Flowers…

002pk

This $4 bunch of white carnations has gotten an awful lot of attention by me on my blog this week!

Every day they’ve brought a smile to my face and even the Hubs said, “I like having fresh flowers in the house.”  

To me this translates into permission granted to buy them more often!

In the summer I have daisies and hydrangeas and other “free” flowers to bring inside,

but having fresh flowers in the house in the winter is most definitely a simple pleasure!

  4. I'm sitting here looking at a little vase of assorted flowers that the husband got at the farmer's market. I totally understand this simple pleasure because it's definitely one of mine.

    Frugal as I am, I just think a simple bunch of flowers is worth the extra pennies. Love this.

  6. Oh Elizabeth...I found the carnations in the La Grande (OR) Safeway yesterday! Now I have some of those beautiful white blossoms with the spicy fragrance. I blogged about them today, and about their connection to my new teddy bear.

  8. Thank you for visiting my blogs. I lived in KC for 18 mos. in 1999-2000 at the birth of IHOP. I was a part of the night watch team. But I spent many hours in IHOP daily with my four children too. I was a home educator so it was easy to bring them along. Misty moved there the month after we did, so I met her when she was only 19yrs old. Her prophetic singing peirced my heart every time and tears would flow down my face like a waterfall. It was very hard to move back to Cali but it was what the Doctors told my hubby to do. I got very sick there and almost died. When we moved back home I slowly got well and the LORD healed me of different things. Many fears took hold of me through that move...it was traumatic. When we drove through the Sierra Nevadas we were in awe and cried deeply. We were home. He has restored so much. Our home *Sea Cottage* is on healon way. And He has healed me here. I have been able to enter into His promised rest and live a quiet, contemplative life. Recently He lead me to the Catholic church...it is the faith my husband grew up in...more restoration is taking place. A returning to the Father. Currently He is leading me deeper in abiding. Without His love, I am nothing.

    I recently removed my follower buttons from my blogs...I am sorry for the inconvenience. If you have a bloglist you can just add me to it and then visit as often as you like.
