"Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more. He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit."
- Richard G. Scott
MY BROTHERS
"When suffering, we may in fact be nearer to God, than we have been in our entire lives. That knowledge can turn every such situation into a would-be temple. Regarding our earthly journey, the Lord has promised: "I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left. My spirit shall be in your hearts and mine angels round about you to bear you up. That is an everlasting declaration of God's love and care for us and perhaps especially in times of trouble."
I know I have seen blue mirrors everywhere!! I find these gorgeous mirrors, look at the price tag and usually gasp. $400 to $700...this is a little out of my price range. Okay, really I don't know if I would ever spend that much on a mirror. Well, I really liked the mirror so I've been keeping an eye out for a mirror that has great structure just not the right color. I knew I could remake it to what I wanted. I found my beveled mirror with a fat frame for $15. That is definetely more reasonable. It still had the protective cardboard corners on it. It was brand new. I didn't love the gold color and faux bamboo design in it. So, I painted it blue and then added pitch black stain over the top. I finally got my blue mirror!
Way to go! It is beautiful! I have got to finish my window. I can't decide what vinyl wording to put on it...do I need to strip all the old paint off, repaint and then destress it? I feel clueless!:)
