Marshmallow temptation!

Resolutions

There is only one resolution that I have this year:

to focus on what is important.

- God

- health

- husband

- children

- family

- church

- friends

- others in need

THESE are the things that I am going to focus on - in love and prayer- this year.

The New Year!

Every new year brings a chance to start anew. To begin again. It brings hope that the new year will hold fresh experiences and adventures.

I pray that you will have all of these things.

Adding joy, peace and love into the mix.

The old going out and the new shining bright in your life.

I pray that you take this opportunity to right wrongs, clean up the mess, tell the ones that you love how much they mean to you, and forgive yourself and others for bad choices, attitudes and misunderstandings.

Much, much love and peace!

Happy New Year!!!!

Cindy

p.s.
This doesn't have much to do with what I've said except that I love this song.

Happy Birthday! Merry Christmas!

Please remember today, that as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, to be thankful for all that He has done for us.

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas!

Many blessings and love!

Cindy

ps

I'm missing my kiddies this Christmas!

But I am very blessed to have my sweetheart with me on this very special day! He always makes the holiday's so special.

Dylan the star!

Okay so he wasn't billed as the star...but in my mind he was numero uno! He was so cute in his acting debut. He played the little brother of a teenager. It was a part in the Christmas Cantata at the church that we attend.

I know it is a bit prideful and I apologize for it but I love to see him step out of his comfort zone and try new things. I tried to upload a video but it wouldn't. I'll try again later.

(Yes this is taken at Wendy's, it still is a good picture)

Tonight...

Dylan was in the Christmas Cantata at church. I must say that he was brilliant. Okay...through his mom's eyes...brilliant!

I will post pictures tomorrow with a commentary about how much I enjoyed seeing my 11 year old up on stage with the teens. He was the only one that was not a teen in the show.

Love!!!

Cindy

O Holy Night

This is a another beautiful video by Selah... remember to turn off my vibes first.

It is beautiful. I'll let it speak for itself.



Blessings and Joy!
Cindy

Here I go again!

Well...for some reason my blog was deleted. Here I am starting over again. I suppose that is the way of my life. New chances are always around the corner. I am very blessed to be given chance after chance to make it right.

Here is Selah singing "You Raise Me Up"

This is a video that may be difficult to watch. He gives us more than a second chance to change. Whether it is our own little world or the world of someone else we need make a difference.
Never did He tell us that it was okay to let our neighbors to go hungry, cold or lonely. We need to show the world the love of Him that created love.
