A friend of mine (that I have known since I was the age my daughter is now!) invited me and the children over to enjoy her wonderful garden today. We jumped at the nice invitation! :-)

cleaned and organized ~ dishes and glasses cabinets
I think with Day 10 I will stop posting each day. I do plan to continue a small cleaning and organizing project on most days throughout the rest of April and May. I will be working in our master bathroom next. I hope you continue to tackle a small thing each day. I enjoyed reading what each of you were working on. Did you discover how much can really be accomplished in regular, small blocks of time?
Little by little our spring cleaning will bring big rewards!
What did you work on today? Please share! :-)

Celebrating today,

the risen Saviour.
Luke 24:1-12 NKJV
1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’”8 And they remembered His words. 9 Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles. 11 And their words seemed to them like idle tales, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.

A Morning Treat
1 serving
1 small banana
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy milk
*1 cup frozen fruit
Place banana, juice, and milk in blender. Blend until smooth. Add frozen fruit. Blend until smooth. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy!
*I keep 16 ounce bags of frozen fruit in the freezer for smoothies. I like 'fruit smoothie blend ~ strawberries, mangos, and pineapple' and 'berry medley ~ raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries'.

where moth and rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also."
~Matthew 6:19-21
