I'm SO GLAD for Resurrection Day!

Easter brings such promise and hope. The resurrection means we can have eternal life. It means we don't get what we deserve, but, instead, we get love and forgiveness.

I found the following quote by Timothy Keller that sums up everything for me.

"I am more sinful than I ever dared believed, and I am more accepted and loved than I ever dared hoped." (Tim Keller)

Easter means our sin can be forgiven if we trust His Son, Jesus, to be The Savior of our lives.

Thank you, Jesus!

What's Your Favorite Flower?

My friend, "Miss Wanderlust" is doing a give-away on her blog. She is now a dot com. www.iheartrunwithscissors.com. Head on over there and become a follower of hers and leave a comment and you will be on your way to being in the drawing! She asked us what our favorite flower is. I wonder what yours would be? My favorite is probably the tulip. But I also like pansies and gerber daisies. What's your fav?

Can Hardly Wait.......

.......only 35 more days.....yippee!!!!!!

March First

It's hard to believe March is here but I'm so glad it is because that means spring is just around the corner! I ♥ spring. Everything is fresh and new. The weather starts getting warmer, the birds start returning and chirping/singing. Things start getting green. The only problem with spring is that the grass starts needing to be mowed again. I love green grass but I don't like mowing it! Anyone else feel that way or is it just me? Maybe this year I will use it as a time to reflect/pray and meditate on scripture while I'm mowing....that way it won't seem like wasted time. Fall and spring are my two favorite seasons.....anyone else?

P.S....Another great thing about this month is MARCH MADNESS!! We love it - our family is basketball crazy! We compete against each other with our favorite teams. We have so much fun - even when the competition gets a little heated! :)

Miss Wanderlust is doing it again!

My good friend, Miss Wanderlust, is having ANOTHER GIVEAWAY!! She is so generous. I hope I win. But, I'm unselfish enough to post about it here to give you a chance to enter and possibly win for yourselves!! Just go to www.twocrazykidsinlove.blogspot.com to find out all about it!!

I'm a really good reader.....

....but not a very good blog writer. Sorry for the long break. I ♥ to read other people's blog posts, but I'm not very good at writing them myself. I don't know why???? I am going to try to do better, but only time will tell. Hopefully something really funny will happen soon so I have something to write about!!!

The Dawn of a New Year

I ran across a quote by Chuck Swindoll that sums up how I feel. My blog title is patterned after this philosophy of my life.

"Serendipity occurs when something beautiful breaks into the monotonous and the nundane. A serendipitous life is marked by "surprisability" and spontaneity. When we lose our capacity for either, we settle into life's ruts. We expect little and we're seldom disappointed. Though I have walked with God for several decades, I must confess I still find much about Him incomprehensible and mysterious. But this much I know: He delights in surprising us. He dots our pilgrimage from earth to heaven with amazing serendipities."

"You, Lord, open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing." Psalm 145:16

At the dawn of this new year, I pray that your life will be full of God's amazing serendipitous epiphanies!
