Like most Sunday’s of late, Mike and I enjoyed worship services with fellow believers at Lake Guntersville family day. North Broad Church of Christ. As a recovering Southern Baptist, I must admit there are several differences with the doctrine between the two Christian worship services and beliefs.

One of the most notable is that the celebration of the Lord’s supper is every Sunday in the Church of Christ, where most Baptist Churches celebrate it quarterly. Another interesting observation, the music. I love to sing, I love hymns. In a Baptist Church especially now a days there is a “Praise” team. In a Church of Christ Congregation, each member is the praise team. There are no instruments, just the voices lifted to the God most high.

In many ways this small precious church takes me back to long ago days spent with my grandparents. Both believers in Christ. It was important to them that their grandchildren knew the gospel and their prayer the children and grandchildren would accept Christ as savior for themselves. My grand father was a fire and brimstone kind of preacher. I have often teased throughout the years that if you where not saved when you walked into a Sunday morning service, you would be before you left. How precious those days of enjoying an “Old fashioned” Sing were to me. How precious they still are.

In the daily grind of life, with all the unexpected twists, turns and even trials, knowing we serve a risen Savior is as constant as that River. It does not vary its course, it stays true.

One of my favorite hymns is “Standing on the Promises”. “Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let his praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.”

So my friend, stand strong on the promises of God. Remember he sent his son as our atonement.Remember it is not that the Lord allows bad things to happen. It is his promise that he will be there when they do.

Stamp Happy be a blessing! Until next time.

Isn’t it amazing how God is always providing just exactly what we want.  The truth is if we are inline with what the word of God tells us, then often he gives us abundantly more than we deserve. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10

It seems a bit silly even to me that I have this tiny red table, it is meant for tailgating at college football games.  Turns out it is just what I needed.  It is providing just enough space to use for stamping.  That is exactly what I did.  I stamped.  Amidst the clutter, dust bunnies and even spiders I was able to stamp.

It was a fulfillment of the desire of my heart.  I stamp because I refuse to grow up.  I want the jumbo box of crayons the one with the sharpener in the box for Christmas, please. I love to color.

I stamp because it also offers a chance for me to minister to others.  Handmade gifts and cards have been given through out the years with love, faith and testimony.

My Jesus once again whispers the words my heart needs to hear. “I love you, you are safe in my arms, regardless of the circumstances of your life”.  It is often hard at times to remember that the God of the universe does care about the small things in our lives.  He cared so much he gave his son to die for our transgressions. e paid the cost.  I can now stand before a Holy Lord knowing my sins are gone. I praise him for that.

Go out and conquer the world today.  Give some one a hug a smile or even a wave.  Know it is the face of Jesus they will see today.  Stamp Happy and Be a blessing!

Until next time……

These sturdy paper racks hold a variety of sizes, however,I’m guessing that they will only house the 12 X 12 paper.  There are 60 total slots along with the two free standing units I already own.

Hopefully I will be able to actually bring these inside soon.  The walls of my stamp/craft room still need paint.  One thing at a time.  I know better than to ask for patience.  You ask for patience the Lord sends trials.  No thanks, I’ve had plenty.

On a side note, our kitchen floor is now dry enough to where we were able to put down some Kilz paint on the areas that the flooring had to be removed.  Hopefully the workers will be here next week so that we can have our kitchen back.  Good news is at least the new gas cook top is in and functioning, everything else, not so much.

If you have any questions, just leave me a comment and I’ll happily answer them.  Contact and social media icons are at the top left corner of this post.

Stamp Happy and Be a blessing!! Until next time….

It has been a long productive day.  Mike and I have gotten all 3 of our vehicles registered here in Alabama, and we filed our home stead exemption.

I hope to post more pictures and a longer post detailing the progress I am making in the craft room.   We are still waiting for the floors to dry out in the kitchen so the floor can be re-laid.  So much to do.

So thankful for all the blessings in our life.  Stamp Happy be a blessing.
