Get Your House in Order: My Very First House

"that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;"
Romans 10:9

Baby Dedication at Sardis 1973

We took a stroll down memory lane. It was time to tackle the big drawer of pictures at Mom and Dad's house and begin to sort them. As we thumbed through piles of picture, each one had a memory, a time that was captured in just that moment. I was reminded of how simple life is when you are a child.  I love this picture of my baby dedication in 1973. Of course, I don't remember it. However, I remember my parent's memory and story they have told me through the years about this special day. I was the first baby to be dedicated in the new church. Those smiles on Mom, Dad and Stephen's faces (and my baby face)...being dedicated to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..fills my heart and makes me smile as I write. Forty-two years later, I smile as that baby girl did because He is MY LORD!!!



And what a great time to share a picture of my very first home in Covington, Georgia. The house I lived in the for the first five years of my life! It was out in the "country" with a pasture and a barn...Abby would have loved it there! The only thing I remember about the inside was my blue bunk beds and my lamp with pink roses on it, that I had to have on at night . (I ended up in my parent's bed every night anyway). Isn't it an adorable house though?

I am now looking forward to going through the next couple of drawers of pictures! And motivated to get all these snapshots on my phone and computer printed!

Get Your House in Order: Cancer Awareness & Giveaway

Image
“He will command His angels concerning you to guard you carefully.” Luke 4:10 A few weeks ago I was reminded that September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month (Leukemia and Lymphoma) and encouraged me to use my blog to help raise awareness. I am always willing to give a voice to those fighting and winning against cancer. To me cancer never wins. I will never understand the painful process or the impact and loss it causes but I rest in knowing that...ONE DAY there will be no more cancer. Period. You know how sometimes you read a blog or a book about someone's life and you are just blown away with their story? You connect with so many parts of their lives and you gain insight and inspiration immediately. As was the case with the story, art and website of Patience Brewster , you must take a look for yourself at their page! Patience Brewster reached out to me about writing about a post, after reading some of my cancer stories on Blessings, Suzanne. Patience designs Christmas

On Your Mark

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7 While walking on my everyday path and praying about the upcoming Race for the Cure, that I plan to RUN this year, my eyes fell right upon this cross. (picture to the left). I am sure if any of my neighbors were looking out their window it was a sight to see me staring at the ground and saying "only You, God" (and likely very loudly, due to the fact that I had my earbuds in and music blaring)! Two pieces of pine straw put perfectly together to form the cross on the road. What a sweet reminder of God's love! After I snapped a picture, I began to pick up the pace a bit and RUN. Baby steps. My faith in myself had been renewed that I was reminded to look to Jesus to help me run this race. The problem is I don't like to run. I never have, walking is just fine with me...smile! To be honest, I have never challenged myself to do so. So, this is the year! It's my

Get Your House In Order: Sunday Scripture

Image
"So I have looked for You in the sanctuary,  To see Your power and glory. Psalm 63:2 I read these two verses to Luke this morning, he was the first one up, besides me. It was a great opportunity to tell him how I read the  reference verses that go along with the verses each day. We looked up the verses and read them as well. He thought that was cool (his words). We had a brief moment of discussion and then he moved on. We don't normally get that morning time together...what a blessing! Have a wonderful Sunday!
