How Geat is our God?

How great is our God?
He spares us knowing what lies ahead.
For me this is crucial.
If I knew I was to face the struggles
I have had in life I might have given up.
The Good Lord would not do that to me!

How great is the peace and the tranquility
I receive when I fall to knees in prayer?
Greater than the sea of salty tears I pour
Out when my sadness or illness overwhelms me.
Or for but God before me, therfore I go.
I follow His footprints in the sand and see
That He has indeed carried me through
Another traumatic ordeal.

Oh how great is but none other than Our Lord.
For Him I give thanks for my life being  spared.
To You my Lord I devote my endeavors,
May I serve You and others my Lord in their
Times of need ashave You and so many dear
To me, praise be to you GOD most high!
Hosanna Hosanna, I shout out loud and rejoice!
Yes indeed How great thou art my Lord.

Unto  the Heaavens I pour my soul.
I will dedicate all my life to Thee oh Lord,
Rejuveante me, heal me, mend me, bend me,
Shape me Lord oh God into the women I need to be
To do Thy will on Earth and one day join You
In the Heavens, Indeed I know How Great Thou Art -
Oh LOrd Hear My CAll, my song of Praise to You!
Thank You God, dear Lord and Master for being
Who and how great thou art for me, and sparing me.

To You I owe my songs of praise
To You I owe ny earthly days.
To You my LOrd I strive to serve in all ways
Holy,and magnify Thy name.
I am but a humble woman Lord and will do Your will.
Please lead me, guide me, and shelter me from harm...
As I travel nearer and nearer my God to Thee.

Indeed, How Great Thou art, staright from my heart!

What tickles you PINK and Cheers you up!

Well, bad news for some, but let's make it a hapy pink with all my pink friends stopping by. I was hospitalized late Monday morning. The doctors do not know what ails me other than I am full of**** Yes, they actually said that to me. I look like I am 6 months pregnant.

I am doing a Pink Cheer Me Up Post! First being stuck in ahospital bed in boring hospital gowns is the most awful way to be seen. Glad this isn't a 2 way screen you's all run and hide!

You know what tickles me pink?  Yep, fun hot pink boas!  

Oh how I loved playing dress-up!

And of course a pair of sassy pink slippers trimmed with feathers...

Soft and cozy pale pink nightie.

And now time for a nap.

Oh yeah, I forgot you do not sleep EVER in hospitals!

Being with my daughter Jenni CHEERS me up!

Having my son home from Afghanistanwould CHEER me up!!

The smile on his face CHEERS me up (the most loveable man in the world).

The view of  Glimmerglass Lake is breathtaking and always cheers me up!

Hot pink gladiolas Cheer me up, the flower for all us Leo/August babies!

Sitting at my computer with a cup of fresh brewed SUMATRA roast coffe cheers me up!!!

So from my hospital bed to your phone

I have begun collecting FOLGERS coffe plastic cans and PRINGLES chips cans for sugar cookies and homemade peanut btrittle for the men and women srving overseas and stateside. FOLGERS will be sponsoring us as well. I have yet to hear from PRINGLES. I like to recycle so that is why I chose these cans.

                                                                                                             Homemade Peanut Brittle

Yummy to the tummy sugar cookies stars and stripes!

Here is the scoop on this latest news: My son Joey and 2 of my nephews, Kenny and Andrew are serving overseas during this awful time of war. I want to do my part to help support their efforts only my are in PEACE! We have a goal of sending out 50 packages to either our loved ones and yours units or individual shipments. What will you do to help us GROW this event! Be a collector of cans and ship them to me. Be a local organizer or regional organizer. Get your local high schools and colleges, VFW involved, they all care. School students have to do a community learning service project before they graduate. What an awesome way to earn the credits! My local PennySaver is running the ads free to help spread the word. Churches too! I will soon be interviewed by the PennySaver and other sources to help promote this event.

Lance Corporal Joseph on the night e was deployed to Afghanistan.

Please pray for him and all our loved ones who serve so we can live free!

In addition to cookies and peanut brittle,they need books to read, journals, notebooks, pens, chewing gum, nothing soft and gooey because of temperature changes and shipping time.

 We are offering a sponsorship  for each personal soldier you want pampered valued at $15 for a can of treats and a customized embroidered camoflauge bandana with the loved one's name embroidered on it. This is a keepsake from home that is worn inside of their helmets. Check back soon to see pictures of our package you can have sent for $15. The cookies and peanut brittle treats are free of charge and will be sent monthly to APO addresses we are given.

To join and submit your requests email me at cansforcookiesforustroops@yahoo.com Include soldier's name, APO address and what armed force troop he/she is serving in and where. I will post your pics on my blog after approval, email pics to the same email...
