Welcome and blessings!!

Today's art is one of those times that it didn't turn out as I anticipated, but the important thing is the time spent with God in His word. That is always an A+. I know what I would have done differently now. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, eh? lol
Sorry for the bad lighting, too.

Day 12/100 Days of Grace & Gratitude

Welcome and Happy Veteran's Day!

I want to thank everyone who has served in our armed forces and is now serving. I want to add first responders to this thankfulness, also. Although we are not in a war, sometimes it feels like it with all that is going on. The news is horrendous on any given day. So, thank you to everyone who puts their life on the line to save mine.

Like I said the other day, there is so much to be thankful for and this is just a partial list on my pages. I am truly thankful for everything I have been blessed with in my life.

Day 12.

Day 11/100 Days of Grace & Gratitude

Welcome to my blog!!

Before I share my pages today I just wanted to make sure that you know
YOU Are Loved by God.
You know that, right?
YOU are the one who puts the twinkle in His eyes.
YOU are the one He wants to know and spend time with.
YOU are the apple of His eye.
Please remember that always.
God laid that on my heart to tell you.

Okay. Day 11.
Do you get grumpy or are you grateful?
I have to admit, sometimes I get grumpy and grumble.
I'm working on trying to turn that around to gratefulness.
We can always find many, many things to be grateful for in our lives.
I'm grateful for YOU!!

                                                   (click on photo for larger view)

I made my background grumpy by scribbling my watercolor crayons around.
But then I made a list of some things I'm grateful for. 
I could write an endless list.

Exodus 16:8
You are not grumbling against us,
but against the Lord.

Blessings,
Deborah

Good morning and welcome to Day 5!

Is anyone here taking this journey with me? If you are, I would love to see your photos in the comments.

"Walking with Joy," is today's title for our devotion. You find so much joy when you walk beside the Lord. Always find the joy no matter what the situation. Praise Him constantly. There you find your joy.

may be in you,
and your joy may be complete.

Blessings,
Deborah

Day 3/100 Days of Grace & Gratitude

Welcome and blessings!

Day 3 in my "100 Days of Grace and Gratitude" devotional.

I've been trying out how to make different backgrounds trying to use all the supplies I have collected over the past several years. I made this one using ink stamp pads and daubers, then a background stamp and black ink. I like how it turned out.

                                                     (click on photo for larger view)

I am also including at least five things I am thankful for each day. At the end of the book I will have 500 things I have thanked the Lord for giving me.

Isaiah 26:3
He will keep in perfect peace those who trust in Him,
whose thoughts turn often to the Lord!
