OH OUCH..I am so sorry about your granddaughter..Prayers for healing.
We need a Widdle Brae picture!

[luvie]

LOL! They were named for my favorite Republic of Tea flavor...Ginger Peach!

They are pretty cute...and soooo mischievious!

[jaycee]

This is Widdle, my oldest son Greg, and Addyson.
This was Halloween and Widdle was a Fairy Princess
and Addyson was the Queen of Hearts. When they knocked
on my door, they looked so cute.
I will send a better one of Widdle tomorrow!
Notice Greg's emblem on his shirt
It looked as if it was on Brae's head...LOL!

[MEG33]

How sweet! What pretty girls! Nice balance to my all boy grandsons and great grandsons.
I love it when you post pictures.

[jaycee]

Isn't it fun to be little and really
enjoy eating ice cream and showing off too?
Look at that mouth!!

[jaycee]

Meg, since I had two sons, I was so thrilled when I finally had some girls in the family! I couldn’t wait to buy little girls dresses and dolls, etc. All of my life, I had bought trucks, tractors, guns and holsters so the girls were great for me....LOL!

I’m so glad you enjoy my pictures...I’ll do more!!

[MEG33]

I know what you mean..LOL

I miss seeing your pictures... so good!

[MEG33]

How cute!

[oldteen]

Not much fun when you’re both feeling miserable. Be sure and drink plenty of fluids and get lots of rest! :)

[oldteen]

Did the doc give you promethazine w/ codeine? That stuff will take the pain away, suppress any cough, and put you to sleep...lol. Good thing to have around. Keep it refrigerated and it lasts a lot longer. (IF that's what you were given!)

Drink your fluids and REST a lot as well! :)

When Fear Creeps In
November 25, 2012

When my daughter exclaimed, “Mommy, a bug!” I looked where she was pointing and saw the largest spider I have ever encountered outside of a pet shop. Both the spider and I knew that he would not be allowed to stay in our house. And yet, as I faced him, I found I could not take one step closer to end the standoff. My pulse quickened. I swallowed and gave myself a pep-talk. Still, fear kept me frozen in place.

Fear is powerful; it can override logical thinking and produce irrational behavior. Thankfully, Christians don’t have to let fear of anything—people, situations, or even spiders—rule our actions. We can declare, “Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in [God]” (Ps. 56:3).

Taking this stand against fear is consistent with the Bible’s instruction to “trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding” (Prov. 3:5). Our own understanding may lead us to overestimate the object of our fear and underestimate God’s power. When we are afraid, we can depend on God’s understanding (Isa. 40:28) and trust in His love for us that “casts out fear” (1 John 4:18). The next time fear creeps into your life, don’t panic. God can be trusted in the darkness.

Into His hands I lay the fears that haunt me,
The dread of future ills that may befall;
Into His hands I lay the doubts that taunt me,
And rest securely, trusting Him for all. —Christiansen

Trusting God’s faithfulness dispels our fearfulness.

Read: Psalm 56

Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in [God]. —Psalm 56:3

Bible in a Year:
1 Corinthians 9-12

Good Morning

"Into His hands I lay the fears that haunt me,
The dread of future ills that may befall;
Into His hands I lay the doubts that taunt me,
And rest securely, trusting Him for all.
—Christiansen"
