Sunday's Symbols

As the weather turns from summer to fall, the sunsets around here seem to get more colorful and stunning. And I am constantly reminded of God's creativity and his love for us, even in the small details. He didn't have to create colors. There is nothing necessary about the colors in a sunset (or sunrise for that matter!) It is simply to be enjoyed as it happens.

As I have entered my 40's (can that really be true?!?!?) I am starting to think about the changes that will inevitably occur as I enter the second half of my life. And I guess you could say the sunset has in a sense started for me. But I hope that as long as God allows me to be here, that I continue to shine with a depth of color that only comes with a long and close walk with HIM.

Sunday's Symbols

Quick! What is the most important, non-renewable resource we have?

It's TIME. Once gone, it can never be regained or replaced. All we can do is choose to how we will live each day, each hour, each minute in the NOW. There are no "do-overs."

Too often we look back on our past with regret and sorrow. But regardless of what your past holds, your future has yet to be lived. Do not live in the past and squander today! We have an amazing God who can take ANYTHING and use it for His glory--and that includes ALL of your life.

The past is behind, but the future is an empty page... Here are some verses to think about when planning your week.

Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

I found some great items that reminded me of time in different ways. Make your time count from the view of eternity.

Sunday's Symbols

For the Christian, there is a symbol that is the source of our greatest shame as well as triumph. Shame because I caused the death of my Savior. Triumph because His death provided a way for me to have eternal life with Him.

This week, I stumbled across some great cross items and wanted to share them with you.

Old Rugged Cross Dichroic Glass Pendant

This pendant is from my friend Donna's shop DH'Elegance. I own one of her pendants (palm tree) and it has become one of my favorite pieces for casual outfits.
