Winter Blessings To You!





Home Haven Blessings to you!  Thank you for popping in to visit.  Inside my home you'll find some pine cones in a AMERICAN MADE Longaberger Napkin Basket.  Nature warms the atmosphere.



Warm bedding helps take the bite off of being cold at night so you'll find overstuffed comforter plus additional bedding on our bed.






Thrifty purchases add some splashes of bright color to the bed to cheer us up during this cold weather season.  More snow is in the forecast today and we have the grey Kansas skies to suggest it's on the way.  There it is...fluffy snowflakes are quietly falling from the sky.




Placing a few snowmen out at Christmas will keep us company till March.  A snowman collection awaits me in the garage.  If we can find the storage tub full of snowmen then out they will go.  They're either in a light blue colored tub or a white one.  Can't remember!  But when I'm out there looking for more snowmen, I'll also be looking for pink tubs that holds my Valentine decor.  It's coming.

I've been color coding my tubs for quick identification for seasonal decoration.  Light blue and white means.....snow and cold weather.  Pink means Valentines...Navy Blue, Patriotic 4th of July;  Orange and Black, Halloween; Brown means Harvest Time along with Thanksgiving.  Christmas means Red and Dark Green.





 Snowman in a jar...bottled up cuteness!

~ SNOW BEAUTY ~



Last week's snow will be covered by 
this week's predicted 10 inches.








Our coughs and colds are almost gone!
Doing our best to stay warm and healthy.



Reading Proverbs everyday and heeding what the word says then I will grow spiritually.  I will be a healthier person because I am believing what is truth.  It will feed my hungry soul.  God's word is truth and will satisfy. 


A simple and easy Devotion to fit into a busy life is to read Proverbs.  If it's the 19th day of the month, then read Proverbs 19.
What ever day it is on the calendar...read that chapter. 


Winter Blessings to you!

Beautiful pictures, they give that warm fuzzy feel lol, I've never noticed that there's 31 chapters in Proverbs, a chapter a day, what a neat idea

Proverbs is about the only bible study that I have been able to handle this ultra busy year. I think the Lord knew what He was doing when he designed the book of Proverbs, actually, He knew what he was doing when he created the world, and inspired the writing of the Bible.

Beautiful snow, treacherous driving out in the Flint Hills today.

Funny...I think I have that same bench (also snow-covered) only mine is in a darker color. Love the snowmen! I've gotten a new computer and your blog no longer freezes my screen, so I'll be back a lot more often now!

Glad I am not getting all of that snow, kiddo! I like memorizing scripture--it is amazing how much it speaks to me when I spend time doing this!

Marmie,

I love the snow picture that you got with the snow falling. Refreshing. And I love all of the snowmen!!

Have a wonderful night...

Decor To Adore said...

Your snowmen are absolutely adorable. I truly loved the old wallpaper that was discovered one post down. Were you able to save any of it for scrapbooking, etc?

The Tablescaper said...

Beautiful snow photos and your home looks so warm and charming. The perfect place to be snuggled up as a new storm approaches.

It would be great to have you join your post in Seasonal Sundays.

No Laura, The paper was so brittle that it wouldn't make good scape booking backing.

The years of it having glue on it did a number on it.
Glad you stopped by.

Deanna,

I love reading Proverbs and read the corresponding verse to the date everyday:). Your pictures are beautiful! Our weather was warmer today, in the 50's, beneath blue skies which is a welcome break to the brutally cold temps we had the past few weeks.

Blessings,

Kim

Anita Diaz said...

Oh yes Deanna, you are so right about God's Word! I'm reading 1 Chronicles, which may seem strange, but I'm reading through the Bible for the second time and that's where I'm at! I read every day even if it's just a few verses and it is life changing. We are expecting more snow on top of what we have too. Glad you are feeling better!

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
