My church sermon this morning was on materialism. Worshiping the Gods of Materialism. People become so wrapped-up in what they think they need/'A BIGGER HOUSE, A NEWER CAR, A NEWER COMPUTER, ETC." they forget to be thankful for what they DO have and they stop counting their blessings and thanking God for what He has given them.
These people just become more unhappy to the point where they can't enjoy the things they already have and they stop making the most of what God has blessed them with. Instead of being patient and appreciative, they become complainers who do not accept God's gifts.
I truly believe people need to be THANKFUL for what they have, and good stewards of what they are given financially before God will continue to bless them and give them more.
The woman who takes her tiny little home and makes it a castle for her husband and family is the woman who finds favor in the eyes of The Lord.
Our Father God knows our hearts.
May God bless your thankful heart today, and may you love Him with all your heart and be THANKFUL FOR ALL YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN.
God bless, xo

It's a Wonderful Life
I am truly enjoying a wonderful life!
We have SO much celebration going on in our family with our new Isla coming to join us, and the marriage of Katy and Quinn.
We just enjoyed a bridal shower for Katy and now we are waiting for Isla to come into our lives.
I can't wait to hold her in my arms and get to know her. What does her little face look like? What color will her hair be?
I'm really looking forward to spending time alone with Cohen while Mommy and Daddy go to the hospital in the event of Isla being born.
Our beautiful Summer weather is another added bonus. Katy's mom Renata invited my good friend Linda and I and Linda's daughter Brook to hike with her last Sunday at her favorite forest. It was Linda's first hike! The warm weather in the cool of all the trees in the forest made for a perfect hike. I think Linda is now hooked and I can't wait to go with her again!
Life has been busy. Almost three weeks ago I went to Seattle and had a nice visit with Ryder. The city view from the Hotel I stayed at was amazing! I could see the heart of the city and also the bay. At nightfall when the city lit up as well as the ships on the water it was spectacular!!!!
I'm ready to back again. As soon as our little Isla is here and all is well, I will be pack up and go. I miss Ryder SO much. He will be coming to Salem to spend a few days for his brother's wedding and I can't wait.
I have been reading my bible from the beginning and getting to know God's heart again. I call it a refresher course, as I have read through the bible before. Each time I learn more and feel closer to my heavenly Father.
I honestly do not know how non-believers make it in this world? My overall health, heart and well being all comes through knowing our Father God and our Savior Jesus.
Every breath I take, and every thought I think is in sink with God. He is the meditation of my heart. The more I meditate, the more I feel His Holy presence. The warm embrace on my shoulder and the calming feeling only He can give.
It's a wonderful life!

SHOWER
I like the word shower. I love rain showers and I love having showers for people. Yesterday I had a baby shower for my beautiful Kesha at my house. It turned out fun with a lot of supportive loving friends who blessed her with darling Isla Reese items.
Next, I look forward to having a bridal shower for our Katy Cutie. Our family has a lot to look forward to this Summer. Isla coming into the world, and our Quinn and Katy are getting married.
It is all blessings from God.
God bless! xo

I really enjoy entertaining and hosting. The baking part is my favorite. Now I am looking forward to having a bridal shower for our Katy.
This is an exciting Summer for our family.

Summer and Health
Now that our lovely weather has arrived it's SO wonderful I feel as though I have been given a huge bonus from God.
Waking up each morning to Hawaii like weather reminds me of His faithfulness.
I feel healthy and happy; and with all the yummy fruits in season and available one just can't eat badly.
Summer and health go hand-in-hand.
Happy Summer! God bless,

Summertime Snow Flakes
I was outside today watching it snow from my deck. Sitting on a lawn chair looking up at the blue sky, I saw thousands of little white cotton fuzz balls falling from the sky........They are Summertime Snow Flakes!
Cohen brought them to my attention when we were playing in the pool and sunning ourselves last Thursday. She said "look Gamma, snowing!" It has been snowing ever since.
God bless, xo
