Spiritual Sundays!!

Hello Sweet Peoples,

I do hope that you have all had a wonderful week and a fabulous weekend?!
This Spiritual Sunday I'm sharing a quote that I came across via the web that touched my heart, I struggle with receiving God's love for me and I'm choosing to believe that finding these precious nuggets are no mistake but lead by Him. I hope and pray if you also struggle as I do, that this will sink deep into to your heart and that you would receive His unconditional love that He has just for you.

His Hands

See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
~Isaiah 49:16~




God keeps His promise a thousand times, but the trial makes us doubt Him. He never fails.
He is never a dry well. Yet, we are as continually vexed with anxieties, molested with suspicions, and disturbed with fears as if our God were the mirage of the desert…you are written on the palms of His hands. It does not say, “your name.” The name is there, but that is not all:
I have inscribed you.” Absorb the fullness of this! Everything about you and all that
concerns you have I put there. Will you ever say again that your God has forsaken you,
since He has inscribed you on His own palms?

~C.H. Spurgeon~

Please take the time to visit all the other wonderful people at Spiritual Sundays, but first grab a cuppa, get comfy and open your heart to be blessed.

The Lifter Of Our Heads

In those desperate times when we feel like we don’t have an ounce of strength, He will gently pick up our heads so that our eyes can behold something—something that will keep His hope alive in us.

~Kathy Troccoli~

The Smallest Blessings Thursday

I love the beach, I delight in the way each and every one of your senses come alive. To be still and relish in all its beauty. To see and hear the waves crashing in on the rocks to feel that cool sea spray on my face and taste its salty kisses. In all this beauty I feel so much closer to God, it's like no one else exists just Him and I.
One time while sitting on the rocks I closed my eyes and envisioned that Jesus was standing out on the ocean inviting me to come to Him, I walk to Him and fall to my knees sobbing, He gently takes my hands and lifts me to my feet then wipes the tears from my eyes and smiles, it's the most beautiful smile I have ever seen, a smile that drenched me in love. He takes my hand and leads me to dance, we dance and dance and dance.
I am grateful for such a precious day dream, one that will be forever treasured. With a word spoken we are blessed with the magnificence of His oceans.


A Big thank you to the sweet and lovely Jennifer, at The Southern Housewife for hosting The Smallest Blessings Thursday what a beautiful way to brighten up your own day and others by being thankful for what God has blessed us with.
Please pop in and visit or join in with The Southern Housewife and the other Lovely Ladies, I'm sure it will bless your heart as it has mine.

Quick and Simple

Hi Lovely Peoples!!

I have been playing around with a bottle, jar, ribbon, candles and a broken earing.



Here's what I done, nothing fancy but I think they look sweet, there's so many things you can do with bottles and jars what I've done is just quick and super simple. I have quite a few jars and bottles and I've seen some of the ways people decorate them and it's just beautiful, so I want to play around some more but for now this is all I've done. hehe





I'd love to see or hear what your ideas are for decorating jars and bottles, that's if you don't mind sharing them:)

His Word

Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path.

Psalm 119:105

The Smallest Blessings Thursday

I am thankful to God for the beauty of this Daisy, the day I took this photograph it had just finished raining, if you click on the picture it will enlarge and you'll see the little rain droplets on the petals. God has blessed us with so much loveliness and we pass it by everyday. Taking photographs makes me stop and look at the beauty in all that is around me it helps me to see just how truly Magnificent our Lord is and it's with His Words that all this exquisiteness lives.

This is my first time being apart of The Smallest Blessings Thursday and I want to thank The Southern Housewife for hosting and allowing me to join in on the blessing of The Smallest Blessings Thursday what a beautiful way to brighten up your own day and others by being thankful for what God has blessed us with.

Awards!

Hi Lovely Peoples,

I hope you all had a beautifully blessed Easter.

I had my hands full dog sitting my Mums two dogs Trudy and Maggie and her cockatiel Charlie. It was indeed an interesting time as my Lily just wants to play, so she was in their faces a lot and with them being older they were not impressed with her, and we won't go into feeding time. They were sure glad that they went home today and I must admit I was glad too.

So what did you all get up to for Easter?

I came back to blog land to be blessed, the very sweet and lovely Francis at Bellamere Cottage has showered me in Blog Awards, thank you so much Francis....hugs. I'm so shocked because I've only been at blogging a little while and I have been blessed so much with wonderful, talented, creative, sweet, encouraging, beautiful and inspiring Blog Friends and I am so thankful to you all, more than you know.

With these Blog Awards I'm suppose to pick 8 or more people to give these awards to. Because It's so hard to pick just a few I'm going to go against the grain and I'm going to give these awards to everyone who comes and has come to my blog. So if your reading this now please take these Awards and be blessed and encouraged.

My thanks to you all :)

Please don't be shy, take the awards and display them on your blog, it will just make my day and hopefully yours :)

Dump Shopping!

My sweet Mum and I went Dump shopping on Saturday and I wanted to show you the white wares and candle holder that we got, all for $5. This dump shopping is totally addictive but thankfully Mum keeps me in check. As we were leaving I saw a pink window frame that is just lovely and I'm hoping it will still be there when we go back again.




Many heartfelt thanks to you all for making my life so much brighter, you bless me more that you know :) ((((hugs))))

Spiritual Sunday!!

G'day Lovely Ladies & Gentlemen,

I do hope you have all had a super wonderful week?! For this Spritual Sunday I would like to share a beautiful song "The Potters Hand" by Darlene Zschech.
Be adored in The Potters Hands :)

The Potters Hand

The Potters Hand

Beautiful Lord, wonderful Saviour
I know for sure all of my days are
Held in Your hand,
Crafted into Your perfect plan.

You gently call me into Your presence
Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me dear Lord
To live all of my life through Your eyes.

I'm captured by Your Holy calling
Set me apart, I know You're drawing
Me to Yourself, lead me Lord I pray.

Take me, mold me, use me, fill me
I give my life to the Potter's hand
Call me, guide me, lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's hand

Written by Darlene Zschech
