Into my heart

Into my heart,

Into my heart,

Come into my heart, Lord Jesus.

Come in today,

Come in to stay,

Come into my heart, Lord Jesus.

OK!  so i had a good nights sleep and inspiration came to me in the morning!  Mom used to make lots of these boxes to put little things in.  This one is especially cute.  It is only about two inches across.  And it reminded me of the little childrens song above.

 

we are going to have a pink christmas ladies banquet this year and this is the start of the decorations.  it is very hard to find pink decortions this year.  i wanted the guys to wear pink ties also.  i may have to make some.

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY FOLKS

sorry i am just too tired to post but i do wish you a happy day

ROYAL COLOR

PINK FLOWERS FIT FOR A QUEEN

these are my favorite pink dresses on the royal family, they are so lovely and elegant and perfect for each one.  Have a wonderful pink saturday!!

At the end of my rainbow

 I seek no golden prize

For the key to my kingdom

Is the face of the Master.

Gain and power and riches

Are thrills I'll never miss

For the key to my kingdom

Is the thrill of His voice

Savior!, I have more

Than fame and fortune

Every time I read your Word

And with the Spirit around my soul

All the world's at my command

If this world should ever fail

And friends should leave me

My world would tumble down

But You're the key to my kingdom

And your love is my crown

Yes, yes, if this world should ever fail

Ever friends should leave me

All of my world would tumble down

For Savior you are the key to my kingdom

And your love is my crown

Yes, You're the key to my kingdom

And your love is my crown

Yes, You're the key to my kingdom

And your love, your love is my crown

PINK NAILS

There are many different kinds of nails!!  construction nails, pretty nails like the pink ones here!!  fake nails for your fingernails, my son says in .bolivia nails are hard to find and are very expensive,  he is right because i tried  to find a couple of nails when i was down there and we only found three on the whole campus which were lying on a tucked away table, unused and red dirt lined and when i tried to pound them into the post it was near to impossible as the wood is very hard down there.  the girl in this picture  is making a business out of selling these nails and if anyone knows where i can get a couple i would love to know!!!

and then we have another kind of nail, although the look and material that they were made out of is the same as ordinary nails, these ones had a purpose and fulfilled a prophecy.  Three rusty nails describes the picture.........

This is a story of long ago of a man who owned a little store.

As he would tell it, "I was proud to have my name above the door."

This took place, oh, about two thousand years ago, as I recall,

I was located in Jerusalem, just across the street from Pilate's hall.

And I had everything anyone would ever need;

Why, folks would come from miles around, regardless of their creed.

But there was only one thing I had I thought would never sell,

So I placed it in a corner on a shelf ----three old rusty spike nails.

Then one day a Roman soldier came through the door,

And as he walked up to me, it seemed he shook the floor.

I said, "Can I help you, Sir?" in a voice I 'm sure seemed frail.

He looked at me with a sneering grin and said,

"I'd like to buy some nails - some big, big nails."

"Well, you see, Sir, three's all I have."

"Oh, That'll do. For the job I have, three's enough - - -Now how much do I owe you?"

He placed the money in my hand, and I was glad to make the sale.

Then I began to wonder, and I asked,

"Sir, what can you do with just three spike nails?"

"Did you ever hear of a man called Jesus the Nazarene?"

"You mean the one they call the Son of God?"

"Yes, that's the one. Today I intend to show the world who's boss,

For with these three nails I'm going to nail that man Jesus to a cross."

You'll never know how numb I felt - as on my knees I fell.

"Please sir, don't do that!" - but he just turned and walked away

I said, "Please, let me buy them back!"

But he just looked at me and grinned.

And in the distance, I could see the howling mob

Through the tears that filled my eyes.

"Away with him" "Crucify him!" I could hear their angry cries.

But over the top of all the noise and groans of agony,

I can still hear the sound of a hammer as that big Roman soldier---Nailed my Jesus to a tree."

With three rusty nails, they nailed Jesus to a tree;

And His blood washed my sins away.

granddaughters helping each other put on their boots which seems to be too small for her, push girl pull it on!!!!

they love jumping on the bed and sleeping in it as well becase of the pedestals and roses on the spread,  they are pink of course!!

PINK

GOOD MORNING, happy sabbath


this is the first week that i absolutely ran out of pink things to put in this blog!!!!!,  so i am just saying have a wonderful day and may the coming week bring you happiness.....
this was given to me by a lady, who , when I first movd to my home town, was very active in the church, such an excellent organizer and friendly person, then something happened, and she became distant, involved in many court battles with her family to which the courts say is unfounded, and now after having seven kids who are grown up now, and a second attempt at putting their marriage back together, has filed for a divorce and maybe I was the one who could have been nicer to her.???


