Operation Heart

Copyright © 2014 Operation Heart

I have been making hearts for the past few weeks. What to do with these hearts  I thought to myself? I could sell them for gain but then the Lord put on my heart that I distribute them as witnessing tools. What a great idea to be used as a symbol of the love of God. I will hand sew and stuff hearts and purchase ribbon with John 3:16 on it attach it to the hearts and give them out. I am still working on the prayer blankets also. Thank you God for giving me to notion to do so with the hearts I make and also giving me a name. God didn't make me partial to hearts for no reason at all.

Operation Heart: help, equip, assist, reach, and teach.

I will have cards made with this on it: A Heart from God---I give you this heart to let you know God loves you and all he wants from you is yours in return.

I covet your prayers as the ministry begins to go forth. In Jesus name. Amen.

How I spent Father's Day

It's here and I am well. This would be the day that day comes to my house and I fix his favorite foods and me and the kids spend the day with him showering him with presents and love. Daddy is in Heaven now so I tried to think of something to do to take the edge of the day for me. I went to Penn's Landing. Dad use to like to go there and enjoy the free concerts. It is hot today but it felt good to go to a place he liked to go and just sit and think about him. Happy Father's Day Dad. I miss you.

The Bird

I am not a supporter nor do I seek to be involved in any practice mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:10-11. I have heard stories about birds that visit loved ones still on earth after the passing of someone close to them. It is as if the bird acts as a liaison to let the person on earth know something.  Now the Bible reads where the dove was used by God as a purpose with Noah and Elijah being fed by the Raven.  I declare its this medium size bird that keeps flying to my window where I have the American Flag with my Dads picture attached to it outside. He been showing up for the past three or four days. This bird keeps coming in the corner by his picture flapping his wings and I can see him every time because he comes straight up to the window. I don't know the reason why all of a sudden this is happening. My sister in Christ said she believes he was sent and to praise God for that little birdie. A Pastor that I am acquainted with said the bird was letting me know that my Daddy is free and soaring in the spirit. Both these theories brought me joy. To think that bird came to my window these past few day to give me a unspoken message. It is quite funny that at the time when my grief began on Tuesday that bird started flying to my window and I saw him yesterday and today. Not a long visit just an appearance and then he leaves. God if you sent him thank you and Daddy if that's you I love you too. All in All it pleases me to think that this could be a possibility and it gives me comfort in a sense. One never knows but I sure love the thought.

 

Father's Day

 

 

Father's day is less then 72 hours away. Sons and Daughters around the world will be honoring their Dads or acknowledging them in some sort of way. God bless those who still have their dads on earth with them physically. I lost my dad to this life 6 months ago. Yes, I miss him and two days this week was kind of hard for me emotionally. It just hit me. I thought I had my emotions together because I refused to get wrapped up in this is the first, this is the second without kind of regimen. I was blessed to have my dad for 51 years. He was here for my Birthdays, Holidays, My Wedding, Graduation, the birth of his Grandchildren and Great-Grand. When I look back over the time he was here with us I have so many memories. Daddy did so much for me. He swatting flies that I was scared of in the early A. M. when I use to wake him up out of his bed to make go away. He was my protector, provider and defender. I remember our talks.  I still have two messages on my cell phone from him that I have not erased. I remember our goodbye hugs, kisses, and saying I love you to each other. The Bible says we have not because we ask not so I am asking, "God, please tell daddy I love him". As Father's Day fast approaches I will remember mine with love and Joy as I do everyday in his physical absence. I live in faith of being with Jesus for eternity when this life for me is over and the hope of seeing my Dad again.  Daddy not a day goes by that I don't think of you and this coming Sunday I will again be thinking of you with Joy, Pride, and Gratefulness to God for your life of 75 years and being my Dad for 51 of those years by God's Grace. Happy Father's Day!

Hung The Flag on my Porch for Daddy!

I like that I can see it through the window while I am laying on the couch. I will leave it up through Labor Day.

Another Patriotic Projet with Dad in mind.

 

A Patriotic heart

My dad had a Patriotic heart. I served in the US Air Force. I miss him everyday and after his passing I seemed to turn into a Patriotic woman. I love country décor and American décor fascinated me too. I bought some fabric last earlier this year in attempt to make a flag to go in the flag box I found at the thrift store. I had some left over and that's how I made the fabric stars I made for the crock arrangement and the Patriotic star pictured here. All it took was so elbow grease and creativity and for free I made this.
