Today I am catching up on what I think is five days of color matching. The color Jennifer asked us to match on this first day of missing colors is the color BLUSH. Join in the fun by clicking the underlined link.
Here is my attempt at the shade:

Share Your World 2016 Week #3
It’s that time again folks. It’s time to answer five questions and reveal a little bit more of my life to all y’all. You can join in the fun by going to Cee’s Site Here and answering her questions for yourself. While you are there take a gander at how her other contributors answered.
Here are the questions and my answers:
What is your favorite piece of art? (it doesn’t have to be famous)
Oh, this is a tough one. I work with an artist’s collaborative, called C.cada, and it is just chock full of talented artists. You can see some of their work HERE.
I guess my favorite art changes regularly depending on what I am looking at. I recently obtained a new piece by Charlotte Dorais. It is a watercolor rendering of a spot just South of Perkins Cove in Maine.
Another of my all time favorites is actually a series of paintings by Thomas Cole called “The Voyage of Life.”
What made you smile today?
My prayer time this afternoon made me smile, not a funny “ha,ha” kind of smile but a quiet contented “Ahh that’s better” kind of smile.
Which place do you recommend as a Must-See? Please state which country, state or providence.
You simply have to see the bathrooms in the YWAM building in Amsterdam.
OK, maybe it is not a must see but they are pretty amazing. I am not sure I would ever go to the bathroom there but it’s a pretty amazing photo op.
Now places you should see:
The City of Delft in South Holland
Longwood Gardens
Complete this sentence: When I was younger I used to….
pretend I was a superhero. I have always wanted to be able to shoot bolts of lightning out of my fingertips, make heavy objects fly through the air or maybe conjure a dragon or two.
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am so grateful I am over the stomach flu. I am also grateful that I got to visit with my daughter Melanie and my son-in-law James. My daughter Amanda, my mother, my sister and I went out to Melanie and James’ home in Lynn MA to have a belated Christmas dinner.
An American Gothic Christmas
Next week I am looking forward to having cleaned up from all the snow that is supposed to come in this weekend.

What are we fighting for…
Some good questions here.
Isn’t it an age-old quest!!
We strive for PEACE and long for LOVE and in desperation to have it, we break all the golden rules to get it at any cost.
Do we have to fight for PEACE !!!
Do we need to crave for LOVE !!!
And if we don’t feel we have it,what do we do….Or is the answer in the question itself !!

The Laughable Thing
This morning I posted a Blog entitled: BELIEVE GOD FOR THE LAUGHABLE THING.
You might want to click on the underlined link to read the Scripture about one very laughable event.
What is a laughable thing? Well it is something so big and beyond the scope of our imaginations that it makes us laugh for the sheer absurdity of the thing. The laughable thing is something we cannot do without God’s miraculous help. In fact the laughable thing is something that has its origins in God. It is not something we dream up because it is too big for us to dream. It is a word from God which challenges us to go beyond ourselves in ways that we would never dream.
So what is your laughable thing from God? Write a post on it and link back here.

Believe God For the Laughable Genesis 18:10-15
Then one of them said, “I will return to you about this time next year, and your wife, Sarah, will have a son!” Sarah was listening to this conversation from the tent. Abraham and Sarah were both very old by this time, and Sarah was long past the age of having children. So she laughed silently to herself and said, “How could a worn-out woman like me enjoy such pleasure, especially when my master—my husband—is also so old?” Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, ‘Can an old woman like me have a baby?’ Is anything too hard for the Lord ? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.” Sarah was afraid, so she denied it, saying, “I didn’t laugh.” But the Lord said, “No, you did laugh.”
