The Smallest Pebble Can Still Make a Big Splash

     Even the smallest act of kindness can leave a lasting impression in someone's life.

Armor of God!

 Friends,
 
     I'm not that judgmental Christian.  You won't catch me telling others, with the exception of my kids, what they should and shouldn't do.  I believe ALL witnessing for Jesus should be done with loving acts of kindness, period! 

    I feel though, God has put it on my heart to mention this movie The Witch, coming out soon.  It looks like an interesting scary movie that will attract those with a love of horror films and scary stuff.  Please do not be deceived by the phrase, "It's just a movie."  That's what the devil wants you to think.  The makers of the movie are Satanic and are promoting their cause and ideology through this movie. 

    I myself thought initially, that the movie looked interesting.  When I saw what they are promoting, I was shocked.  The devils helpers are not in hiding any more.  Things are happening and as Christians, WE NEED TO WAKE UP!  More and more evil is evident every day. 

    So what do we do?  I'm no counselor, but I think... pray, read His word, teach your children, and be aware!  Again, I'm not trying to tell ya what to do; just trying to be a friend. Putting on my armor!  ;)

Xoxoxo,

Samantha

"Do you want to build a snowman?"

    I truly am grateful for every season God has given us.  I'm blessed to live in a location where all four season's are spectacular! 

   Let's face it though; the older you get, the worse -3 degrees feels in your bones.  Is that why older people flock to the lovely state of Florida?  I'm guessing so.

So the answer is no,

    I don't want to build a snowman!!!  ;)

Well, yes if it's above 45 degrees. ;) 

God knows that I joke.

In God's word, Ecclesiases 3:1-15

Ecclesiastes 3King James Version (KJV)

3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

² A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
³ A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
⁴ A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
⁵ A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
⁶ A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
⁷ A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
⁸ A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
⁹ What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
¹⁰ I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
¹¹ He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
¹² I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
¹³ And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
¹⁴ I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
¹⁵ That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Thank you God for every season, and yes, every temperature!  Amen

Have a sweet and blessed day!

I don't always...

Ok, so I made one.
    Here's my "I don't always" quote...

Who's with me?

    ;)

From the Heart of an Artist

I've been an artist all my life.  I don't need a piece of paper or a degree to tell me so.  Being an artist simply means...
    ~one who creates, and sees the world a little differently.
   An artist sees God's beauty in the smallest of details.  An artist sees what CAN be.  An artist never stops creating.
   I see things, I want to change them, color them, paint them, sculpt them, and hang them on a wall. 
   An artist's mind never stops.  An artist's heart always feels, and beats to a melody.

A true artist creates,
      without borders,
                     boundaries, 
                            or limits.
~ I am an artist!
