a joyful spirit

and a delightful smile

Strength for the journey

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels, descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

no clouds from horizon to horizon,

fair weather right now,

the indomitable Snowman

the true rags-to-riches story of a plowhorse

On a winter afternoon Harry de Leyer returned from an auction with a big gray horse that his children promptly named Snowman. He was a good riding horse, but when a neighbor offered Harry twice what he'd paid for him, he agreed. Right away he regretted his decision; so apparently did Snowman. And that's when his hidden talent showed up- along with the horse himself! The neighbor's fences were high, but Snowman repeatedly scaled them to be with the master and the family he loved. One day Harry made the reunion permanent by buying back the horse- and the rest is history. Snowman kept winning championships and shows until the the ultimate dream, The National at Madison Square Garden, where he was named "Horse of the Year" two years running (1958-1959). But not because he ran; Snowman was a jumper. And nobody would have ever known had it not been for the fences that separated the grateful animal from his loving master. And the horse had every reason to be grateful, because Harry had arrived late at the auction that say after the best horses had been sold. The big grey gelding that became the indomitable Snowman was rescued from the only other bidder... a man who intended him for the glue factory. The Psalmist said, "The Lord...redeems your life from destruction." When others write you off, He sees what you can become.

begin today to reclaim your beauty

this is a lovely ecru cream and white sheath gown, the one i dream of, the one i cannot improve upon, the style classique, the form exquisite, the back curve perfect,
this is the shabby shic glam that i absolutely love,
the days I wonder where the femininity that is so a part of being a woman has gone in this culture of ours that we have become sullied with Kmarts and Walmarts and pretend that we can feel proud of ourselves wearing sweat pants and tee shirts. What has happened to the beautiful creation called 'woman'?
Girlfriend, find yourself.
Begin to discover what beauty can be and take back the rightful place on this earth that is reserved only for women and the pride of being a woman, and the esteem of being beautiful, from the inside out.
