I so enjoy vintage clip art. There is an attention to detail and purity that is not often found today. Or maybe vintage clip art is just my 'cup of tea'. And mentioning tea....I sweeten mine with 'Splenda' lately and decided to google 'Splenda'....=( here's what I found out. But on the brighter side...I can drink unsweetened tea just as easily. Just not as sweetly! lol.

'...whatsoever things are true,....honest....just...pure...lovely... of good report...if there be any virtue....& if there be any praise, think on these things.' taken from Philippians 4:8. Praying for you a sunny, happy day!

Mrs. Mac said...: Vintage clip art if refreshing and wholesome compared with today's standards .. and good for you reading up on splenda. I gave up caffeine all together and opt for herbal tea. Been sleeping so much better. Even coffee in the morning had a slight affect with sleep at night for me.; 9:16 AM

Thanks for your comments on my iris gate...just wanted to let you know I got rid of the Comment Verification. Too much trouble for everyone! If you have comment moderation so you check the comments before they appear. Blogger has a really good spam filter anyway. So, it isn't really needed, and they have just made it too difficult now to use.

Yep, Splenda isn't what we all hoped it would be. I have started using products made with the Stevia plant. Much more natural! And, there's always honey. :-)

Hope your weekend is a good one!; 10:26 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.'
