2025 MARCH. LION OR LAMB

 2025 MARCH 

LION OR LAMB

March came in like a lamb and after the January and February winter storms we had this year, it was a welcome spring break for all. We had three feet of snow and miraculously by the will of God, it melted all slowly into the land. All glory to God, thanks be to Him for every good and perfect thing. 

Most of March will be during lent so I hope you had time to think of what you need to add or give up to make your life more spiritual. Spring won’t come until may but we can hope for Easter as Easter comes April 20, pretty late in April. 

Enjoy the spring skiing and the sunshine as it is such a gift. For that thought; make every day a gift in some way to some one. Think small, a smile, a letter, a comment of encouragement, a hug, all these will make your heart happy and someone else’s too. 

St Patrick’s day on the 17 th will send you to my life scripture or psalm 23. My mom had to memorize it when she was child and always wondered why until she helped me buy my little place. Again, thanks be to God.

2025 FEBRUARY life

2025 February.  life

 

January’s final curtain 

We begin February with another snowstorm. It is technically the shortest month yet always seemingly the longest which means it gives us perseverance and strength of character. February also, has many special holidays so let’s try to enjoy life instead of endure it. 

The first is a God child’s birthday 

The 2nd is groundhogs day  (six more weeks of winter for sure)

The 6 th. Ronald Reagan birthday 

The 9th Super Bowl Sunday (too sad for Buffalo Bills)

The 12th celebrate Abraham Lincoln (full moon and my dad’s birthday) 

13th Galentines day :  Celebrate a brunch with your gal friends or a Little woman’s tea (book theme parties are always fun and creative. 

The 14th Valentine’s Day (flowers…or puff pasty hearts stuffed with fruit)💕

The 17th is this year’s president s day 

The 21st is Heritage day

22nd George Washington birthday 

Spring is still in the distance so cut some willow branches and force them to bloom inside or any blooming branch will do. 🪴I have a green plant in each room to celebrate life and spring to come. 

Jesus saith unto Him,

 I am the way, the truth, and the life; 

no man cometh unto the Father but by me 

John 14;6

2025 JANUARY. seek

2025 JANUARY 

SEEK

2025 rings in with lots of snowing and blowing…

Happy New Year 🎈 Good things in January: seeing an  eagle perched atop the highest cottonwood tree, snow blanketing the ground, bonfires and s’mores, focusing on priorities and new year goals, cleaning and declutterring the house, using green plants in simple decor, more reading time, another minute of daylight each day, drinking hot tea or hot cocoa, and enjoying soup and bread, make a list of your favorite January things.  

Epiphany or happy three kings day is January 6 this year.

 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

What are we seeking this new year or even this new day?  

Every morning I spend an hour with the Lord which is how I came to my 4* word.  In both Matthew and Luke the word tells us, “ ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you:”  Are we seeking God’s will or our own?

2024 DECEMBER HOPE

                     December 2024 hope

Tis the season for hope. Time to reflect on past Christmas memories and the past year and hope…

I hope your home is filled with light, love and laughter, and of course a few moments of peace since the nights are very long. I love this season because it brings out the very best selves. There’s so much to be thankful for so I hope I can reflect the goodness of God every where I go. 

Merry Christmas

2024 NOVEMBER love

NOVEMBER 2024 I love the thankful month 

 What are we most thankful for?  I think this month makes us think about that in so many ways. So love each moment and cherish the people you’re thankful for; blessings come to us in so many ways.  🙏😇

2024 OCTOBER gold

  

OCTOBER gold

What do think of  the word, gold ; Color, price, medal, weight, metals, jewelry, ?  What is worth more than gold to you?  Is Heaven paved with gold or does it just look like that because of the light from our father?  Autumn has been becoming beautiful with each and every moment. Although the days are getting shorter, they seem to be full of wonderful sights and sounds  A span of colors ranging from deep earth tones and glittery golds to brilliant sky blues. Leaves crunching to whistles in the trees are a delight on every walk in the woods.  Let’s make special fall memories with nature and remember who made it all.  Thanks be to God.

2024. SEPTEMBER holy

SEPTEMBER

Holy

(the son will walk on the sea) 

This autumn season always brings reflection. What will you reflect on where will your thoughts rest. I always Try to keep my thoughts on positive or creative things.  “His word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”  Memorizing scripture helps.  “This is the day the Lord has made we will rejoice and be glad in it.”  These are fun and easy ones.  

Just recently, I went to the movie, 🍿 Reagan. I thought it was very thoughtfully made; well done.  Patriotism and reverence to God are good character traits along with knowing your history. I recommend it for all.

Leaves and a rusty mauve are colors I am using in my decorating and paintings this season.  Love the season.
