Fun with my little sister...
Today was a crazy day because I was in such a crazy mood! I'm telling you I was down right weird, but Anna and I sure had some great laughs! I needed it and I think she needed to see that I can still be crazy every now and then! and that we can still laugh together. That I'm not an old worn out shoe :-) even though somedays I feel like one! :-) Hahaha. On a more serious note...Anna, I did enjoy the day with you! and I can still see you sitting on a brownie! HAHAHAHAHA...
Folks, she really didn't sit on a brownie and my reference to it, I will in no way be able to explain! :-)

36 years!
Well, I can't believe that I'm 36 this year. 4 more years til I'm 40!! Yikes! Well, my consolation is that I don't feel one bit old! I plan on aging gracefully! no matter what age I'm saddled with :-)
I have so much to be thankful for!! God has blessed me so much that sometimes I tell Him that I feel like I'm one of His special children-that He shows me special favor. I know that's not true of course, but it is true that the Lord has blessed me abundantly. He's given me the love of a good man, 3 children that I love with all my heart, a little house, a cool car, good health, family, friends, etc. I don't deserve His goodness, but I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart for it!

Our Little Things
I love it when God shows you that He cares about the tinniest things that happen in my life!
That He really does care about the wedding bands you accidently flushed down the drain and I'll prove it-I'll let you find them again! This is story I heard tonight. That the town? flitered the drains and pawed through all the junk and found her rings! God protected those rings! They meant something to her! I love experiencing it in my life! I just love how GOD reminds me that I am before His eyes at all times, that everything I do is seen, everything that I say or think is heard and known and that He still cares about the littlest details of my life-that what concerns me concerns Him! Thank you Lord, for being such a kind and wonderful Heavenly Father!

The ALMIGHTY'S Shadow
Have you ever thought about what it means to be under the shadow of the Almighty?
Under the Almighty's shadow there is comfort in pain
There is peace in a storm
And a friend who never fails
Under the Almighty's shadow
There is peace that passes understanding
A refuge from trouble
And a shield from all harm
Under the Almighty's shadow
There is a haven of rest
A balm for the soul
A place of quiet and joy
Under the Almighty's shadow
There is mercy and grace
Undeserved and graciously given
Under the Almighty's shadow
There is complete forgiveness
Complete acceptance
And a place of belonging
Under the Almighty's shadow
There is the knowledge that
God is my protector
God is my comfort
God is my joy and peace
God is my healer
God is my Father
God is the ALMIGHTY, under whose shadow He has placed me---safely and forever.
