Have a Happy 4th of July weekend, everyone. Since 1776 is celebrated in the United States as the official beginning of its nationhood, I thought it appropriate to remind myself how blessed we are to call it our home. Not only are we committed to America's founding principles but we honor our VETERANS who shed their blood in defense of our country. While there are fools who work to divide and tear us down, still many more others work tirelessly to #makeamericagreatagain. We are one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all, not divided by political affiliation or religion but brothers and sisters united in love and thanksgiving. In a perfect world it would be that simple but sadly it is not. So we all try in our individual lives to do a little better each year with the Bible and the Constitution guiding our steps but religious liberty and the adherents to the Constitution of the United States is NOT negotiable. If it were, it wouldn't be the United States anymore. If you want something else either shut up or leave. I'm going to celebrate the founding principles of my country, thank God for His blessings, honor the veterans, support President Donald J. Trump, and pray for the safety of all our elected leaders who serve honorably. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND GOD BLESS AMERICA. #Winning #DrainTheSwamp #USA #Trump #fourthofjuly #veterans #billofrights #declarationofindependents #godblessamerica #Americasbirthday #theconstitionoftheunitedstates #foundingfathers

I love my new whimsical solar garden lights...they make me so happy. #garden #summer (at A.C. Moore)

We just had our garage floor redone in sandstone with sprinkles and I just love how it turned out. Time to throw a dance party.

Early morning vibes...time to get up and go worship the Lord. Hope everyone is having a beautiful weekend. Remember the fallen.

The Mammillaria cactus, that I've had for many years, just blossomed. Even beauty has thorns. Having thorns for real would be nice...always prepared to defend myself. :) #cactus

The salmon-colored flesh of this mamey sapota fruit is as beautiful as it was creamy, sweet and delicious. It is an excellent source for vitamins C, B-6, potassium, E and copper. I ordered mine from @miamifruit on instagram. If you've never tried this fruit before, you're in for a treat. #veganfoodporn #vegan #hclf #hclfvegan #tropicalfruit #florida #mamey #mameysapote

For lunch I had a fun and delicious mono meal of purple star apple also called caimito. Besides being sweet and yummy, did you know that they are a good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, and Iron? Thanks, @miamifruit, they were awesome! #veganfoodporn #vegan #fruit #starapple #hclf #hclfvegan #caimito

Everyone loved my chocolate Easter eggs. What's Easter without chocolate! Or anytime? But these babies are good for you....in a food processor combine 1 cup of pitted medjool dates, 1 cup organic rice crispies, 1/2 cup ground cacao nibs and 4 tablespoons of almond milk. Form into 1 inch balls or eggs (about 10). Roll and coat each one in a bowl containing a 1/2 cup of melted organic dark chocolate chips and then roll them over a plate of about 1 cup rice crispies. Refrigerate for 2 hours. This is a delicious recipe. Enjoy ♡ #veganfoodporn #vegan #Easter

Best homemade soup ever! Try this nutritious yummy low fat/calorie recipe. Water saute 1 large chopped yellow onion and 3 large chopped red peppers for ten minutes on medium heat. Then add 1/4 tsp Himalayan salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, 1 tsp thyme, 3 large minced cloves of garlic for an additional minute. Next add 7 large chopped red tomatoes and simmer covered for 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Blend entire thing with immersion blender. Ladle in soup bowls and add fresh strips of basil while hot to infuse the flavor. Enjoy! #vegan #veganfoodporn #tomato #hclf

Peace be with you. HE IS RISEN!!! Luke 24:2-3 “And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.” Wishing you and your loved ones a Happy Resurrection Day. Luke 24: 46 "The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." If we believe in the resurrection of Jesus, we are saved by His blood and we will be granted eternal life. John 11:25-26 “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,  and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” Peter 1:3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.” That means we never have to fear death again. 1Corinthians 15 "The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Acts 4:33  “And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all." Amen! ♡♡♡ #callalily #Easter #resurrectionsunday #passover #unleavenedbread #FirstFruits (at Calvary PSL)
