Today I am joining in on Sunday Stealing!!!
Hosted by Bev Sykes!
1. when did you last sing to yourself?Actually I sang to my self this morning when I was thinking about the praise song we would sing during our prayer time on Wednesday..... I was trying to remember the lyrics of Holy are you Lord!
2. if a crystal ball could tell you the truth about anything, what would you want to know? To tell the truth. that would be dabbling in something I just don't do... I take life as it comes and try my best to honor God in the process!
3. what is the greatest accomplishment of your life?
This would be the joint effort Hubs and I did in raising our wonderful daughter!
4. what is the first happy memory that comes to mind, recent or otherwise? I was just sharing this memory yesterday with a dear friend, so it popped in my mind first.. I was two years old and I vividly remember sitting on the front steps off the porch singing a jibberish song to God.. I remember the happy thankful feeling as I sang. It occurred to me years later it was a song He had given me before I was born, and it became especially poignant to me the afternoon I was meditating and praising God and I sprang into a prayer language for the first time and as I sang I felt exactly as if I were sitting beside my 2 year old self and we were singing the same song!
5. if you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living?
If I knew such a thing I would make it my business to spend more time with my grand daughters that somehow in their early years I could have leave the essence of my life and they would be able to see Jesus in me. That after all is the life's purpose of a Christian.
6. do you feel you had a happy childhood?
I do think I had a happy childhood... we lived simply, but I was loved mightily by both my parents who did all they could to make our home and life as special as they could.
7. would you ever have a deep conversation with a stranger and open up to them?
I have found over the years that sometimes it is easier to open up to a stranger than someone I know well.
8. what would you title the autobiography of your life so far?
Ripples in the Stream
9. how do you feel about tattoos and piercings? explain.
I do not like them... I do have pierced ears which is as far as I would go .. to me tattoos and multiple piercings of various body parts is grotesque... I personally think it is a desecration of the body.. God's creation and his holy temple as He resides in those who believe.
10. do you wear a lot of makeup? why/why not?
Never have. I was called peachy when I was in college because my complexion was peaches and cream...I prefer to try to keep my skin pliable and soft and not caked and dry... like many I see who are approaching 70. I wear a very sheer amount of cream blush and tint my lips.
11.The world is listening. pick one sentence you would tell them. Love one another and seek and find God in your life.
12. who in the world would you most like to receive a letter from and what would you want it to say? I suppose I would love to get a letter from my dear Granny with the secret recipe for her caramel spice cake
13. do you have a desk/workspace and how is it organised/not organised?
It looks disheveled, but I do know where everything is
14. what’s your Starbucks order, and who would you trust to order for you, if anyone?
Starbucks holds absolutely no allure for me... I bypass it gladly
15. what is the most important thing to you in your life right now?
Creating a loving home for family and friends, as well as, thinking of others more and sharing the love of Christ
Not a lot of Starbucks lovers on Sunday Stealing.
ReplyDeleteHow blessed you have been to have known the Lord all your life, to have been spared the searching most of us go through.
ReplyDeleteA letter with a lost recipe sounds good to me. There was a peanut butter candy one older lady I knew (Bea) use to make. I'd like to have that.
