Happy Mothers Day & Spiritual Sunday!!

Happy Mothers Day to all you wonderful Mummies out there :)

This Spiritual Sunday I hope you don't mind me sharing a prayer/letter I wrote to God last year on Mothers Day. For many years as Mothers Day approached my heart would just ache so much it was crippling. This year I don't have that same ache I believe God heard my cry and is healing my heart. What a wonderful loving Father we have He truly deserves all the glory and praise.

We have a God that answers prayer, thank You Father!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Father I need Your help this day, my tears fall as my heart aches for the precious unborn baby I lost 20 years ago. I know she's there with You and I know there is no better place for her to be, but Lord, my arms are empty and I miss her, I miss that I never got to meet her and hold her, to see her smile and watch her grow, or hear her giggles and the words "I love you mummy." Oh how precious those words are, how they must be like music to a mothers heart.
Father please help me to not let this cripple me anymore when my arms feel so empty and when I see other mothers with their children, help me to not feel sorry for myself or envious at what I don't have but to rejoice in the fact that she has never shed a single tear, felt pain or sadness, to know that my little one has only ever known Your love, a pure and beautiful love, a love everlasting, a love unconditional. I want to be thankful that for a moment in time You entrusted a precious life to me the life of my unborn baby, Abigail Grace.
Father God help me to always imagine her there in Your presence, singing Your praises and dancing with angels, basking in the splendor of Your Love. Let this and knowing that when You call me home we will both be together rejoicing and glorifying the awesomeness of our Father God. May this knowledge heal this Mothers heart.
Thank You my Loving Father for hearing my prayer.
Amen

Psalm 147

¹ Praise the LORD.
How good it is to sing praises to our God,
how pleasant and fitting to praise him!

² The LORD builds up Jerusalem;
he gathers the exiles of Israel.

³ He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.

⁴ He determines the number of the stars
and calls them each by name.

⁵ Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.

The Smallest Blessings Thursday!

Kindness

1. (n.) The state or quality of being kind, in any of its various senses; manifestation of kind feeling or disposition beneficence. 2. (n.) A kind act; an act of good will; as, to do a great kindness.

Noah Webster's New International Dictionary of the English Language

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I was thinking about what I'm thankful to God for and it's kindness. I have been the recipient of kindness by family, friends both offline and online and by strangers. The kindness of another person is something that is beautiful, it makes your heart glad, you feel special, thought of, cared for, appreciated, loved and so much more. Kindness is contagious, it spreads its wings and flies, touching the hearts and lives of all who are open to receive it and sometimes it's given back and or passed on to another. The kindness of another can soften a hardened heart, it can bring healing and hope. It doesn't have to be anything big, it can be as simple as a smile. Kindness doesn't have to cost a cent but I can tell you that it is a gift that is precious and one to be treasured. Lets spread some kindness to a hurting world you just never know how much impact that your kindness can have on another, it could save a life. It's no wonder kindness is a gift from God.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Colossians 3:12

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thank you for your kindness, it has blessed my heart and lifted my spirits more than you know.
May you be a recipient of kindness each and everyday :)

the evidence of things not seen.
Heb 11:1

don't see the whole staircase.

Take the first step in faith.
You don't have to see the whole staircase,

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~

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.

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.

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.
