Reflections...

...i love mirrors...
...different shapes, different sizes...
...i love their reflections...
...the light they bring into a room...
...how they seem to make a small room bigger...

...so...

...i'm sharing my mirrors in our home with you...


. 
...laundry room entrance...

...bottom mirror above stove reflects shelf in the kitchen...
...dinning room...
...mirror on left reflects the outdoors...
...mirror on right reflects the rest of the dinning room...




...interesting vignette of chair and outdoors of the same small mirror...

...all the above reflections are of the living room...

...reflections of out two baths...

...bedroom...

...dressing room...

...i hope you enjoyed these reflections of our home...

******************

as i think about mirrors and reflections...
i wonder...
what does my life reflect?
do i like what i see in my mirror?
do i look for outward beauty...
or the beauty that spills out into the things that really count?
my husband, my children, my friends...
or even...scary thought...to the unlovely or unlovable?
or those outside of my comfort zone?
and if i don't like what i see in my mirror, do i want to change...
change enough, so that when, at the end of the day...
i can look at myself in the mirror with clear eyes and say...
'today, i made a difference...'
...blessedness...

Weekend Musings


...gor-ge-ous weather with touches of fall...
...makes for a fabulous walk! 

hubs had a local bus run, driving the huyard family for their 'roots tour' of lancaster county - the matriarch is the oldest living amish person in this county...

*****************


saturday evening we, along with my brother ed and his wife ruth, ate at apple bees...
...fun time!

...the hubs were silly!
...mine on the l, ed on the r...

...we took adavantage of the 'two for twenty' deal...

...yummy appetizers...

...and dessert...

...blond brownie w/ maple sauce!


...here we are...
...we so enjoyed our meals of shrimp, ribs and chicken...
...i forgot to snap pics...

****************

our worship was centered around honoring our past small group leaders by giving them a blessing for investing in our lives...

...a nugget from the mini sermon...

God is perfect...
perfect love...
perfect justice...
perfect mercy...
perfect grace...
...one gets the picture...
too often i get really disturbed at the injustices of life - then i rest in the truth that God is the perfect judge and He will balance the scales and will make all things perfect...

i'm comforted!

...blessedness to all!
