come from reading God's word, and taking it into your heart. For keeps.

Psalm 16:11 'Thou wilt shew me the path of life: iin thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures evermore.'

Take care of yourself and get extra rest to heal. I like Anne of Green Gables, too. And have you watched the series, The #1 Ladies Detective Agency? We watch that one over and over. Well, and Downtown Abbey! lol Enjoy the rest of the day my friend. Hugs, Diane; 1:46 PM

Cranberry Morning said...: In so sorry you fell! Diane can sure relate to that! :-( I love petunias, especially the spicy scented people ones. So fragrant. Great idea about making the lemon dessert for a church picnic. That way you don't have to bring any back home to tempt you. That's what I'll do next time. :-); 2:15 PM

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.'