To end I will share a small recipe,  my daughter and I went to this Mexican restaurant and the meal was so good......I made it at home afterwards....


RECIPE:
Corn tortilla  layered with refried beans and cooked sweet potatoe and corn. One more layer with corn tortilla.  you can bake this or put it in the microwave.  Then top with chopped lettuce, a green salsa and a pink onion. 

THAT'S what it was!!!!,  A PINK ONION!!  a white onion soaked in something that made it pink!!!  I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT IT  But alas....no picture....

Smoke Gets in your eyes!!!

 A wonderful pink smoke cloud, a beautiful sunrise on the way to work,

Well! whether it is a smoke bush, a pretty pink dress, or the lyrics of a song when the sultry Barbara Striesand sings it, and the pastel colors of the sunrise, your eyes see pink all day and it just makes you happy!! 

have a wonderful pink Saturday everyone.

trump

Oh Yeeah!  and I saw the TRUMP airplane  in  Miami

PINK MEMORIES

A great morning to all who are reading this,  i am just remembering the many stops at the airport to south america and waiting in the early morning hours for the flight to begin. i noticed several pink things and felt only brave enough to take this picture of a lady sleeping on the benches.  the bottom of her shoes said SPRING  in pink!!!!   Well!  we are a long ways off from spring and i wish we could skip winter this year.    There was also a lady carrying a bright pink shopping bag with bamboo shoots in it.

not a very good picture of me as i just finished a three day flight but MISS SANTA CRUZ was gracious enough to take a picture with me.  What a beautiful girl!

a picture taken on the way to work at seven in the morning here back home.  we all have the same beauty where ever we go!!.awesome red skies lately.  we also have had a lot of snow on the mountaintops too.

Pink evening skies of Guayaramerin

She is wearing pink flowers in her hair

The dusty red roads and a bridge to match in Guayara was built high and the road was sloping down quite a bit, i was wondering what the intention was, maybe they were going to build the road higher....

This week i am really encouraged by the wonderful words ffrom the Bible i read and what a great God we have.  as a single person i am so glad that i have God who knows who and what and where and how and when i am.  May you be blest today as a single and also as a married individual person!

Psalm 139

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.

5 You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

PINK SKIES OF GUAYARA

STAY TUNED, today i will try and post more pictures, but i have been so busy and tired, but today is the day. WISHING you all a happy day and God bless................

Value Village

Feliz Sabado, happy sabbath, and a pink one at that!!!

just returned from prince george with my daughter and her daughter. it is a five hour drive one way. my daughter had to have a ct scan as she was blacking out all the time and getting head aches. in a few days we will now the results.
in the meantime , as the scan only took three minutes, we did some shopping at value village and the craft stores, spent way too much money, but it sure was fun, this vw was the best thing we saw on the way. i just loved it....someone must have used it for a parade or something and then put it here under the welcome sign to the town. but there is a layer of dirt all over the car and then som moss of some sort and then some meshing to hold things in place and as you can see they planted flowers. good thinking.................eh!!

look what i found at value village..................pretty candlestick holders, a couple of scrapbooks and a cute tin candle holder..... the scredrive i bought at home hardware because it was.................PINK!!!

because it is saturday i will leave you with a few thoughts in jeremiah 15..........................

(Jer 15:18) Why do I keep on suffering? Why are my wounds incurable? Why won't they heal? Do you intend to disappoint me like a stream that goes dry in the summer?"

(Jer 15:19)

To this the LORD replied, "If you return, I will take you back, and you will be my servant again. If instead of talking nonsense you proclaim a worthwhile message, you will be my prophet again. The people will come back to you, and you will not need to go to them.

(Jer 15:20)

I will make you like a solid bronze wall as far as they are concerned. They will fight against you, but they will not defeat you. I will be with you to protect you and keep you safe.

(Jer 15:21)

I will rescue you from the power of wicked and violent people. I, the LORD, have spoken."

a lot of the time we wonder why trouble comes to us when we do our best to be good citizens, be friends with our neighbors and good to our kids, eat right etc....and then we cry to God, why is this happening. There may be things and reasons in our lives that need changing. if our self esteem is not where it could be, try remembering that God said I will, throughout the whole bible. if you come back to me, do my will, i will bring you back to me. it does not matter what we have done in the past, he says i will be with you

well to me that says everything, because he has forgiven my sins and is just waiting for me to give the word and he will be right there to help me sort my life out. it is better with God in my life. life will be sweeter with him in it.

happy sabbath................

