The Little Mermaid

The Little Mermaid had a very important excursion recently.  She went to the LIBRARY for Story Book Hour.  Oh, they did all sorts of things that were very enjoyable to The Little Mermaid.  And she was picked out of all the other kids ~ um, I mean little mermaids ~  to have her picture made and was also given some very special necklaces.   I think the way that The Little Mermaid was dressed created quite a stir there with the Bigger Mermaids and caused her to get all that extra attention.   The Little Mermaid enjoys her trips to the library very much and will be back for another story hour adventure again really soon.  Until We Meet Again...

Gan-Gan's Pretty in Pink G-Baby

That G-Baby is so pretty in pink.  She is the Pretty in Pink G-Baby, for sure.  Won't you please pray for her salvation?  That is the most important thing in the world to me ~ that is to know that she accepts Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour.  Yes, pretty in pink.   But how much prettier to belong to the LORD JESUS CHRIST would she be in that pretty pink dress!  Until We Meet Again...

Time Flies

Happy Birthday, MOM

My Mom had her 77th birthday recently.  She doesn't look her age, but she is feeling it these days. She has lots of aches and pains and it's hard for her to get going most days.  Although, she might not feel great all the time,  I think she looks absolutely beautiful. Happy Birthday Mom, I hope you have many, many more.  I love you.  Until We Meet Again...

We Are New Creations In Christ

"Wherefore, put away all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls." says James 1:21.   If we are in Christ, we are to become new creatures, II Corinthians 5:17 states, "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." We are to lay aside all foul, dirty and obscene words, pictures, gestures, jokes and anything else that is excessive and unnecessary and overflowing with wickedness. We are to be well established and planted deeply in the Word of God. We are to be incorporated in the Word of God with such submission to Him, that we DESIRE to lay aside all the excessive filthiness of the world and to speak only that which glorifies and honors the LORD JESUS CHRIST. When we turn away from improper and disobedient behavior and when we are rooted securely in His Word, we are showing and teaching a lost and dying world that HE IS the LIVING WORD that is able to save our souls.  Dear Lord, Help me to live firmly established in Thy Word, leaving behind all improper and disobedient behavior so that others might see that Thou dost delight to save souls.  Until We Meet Again...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, G-BABY

That G-Baby of mine's birthday was last week and what a party she had.  Her Mom ~ my daughter ~ threw that Baby some more party.  It had a Carnival Theme.  My daughter is very gifted in the ART department, as well as in the decorating and party throwing department.  She decorated the entire yard like a Carnival, complete with face painting, a giant bouncy toy for the kids to get inside, toss the rings game, kissing booth and a clown photo booth. She had painted numerous Carnival signs and banners to be used that day.  The grown-ups  told her that it was the best party that they had been to and that she should "go in the business".  She had tables plied with all types of "Carnival Junk" to eat, including corn dogs, salt water taffy, animal crackers, boxes of  popcorn,  peanuts, individual bags of cotton candy and tables and tables of candy everywhere. There was lemonade, juice boxes, ice pops and bottles of water to quench the thirst that the hot day brought on.  Each child had a "goody bag" to take home. The kids also got to decorate a small gift bag to hold all their "loot" from playing games.   She baked cup cakes and decorated them with marsh mellows on top to resemble bags of popcorn.  It took a long, long time to hand cut ALL those tiny marsh mellows with X marks to look like popcorn. She pulled it off though.  What a Mom she is!  She set up for most of it as well, with a little help from her husband.  The tables that she borrowed, were much too heavy for her to pull up from a friend's basement, but, she did just that ~ by herself  ~ much to my chagrin.  After staying up till about 3am for two nights in a row, the party day finally arrived.  Up a ladder ~ up and down, I should say ~ about 100 times, so I was told, to make sure the banners were hung the way she wanted them to hang!  Then came 2:00pm ~ Party Time ~ was on.  She kept the kids organized with the games (with some help from some of her friends), kept the food supplied on the table, and made trips down to the basement to garner more water bottles for thirsty dry throats.  She made everything SO VERY SPECIAL for my precious G-BABY ~ a birthday party soon not to be forgotten, for sure.  G-Baby assured me that it was a WONDERFUL party and that she was very HAPPY.  She declared that she had the Best Mommy and that she had the best birthday party ~ Ever.  Yes, you do, G-BABY and yes, you did.  Your Mommy can throw some more party.   Happy Birthday, SWEET G-BABY of mine, Happy Birthday.  Until We Meet Again...
