Sometimes I don't like the really bright colors but this one is really yummy. It's my birthday today and that makes it feel like a party although I haven't had a birthday party since I was 16 and I had to ask for it instead of presents. Here's why it's a party. I was convinced God told me I'd die when I was 74. All year I kept expecting something awful and with the virus raging it seemed a prophesy about to happen. Well I just turned 75 and who knows how much time I still have? It definitely wasn't God telling me I'd die. I pray to be pure of heart so someday I get to see God who is the ultimate beauty. If you get to heaven but don't get to see God you never see the ultimate anything...love, beauty, knowledge---name whatever is good. This is one time second place won't be good enough. I want the first place seat of seeing God. Others who certainly deserve it (martyrs, etc.) can have the power, glory, and honor of being His best (which I am not) and helping Him run things, but it would be a terrible thing for me to know God is there but won't let me see Him. Well this is one of my best birthdays. God has already helped me find gloves I misplaced and got my seeds to germinate which are presents I asked of Him.
Wishing you tons of joy today.
Happy birthday, pixi! Enjoy every minute of it, too. Hugs.

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great day. You deserve a big party. I enjoy your attention to us and responses to us. I don't get out much so you all are my connection to the outside world.

Happy birthday to you, pixipixel, I'm so glad you feel like it's a party!
You know, my mom had a premonition she wouldn't live very long -- and made it into her 90s. We can never predict what life will hold for us, but sure seems God has more in store for you, dear pixipixel. hugs

Hi becky, dbnc, Karen, mantee, rpayne and bopitextreme. Wow. I am feeling like I hit the love jackpot. Thank you all. Thanks for the butterfly on your shulder wish dbnc. Did you remember how much I always loved butterflies and had a whole collection of them? Bopitx...I don't remember ever hearing from you. If you are a new friend to C4J welcome and please keep posting. Hope I'm like your mom! Becky, I too count on "talking" to the folks here. While my husband and I are still "all there" and together he isn't big on conversation so I love sharing on this site. Karen, you night owl you! I can't stay awake that late for anything. And here you are still going strong! Good for you. Thank you for the good wishes. Manatee as the saying goes from your lips to God's ears. Rpayne, I hope I can really make every day count for good.
Thank you every one. I wish you all the happiness your hearts can hold.

Yes pixipixil, I am new to posting, though I have been puzzling for over a year. I so enjoyed reading everyone's wonderful comments and seeing what great friends you all have become, and I'm thrilled I finally got up the courage to join in!. This is an extraordinarily caring community I will continue to follow your postings and wish you every happiness...

Thank you, bopit. Please chime in when you feel you want to share. We love having new additions to our "coffee clatch." (Or tea party...or...)

Pixipixil, When we go to Heaven we will be a spirit or angel. We will all see God. That was his plan for as many that make it will have eternity in Heaven. It says in the bible the better we live for him the more crowns we will have. We have to ask for forgiveness and always live for him. I think you know all this from the things you say I know you are a good woman and make me feel good. I turned 68 last Nov. 8th. We aren't that far in age. I will pray for you to be encouraged about yourself and all the other puzzlers. I haven't so much fun as the last two years with you all.

Hi Beckydent. I couldn't find your post to me on March 29 or April 10. Your two posts here on the March 26 puzzle I read loud and clear. Hope you find many crowns in heaven.

Hi pixi,
I don't know where I was March 2021, but I missed this post. What a great event! Congratulations on your birthday and I'm guessing now you are 76. I just turned 70 this year and I can't believe I'm still here. The Lord is indeed kind to me. Thanks for the great story!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.

Hi pixipixil! I'm so glad you had a happy Easter with your loved ones. I was feeling really lonely last week so I went to stay with friends for a week, just going home today. I feel so much better and had the most wonderful Easter! Big hug to you

Thank you dbnc. I love butterflies, and I love singing.
A little bit challenging. The SKEWED and larger ones probably would have taken a LOT longer with the SMALLER rainbow pieces, and my eyes would have gotten a BIG-time workout.
Wishing you tons of joy today.
