HIS Canvass.

 COLORS..... do you ever think about what (your) color palette is?  Without a doubt, I know that mine would be a 


RICH COLORED PALETTE......


That's just me!  I am a person that loves brightness and I love the bold rich colors. 


When I wake up in the mornings, the very first thing that I do is to OPEN the blinds....I need the light!  I need sunshine!

Of course....we all know that when it comes to EASTER, the Pastel Colors seem to be what we tend to see most.

I must admit, those pastels do make for some pretty good eating......Isn't this a beautiful cookie?  However, it would, no doubt, taste the same if it were filled with 

B O L D

COLORS

 I thought I would look up a few things about colors and this is what I found.....


Yellow.....means Joy and Happiness.
           It also represents the sun shining, on a clear Spring day....


Green....represents Hope and birth and 
              renewal....new leaves, new 
              grass, new life.


Pink....is like a fresh beginning.  Health 
           and a new start.


Orange...is the color of dawn, or the 
              start of a new day....


Lavender.....means something special.


Blue....suggest sky and water....It brings
           peace and harmony.  It's the 
           clear blue sky and the freshness
           of the rain which brings forth 
           new life....              


In reading about colors, I realized that we all have our own preferences when it comes to the colors in our life....But how precious it is, knowing that God created them all, for us....HE made the colors of the rainbow that are so pretty in the sky....
He made the brightness for ME and for others who love such bold rich surroundings.  He also made the pastels, for those who need only a touch of color in their lives....


 Our God is more than wonderful....How marvelous are His creations...How brilliant is HIS canvass!!!!


Until Tomorrow...

Daily Cleaning

Oh yes....It is now SPRING.....and one of the great things about Spring, is the opportunity for some deep cleaning....


I don't know about you all, but I can best describe "Spring" as being full of freshness....New life, New Hope, New Joy!

I love to open the windows of our home and let the fresh clean air, spread all through the house.  I like to organize and get the clutter cleaned out and sorted through.   


Just think about it.....Fall comes, and we have many reasons to bring in new clutter.....Decorations for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and then we have all the supplies for the parties that we love hosting.....


Before we know it, we have allowed things to become shuffled around and all jumbled up.    Sometimes, whether we want to admit it or not, we might find that we are living in junked up house.


Sure....we may keep the surface clean and looking good, but deep down......OH MY.....WE KNOW THAT WE NEED SOME "SPRING" CLEANING!!!!!

As I see it, our spiritual life can sometimes get messy too!
We may very well be able to look good on the outside.....we may be super talented when comes to putting on an act in front of friends, but deep down inside, we are a mess......


In some cases, we are filled with anger, bitterness, jealousy, 
resentment, bad attitudes and even this thing called gossip!!
We pick up bad habits that end up sticking with us...


GARBAGE.....so to speak!


If we allow these sinful things to clutter our hearts, then we become like garbage.  WE STINK!  No one wants to be around us, so therefore we are unable to be used for the Glory of God.   

I do not want my soul to be cluttered with things that are unpleasing to God....


Call it what you may, ...Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter cleaning......I think I'll call it "DAILY CLEANING!!"  When it comes to our spiritual life, we must do some deep cleaning every single day!

Wiling Servant

Happy Sunday Everybody.....


I am so excited and I just have to give you an update on the outcome of "FREE THROWS FOR SOULS."




As you may recall, a few weeks ago, I did a post about our son-in-law Tom, shooting free throws for 24 straight hours.   His mission was to raise money for "God's open Hands" and for a Missionary that our church supports....
                       
                                       

Please keep in my that a basketball in my hands is worth only what the ball itself cost.....


In the hands of Tom Booth......the ball was worth
at least $11,000.00 dollars.....


This past week, our Pastor was able to present a check to God's Open Hands for $5,500.00 dollars and at the same time, present a check to the missionary for $5,500.00.... I Praise God for this!!


Isn't it amazing what we can do when we follow what God is calling us to do?  Thank you Tom for being a willing servant....


Because of Tom's willingness, many people's lives will be touched...


HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY...


SHUG.....

I'm linking with Pink Saturday....hop on over....
