~Sunday Funnies~

As usual there is no post on Sunday...So may you fare well in your endeavors tomorrow and I shall promise to return to you on Monday, Monday!

~Sick Ramblings~

I will start this post with "I'm sick".  I have been feeling run down the last few days, but last night I really started to feel...ick! So I finished up my blogging and got into bed, and today has just been one of "Those" days.  You know the kind, where you are in bed all day watching movies and bad t.v. 

It's all good though, it gives me time to think about ideas for blogging and other really important things like;  how come laying in bed all day seems to make whatever illness or pain you have just a little bit worse? Or have you ever noticed the ceiling pictures above your head look like dragons and mice? Oh sorry, I was fading there a bit! (and I'm not even on Nyquil or anything)

I will be going for now, before I start rambling extremely forbidden scary stuff, so as usual when you are done thoroughly entertaining yourself  reading my blog post please leave me a lovely bit of yourself in a comment.  I love to hear what you lovely ladies and handsome men have to say. God bless and May His face shine upon you today and beyond!

Saturday Funny!

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

~Psalm 27:4~

"One thing I have asked from the LORD,

that I shall seek:

That I may dwell in the house of the

LORD all the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of the LORD,

And to meditate in His temple.

`Wordless Wednesday~

Layla Grace is with the Angels in Heaven

Little Layla Grace went home to heaven early this morning. 

Please pray for her family who are grieving the loss of a precious wee one!  I don't know this family but I feel the need to pray for them and for what they are going through.  I cannot even begin to imagine what they are feeling..I do know God is with them, He is mighty and He alone can heal their wounds and comfort their grief. 

 God is holding little Layla Grace and she is completely healthy, and as beautiful as she ever was. Please keep her family in your thoughts and prayers in the days to come!

Time away!

It seems I am constantly reminded of how much God wants a real relationship with me.  I have spent so much time on other things, and have given Him just a little of bit of me!

One of the things I spend time on is this blog. (No I am not going to quit blogging!) I spend hours pouring over ideas to share, pictures to publish, friends blogs to comment on.  How it shames me to say I don't give God that much time.

My heavenly Father loved me so much He gave His one and only Son to die on an Old rugged Cross, for my sins and I can't give Him at least as much time as I do my humble blog?  This just reminds me how much work God still has to do on me. 

I am not there yet.  God is still molding and shaping me into what He wants me to be.  I love how God works.  He can take the smallest thing and make it the greatest lesson to share with me, or imprint on me, or use it to nudge me in the direction He wants me to go.  I can say without a doubt that God has shown me through this blog that I have a long way to go, and that He will even use this to remind me that He wants my time as well.

God wants to have a deep and meaningful and personal relationship with me, and you!  He longs for me to come to Him on bended knee or with tears in my eyes and give Him my burdens, crawl up in His lap and snuggle and tell Him my woes.  Wow!

What does all this mean?  Well, it means I need to spend more time with my Father God, and really connect with Him in a meaningful and deep way, not this quick and shallow way I have been doing lately. It means that anything can be an idol, even my blog, and I need to be aware that God wants to spend some time with me, Shannon King!

So, I am off to spend some time with my Heavenly Father, God!  Won't you consider giving Him some of your precious time too! After all, He is your Father as well, and if He is not won't you consider giving Him your life and allowing Him to comfort and guide you too.  For more information on following Christ go to your local church, or a friend who is a believer, or if you want, contact me and I would love to share His story with you!

God bless and May His face shine upon you today! As usual, please leave me some comment luv and I will get back to you as soon as I read what lovely things you have to say to me!
