Lets help those that need help shall we........

Greetings everyone - spring has finally arrived on Whidbey Island, it's still a bit chilly in the mornings but in the afternoons we are experiencing some very nice warmer temps.

Today I want to bring awareness of the fact that there are so many people in this world that go to bed hungry. It's a shame and just should not happen, but it does. I encourage you to spread that word of Hope and add your blogs to this website so that donations can be made for those that are in need, I did. Why not be a blessing today. Jesus said that if you give to the least of these you are giving to him.....so add your blog on this website and then choose to donate the revenue from it to a charity of your choice. Give today and be a Blessing to someone so they do not go to bed hungry. Thank you!

Announcing my new cross stitch website

Greetings and blessings to you all. Here is it the beginning of a new month, it's June here in Oak Harbor and we are still having fairly chilly and rainy weather, when will it get warmer. I know it's right around the corner, at least that is my hope. I wanted to share a new website with you where I feature my art and photography cross stitch patterns. It's really neat because you can upload the patterns right after you pay via paypal. Here is a sneak preview of one of my beautiful watercolor patterns of "Sunny Sunflowers". Hope you get a chance to visit - remember to Praise God in all that you do, because he is with you no matter what you are going through....he will never leave you nor forsake you so be encouraged.....Blessings!

Happy Memorial Day

Today is such a special day for those who have loved ones in the military and for those who have lost loved ones. I have a son who is still in the Navy and I am so very proud and thank him today for his service to our country. I also lift up in prayer those families who have someone overseas right now serving away from their families. These are tough times and it's only by God's grace they can we get through it. I pray for the safety of those brave men and women to keep fighting the good fight of faith and the enemy and may God send his Angels to protect them each and every day. In the meantime watch this very cool video of my son doing an FA-18 demonstration at an air show a few years ago. I was there and it was amazing, it's only by God's grace that after he fought in Iraq and Afghanistan that he came home safely to us, we are so grateful for him and Praise God for his protection always. May God be the Glory and thank you son for your sacrifices that you have made for us. We love you son! Video

Is May 21st, 2011 really the judgement day?

Hi there, I don't believe that the judgement day is going to begin on May 21st, 20011 - do you? Don't you remember that it states in the bible that no one knows the hour or day when Jesus will be returning. The person who is stating this is really going out on a limb it seems really scaring people. But, if he is right, I am ready how about you? In the meantime I want to help spread the message of Jesus any chance that I can. Just the other day as I was going through my emails I had a very interesting one from God Tube, it's kinda of like Youtube. Anyway, there was a very cool video about a rapper singing the gospel of Jesus. It was so cool that I created a hub on hubpages about it to spread the word. I wanted to include it here for you to view - it's very interesting and it maybe just what a teenager might need to hear to bring them to the Lord. I named by hub "The Gospel Short and to the point".




The secular world is doing everything to keep God out of our lives it seems, so its our job as Christians to bring the gospel to those who are lost and this rapper certainly gets my vote for creativity. So when you get the chance be sure to check out the video - send it along in your emails to those who you think may need to hear it in a less conventional way.

Blessings to you and I know I will see you back here after May 21st.....God speed.

Ever wanted to share your art or photography online?

Hi - it's been crazy the last month with lots of cool holidays like Easter and Mother's Day.  They both seemed to be so close together this year.  They were awesome as I hope your were too.  I wanted to share a website where you can easily share and sell your artwork on.  It's a very nice website and features all kinds of goodies that make your art and photography stand out.  Fineartamerica allows buyers to preview their choice of artwork before they buy it.  For instance on canvas stretched gallery wrapped style, or with a mat and frame and all the bells and whistles.  This way you can try it before you buy it.  So have a look and take advantage of this website if you are serious about selling your work.  It's promoted big time so why not give them a try.  Good luck and I do hope that you sell lots of artwork.  Blessings to you too!

Mothers day poem

It's been a little while since I posted on my blog, my apologies.  Since it is so close to Mother's Day I thought I would add a poem to all the moms out there.  Be blessed on this special day!

"A Mother's Love"
There is no love, like a Mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth......
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a Mother when she gives birth.
A Mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time......
and when her children need her most,
a Mother's love will shine.
God Bless these special Mothers,
God Bless them every one.......
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they have done.
When her days on earth are over,
A Mother's love lives on......
with God's blessings on each one.
Be thankful for our Mothers,
for they love with a higher love.....
From the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.
By Jill Lemming


Happy Mother's Day!

Send someone a note to say hello with a cool stamp

Hello everyone! I wanted to share something with all of you.  Next time you send a letter in the mail - that is if you still do that sort of thing....:)  Seems like everyone only emails or texts anymore.  Anyway, why not send a photo stamp instead of the boring old stamps everyone else has.  Take that favorite photo and make a stamp - it's very inexpensive and so much fun.  You can either do that on my Zazzle shop or just click on the cute baby stamp logo below and have some fun.  On my zazzle shop you can create all sorts of personalized items such as, a special "mouse" pad for that special person who is on the computer all day.  Or, you can create a cute personalized mug, t-shirt, poster, even an I-Pod cover, the possibilities are endless.  You can even create personalized tennis shoes - yes you heard me correct - amazing.  So have some fun creating unique and special gifts today.




My favorite verse today is Psalm 33:6 which says:

"The Lord merely spoke and the heavens were created.  He breathed the word and all the stars were born".



He is all around us, all we have to do is take the time to look and enjoy his creations! I do hope that your day is filled with the Lord's presence and he is with you in all that you do - Blessings to you!
