Honor.....

Can I tell you all that I am married to the MOST HONORABLE man I've ever known....

Yes, there are times I'd like to ring his neck....yes there are times he'd like to ring mine....but once again, I've watch this man have the opportunity to LASH out and yet, he remains silent. When someone else is yelling and cursing at him....he remained calm....frustrated yes, but at the same time didn't yell the same insults back....

And I KNOW that God will HONOR that....I know He already has, because I see him as honorable...

He has made mistakes....but he is first to admit that, he is first to ask forgiveness of that, all the while others are telling him things like 'you made your bed'....yes...he did....but there are things under that bed that have not been uncovered....things he didn't put there....but others don't want to admit that they put those there...no...he will cover it for them....because he doesn't want them to hurt..he does not want them to have anyone else think of them anything but good...he will stake his own reputation to avoid hurting theirs.

Yes...I am married to an UNDOUBTEDLY HONORABLE MAN!!! I don't care what anyone else says!!!! And I sooo am IN LOVE with him!!! Can you tell???

Life Deck....week 1 of 52

I am going to be hosting a 'Life Deck' challenge each week for 52 weeks HERE at 4SS

I am so excited about this journey!!! Here is the first challenge! Feel free to come join us at 4SS, or if you just wanna share them here, you are more than welcome to link them on here and share them with us! BUT if you share them with us on 4SS I'll put your name in the hat and each 3 weeks I'll draw a winner for a little RAK from me! The RAK will mostly be goodies that you could use on these cards! BUT it is always fun getting goodies in the mail....AND after 52 weeks you will have a little LIFE deck about you and your life!



Are you ready? Do you have a little 'blank' pallet in front of you yet??? I KNOW we allll have piles of scraps around us, and little pieces of this or that...well, these will be PERFECT for you to create 52 little pieces of ART, JUST for you, will be about you and the things you like, it will be about your family, it will be about things we do, places we go, people we meet.....it will be about our town, about our neighborhood, about our home, it will be about the rooms in our house.....yes...for the next 52 weeks we will walk on this little journey together...we will get to know more about each other, and about ourselves, through these little tiny pallets....

Not to worry, you won't have to talk much....sometimes you won't talk at all....because the KEY here is CREATIVITY!!! Your imagination is your world....remember when you were a little girl and you were asked to draw a picture....you might have been told to draw a picture of your favorite flower, of your family....what ever the case we were EXCITED to draw....excited to put onto paper our creativity....well...YOU ARE THERE AGAIN! There IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG....NO penalties for coloring outside the lines...or even making the colors match! If you want a red plaid skirt with a yellow polka dot shirt...GO FOR IT!!! YEA!! We are FREE!

Tee hee hee...didn't know these things were going to be that much fun did ya????

Let's call this our Life Deck....okay....52 weeks, or 52 years...whatever it takes we should create this....we should have something to look back on and remember these times...but yet know, that our BEST DAYS lie ahead of us...but it was the past that placed us on the roads we are on....and the 'Y's we face every day.....the curves we didn't see, the curves we did.....let's take the time to TRAVEL our road!! And travel it together! What a fun venture...are you ready????

So....for this first group of '3'...we will be looking at the days and time.....and what better place to start than TODAY!!!!

Yes...this is your topic....TODAY.....

Where are you today....you can make this funny, you can make this simple, you can make this emotional....(but how much can you put on a 2.5x3.5 piece of paper???) Today can be me LITERALLY TODAY (9/14 in this case) today can be a 'right now kind of thing' (like this year, as opposed to 10 years ago)....it can be what you did today...what you ate today....what you played today....what you watched today....about the weather today.....ANYTHING you want! (remember that blank piece of paper and crayons!) Oh....and you don't have to do both sides...but it is fun....it is up to YOU!!!!!

Here is my example....probably a bit on the emotional side because I was in an emotional mood....
