AS THE HEART SEARCHES WORD FOR WORD

Image
  Laveda D. Rockford As I sit here thinking of this past year, my mind searches for happiness that escapes through discouraging thoughts that come with what we all know as a disastrous 2020. With closures and closings, demands of impersonal prompts, businesses drowning from doubt, while employees search for ways to compete with the decreasing work pool, where do we find happiness?   As a Christian my happiness this year as I look back has come from the Word, the LORD, my Lord, Jesus Christ. While we finish celebrating His birthday whether He was born this month or not, I searched the Word for mysteries that, for me, twinkle in the sky announcing something more. Read this and have your heart search for more than what man can offer. What God can offer through the years. God’s plans are so much more than what we could plan. That is enough for me to grip my anxiety by the tail and swirl it through space. No matter what, God has got this! To explain what I am talking about, rea...

  My Mother wrote ‘Joseph, Son of David’ in the 1990’s  and presented it at one of our family gatherings.  In celebration of Christmas, I hope you enjoy my narration of  ‘Joseph, Son of David’. God bless and Merry Christmas! © 2020 Laveda D. Rockford

ROCKFORD SMILES: DEC 2020 PAINTING

Image
This afternoon I spent a couple of hours painting. Here is a video for you to see. Please remember that this painting is in the beginning stages and it is a little rough. Even though I do not have a lot of time to spend painting, I sure do enjoy it.   To tell you the truth, I could sit in front of a canvas all day and paint. Once I pick up the brush and touch the canvas, the creative side of my brain cannot stop thinking about it. It is very difficult to sit the brush down and walk away.   I hope you are finding things to help you through the tough times. God bless and have a blessed week ahead! © 2020 Laveda D. Rockford

ROCKFORD SMILES: AN AVERAGE WOMAN WITH A LOT ON MY PLATE

Image
Here is a little Christmas cheer for your enjoyment. Take a look at some decorations and let me show you what I found while hauling wood up to the house. I would love to hear your suggestions about it!  I'm just an average woman with a lot on my plate, yet still blessed. With a full time job and a wonderful Mother who has stage 4 cancer, though the Doctor said that with her treatments she will most likely die of old age rather than cancer. I am very thankful for that. She is my best friend! The more stress that comes my way, I can be grateful that I have remained healthy throughout this terrible time.  My prayers are for all who are suffering from cancer and any disease. Also, those who are suffering through poverty, or any other issue that the COVID virus situation has caused.  May the LORD bless you and keep you! God bless you and have a blessed holiday season! See you next time! © 2020 Laveda D. Rockford
