Son-Day: "I Am A Child Of God"

I Am A Child Of God
I am a child of God
And He has sent me here
Has given me an earthly home
With parents kind and dear


Lead me
Guide me
Walk beside me
Help me find the way
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him someday...


I am a child of God
And so my needs are great
Help me to understand His words
Before it grows too late


Lead me
Guide me
Walk beside me
Help me find the way
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him someday...

{All I go through, I come to You, You give me strength to make it through, Your my Savior, Holy One, Yes you}


I am a child of God
Rich blessings are in store
If I but learn to do His will
I'll live with Him once more


Lead me
Guide me
Walk beside me
Help me find the way
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him someday...

{All I go through, I come to You, You give me strength to make it through, Your my Savior, Holy One, Yes you}

I am a child of God
His promises are sure
Celestial glory shall be mine
If I can but endure


Lead me
Guide me
Walk beside me
Help me find the way
Teach me all that I must do
To live with Him someday...

Thankful Thursday: 02/12/09

This week Thankful Thursday is all about...

There are so many layers of LOVE, today I'm focusing on the love of apprecating what I have...
"...A wise son maketh a glad father..."
Proverbs 10:1
"Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers."
Proverbs 17:6

EASY, I love that my baby, Taylor is a big ol growed up man now...Smile Taylor...

I love that Mike stops by and gives me a hug, I love that he is willing to serve my country in the Army National Guard Reserves...

I love that my daughter shared her new dream truck with me, that we 'corralled' the girls I babysit, and my grands in the truck bed while she showed me the inside...
I love that the little ones had so much fun bouncing and giggling...

 

I love that I am able to watch my grands every now and then...
I love how David gives you this look when you tell him no (most of the time)...

 

I love how David is all boy, loving shoes and things that move...
I love that his two favorite toys (the owl clock and wind up radio) cost me almost nothing at Goodwill...
I love the look on little man's face when he saw the video controller on the floor, I thought he was going to pop...

 

I love that LauraJune is all girl, tending to her babies, packing her bag, grabbing her baby and ready to go...

 

I love that I live in a place where my door and blinds can be left open, for the sun to come in...
I love to see how they, too, enjoy the sunlight...
I love the way they play side by side...

I love how they play together, irritating each other, amusing each other...

I love MySpace where DJ posted this picture...
I love that DJ is also willing to serve in the Army National Guard Reserves for my protection and safety....

I love MySpace where Eric posted this picture...
I love that Eric is finishing his last month as an active Sailor...

I'm so thankful for my little life. For my BIG loves. Blessings of love to everyone:)



My goal this year is to soak it up, to bloom where I am planted, and enjoy the ride...
Counting my many blessings naming them one by one...

WHY WHY WHY????

Why, Why, Why?



Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost dead?



Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they already know there is not enough money?


Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars; but have to check when you say the paint is still wet?


Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?


Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?


Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?


Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?


If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?


Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?


Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?


Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?


Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?


Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?


How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?


When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That really hurt, why don't you watch where you're going?'


Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?


In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?


How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?


The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness.
Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

Ok, its me:)
Have a great day:)

Bloomin' Tuesday! 02/10/09

Just a little bloomin' today!
Blooming like crazy:)

For Valentine's Day (sweet hubby bought me this at my suggestion-smart fella)

In a week this butterfly pea vine stem has grown to 3ft (see the tiny start from last week in the last picture). This is the second winter I have cut it back and brought it in, its always a BIG surprise to find it growing...

I brought in the wire frame and moved up the sun...

here it is as a little bitty start about a foot tall last Tuesday.

Happy Bloomin' Tuesday!
I'm joining MsGreen "thumb" Jean for Bloomin' Tuesday! Come join in or see others!
Today is overcast and warm, the weather man says we have a potentioal for some rainy storms this evening. We need the rain (been having some wildfire problems in our area), BUT not possible tornado storms! So, in this weather (is it just me, or does it seem a little crazy? Or is this just normal?), stay safe:)

Son-Day: "A Child's Prayer"

Please listen to in order to hear the beautiful round at the end...

A Child's Prayer
Janice Knapp Perry

Heavenly Father
Are you really there
And do you hear and answer every child's prayer
Some say that Heaven is far away
But I feel it close around me when I pray

Heavenly Father
I remember now
Something Jesus told disciples long ago
Suffer the children to come to me
Father in prayer I'm coming now to thee

Pray, He is there
Speak, He is listening
You are His child
His love now surrounds you

He hears your prayer
He loves the children
Of such is the kingdom
The kingdom of Heav'n

We have recently sang this song, at church, twice, and I wanted to share.
It is very much on my mind and heart.
Often I sing this to myself and replace the third person with first person, ME.
I am a child of God, and He hears MY prayers.
We never stop being His child.
He loves, and hears EACH of His children.


Father, help us each take a little time, be still, and know that you are God, and You are Here. In Jesus' Holy name, Amen
