"Playful Heart" Necklace

"I found this pretty sage green slag glass beach stone in Lake Michigan that is kind of heart-shaped. I drilled a 2 mm hole and dressed her up with a colorful aluminum large jump ring and strung her onto a playful colorful 30 inch plastic coated metal bead chain complete with black lobster clasp. The stone measures 1 inch wide. Since the bead chain is color plastic coated, it is a bit stiffer than plain metal, but is very cute and fun to wear!"

Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report #16

#16 - Weekly Thankfulness & Growth Report

If you were following this blog in 2015 then you will be familiar with my "365 Days of Being Thankful" challenge.  I have missed reporting on my thankfulness since I finished my challenge back in November so I decided to at least give a weekly Thankfulness Report & include a Growth Report also.  Growth in our Christian walk, growth in the garden & growth on this blog.  Finally, I am also including a "Posts From the Past" feature - ENJOY!


This week I have been thankful for great planting weather and for well water with which we can water our garden.  Most importantly I am thankful that I can go to God in prayer anytime of the day, in any situation and for any reason.


Living for Jesus a Life That Is True
Lift up your heart by worshipping Jesus through this beautiful hymn!
Read: Old Fashion Sunday Hymn Sing #31


We are so dry here and praying for rain (at a time when so many other parts of the country are praying for dry weather).  We are busy planting everything.  Our sweet potato slips have arrived and we hope to put them in the ground next week.
