Thanks Friends

Thanks Clint!!

And all my many mates on here! 

Jeremiah 29:11  

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, 

“Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, 

Plans to give you hope and a future.

It is TIME, Thank you Sandie!!
Time to look into the Kalidoscope and see the beauty of patterns and colours.
Time to Realise, See and be Glad for, all the many Blessings God bestows.
Positive for negative.....
Turning Scars into Stars....
"Finally, brothers and sisters, 
whatever is true, 
whatever is noble, 
whatever is right, 
whatever is pure, 
whatever is lovely, 
whatever is admirable—
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—
think about such things.
Philippians 4:8

ROGERSVILLE, TENNESSEE

There is no place like home and although I only lived and worked in Rogersville for three years, a piece of me remains there.
It is an historical town with quaint antique shops in the old section.
Established in the 1770's, it is one of the oldest towns in Tennessee.
I thought I was in Heaven when I first arrived because everyone was so sweet and kind. Driving on the opposite side of the road  was a little confusing at first, yet no-one lost their patience. They sat and waited, then with a friendly wave, saw me on my way....
It certainly was a learning process.  

This was our home in the woods.
Amid the woodpeckers and squirrels.
It was enchanting to an Ozzie.
At the first sign of snow I ran around with the camera trying to capture all the white magic..
Living in the tropics of Queensland we don't see this in winter.



My church family.
It took a while to find somewhere I felt at home.
But I discovered CROSSROADS was the place to be.
( When you come to that place in your life, and you don't know which way to go. Take the road to the CHRIST )  
Here I soon discovered, acceptance love and friendship with excellent teaching and wonderful singing and music.
About a year after I left, the precious church family came together for this photo. 
They all got together to wave me hello....but a few are missing.
Prima and Zena, where are you??



 
On Roan Mountain.
It's not that far away and my hubby took me there to see it in the snow..
One word...BEAUTIFUL.!!




The staff of Amedisys Home Health.
A lovely group of girls and a pleasure to work with.
Lori our boss is seated on the bottom right with me standing on (R)behind her. 
The best part of this work was everyone belonged to the Lord. 
Much care and love is given out to the Patients. 



 
Crystal and Nancy.
Everyone needs a good friend and mine was and still is, Nancy.
Both registered nurses we attended the same church, shared with each other and prayed together.
Nancy and her hubby John are special folk.
They give out of themselves and nothing is ever too much trouble. 
True Believers.

It Is Written:
And he (JESUS) is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. (Colossians 1:18-20)
Praise His Holy Name.  Amen.

Award

This is hard for me as I am not one for the spotlight.

Sheri from http://livingitupinky.blogspot.com/
has given me this 'Lovely Blog' award....
I thank you dear sister with all my heart...

There are so many lovely Blogs on here and mine, is by no means, one of the best.
But, I'd be very rude not to respond with a thankful heart.
On the other hand, Sheri does have a very endearing site, so please take time to stop by.

The 'Lovely Blog' Rules:
1. Link back to the person who nominates you for this award (above)
2. Pass it along to 7 other 'Inspiring Bloggers.'
3. Share 7 things about yourself. 

Passing this award along is not easy as some won't want to participate.
I have chosen women as I cannot see the men wanting to take part even though there are a couple I would love to nominate.... 

My selection in no particular order: (how do you choose when all are great)..

My happy lady:  USA

*Click on to the above and share some inspiration. 

About myself:
1. I love a deep bubble bath with glowing candles all around...
2. Fruit is the best food on earth, I eat pineapple until my tongue hurts.
3. I'm too soft hearted.
4. If I could play an instrument it would be the violin.
5. I wish I could run like I used to (need a new knee).
6. My mother is my greatest inspiration.
7. I believe its better to be humble than proud.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things. (from Philippians 4:8 of God's Word)

Where To Now Lord??

FROM: PSALM 139
O Lord, you have searched me

and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O Lord.



Crystal and Friend



Where can I go from your Spirit?

Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths,a you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

We were two young women on the brink of life.
Work mates both in our early twenties..
Neither knew where life was going to take us.
Yet we both trusted in our Lord for direction.
The road wasn't easy, we both had much to learn.
But we survived, because our guide led the way.
We survived because we trusted in Him.
And after almost 40yrs, we both still do.
The secret is believing in His Word...
And remaining strong in Him....
Our Savour, Christ Jesus.
