In My Father's House

Be comforted and encouraged this day.
The Word of God shares with us in John 14: 2 of the New Testament what Jesus said:

In My Father's house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you.

Saint Charles Saturday

Hello!
Miniature Dollhouse Furniture catches my eye and delights the little girl inside of me that never tires of playing house.

One of the quaint stores we visited in Saint Charles, Missouri displayed and sold beautifully made miniature furniture and items. Thought showing some of these miniatures would be fun to share.

Have FuNn and play house.
In our real earthly homes, may God show us how to live and decorate the interiors of our homes!!!
May the LORD'S Blessings be found in what ever structure we live in that we call home.
May we allow the LORD to make our homes a loving, refreshing, and peaceful HAVEN. We can have an active part in creating this valuable place we call Home by being sensitive to God's instructions and applying His counsel to our everyday life. Don't miss the mark. May Jesus be your personal Savior, because we need Him in order to understand the things of GOD and HIS HOLY WORD also to be filled with GOD's HOLY SPIRIT.

Be encouraged in the LORD of Host. He is worthy. He is worthy.

Home Happenings

Warm and Bright Greetings to you!
Hope your week has gone well and the week-end relaxing so you are refreshed and ready to go.




Beloved,

Remember Haddie? Well I received word from her and she's detained in Boston. She's oh so ready to spend her winter with me in Home Haven. Not sure when she will be knockin' on my front door. I washed the bedding and aired out her room, so when she does arrive she can settle into a comfortable place to rest her weary body!

Not that she's given to rumors, but she heard a whopper. She said the color turquoise is going to be a hit this coming year. It will be all the rage!!! Hum. Oh, what ever shall we do? Turquoise is a pleasant color and I like it alot. I understand that chocolate brown with turquoise were likeable Victorian colors. Perhaps I'll decorate a room in this color theme or just buy a big 'ole turquoise ring to prance around in.

The month of January is just about half over (can you believe it!) and I make a vow that before Frosty February arrives...I will have watched The Bollywood video that is going to teach me how to Belly Dance. And you only thought I was kidding. If this Big Momma can do this, then I will have something new to shout about or maybe give me a great reason to soak in the tub 'cause my back is killin' me. At any rate, I'm making it a goal.

Have you noticed that there are times in our lives that what's coming at us is abit too heavy? We are better off if we keep our sense of humor and do somethings that put a smile on our face and a bounce in our walk.

I'm at one of those places in life where I need to be taking good vitamins and praying ALOT. Rejoice, rejoice...God cares. God is good and worthy to be PRAISED.

Speaking French is foreign to me, but I hope to practice speaking the French language. By year's end I surely will say "Wee wee!" better than ever. I'll be taking it slow.

I have enjoyed a variety of music the majority of my life and played piano by ear. So we shall see how it goes as I sit at the piano and listen to instructions on how to make the music flow.

Entertaining Haddie, Belly Dancing in the privacy of my Home, Speaking French and playing the Piano will be an interesting combination.

And to make sure I have some class...I otta wear these delicate pink slip ons. What do you think?

Well, that otta be enough Home Happenings for now.

God Bless,

~Deanna~

PS With the events of our present world and everyday issues...we truly have much that we can be praying about as we roll up our sleeves and give a part of ourselves to others.

Roses In the Dead of Winter

Dearest Friend,

Fragrant smelling roses to enjoy in the dead of winter.

Rose petals in a bowl make for a sweet addition to any room.

May you have a pleasing day.

God Bless you.

Wild West Wednesday and Shoot Out

The wild west wouldn't be the wild west without a gun fight. True to form at 4 o'clock in the afternoon there was a huge disagreement in the street about some land and in no time at all there was a shoot out. Quick, loud and to the point. Front row seats no doubt.

We enjoyed our visit and the reenactments added to the day.

Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita, Kansas is one of the neatest wild west adventures I know of.
