Letter "Z" ~ Blogging from A to Z Challenge April 2013

"Z"

Zeal

When I think
Of the Lord
My zeal 
For Him
Over comes me
I get so excited
With the joy
It flows out of me
In shouts 
Of glee
I think of 
How He loves me
What He has 
Given for me
His only son
So I might 
Have a life 
And live 
More abundantly
I jump for joy
With each 
Thought of all
He has done
What 
He does daily
He awakes me with His
Precious gift of love
With a life 
Full of riches
Selected perfectly
Just for me
With only
Me in mind
I am His
So many gifts
And
He calls me by 
My name
He daily gives
Treasure's and gifts
Far exceedingly 
Above all 
My dreams
All I have to do
Is look around
And
Open each one
I praise
His holy name
It is so easy to shout
In zeal
For the joy and love
He has given me 
The praise
I shout in
Zeal
For my Lord
Over  takes me
As His love for me 
Is new everyday
He comes 
And gently
Knocks and awakes 
Me daily
With His
Precious gif of life
For me
With all
The treasures
Wrapped just for me
To enjoy
Each new day

~Beth~

Romans 10:2

For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge.

Do you live your life daily with zeal?

Many issues

Young

Youthful
Being young
Body mind 
And soul
Young at heart
Dancing
With each step you take
In celebration
Of a life
Well lived
Living life to the fullest
Living each day
As if its 
Your last
Celebrating 
Each day
With that of
A child's heart
Setting the example
That would 
Lead others
To 
The joy 
Love
Faith
And freedom
Found
In our Lord and Savior

~Beth~

1 Timothy 4:12

Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

Do you love to live each day as though its your last with a youthful heart of joy?

Playdates With God~ Spring gifts/surprises & April Joy Dare

Spring gifts/surprises

Day 22~ Spring gifts/surprises sitting in the living room relaxing this morning and looking up and seeing hubby in sunglasses serving us coffee; then sitting down and watching TV with them on. I still am laughing over that one. Great surprise! Getting a load of laundry done early today. Getting out in the beautiful sunshine and walking around and to the post mart as well as the salon supply. Got another bag which I love. Then out to dinner for a lovely Italian dinner at Giuseppe's. Love it! Sitting in the car trying to fix rear view mirror. Not sure that is a gift expect I'm glad it did it in the drive way and not while I was driving. A lovely Spring evening.

Day 23~ Spring gifts/surprises woke up much earlier than I thought. So was able to take my time to getting ready for work this morning. Had two clients this morning; then I got my hair fixed. What a wonderful blessing that was. Not to mention the prayer time and fellowship. The best! Then another haircut. Love making the ladies feel special and as beautiful as they are. I also got a phone call for an outside client to come on Thursday for a hair cut. YEA! The sunshine was out warming me. Love it! Then I found some important paper work. Dinner with hubby was chicken wings. Micky and Pat Holzbach cam by so love seeing them. Lovely little visit. They both bring joy to our hearts here in our home. An evening drive was beautiful as well. It was an awesome day!

Day 24~ Spring gifts/surprises getting up and getting some well needed cleaning done. Still so much more to go. It is the start of spring cleaning in this house. Which....is always full of surprises. The beautiful sunshine outside that I opt to not sit and enjoy for spring cleaning. This is a huge surprise as I have waited for this for so long. Small walks in the beautiful weather. Huge surprise was even though they said rent wouldn't go up. It really did! I am thankful to have a place to pay rent on. A short nap this afternoon was wonderful; just wish it had been longer. Looking towards a quiet evening.......

Day 25~ Spring gifts/surprises today is an extremely hard day. The smiles and love poured out to the people I love so much who have a huge hole left in their heart today. The prayers that cover ore than I can ever dream or imagine in my life time. The smiles of the ladies at the salon today. The beautiful sunshine that brings warmth in so many ways to a body heart and soul. A friendship that crosses the miles and leaves an imprint for a life time. Phone calls that you can cry and laugh and hold one another even through the distance. Gods undying love for us. Thank you for the smile's and love even when its hard Lord.

Day 26~ Spring gifts/surprises awaking early enough to get dressed and use the vanity area before hubby got up. A wonderful gift indeed. The beautiful morning sunshine that I had the pleasure driving to work in. Finding my list of clients had grown over the week. Getting all the ladies and gents looking fabulous for another week. Stopping by Goodyear and having them help me with rear view mirror. It will be back up and working by Sunday afternoon. Yea! long process to do it properly. Small walk in the afternoon sun. Loving this warmer weather it is a gift! Dinner and kitchen cleaned. Taking pictures of the beautiful flowers in the garden at work today. Makes me wish I had a garden. It has been a very wonderful as I enjoyed the sunshine.

Day 27~ Spring gifts/surprises So many gifts opened today with many surprises I wouldn't even know where to start. So I will say it has been a fun filled day of memories made with family and friends. Mary McCormick Loomis picked me up early this morning for a road trip to the The Dalles for the Cherry Festival and other activities. What fun! Lots of pictures taken with my new camera; that I still cannot figure out. I so do need to read the book or take a class. Maybe should do both. Eat yummy food all day long. Walks in the beautiful sunshine. Laughter there and back. Scenic routes and old highways. What a great way to spend a Spring day!

Day 28~ Spring gifts/surprises Hubby taking me out for breakfast was most definitely a gift and a surprise both. It was a nice time and meet some of his guy friends. Meeting with Vanda Cummings today as she was driving through to her grandchildren. Delivered her Mary Kay to her and had a lovely visit. Felt like we had known each other forever. She brought me lovely flowers. Smell wonderful too! Hubby cooking dinner! Sweet! It has been a wonderful day.

