I am just counting the days until it gets blooms on it. When do they start blooming?? It just continues to grow and it has added many new shoots on it. Gosh I just can't wait for it to bloom.

WHAT does your home say about you?

We all want to believe that we're not judged by our appearances, or by the appearances of our homes, but who are we kidding? We are! And whether we like it or not, we do make first impressions and they do count! Your home is a reflection of your inner self, and it says so much about you than you may have thought possible. Have you ever said to yourself,"If these walls could talk"? Well, they do! What does your home say about you? What was the state of your home when you left for work this morning? I realize that we are all in a hurry and looking for a few extra moments just to breathe, but you'd be amazed how just a few simple little steps in the morning and at night can really make a difference in your life..

My favorite place!!!!!
















Such a Haven for me...Many hours are spend in this flower garden..There is nothing any better than sitting and listening to the fountains. Gosh the most depressing place when winter comes..Hope you enjoy this flower as much as I have..

VERY TOUCHING!!!



ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH HERE
IN MERIDIAN YOUNG MARRIED COUPLES CLASS TOOK ON A PROJECT HERE AT THE WESLEY HOUSE COMMUNITY CENTER..THE FIRST PROJECT WAS TO BUILD A PLAYGROUND FOR JESUS. WHICH IS COMPLETED. NEXT TO OUR CENTER IS HIGHWAY VILLAGE APARTMENTS WHICH IS A VERY RUFF PLACE AT TIMES. THE PLAYGROUND IS SOMETHING FOR THOSE CHILDREN AND ANY CHILDREN THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME AND USE THE PLAYGROUND. SO FAIR THE GATE HAS BEEN TORN DOWN..NOT BAD AT ALL THE KIDS TRULY APPRECIATE THE PLAYGROUND.
EACH WEEK ONE OF THE GUYS FROM THE CHURCH TAKES A CASE THAT NEEDS TO BE SHARED.THIS IS DONE UNDER JOHN 3:17. HE LETS THE PEOPLE IN THE SURROUNDING AREAS KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON HERE IN OUR COMMUNITY..IT IS JUST AMAZING HOW MANY PEOPLE REACH OUT TO THESE NEEDS.
THIS IS ONE OF THE STORIES THAT WE AIRED

“If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has not pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?”

We will be sponsoring 8 children to experience Gaits to Greatness. The children will be selected through the Wesley House Victim Service Agency. We will be enrolling 8 children who have been sexually abused. (For an example of one of the children who will be enrolled – This child has been sexually abused by a family member. The child has shut down emotionally with little interaction with others. There is zero trust in this child’s life. The child is having trouble eating, and having simple conversations. The child will not disclose who the family member was, or much about the abuse.) The children will go through a four week session where they will be spending four hours each week experiencing play therapy with a horse. Children who are sexually abused have their sense of power and control taken away from them.


One of my favorite....

I am reposting this pink post today..Yesterday was
Elvis Presley birthday he still holds the number one SPOT>>>>>>>
I hope you find an interest in this post.
Once again its time to join in on Pink Saturday.
Beverly is the host of this pink event for all the pink
lovers..I couldn't decide what I was going to share, then I came
across the Top 10 Famous Things That Are Pink. The number one did
not surprise me. Some of the others things did.But I found this very
exciting. Have a great day visiting all the pink lovers. For sure you will
meet a new blogging friend. I always do.
Have A Great Pink Saturday...


1. Elvis' cadillac
Elvis Presley gave his mother, Gladys, a pink Cadillac. That car has become a symbol of all things Elvis.




2. Pink lemonade
What's better than lemonade? Pink lemonade. This refreshing drink is perfect on a hot day



3. J.Lo's diamond
(ABC)
Jenny from the block received a pink rock from her boy toy several years ago. Ben Affleck gave Jennifer Lopez a large, Harry Winston pink diamond engagement ring. Sadly, the couple broke up and the ring went up for sale. "Bennifer" was the original uni-name super couple.



4. Steaks
A nice juicy steak that is still a little pink in the middle definitely makes the list.



5. Breast cancer-fighting symbol
The pink ribbon is the symbol for breast cancer awareness. Countless fundraisers take place every year to fight the battle against breast cancer. You can go online to find out how you can help in your area.



6. Cotton candy
Sticky, sweet and oh-so-yummy just about sums up this classic treat. The fluffy air-like substance melts on the tongue with sugary delight.


7.Pink the artist
(AP)
Alecia Beth Moore is most commonly known as Pink. She came into the spotlight with flaming pink hair and a strong attitude. She's independent and strong and easily makes the list of top pink things.



8. Bubble gum
(Sangjib Min, Daily Press)
Bubble gum comes in many colors, flavors and brands, but our favorite is the original classic pink


9. Erasers
Pink erasers are a common school room sight.



10. Victoria's Secret line
(MCT)
Victoria's Secret PINK collection is one of the most popular lines from this company. Famous faces like Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio represent the line.
