Figuring Life Out - One Thousand Gifts

Today my neighbor passed away. He was 42 years old. I didn't know him at all, but I held his grieving wife in my arms. She had no hope.

But I have HOPE, his name is JESUS. Life is fleeting, let's not miss the opportunities we have to share our HOPE with this dying world.

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13

Fun Finds!

Well, this is a tough time of year to find "good stuff", but it is still out there!!! Here are quick pics of some recent finds....all available at the Spring Barn Sale! Dates posted above!
Happy colors! Many globes! LOVE that Hickory Dickory CLOCK!

Some fun pieces...they all need a little TLC!

Some treasures in there!

Pair of great French chairs...why do they always come in a "project" form?

I'm thinking some cream paint is headed their way!

Hope you are finding some treasures also!

Happy Wednesday!