April Joy Dare:

22~ 3 Gifts close
Hard for me today or I should say tonight.
1) The car part stores where closed that I wanted open tonight. Not sure if I see this as a gift. Unless I take to Goodyear tomorrow after work. Then I don't have to deal with it.
2) My close friends that make me feel like a million
3) Making my votes on Dancing with the Stars before the vote closes.

23~ 3 Gifts reflecting
This one made me smile an laugh when I read this one this morning. As reflecting is something I have been doing the last few days.
1) One of the reflecting moments was when I was speaking with my daughter Nick Racheal Perry and was wondering if I had made the right choices many years ago. It was some reflection. Of course not one that can be changed. But......I know I made the right one for me at the time. Even if it didn't feel like it to some of my family that I love so very much.
2) Reflection and time of sharing during prayer time when I was getting my hair done today. Melody is quite a lady and quite a prayer warrior. I was surely blessed and opened up in ways I never thought I would with someone I didn't know that well. It was God! Good reflection.
3) My evening drive as I was reflecting on recent decisions and choices I have been making.
Do you do a lot of reflecting? What are your reflecting gifts?

24~ 3 Fragile gifts
1) MY ankle is one as I climb up on step ladders today; it was a little hairy a few times. But...I got done what needed done
2) My attitude towards this apartment complex. But.....am very grateful for my home
3) My temper can be very fragile at times
This was a very tough one to come up with three; what about you? Can you come up with three fragile gifts?

25~ A gift cloth, steel, wood
1) My nice clean towels that are washed folded for the next adventure in the salon. So I would say that is my cloth gift so I don't have to worry about them this weekend.
2) The steel pans that I cooked my diner in this evening.
3) The wood coffee table that I write my bills and rest my ankle on. It is a beautiful coffee table my mom gave me.

26~ 3 gifts moving
Laughing.........this should be interesting
1) My car as it gets me to points A and B and all those in between
2) My clients today. As they needed so much help moving that I even needed help moving them. It would have made great Keystone cop movie with the laughter as we were moving all of them in my small salon from one chair to another.
3) The remote control that travels from my hand to hubby's and back again as we fight over the volume of the TV. (Laughing) Or what we are watching! :)

27~ 3 gifts "Ugly beautiful"
Not sure after today if I can do this one.......But I can and will somehow. It was so beautiful and I cannot think of anything ugly beautiful....But here goes.
1) So one of the ugly beautiful is some of the cars at the car show today. Some where ugly made beautiful. 
2) The horse patrol cleaning up after the horse's in the parade making the streets nice and clean free from the horse manure. No more ugly! beautifying the streets.
3) When it started raining in Cascade Locks it was ugly to see the rain; but it had a wonderful beauty to it. Soft gray sky's with raindrops falling. 
Yes today was a beautiful day!

28~ 3 Gifts orange
Sometimes this challenge amazes me with the items we must come up with. Love it though! It really helps me be more thankful even with odd things. Orange isn't even one of my favorite colors even. (Laughing as I'm trying to figure this one out!)
1) The tube my night emollient cream is in! Love my cream ♥
2) The color of some of the app icons on my phone that I enjoy
3) The color of The New American Bible Saint Joseph Edition; that I have had for over twenty years. I must love it♥ it is near my bed. Along with several other editions and translations of the word of God! I must have like four bibles next to my bed that I can count from where I'm sitting. :)

As the month comes to a fast close what was your most prized gift/surprise?

Letter "X" ~ Blogging from A to Z Challenge April 2013

Once again a bit late in posting. Had quite a full weekend and was out very early yesterday. Thank you for your patience with me.

"X"

XTRA

Xtra Xtra 

Read all about it!

 Found this and just had to share

By Unknown

Me: God, can I ask You a question?

God: Sure

Me: Promise You won't get mad

... ... ... ...

God: I promise

Me: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?

God: What do u mean?

Me: Well, I woke up late

God: Yes

Me: My car took forever to start

God: Okay

Me: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait

God: Huummm

Me: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call

God: All right

Me: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?

God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one

of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that

Me (humbled): OH

GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.

Me: (ashamed)

God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.

Me (embarrassed):Okay

God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.

Me (softly): I see God

God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.

Me: I'm Sorry God

God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.

Me: I will trust You.

God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.

Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.

God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...

Psalm 121:8

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Do you see small inconvenience's as blessings from the Lord or just a big problem to deal with?

Letter "W" ~ Blogging from A to Z Challenge April 2013

"W"

Wealth

Each one 

Considers wealth

In many ways

One may see wealth

In money

Another in the collections

Of who has 

The most toys

Who has acquired the best

Yet another 

Knowledge

Through education

Which brings 

More wealth

With each degree

Acquired through education

Others love time

So they see

Their wealth 

In time

And how it is used

The older we get

Wealth maybe 

In our health

As it becomes 

So precious with  each passing year

Some may consider wealth

In love

Family, friends

The people they touch

Throughout their life time

Many consider wealth

Through their spirituality

Wealth comes in 

So many ways

Many forms

Some hoard it

Others plan for it

Some inherit it

Others win it

Many dream 

Of it

Yet others 

Want balance 

Wealth

To be shared

With  those

That have not 

Many see it

As spreading 

Sharing the wealth with the masses

As vast as the ideas of wealth

So is how 

We acquire the wealth

That is laid 

Up for us

But my Lord

Says He will

Fill the storehouses

They shall be filled

He will

Give and fill

The storehouses

With wealth

That we 

Would not have 

Room enough

To hold it all

True

Wealth

Comes from

Him

Who first 

Loves us

Who holds the keys

To all true

Wealth

~Beth~

Proverbs 24:4

By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth.

What do you consider wealthy?
