News From Shadymont

Not a lot going on at Shadymont over the weekend.  I went to GW on my own and to a large thrift store.  I found a couple things that are being used in my bedroom.  I'm looking for a small settee or chaise lounge for the bedroom as well.  I want to make it my haven.  I have chairs in there, but really do want a chaise, or settee.  I'd rather have a settee, but my sister in law found a chaise.  I'm going to see if it's still availabale at $50.  If so, I might get it.  I need to figure out how to rearrange my room if I get it.  I just want the room to feel cozy and cohesive.

The two items I found at the thrift shop look really good in my room.  One is a lovely picture ($2.00), and one is a gorgeouse flower arrangement ($3.00).

The picture was in the lobby of the thrift store and the lady at the register wasn't sure it was for sale, but she sold it to me anyway for $2.

My metal bed wearing different bedding.  This quilt was found at GW and the following day I found the shams to match.


The box to the right under the upper shelf is the perfect size to hold important items for the desk.

I'm hoping to find a settee to go in this room.

Beginning a gallery wall.

Biblical thought for the day:

Psalms 23:

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,

He leadeth me beside still waters, He restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of rightousness for His name sake

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, thou annointest my head with oil.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

A year ago this week, I was personally in the valley of the shadow of death.  I could feel myself drifting from this life.  The hospital staff were about to code me, but as quickly as I felt I was leaving, I was back.  Two things were sure as I felt my life leaving me,  I was not afraid, and there was the most peaceful feeling in my body and soul.  We never know when our time will come to leave this earthly body, so keep your mind and heart clean and near to our Lord, so that whenever it may come, we will know peace without fear.

May God bestow his richest blessings on each of you and give you peace.

See you soon!