HOME AGAIN

Good morning everybody out there..........................
well finally i am home and it is hard to believe. with mixed feelings i am glad to be home but i miss the christian atmosphere and my son and the campus where i visited in Bolivia. Even thru the heat i really enjoyed myself. with in the next few weeks i will try and post some pictures together.
this is a beautiful pink fungus from Bolivia.

Pink hats i got the girls and shirts from Miami

when in Bolivia i purchased a pink tub and a brush to wash clothes in the creek as where i was there were no facilitiesl............................as an after thought this is not my leg but my son's, he is getting his big toe looked after by the nurse after gouging it with a shovel....ooooo very painful

happy pink saturday..............

good morning everybody

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY EVERYBODY

HELLO HELLO! We are NOT having a very good morning or nite either. The little grandson did not sleep very well. He was crying every hour all night long. OK. so we did not sleep either....BUT here we are.............Rise and Shine on this pink saturday. Zucchini casserole again. Potluck for the girls as they look forward to that after church.

PICKING BROCCOLI and having fun pulling it off the bush, they both grabbed it and fell down......

the excitement coming to grandmas this time was finding potatoes in the ground and picking raspberries

and here is a rare sight now a days...........a logging truck
i am leaving for bolvia tomorrow...wish me a safe trip and see you in a month

may the good Lord watch between you and me until we meet again!!!

ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY EVERYONE AND GOOD MORNING.

It is early yet and so i am just doing my post now. This girl loves to take pictures, she loves to pose, and takes a very good picture also!!! but she also got a very good pink picture too of the petunia down below. Pink is her all time favorite color.

she caught it just right the pea pod goin down into the bowl!!!!!!
pink fushias that have fallen on the porch.................

Zucchini casserole-----this was my favorite recipe as a kid at home.. Very simple to make----just slice your veggie and onions, sprinkle salt and add tomato soup with water and mozzerella on top. Bake.

I did see a few other pink things this week, but again the camera was stuck under the seat. Driving to Town one day i came up behind this older car, which i was thinking to myself..........hummm this is just like the car i used to have, must be a single person moving as it was packed full. Drove up closer and I could not believe my eyes!!!! had to look three times.....there it was!! you wouldn't believe it!!!! A PINK BIKE SEAT on an adult bike. and no camera. well i am telling you aabout it anyway....

AND how could i forget...a dinner we went to at a friends house....she served homemade fresh mushroom soup with morals in a flowered rose bowl, fresh garden salad on matching pink rose plate with fresh braided bread on a rose side plate. What a treat!

Just a thought.........

Luke 23:46 (King James Version)
46And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

When all is said and done and our lives have reached a peak, it seems sometimes we go on a downward trend, and as Jesus did, He gave his life or breath to the Father again. I have tried to do that this week as some things have been happening in my life and i am about to take a long flight to Bolivia. I say that my life is in the Father's hands. this may not be an appropriate verse, but it hit the spot and the thought that Jesus must have been so glad it was over and what a lot He went thru.

hope your week is great and may the Father look after you.

Pinkless Clouds, but a pink bow............

Good morning everyone and Happy PInk SAturday to all ......as usual just when you think the color pink is getting scarce or you have shown it all already, there comes a few other things that are pink and ta da!!!!....you have a few pink things................but as you can see in these cloud pictures nothing is pink...........but keep looking!!!..you will find it.................................................... about 65 km from home i saw this huge cloud billowing out in front of me, it was fantastic.....and sort of by itself to be a thundercloud............... the closer i got to home it changed into an intersting shape...............but sorry...........no pink......not yet..........but if you look real close you can find it..........it was awesome.....there was a forestfire and this one could have began with that................

here is another interesting cloud that i took on the way home..........just a tiny one that seemed to be getting bigger..........now doesn't that remind you of something...............Jesus says that when He comes again to this earth that a small could will appear in the sky the size of a man's hand and as it comes toward earth it will get larger and larger. Angels will make up this cloud and in its center will be the King of Kings. The angels will rush down and we will be caught up together with Him in the cloud...................... What a day that will be, When with Jesus we will be.....now that song???????a cake that i made with pink flowers

lastly....!!!!!! bought a mini computer,, it was blue, but i saw these ear phones and they were pink, so i bought them............

