Welcome to another week of Sharing His Beauty! It has been an incredibly busy week for us.  After moving into our new home, we have kept ourselves occupied with "feathering our nest"!  The boxes are now unpacked, the pictures are hung and everything is put in its proper place.  I've even had the pleasure of planting some flowers and fixing up a little pond that is in the backyard!  It has been a true blessing and we are so thankful to God for the home He has provided for us.

I'm hoping that things will begin to settle down and I'll be back on my usual writing schedule.  But, that is all in God's hands.  Whatever He places before us, I know that He will give us the strength and encouragement we need to follow Him.  He will be with us every step of the way!

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3). 

I invite you to link up beginning tonight at 6:00 p.m. to share the blessing that God is to you in your life. Simply click on the "You're Next" linky below and enter your blog information.

Or, if you choose, you may leave a comment on my post to tell of the beauty you have found in His hands. Be sure to visit some of the other inspirational sites linked up and be encouraged today!


Living for Him,

  2. You are way ahead of us in the moving and getting settled.  But then we did have to do some major damage overhaul in this condo.  I'm so glad you are planting your flowers.  I am heading to southern California on Tuesday for three days.  If I was further up north, I would have arranged a meet up with you.

    Blessings and love,
    Debbie

    You must be very organized to get everything put away and pictures on the walls too.
    Finally in and settled, such a blessing.  and a spot in your yard to refresh your spirit.

  9. You're moved???  I'm so jealous!  We are in the process of packing (after 28 years in the same house) and moving 2 hours away.  We're doing it all ourselves - and we are going crazy!!  On that note, I do apologize for being MIA in Blog Land lately.  I've been posting (barely) but haven't been able to do much visiting.

    It's been a blessing catching up with you today!

    Thanks for always giving me a word of encouragement.  God is, indeed, with us every step of the way.

    GOD BLESS!

  10. We moved over two years ago and still have unpacked boxes in the garage. But, I do believe we will be moving again after my daughter is married.  Just 3 weeks to go!

  11. Moving is always a job! We are looking for a new place now, and I am not looking forward to the process. God bless!

  13. We also managed to get some tomatoes and sweet bell peppers planted!  That is a first for us!  Next time you come a bit further north, please do let me know.  It would be great to meet for coffee! Blessings, Debbie.  Enjoy your trip!

  19. Well, I consider myself to be chaotically organized!  You know...everything in its place, wherever that is!  ha ha!  But, you are right.  It is a true blessing to be settled in and able to enjoy the home God has provided!

  20. It is interesting...there are several bloggers "out there" who are moving either now or in the near future!  I wonder what God is up to?  =)  Blessings to you as you transition to your new home!  I've been following the posts you have written and am excited about where God is leading you!  Blessings Sharon!
