Yesterday, the family room window was open and the sweet smell of Spring was coming into the room as I typed away on the computer. At 4 o'clock the Winter sunshine was in my eyes. A very nice experience to have as I could hear church bells in the distance chiming that it was 4 in the afternoon.
When the windows are closed, I can't hear the bells that chime every day. It was a 3 chime day as I heard the 5 o'clock church bells and again at 6 when walking to the Post Office. Hubby and I picked up the mail and then walked a ways to sit on a bench. The church bells were playing a hymn at this time. So peaceful and pleasant to be able to sit on a Main Street bench in small town America where the street is quiet.
We prayed together on that bench.
Today it's a bit windy with the temperature at 71 degrees...Spring seems to be here for a few hours in February. I'll be back in a little while. Going to go for a walk with my Grand Daughter. Simply too beautiful to be inside on this fine day!
Thankful that it is like a Spring Day in Winter,
~Deanna~

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."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
PROVERBS 24:3-4
By wisdom a house is built,and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.

SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)

HOME HAVEN LILIES ON THE PRAIRIE
LUKE 12: 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
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
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

Wow...really? They play a hymn? That is amazing! How wonderful to live in Small Town America!
How sweet that you and hubby said a prayer while sitting on the bench listening to the bells.
Enjoy your walk with the little princess!

That was such a pleasant walk on a pleasant evening. So ready for spring to come and stay awhile.
I was surprised by the bells playing a hymn, wasn't aware that they did. So glad that we had that moment
to sit and relish the quiet beauty of our little town.
Hi Deanna! I just found your blog via Foodie Friday, by reading your comment about cornbread mix you found at Big Lots~! Imagine my surprise to find that you are a Flint Hills gal...both of our daughters graduated from KSU and I love riding through the Flint Hills! Your lovely stone home reminds me of so many I have seen and admired! Glad to find your pretty blog and look forward to reading more.
Isn't that sound wonderful, Deanna? I miss church bells ringing. It's been in the 70's here this week and next too. I hope it stays. I have been working in the garden raking the leaves....Christine
