Sweet Sunday Scripture....

This barn is located in my hometown....

It sits adjacent to what is called the 

"Traveling Trail"

The "Traveling Trail" is described like this:

The trail, situated within a large meadow of Kentucky bluegrass,

 is nearly a mile long and contains shaded areas with benches. 

The trail will “travel” to different locations across the county 

to encourage citizens of the county to stay healthy. 

The park is open from dawn to dusk.

 Leashed and tagged dogs are welcome. 

Visit www.travelingtrail.org for upcoming events at the site.

Sounds very alluring......

Don't you think?

Makes me want to follow the trail.....

As I look at the path that circles around the meadow

it is obviously well traveled..

The trail had to begin with one person...

one ..... paving the way......

Others came and followed the path...

eventually.....

it was obvious to everyone where to walk....

I wonder...

What type of path do I leave....

Where do others see my life going...

Is it a path they want to follow...

Proverbs 5:6

The path of the righteous

is like the morning sun,

shining ever better until the full light of day....NIV

Believe it or not....

How we live our lives.....

is leaving a trail.....

A path.......

It will lead others to God

Or 

away from God....

Who is following you?

Where are you taking them........

Proverbs 3:5-6

trust in the Lord with all thine heart,

and lean not unto thine own understanding..

In all thy ways acknowledge him

and He shall direct they paths...

KJV

May your life be a pathway of Blessings to others!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Sweet Valentine's Blessings to All!!

Sweet Sunday Scripture.....

We are still covered in snow here in Kentucky......

The Winter Season has hung on with a vengeance......

Still.......

There is just something so beautiful and peaceful about a snow covered World...

It brings with it a season of rest........

It makes us slow down.........

stop......

Now don't get me wrong....

It is cold...

It is slippery...

And.....

I know many of you have had more than your share........

 why is it you have to wear your sunglasses in the Winter?

That just does not seem right....

right?

Winter has it own special color palette.

The color wheel of the universe 

gets all covered up

with a blanket of snow........

and falls to sleep......

and rests.....

The waiting begins.....

Can't you hear them singing....

"where have all the flowers gone

long time passing..."

Poor little boy and girl.....

Just standing there.....

Waiting Patiently....

Ready to receive what a new season brings....

Don't give up........

Spring is on her way!

Take time to enjoy the slower days of Winter...

Prepare your heart for the next season......

You never know what tomorrow may bring...

So enjoy today....

Song of Solomon 2:11-13

For behold, the winter is past; 

the rain is over and gone.

 The flowers appear on the earth, 

the time of singing has come,

 and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. 

The fig tree ripens its figs, 

and the vines are in blossom; 

they give forth fragrance. 

Arise, my love, my beautiful one, 

and come away.

God knows exactly what He is doing........

meanwhile......

Snow day Blessings to you!

Extreme Makeover..... YES!

As many of you know we have been in the middle of another remodel....

Here is our new project

Isn't she lovely?

well the outside is lovely......

Inside....

ewwhhhh.....

Not so much.....

she is carrying a lot of ugly baggage.....

original pics

I am happy to say.....

she is looking much better these days.....

One room is complete...

applause..

cheers....

maybe a little whistle....

Its the entry/foyer.....

Here she is before:

old carpet, ugly wallpaper and a dated light fixture.

I know just how she feels.....

Wearing the same old thing....

day by day....

Every girl needs a little makeover every now and then....

Right?

Just to make her feel special

needed and wanted....

When she gets all dolled up..

naturally she wants to show off....

Reveal her new self....

Here she is now!

Old carpet....gone

Old wall paper gone.....

Hello new!

Now she is all dressed up and feeling fine!

Can't you see her smiling.....

 and strutting her stuff.....

It is like being on a diet and reaching your first goal....

You know you are not finished yet 

but you sure want someone to notice the work....

The effort....

                                            crown molding...check

Extra molding over the entry doors...check

dining room door..gone 

pretty little corner corbels...check

new paint....check

Every girl wants to know she can look her prettiest at the best price....

I mean every girl loves a deal....Right?

here is mine......

It only cost me a gallon of floor paint and a little manual labor.....

Its like getting a new pair of shoes.......

Makes you feel ohhh so good!

and the stenciling......

 its like the pretty little sparkly things on your shoe...

It is amazing what you can do with paint.......

Come on girls..

We know what a little make up......

I mean paint.....

 can do......

We took up the old floors and put down 12 ml laminate flooring..

It looks great....

We  have pets and active Grands....

Much more sensible...

It is like a faux piece of jewelry

(faux-made in imitation; artificial)

No one knows it is not the real thing

because it looks so good........

When they compliment you and say........

"Oh your hardwood floors look great!"

You just smile and say...

"Why thank you"...

This is the next room........

Here is what she looks like........

Stayed tuned....

More reveal pics to come....

Thanks for stopping by!

BLESSINGS!
