| Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalms 119:11 |
While I was in bed for those days after surgery,and couldn't really do much else,I piled my bed full of books and magazines to read and look through. Of course,I got a lot of bible reading in as well! When at one point I became bored,I played with my camera,taking random pictures. Thought I would let you see! Nothing important,just random things in my bedroom......and all my books snuggled in beside me. I often sleep with my bible and other books I am reading. Don't know why,I just do! :)

| Country Sampler...love it! |
 |
| Amish Proverbs...a birthday gift from daughter! I have enjoyed it so much. |
 |
| Contentment and trust are characteristics of a satisfied life. |
 |
| Little Book of Prayers... from one of you, my dear blogging friends |
But that isn't the most recent gift I received ...I still need to let out the secret for that! Check previous post!
 |
| From a long time pen pal friend,that has become as close as a sister! |
If someone didn't know better,they might think this was a little girls room,Nope...its mine!
I do believe my little girl lives on though. Somewhere in the back of my mind. She needs a little comforting,from time to time!

I like your idea of a younger girl still somewhere inside you. Me too. We still sparkle sometimes with that youthful inner child. I like your book selection.
I think the same way,I know that young girl is still there.Yes,I have slept with My Bible,as a young single women alone in My apart.How well I remember those long scary nights in My early 20s,so far away from My parents and I hadn't met Paul yet.
I read a lot about the Amish too! I also sometimes fall asleep with books in my b ed and my Bible is always close at hand. That is a cute picture of you. So nice that you are starting to feel better.
Books and dolls abundant here as well! My you have such pretty blue eyes! Glad you are feeling better.
You are youthful looking Shelley. I'd like to think that being obedient to God is what makes youth shine through....and innocence.
I love books...I grew up in a rural area and books brought me joy. And before our town got a library, I used to read school book club order forms and dream over the description of the books..ha..
You are so right. We need to turn our hearts to God. And it is only through His Son that we can be saved, there is no other!
Such a lovely photo.. I see that young girl too.. and nothing better than our bedroom housing the things we love.. Mine has dolls too.. Just love them..
I absolutely love country sampler magazines too. and all the country decorating magazines..[do you think we are kin to each other,hahahaha].
Hugs my friend.
Shelley, you have beautiful blue eyes! Your room is sweet just as you are. Books are a great comfort and companion. Looks like you've got some great ones! Have a wonderful week! Twyla
We all love to have the child in us come out to play. I enjoyed seeing your dolls and special books.
Blessings,
Danielle
So happy to catch up with you today! Congrats on your son's marriage, I wish them both much happiness. I was sorry to hear about Duke. I know what a loss that can be. I'm glad to hear that your surgery went well and that you're getting better. There's certainly no need to rush the recovery so go slow and enjoy those books and quiet time! Being in Texas too, I'm sure you've had the hot, dry days. I hope you're getting a little relief like we are down here. A little rain and somewhat lower temps. Anything helps! Take care and great week!
Oh little Shelley!
Let me give you a hug!
((HUG))
Such a sweet post Shelley...I love that you acknowledge the child in you. More folks should.
I'm so glad you're enjoying the book!
Hope you are on the mend and doing better now! How nice to be surrounded by things you love!
So glad you are feeling better. You had some wonderful reads...love Country Sampler too..I also love reading and studying the Bible....Yes, I see that wonderful young spirit inside you....Blessings and keep thinking young...
You do look younger and happier. I'm so glad things went well and surrounding yourself with you favorite things goes a long ways to making us happy. Sending you some sweet hugs today!
