God is still in the miracle business

My Dear Family· The Salesman

We are celebrating 23 years of marriage today.
And we are proof that God still performs miracles today.
This last year has held many challenges. I’ve not blogged since September 2010 and part of the reason was because of struggles in our marriage, family and home. We have not arrived by any means; but praise His Name, God is still in the miracle working business!

    And I've missed you sweet girl. I am glad to rejoice with you over God's miracles. Thank You, Jesus! I am also coming out of a very difficult "place" or season the past 10 months…in ministry as a pastor's wife. People will sure hurt and disappoint. But oh let me testify! Our God is faithful and He is my Rock, my Refuge, and my Strong Tower.

    Love your beautiful wedding picture. We celebrated 34 years on 6-11-77!

    Much love sweet one,
    Jan (Gran Jan, GA Jan) 🙂

    Hold tight to each other, hold tight to God, and persevere. Run the race set before you…

    Love and hugs,

    Happy Anniversary! The end of August is our 23rd anniversary. Plenty of bumps and bruises along the way. A lot of hard work… tears… and struggles, but God has brought us through… and perhaps better than ever. And I pray that for you, too.

    What a wonderful photo – I hope you're doing better …struggles are just that . . . sometimes so painful and frustrating. I keep thinking about Israel's instructions (and the instructions to us as well) . . . when you meet those obstacles, that's where we need to cry out to h Lord. That's where He meets us. These days are difficult . . . much going on in our world. I hope I can cry out to Him in all things. Drop by when you can . . . I have email too if you so desire. Love and Hugs, Jenn (I'm working from a different blog provider).

    Me again, just checking in.
    Hang in there!
    God doesn't leave us …. ever.
    Studying Beth Moore's Stepping Up, and the 123d Psalm – keeping our eyes on our Father – cuz He knows what we go through, how we'll fare and He'll give us peace we can't have any other way.
    Take care! Jenn

I have never seen anything like what I saw when I I have never seen anything like what I saw when I walked in Walmart this last week. 

Right there where they normally have fresh berries and Grainger county tomatoes and such, was a Valentine’s Day floral display the size of an above ground swimming pool. 

And I wanted to dive in the deep end. 

There were blooms as far as my eye could see and there was no way possible to get every one in the picture, though I tried. 

I wish you lived in my town and we’d go enjoy them together. 

It’s going to be a beautiful Valentine’s Day! 

Scroll right to see the biggest display ever and a few colorful, and beautiful, bouquets.

I’m carrying forward the childhood joy of openin I’m carrying forward the childhood joy of opening my Raggedy Ann lunch box to find mama had cut my sandwich out with heart shaped cookie cutters.

♥️

It’s the little things.

♥️

I got my mama’s heart shaped cookie cutters out & am serving love & beauty with heart shaped, & heart healthy, Trim Healthy Mama Blender Freezer Waffles. Shout out to the organic Aldi raspberries that appear to be heart shaped as well!

The waffles are Salesman approved. ♥️

I make an entire batch of the waffles & keep them in a refrigerator box so he can grab them just like a L’eggo My Eggo & enjoy the convenience of healthy, & now heart-shaped, waffles.

You can see the Salesman’s legs in the background of one of the pictures of me trying to capture the perfect picture of the heart shaped waffles.  I stepped out on the back porch, which is right outside his office, and he came out to see what I was doing.  And let me tell you, he had a good laugh seeing me trying to get the picture perfect shot of my plate of love!  After he ribbed me a bit, I told him that I really enjoyed taking pictures, & he then shared a nugget, or two, about the photography industry.

This is us. ♥️

This is me carrying on a tradition my mama started of making sweet memories for holidays & special occasions. It did not cost any money to use my childhood cookie cutters, it was just a sweet, and delicious, investment of time.

The most beautiful memories are tied with heart strings & not purse strings. ♥️
