How tweet!
I found an old mini blind at a yard sale to fit my kitchen window. The window faces west and gets blaring heat from the western sun in the afternoons. So I decided to make my own Roman shade using the mini blind. And look how cute it turned out!

My touch
I saw this at a thrift store and, well, it kept screaming "Take me home!"
It was kind of plain Jane but I had an idea.
Now...that's more like me.

Thus Preserved
Deep within the Word of God
I find my solace there
from all the disappointing lows
that weighed upon my care
He's lifted me from depths below
to where my hope did sink
and rescued me, my soul revived,
then pulled me from the brink
His restoration knows no bounds
He's engulfed me with a love
that was once out of reach to me
but now flows from above
O Wonderous Lord! How can I give
the thanks so well-deserved
for all the harm you've kept me from
well-loved and, thus, preserved

Easter Greetings
A lovely older lady from my church sent me an Easter card out of the blue. Tucked inside were the clipped out saying on the left and a beautiful note on pretty stationary with the very words I needed to encourage me.
God must have whispered to her that I love pink roses. Even the postage stamp had some on it.

Til I Believed in You
with Your amazing grace
to still my heart and heal the ache
No need to see Your face
You've opened a new world to me
I never had yet seen
No proof did I require then
to know that You had been
You filled my world with what it lacked
I knew it instantly
No one will ever take your place
You're with me constantly
That I had felt an earthly love
could do what You can do
just shows how narrow was my thought
'Til I believed in You
