psalm 23
the lord is my shepard - that's relationship!
i shall not want - that's supply!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures = That's Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters = That's Refreshment!
He restoreth my soul = That's Healing!
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness = That's Guidance!
For His name sake = That's Purpose!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death = That's Testing!
I will fear no evil = That's Protection!
For Thou art with me = That's Faithfulness!
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me = That's Discipline!
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies = That's Hope!
Thou annointes t my head with oil = That's Consecration!
My cup runneth over = That's Abundance!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life = That's Blessing !
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord = That's Security!
Forever = That's Eternity!

My Booth at Country Roads...

well, i worked for a little over three hours in my booth today {after the flea market yesterday} and it's packed full of treasures...i pushed and moved and moved and pushed until i got it all in...i did it! check out the fabulous beachy rattan side tables...they are great! enjoy...

It Was A Smoky and Ashy Day at Vets Flea Market!

wow! i was praying for no wind on the day steve and i were going to sell at vets {yesterday} we got little wind...thank you lord...but i should have also prayed for an ocean breeze which would have detoured the smoke and ash that came from the orange county fires...at times it was dark, grey and very ashy which made for a smaller crowd at the flea market which was a bummer! but those die hard treasure shoppers were out with their scarves and masks looking for "stuff". we did okay, but we have lots of treasures left...see something you like, send me an email...

Audrey Hepburn's Poem

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
this was sent to me today by my daughter and although i've read it before, it thought is was so lovely and worth sharing...have a blessed week...
