Winnings, Giveaways and more
We've all heard the saying you can't win if you don't play. Well over the last couple of weeks or so I have won several giveaways. So I just want to list them here and put a plug in to the blogger's that sponsored them. Also a couple of them has current giveaways going on, so go enter. You may be the next winner of a wonderful prize.
First I won a $40.00 gift certificate at CVS Stores on Susan's blog. Susan's blog is one I can go to for inspiration but also a laugh. She's a wonderful christian woman that loves to go motorcycle riding with her husband.
I didn't realize that it was going to be so hard to choose what I wanted to buy with it. I knew it would be something for "me" and something I wanted and wouldn't normally buy. So by the time I finally decided what do you know it was out of stock. I have never owned an oval platter, so I figured with the holidays coming up, why not. I found this one that I absolutely love. http://www.csnstores.com/Pfaltzgraff-5065153-PFZ2034.html Sorry it wouldn't let me save a picture of it.
Also I have been wanting to make a Texas chocolate sheet cake and didn't have a jelly roll pan, so I'm also getting one of these.
Then I won a family organizer on Lynn's blog over at Midday Escapades. Lynn was one of the first blogger's I followed when I began blogging. She helped this newbie alot. On Sunday's she has Sunday Giveaways Escape. So click on over and see all the giveaways listed there.
Next was the book Broken on the Back Row by Sandi Patty. I won it over at Kim's blog To Know Him Jesus. She is another wonder christian blogger. So when you have time go check her blog out I don't think you will regret it.
I read the book in two days, so I have decided to pass it on as a giveaway.
If you've made mistakes,
and long for restoration,
If you've lost your way
and are seeking a new direction,
If you've given up on yourself
and have forgotten how to believe,
this book can be a new beginning...
In it you will find a gentle message
of hope and healing,
of love and forgiveness,
of grace and redemption. Except from book.
You have until Friday October 29th to enter.
Last but not least over at Marina's blog I won a Wahl Color Pro Kit. When I told my husband he said your not trying it out on me. I told him it wouldn't be hard to use on yours. Your getting so many bald spots, we just shave it all and get it over with. :) She is always having giveaways so go enter and maybe you will be the next winner.
Also some of you may remember last year I had 12 days of giveaways. Beginning on December 1st I had at least one giveaway a day for 12 days. Just curious if anyone is interested in me doing that again this year. I know that's like asking a kid if they want candy. But I loved doing it even though it was alot of work. But I would just like ya'lls imput.

Happy Easter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope everyone has a wonderfully blessed Easter.
John 20
The Empty Tomb
1Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
2So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"
3So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.
4Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
5He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in.
6Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there,
7as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen.
8Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.
9(They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
10Then the disciples went back to their homes,
11but Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb
12and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13They asked her, "Woman, why are you crying?"
"They have taken my Lord away," she said, "and I don't know where they have put him."
14At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15"Woman," he said, "why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?"
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him."
16Jesus said to her, "Mary."
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher).
17Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' "
18Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
19On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"
20After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
21Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." 22And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
25So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"
But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."
26A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"
27Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."
28Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
29Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
30Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31But these are written that you may[a] believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
