smelling home......

it's almost gone ....... it has been 16 years since I last walked through the door of my childhood home ..... the one thing that has "kept the smell of home" is mom's grandfather clock!    i would open the door to pull the weights & memories would flash before me ...... the days of the three of us .. Mom Daddy & I ...... just us... just love unending .... knowing i was the most important thing in the world to them ...... lately the smell has drifted away ... but today ... i was taken back again .... must have been the dampness in the air .... or maybe i just needed a little reminder of how much i was loved & how important ..... 
............................... i am blessed !

Walmart memories........

 i shared on Facebook today about my Walmart experience this morning ...... not my favorite place but love when i leave with smiles & happy tears ....... when you know you have been at the right place at the right time ..... when God has lined everything up to touch your heart & hopefully someone else's ..... when the young lady in your aisle asks if you know who she is ...i did recognize her from youth group years ago....... small talk is made ..... & ...... suddenly she turns & comes back to throw her arms around you ..... ..................................when your favorite , trendy, older lady, clerk has her lane open .... suddenly we are in deep conversation about memories & i find out she had been in a country music group years ago "diamond" ......... her eyes twinkled with the most amazing "glimmer of diamonds" .......... my day at "the Walmart" ..........   PRICELESS MEMORIES! 
............................... i am blessed!

......................... i am blessed !

scattering seeds........

once in awhile ...........  we are just totally taken by surprise ...... blown away & in the midst of a  "scattering" that we didn't expect!   the last time  i was here to share with you .... i had just listed my necklaces on Facebook ... then ....... God took over ................. isn't it just the most amazing thing when we least expect it ....... in the middle of an ordinary day ........ He blesses us more than could ever be imagined !   ............

the very reason i have been missing ......... i have been scattering seeds ......... 
 
.............................. i am blessed !
