Wed. Coffee Break...


Join me for a cup of joe. Pull up a chair and lets' have a visit.
Let's skip the pastry or donut though.

How many of those have we had in our lifetime anyway?

I have had enough to pad my hips and well...

enough is enough. Goodbye sugar.

Where was I?


Verse that I loved today:


Proverb 13:3

He who guards his lips guards his life,

but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.

Boy have a had to learn how right this verse is way too many times in my life. With my husband and children and well...everyone. True words to live by.


Speaking of sharing coffee. I remember as a child my Mom walking across the street to her good friend Dorothy's house and having coffee every few days. They loved getting together and I loved how much fun they had talking and laughing and probably crying sometimes about life and their husbands and kids. What a blessing it was to Mom to have a friend so close and to enjoy that friendship over hot, percolated coffee. I am thankful too for the friends that I am blessed on occasion to be able to sit down at a table and share a cup of coffee with. We just don't do it often enough.


Randomness...I have been doing some searching for ways to feel better lately and have found an incredible naturalpathic (holistic) doctor here where we live. She is blessing me and helping me to feel better. I will write in detail about all of that soon.


I also have been incorporating an Advocare product called Spark.


It. Is. AWESOME.


I am loving feeling better and having more energy. Great addition to my coffee habit! ha. But I am beginning to see that I just might not need coffee at all when taking this peppy little drink. All in all it has been a lovely, productive, gorgeous spring Wed.


I pray that your day has been wonderful too. There are so many things in the world that we could be sad or depressed about. Let's choose to be positive. To be the half glass full kind of people instead of the half glass empty kind of people. After all, we have the message of hope and salvation for the world...Jesus.


Thanks for coming over for coffee and for yakking about random things. Come again!


Blessings. Amy

Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I am trying to hav

Camp Blue Haven-2012

Image
Mountains green, sparkling streams, every morning you greet me. Pine trees tall, waterfalls, blue skies canopied o'er me. May I know as I live and grow, God forsakes me never. May His love from above bless Blue Haven forever.  And what a blessing it was this summer to be back up in the cool mountains with so many people that we love.  As I reflected on this special place I thought about how big of an influence it has been on our children and our hearts.  At camp time slows down. There are so few distractions. The focus is on fellowship, enjoying God's creation and growing in knowledge of Him.  It has been a place to teach us what our life in this world should be about. It has also been a glimpse of what I think heaven will be a little like.  It has taught us to stay close to one another, to be accountable to each other and to live an out loud life for Christ. No holding back. Living it. Because of the encouragement and growth that happens here we are bett