FIREWEED

Hello and happy Pink Sabbath!!!!!
pink things were scarce this week, but here is my flowers again from a previous post, the flowers had died and now new flowers are starting to grow!!!, I was so excited............. and then I realized that Fireweed flowers are everywhere. Although near the end of their season they still show a brilliant color.

this picture was taken thru my car window as invaribly that is how most of my pictures are taken--on the way to work--

my back yard is all lined with fireweed, and then below is a pinkish ribbon that my seven year old granddaughter grabbed and tied around the hibiscus tree.....pretty huh!

the first picture is dinner....stir fry soup or something......hope everyone has a great week and a very pink day.

GO TO MY DAYBOOK HERE

POTHOLDERS

Good morning 'all. This is what i call sleeping in!!!............getting up at 7:30am. hahhaha. NOW I am up and I can write a few words to these pictures.
These are the Pink potholders that my mom had made. Actually she made a few dozen of them. I am beginning to realize what a patient person she was thru her married life with us kids and then thru her illness at her last days. She was not in good shape in the end, full of morphine and yet she could smile thru the whole thing and not a complaint was heard. I shall link here to a page for this day if you care to read about our family ----family letter----


y This is how the day started this morning and by the late afternon we had a terrific rainstorm, It just pelted down and was almost white. Amazing....

Playboy Roses that are more orange than pink, but some are pink, my bush really flourished again this year.....

Lillies ----a beautiful pink.....

Timeless PINK in different shades, such beauty and fun and personalities. And the Father in heaven made them all in one day. And in one day He made man/woman, the next day he had to rest!!!! And one day He will come again and give us rest! There are no words of comfort, for in the end it will be heart wrenching, as in death, the loss of a loved one, BUT, we are given the promise that there will be no death, we will be rich like Jesus, we will sit on the throne beside him, wonderful promises in this chapter of His own words........Revelation 3

Recipies----have you heard of Pink Lady Apples!!!!! here is a website with apple recipies. this one sounds interesting and for you who are raw foodists i am sure a raw version could be whipped up in the blender......lets see....what can we do.....

place some celery and apple in the juicer...................hummmm....smells good......add some soymilk and a dash of chicken like seasoning, a little salt and pepper. Blend it. add sliced celery apples and thyme for decoration. Oil???? maybe olive oil!!! and maybe lemon. tomato on the side.

Well i am gong to try this it sounds strange but good----here is the page

Smile.............

Well!! it is late....at one in the morning......haha...it has been a busy day.....Friday off from work....i love these long weekends.....there is so much to do around the house....i cleaned, did my dishes, vaccumed, mowed the lawn, watered the garden, cooked the black beans, and went to Smithers, about 45 minutes away, with the truck, which is a standard and a pain to drive in town but I had some things to pick up, like peat moss and some pink astillbe, and a perennial pansy that is flecked with purple. Interesting!!!,

And so the day is closed and i was thinking about the title of this blog and took a picture of my most comfortable moment ----- climbing into bed......amongst all the pink things...like the new pjs i bought that are pink, the blanket that i am using for a blind is pulled back with a pink hair clip, and the light is one that i have had there ever since i moved to Hazelton, it has pink and white stripes...i made it.....and of course my pink curtains...everything is kind of mismatched and there are things all over the place!!!!!.....but it is so comfortable.....I lie there with the window open and listen to the night..........cool breeze blowing the leafy trees, hushed roar of the river close by......the neighbors night lights are dabbled between the leafy branches.....and somewhere out there the angels are playing in the tall treetops and waving the branches.....................i took a picture and then came back to the computer and took another one ......the shell you see here with the pink ribbon that someone had given me on a present.......

Thank you for sharing this moment with me, i hope you have a good nite too and a HAPPY PINK SATURDAY, i copied this picture from another blog.... as i just love the saying and was thinking of the strawberry coconut dream cake that i have seen on a couple of blogs here....i love cupcakes.
i was thinking of Michael Jackson also and now that he is dead what a life he has had, so bitter sweet....but i love the song that was one of his favorites....and it seemed to me a good way to end the day.............

Smile though your heart is aching

Smile even though its breaking

When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow

Smile and maybe tomorrow

Youll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness

Hide every trace of sadness

Although a tear may be ever so near

Thats the time you must keep on trying

Smile, whats the use of crying?

Youll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile

Thats the time you must keep on trying

Smile, whats the use of crying?

Youll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just smile
