Tip of the Day 3/29/12

One of my favorite things to do in the warm months is dine Al Fresco. We enjoy the breezes from The Lake and the fresh air. So one of the things I do as part of my Spring Cleaning is washing down the outdoor dining table and chairs and making sure my placemats and dinnerware are ready for the season. Consider this as a regular dining option and enjoy the world around you. How about dinner on the deck tonight?

Word for Today, Crown: Several years ago after having a heart attack and beginning to give up on life my Nanny bounced back and is living life with joy. At 98 years young she loves to show visitors her portrait of when she was crowned "Miss Senior Oklahoma." She wants to be buried with her crown and sash. But the beautiful thing about my Nanny is that she knows that crown is not the only one she will ever wear. Her faith in Jesus guarantees her a crown, or crowns,
that she will be awarded in Heaven and will have the privilege of forever casting at Jesus' feet. Anyone that knows me well knows that is what I most look forward to for eternity. Thank you to my Nanny who passed her faith on to my Mom who has been casting her crowns at Jesus feet for almost a year. I can't wait to join her. "There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on that day, and not me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. The crown of glory that does not fade away."
