I’m a day early. Been off my game lately when it comes to creating, writing and photography. I do have a really good rant about sugar coming up though, still deciding on whether or not to post it…you all know how that goes. I don’t like seeing anyone being taken advantage of and I saw something that has to do with sugar that was ugly. An ugly truth.
I’m also trying to figure out how to do an updates post, which I always loved sharing with you all. I have to do my updates post a little different now, without sharing too much about my personal life now that a certain stalking troll has found my site. I’m still working on figuring it all out.
My updates post include something to me that is the most important part of it and that is the prayers to send out that many people can be included in, answered or not, so important to continue to pray for others. The more that pray the better for the one we are praying for.
So hopefully I will have an updates post for you all soon. Also been working on editing my thousands of photos to start working on the photo part of my project. If you have been a follower of mine for awhile you know what that project is. Just have to be careful now on my site with sharing my dreams, again…since I was discovered by a very bitter and jealous stalking troll.
To any of you out there that are also working on goals , bucket lists, or dreams …careful about sharing too much. There are some really wicked and jealous people out there in the world that get really angry seeing that others are happy.
There are some people who love to act like victims in order to grift others into giving them attention. They hold onto their hate and grudges for decades in order to play the victims they want others to believe they are . But if you look closer, you always get the truth, that they are the real instigators that poke and push others into eventually poking back. Their goals are to get the ones they envy to look bad, to turn other people against the ones they secretly envy and are extremely jealous of. To get others to turn against and hate the ones they obsess about.
Bullies never change. Bullies hate when someone finally confronts them on their behind the back ways of lying and gossiping about people that they do to try and sabotage other people’s happiness and relationships with others. Jealousy is one ugly old monster.
Tip to anyone being bullied- keep everything, everything they send you and be prepared that they will go to all levels to make you look bad, even if it means making things up. They lie about everything. Their greatest fear is that others will eventually discover the truth about them.
Anyway, enough of that, thought I share something fun we did a couple days ago. We went to a book store a couple days before Valentine’s day to see if there were any new books to read. I believe books are the perfect gifts to give out. Valentine’s day coming up tomorrow means there will be lots of opportunities to give out gifts. You don’t have to have a lot of money to give a gift either. A kind word or kind gesture is a gift. Smiles are free everyone, just make sure strangers can see them.
There were a lot of Valentine’s cards and gift items out displayed on tables. Some really cute cards too.
This pizza making kit would not only be great for a special Valentine’s date but also as a wedding gift for a new couple.
You can’t go wrong with chocolates as a gift either.
And since we were hanging out in a bookstore, classics are always great books to buy for the ones you love too.
I didn’t know what this was about when I first saw it. I don’t really spend a lot of time on social media. My daughter explained what these package books were about. What a cute way to market a book. A surprise story and once unwrapped you find out what story you got.
Happy book shopping everyone and have a great Valentine’s Day too.
Our Little Red House 
Your idea of smiles to everyone, kind gestures and giving a book for Valentines Day are great ideas.
I am speaking Psalms 91 from the Passion Translation, over you and your family today:
“When you abide under the shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden in the strength of God Most High. He’s the hope that holds me and the stronghold to shelter me, the only God for me, and my great confidence.
He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy, and he will protect you from false accusation and any deadly curse. His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you. You can run under his covering of majesty and hide. His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.
You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you. Don’t fear a thing! Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you, nor will the powers of evil be launched against you. Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed, you will remain unscathed and unharmed.
You will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment, for they will be paid back for what they have done! When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High, our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm. How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us? God will send His messengers- angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go,
defending you from all harm.
If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you and keep you from stumbling!
You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness,
trampling every one of them beneath your feet!
For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:
“Because you have chosen to be My great lover, I have chosen to greatly protect you.
I will set you in a high place, safe and secure before My face.
I will answer your cry for help every time you pray, and you will find and feel My presence,
even in your time of pressure and trouble.
I will be Your glorious Hero and give you success!
You will be satisfied with a full life, and with all that I do for you!
For you will feast your eyes on the fullness of My salvation, drinking deeply of me!”
Happy Valentines Day and resting in Shaddai’s shadow always. Love and prayers!

Thanks for the sweet smiles, as you do and for sharing your thoughts. Don’t understand how or why others would be jealous of others’ dreams. 😞 Sorry to read that energy came into your space.

Big hugs back and have a Happy Valentine’s Day too. I will be posting that sugar rant next week sometime. I have a zoo adventure to share with everyone first…hopefully this Friday. So sad how they add so much sugar to food here in America and it s bad for us. Sugar, oil, salt and chemicals.
