From sea to shining sea.... glass!

He gathers the waters of the sea into jars^[;
he puts the deep into storehouses... Ps 33:7

So... I've fallen in love with Pinterest.  You see, I'm a common girl.  I grew up on a farm during the 80's.  (If you're not a farm girl... that means farm crisis and little money)  I shop for most of my clothes at second hand stores still, and I love DIY projects and repurposing things.  I feel like God has blessed me in so many ways, but he still asks me to be a good steward of what he has blessed me with. 

This is my latest project.  I have spent the last 2 days on the couch pretty sick, and my little ones were needing some attention and activity.  So... I pulled up this paint idea and got out the little glass bottles I have been saving, and put them to work.  They had a hay day!   

These little gems are going to sit on our front porch. Not only are they pretty cute, but each time I come in the front door, I will remember them sitting and painting and giggling.  Caleb and Emma had a blast.  (Carter opted out!)  I promise to post an "after" photo when my little springy decorating is done! 

Psalm 33:7 says he gathers the sea into jars....  and so much more.  I love the entire Psalm 33.....  read it for yourself! 

Psalm 33

¹ Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous;

it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
² Praise the LORD with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
³ Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
⁴ For the word of the LORD is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
⁵ The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
⁶ By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
⁷ He gathers the waters of the sea into jars^[a];
he puts the deep into storehouses.
⁸ Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all the people of the world revere him.
⁹ For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
¹⁰ The LORD foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
¹¹ But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
¹³ From heaven the LORD looks down
and sees all mankind;
¹⁴ from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
¹⁵ he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
¹⁶ No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
¹⁷ A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
¹⁸ But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
¹⁹ to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
²⁰ We wait in hope for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.
²¹ In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
²² May your unfailing love be with us, LORD,
even as we put our hope in you.
