Gratitude

(Sophie's thank you note!)

Thinking of who I was before Christ saved me,
reminds me of the beauty of salvation.

Desiring a life filled with graciousness because of the grace shown to me!

Colossians 1:6
(The Message)

The Message is as true among you today as when you first heard it. It doesn't diminish or weaken over time. It's the same all over the world. The Message bears fruit and gets larger and stronger, just as it has in you. From the very first day you heard and recognized the truth of what God is doing, you've been hungry for more.

Right Now

I am listening to

the sound of rain,

drawers being pulled out and pushed in,
(hope Chloe and Sawyer are putting clothes away!! There's always hope!)

Sophie snoring

and my favorite radio station.

I see much that needs to be accomplished

and am asking God for help.

Prayers for a great Monday!

While I was Without INTERNET...

Sophie turned 3!!

I will post pictures soon of sweet Sophie.

We have had no phone or internet for

5 days!

The phone I did not miss, but the internet??

You betcha!

I felt so out of touch.


Finally the problem has been solved and we are back online.

I will catch up with everyone soon.

Have an incredibly joyful weekend!

Unwrapping God's Word

I love this song!

I love Andrea Bocelli's voice!

Don't you?

God's word is powerful and amazing.

According to one of the songs my children listens to in the car,

"God's word
will surprise you!

God's word is exciting.

Read it now and your life will change,

Oh, how your life will change!!"

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Unwrapping the gift of God's word today
with
Emily at Chatting at the Sky!

Read it today!!

SAM I AM

My friend Sam is in the hospital.

He needs your prayers.

He will be celebrating his birthday this Thursday and he

desperately wants to go home so he can party with his family.

Will you please join me in storming the gates of heaven on his behalf?

Let's pray that his blood counts will be where they need to be so he is able

to be discharged in time to CELEBRATE.

As his mother said today,

"GROW CELLS, GROW!!!!"

Thank you my bloggy friends!

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
Ephesians 3:20
