A Most Beautiful Poem

I love this poem so I did a little "design" and made it available for printing for FREE of course. I hope you also enjoy the poem.

The phrase "I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)" reminds me that our calling as husbands and wives is to become ONE...one heart...and to love each other as ONE. As I struggle sometimes to make sense of the frustrations of marriage I try to remind myself that the promise I made to my husband is far greater than any petty disagreements or hurt feelings. I remember that I promised to become ONE with him and to love him no matter what - as Christ loves us.

I hope you enjoy. I did these in a lot of different colors so you could pick the one that best suits you but, if you want a specific color just shoot me an email with the CMYK values and I'll send it to you.

Many blessings to you and yours!

Prayer Journal Printables

Seems that I've been doing a lot of praying lately - for my sister who is having surgery to remove a tumor in her brain on November 2nd, for my daughter who misses her friends because she is working hard and going to college, and for my husband who is struggling with his job. So, I thought I would make some prayer journal pages (or just journal page). These are a little more masculine because I was thinking of my husband when I made them. I'll post pretty girly ones tomorrow. Until then, print some of these out for your husband, son, brother, grandpa, pastor, deacon, or whoever...maybe someone at work that you know would really benefit from a little prayer. Heck, you could even fill one out with a prayer and Bible verse to leave in your husband's/son's lunch just to let them know you were praying for them.

Hope you enjoy!

Restoring what the locusts have eaten...

This verse was first shared with me by my best friend (thank the Lord for best friends) and has such a significant meaning for me.

I have not met a soul on this earth that hasn't gone through something that left them feeling a bit like an army of locusts swarmed in and destroyed everything. I too have had my own run-ins with the locusts...starting before I was even born.

And, up until my best friend shared this verse with me, I looked back at those times in my life with such sadness over all that was lost. I thought all those things that were taken, eaten away, destroyed by the locusts were gone forever...all that time in darkness was forever lost to me. This verse reminded me that God, in His infinite mercy, already has plans to restore those years to me again someday.

I feel a tremendous amount of peace knowing that now and, in a way, it has given me courage to move beyond some of the anger and hurt I have carried for such a long time. I hope that, by sharing this verse with you, you will also find comfort knowing that the years the locusts have eaten will be restored.

May your life be filled with hope, joy and blessings!

Blueberries are coming in

We are blessed to have 6 healthy and mature blueberry bushes. So, this time of year is all about the blueberries and filled with excitement as we look for new ways to enjoy them. I happened upon Poor Girl Eats Well for Blueberry-Lemon Clafoutis and I am so happy I did.

I made this recipe for dessert for some friends. I'm happy to say it did not last long enough for me to photograph. I will definitely be making this again. The combination of blueberries and lemon is so refreshing - it tastes like spring!

Here's the link to her recipe (trust me, you will enjoy it): Blueberry-Lemon Clafoutis

Really Awesome Grocery List

Free printables are awesome and a grocery list printable is really awesome. I was surfing my favorite site the other day and came across a post for a Free Printable Grocery List. Hope you enjoy it! Oh, a side note, make sure you read the grocery list at the bottom. We are supposed to leave them behind and then the next person to find them is supposed to mail them to the creator...wonder what her plans are for them?
