Sweet Sunday Scripture....

 
There is nothing that smells better than fresh apples cooking
on the stove...
The house smells like Fall...
Cinnamon....
Sugar....
A little nutmeg....
Butter...
YUM!!!!!!!

Of course you have to have Fresh biscuits with those
fried apples......

 
Another wonderful Smell....
Bread baking in the oven...
 
 
 
 
Again.... YUM!

 
Buttery brown biscuits and fried apples....
 
It pleases the palette
 
Just as the Lord pleases the soul and body....
There is nothing Sweeter than the work of the Lord in our lives....
If you haven't had a little taste of His goodness...
I would challenge you to read
 
Psalms 34:8
 
Taste and see that the LORD is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
 
It does not mean "check out and see God's credentials".
 
It is a warm invitation to...
 
"try it, I know you'll like it"
 
When we take the first step of obedience in following God,
we will descover that he is good and kind...
When we begin the Christian life,
our knowledge of God is partial and incomplete.
As we trust him daily,
we truly experience how good He is!
 
I have tasted His Goodness!
 
Won't you;
"Taste and See that the Lord is Good!"
 
BLESSINGS!

One Man's Junk is another Man's Treasure....

One Mans Junk is another Mans Treasure......
 
 
A few weeks ago I hit.......and I mean hit it running
the 127 North to South Road Route called...
 
"The World's Longest Yard Sale"..
 
 
Several of us road in my brothers huge double cab truck....
That thing was super hard to climb in and out of.....:(
3 kids and 3 adults....
The kids loved it too...
There is something for everyone!
 
We successfully filled the truck completely up..
We had to tie things down so they would not fly away....lol
 
Here is just a few of my finds...
 

These beauty's cost me $25.00 for the pair..
Yes, you heard it right...
$12.50 per chair....
That is why I love the 127 Yard Sale....
You can find anything
and at great prices....



Look at all the curvy goodness...
They are a lovely pair of ladies....
 
They are curvy, sturdy and strong....
I have plans to recover them with this wonderful roll of burlap
that I got at Goodwill for $9.50
It has several yards on the roll.
It is a soft sturdy type of burlap used for reupholster
 More on those two later...

 
 
Love, love,love this old Farmhouse bench....



The dealer wanted $45.00 for her
I was able to get her for $28.00..
Yes, she cost me but she was so worth it...
 
She is about 6 foot long and has glorious chippy goodness....
The main color is an old grey with a white paint underneath..
She is perfect!!!
Isn't it wonderful when being old, wrinkled and worn is a good thing!
 


 
Wow! To think how a yard sale can change a person's junk
into another buyers treasure!
And that is how God operates in us too!
God uses what others throw away...



Each of us is valuable to God and to the body of Christ...

He has made each of us for a unique purpose..
regardless of what others may think of us...
God sees us as a valued treasure...




I bought this beauty at the local Vendor's Mall
A little paint....
$24.00......wooohoooo!


1 Corinthians 1:26-29 states
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise.
He chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
And he chose what the world thinks is not important.
He chose what the world hates and thinks is nothing.
He chose these to destroy what the world thinks is important.
God did this so that no man can brag before him.”

In this scripture, Paul is telling the people of Corinth that they have received
 a “calling” or an invitation from God.
They have received it –
not others who are well-to-do,
strong, good-looking,
 resourceful
or have good connections with the right people.
He chose those who appeared “foolish”
(absurd, dull, thoughtless)
and those who appeared “weak” (feeble, impotent, sick)
to shame those who were considered “wise” and “mighty” in man's eyes.

In much the same way that One man's junk can be another mans treasure.

God sees value in YOU!
He sees what others do not.....

I guess you could say God is the Yardsale expert......

You are Special!!!
You are HIS treasure!!!!

BLESSINGS!
