PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW

It's the day after the turkey. Frank & I had a nice time together just the two of us. No hurry, no rush, just relax all day. Took my time preparing the traditional dinner which was cooked by Vons, so all I had to do was heat it up and cook some dishes. Adam, Chante & Gina stopped by around three and stayed awhile before heading to her mother's. Tim, Leah, Timothy, Larissa and Roxie, their dog, came by around 6 PM for dessert. I had a cherry, chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding and pumpkin pies to choose from. Roxie is the cutest little thing. A good dog. Listens well, didn't smell that dog smell (which i don't like), friendly and didn't pee in my house.

Today I'm looking at cameras on the internet. I have this urge to buy myself a good camera. I'd like the one on TV, the Nikon D30. Whew! I won't be getting that for a long time. The price!!
My dad always had a camera on hand. He was a picture taker. So many memories he captured for me growing up with all my cousins.

I miss my dad. I wish I had...
Talked more with him.
Ask him to teach me cribbage
Ask him about his Navy days
have him teach me to keep score while watching a baseball game
have him give me that red covered WWII book which he would read to me. I've looked for that book at moms but it's gone. I always have the hope that it will be found one day.


No plans for today but chill out with Frank. He just dug out the Christmas music (his tradition) and it's playing. Candles are lit, there's a chill outside, perfect weather. Frank will do his thing, I'll do mine and then we'll meet up around noon and spend the rest of the day together. I never get tired of spending time with my man. 37 years together and it does get better. He is my BFF. I love his sense of humor, which keeps me laughing so much. Silly stuff, but so funny between us.


It's time to get myself dressed. I'm still in my pj's and it's almost 10 AM.

I do thank the Lord for my life and His great riches for me, His revealed mysteries, His Son, His eternal Word, HIM.

ABOUT ME

I've changed my profile picture. These are my three treasures: Timothy, Larissa and Gina. My three grandchildren. They are so precious to me. My gifts from God.

BETH MOORE SIMULCAST

Beth was so anointed yesterday/today as she passionately encouraged us to continue in God's Word, our only source of power. I wish I could convey the teaching here but I'm not a good note taker (it distracts me, I get more out of just listening). If you, dear reader, would like to know what she talked about, go to www.lifeway.com in a couple of weeks and they will have it posted. Go to the Living Proof Life link and Lifeway ususally posts a Godtube video and a summary of the weekend.

God's Word was so powerfully given to us and of course, with Beth, her passion for the Word is so contagious.

If anyone reading this has never heard of Beth Moore go to YouTube or Godtube and search Beth Moore and you'll come up with some videos.

I so look forward to putting into practice the things that will keep me abiding in Him.

POST VBS

THIS ARE TWO OF MY CREW: GLORIA (L) & ASENATH (R)

Leah & Paloma now friends.

My third crew member Leah & me.



Our whole class & crew making a craft

Whew! I made it! VBS 2008 is now a memory. The kids had a blast and my preschool crew are tired but we had some fun with the kids. Working with 3-4 year old all week has its own unique qualitites. We made a lot of trips to the bathroom. When one had to go all of a sudden everyone had to go. We had tears for momma. We had a little spat "you're not my friend" type of thing. (We adults have them too, we just don't come out and say it, we just politely ignore each other.) By day five these two girls were friends again. We colored, made crafts, had snacks, watched a "Chadder" video and saw skits telling the Bible story, and played, played, played.

It was a great VBS and ALL the kids attending had such a fun time.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

Vacation Bible School

Must go plan my lesson.

Working with preschoolers. :)

BE STILL SUNDAY

I like this idea.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE OR WHAT

Today Timothy got hit in the head with the baseball at his game. A huge lump appeared so Tim & Leah took him to urgent care. He's fine but it was a little scarry after all we've been through the last couple of weeks.

At the park I turned to Frank and asked him if this was spiritual warfare. He said he was thinking the same thing.

I've since prayed for physical protection on my entire family. And I am not going to fall for satan's lies that cause me to panic. Timothy, as well as all my family, is in His hands.
