This has long been one of my favourite scriptures in the Bible.

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." ~ Isaiah 40:31

We all go through times of suffering and oftentimes we feel alone in our struggles but do not fear! The Lord is watching over you; you're never alone! He will give you the strength to get through whatever it is you're facing.

I love what Mary at Pile of Smiles ~ http://pileofsmiles.blogspot.com/ shared with us last week. The gist of her post was summed up with these three points from a book she had been reading...

When God disciplines His children; three things happen:

1. It's painful temporarily.

2. A blessing is promised from it.

3. In the end, it leads to a purpose.

Thank you Mary for sharing those three points because it sure helps to put things into perspective. Have a wonderful and blessed weekend everyone.

Pink Saturday

Hello bloggerettes and welcome to my Pink Saturday post! Already we're in the middle of January and I'm just getting my Christmas put away for another year. I have also been doing some mantel tweaking.

My hubby gifted me with a new electric fireplace for Christmas and this is how I had decorated it. Lots of pink was used in decorating for Christmas this year.

This is what it looks like now.

I still have my mercury glass out and will likely use it for a while because I love it! The plates were a gift from a friend and they're actually red transferware but they are a wonderful shade of pink. The pink mercury glass hurricane lamp has found its place in the center.

Thanks for stopping by Rose Chintz Cottage and I hope you will visit all the pinkies on Beverly's Pink Saturday. Click the link to visit her and her participants~ http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/
Wishing you all a lovely pink weekend.
