"This momentous achievement marks a victory for America, for people who seek peace around the world, and for all those who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001. The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done" (George W. Bush ~ May 1, 2011)

Happy Easter greetings

Wishing you all a Blessed Easter! Praying that you will be able to spend it with the ones that mean the most to you and I ask that you would pray along with me for those who are serving in the military and those who are unable to be with their loved ones this weekend. May we pause to celebrate God's Love for us all (John 3:16,17) ♥

a personal thought....

continuing to pray for those whose lives have been impacted by the horrible 8.9 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Hawaii and on the west coast.    When disasters like this happen it causes us to remember how fragile life is...
 "LORD, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will listen to their cries and comfort them"       PSALM  10:17

March 4, 2011

A kind endorsement : )

"If you get a chance look up The Olde Country Shoppe on FB. Its a great little shop! With Spring around the corner it will be open soon and you can check it out in person or if you live to far away you can check it out and order online" 
A sweet customer's (and friend) kind quote about my shoppe....   Will be opening soon for Spring but always open by Appointment or chance ~

‎"The LORD is my shepherd; I have everything I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.  You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies.  You welcome me as a guest, anointing my head with oil.  My cup overflows with blessings.  Surely goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever"    PSALM 23
