I am going to celebrate life in the windy, boisterous month of March by re-reading Gladys Taber's 'The Book of Stillmeadow'. Even though I am still finishing up 'The Teaberry Strangler' by Laura Childs...Gladys makes me laugh and drink of the cup of everyday life we sometimes think of as monotonous but actually..... is very rich with God's countless blessings. Sometimes you have to back off a bit and just enjoy!

A tranquil Saturday at home. Wishing you a cozy day...and aren't these warm/chilly days nice for a change. I'm a 'coldie' though....I love a good fire in the woodburner. Have you noticed the new blog in my sidebar? What a treat to see these handmade treasures! You do have to translate the page from Dutch to English though....no matter, its still a treat and no calories involved! And this is a new blog for me also, a family in Japan living through the tragedy there, may the Japanese get the help they desperately need, (thank you K, for the link) may God help them. Pray & give.

Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength and my redeemer."

When Bella and I are out walking, in the meadows or in the streets I recite them out a number of times each walkies time :0) I may look a little odd, but people talk on their phones all the time so I am just connecting with my Father. Thank you so much for all your inspiration.
have a lovely week,

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.'
