Mrs. Charles Cowman tells of a poem she had heard about someone who was sick and tired of the path their life had taken. The person was a Christian, God had given their certain burdens to bear. They wanted change. Then they had a dream. Mrs. Cowman in her devotinal, Streams In The Desert (published in 1925) describes it.
In each of the four Gospels Jesus commanded us to take up our cross and follow him. It is also mentioned in the Bible that the difficult things we do in our lives that are according to God’s will, will help us to earn a crown that we could give to Jesus after we die.
Here’s the poem:

King David And His Son
I read in 1 Chronicles 28 this morning. It talked about King David and his son, Solomon who would become King after him. Here are some key verses from that passage that tell of God’s relationship between David and Solomon and God:
Are You A “Faith In God” Christian?
The cautious faith that never saws off a limb, never learns that unattached limbs find strange unaccountable ways of never falling. –Chuck Swindoll
What are you doing today? It would be an excellent deed if you showed respect and honor to God on this day of rest.
You should kick back, take about 30 minutes and enjoy a good sermon (:

When life gets you down remember this (if you’re a Christian):
My home is God Himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wildfire
Here’s a pretty song, the extended version sung by Micheal Martin Murphy. It was popular when I was around 9 years old:
Live with a symphony
Firefall
These songs are old and some may think a little cheesy. I like ’em anyway. They’re the band Firefall from the ’70’s. They have a good melody and positive words. I couldn’t find real good videos I mostly just wanted to hear the songs anyway:
Just Remember I Love You
Birthday Card Bible Verses

Granny’s Apron
I wonder if Mrs. Happy Housewife wears a pretty apron when she cooks and cleans for her family? She probably does and it probably has been crispily starched (:
The vintage apron thing has been filling my mind tonight. I decided to check out the apron lady’s website. And I found a sweet little hidden treasure within its pages! But first let me lead you to her gallery of the prettiest little vintage aprons around!
And now the crowning event of my blogging evening. I love this part . . .
Precious And Pleasant Riches
A few years back I memorized a couple of Bible verses. I wanted them to come true in our family life so I made them into a prayer spoken often. They were wise, pretty and poetic words found in the book of Proverbs, King James Version.
Here is the Main Objective (a teaching term) for learning this year in our household:
Through wisdom is an house builded;
and by understanding it is established:
And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
–Proverbs 24:3-4
Vintage Aprons
Vintage, feminine, conservative, motherly and an old-fashioned symbol of the homemaker. I love all that they represent. When I was a little girl my mom had a pillow case full of aprons and crotched doilies.
