Thanks, LTOS.

WE are enjoying Buddy and Max seems to be happy with him also. :)

[JustAmy]

Thank you.

He has already brought lots of smiles and fun to our household.

I think he is exhausted tonight.

[JustAmy]

We had a very busy day, Meg.

The first pictures I took were so blurry that all you could tell was that it was a dog. LOL

WE are all happy to welcome him into our family. Well .... Jr’s Sissy isn’t too sure what to think of him. :)

[MEG33]

Every day with a puppy will be busy! I wouldn’t worry about Sissy..If they are uncomfortable , kitties move and hide..It will take time.
Buddy is a beautiful puppy!What fun!

[MEG33]

Kitty took a nap..so comfortable in that big chair...

What a climb! It would make me nervous to see, too!
My kitties are my first indoor only kitties..It doesn’t seem normal ..but they seem to have adjusted well.

Looking And Learning
January 30, 2011

As an umpire stood behind the plate at a girls’ softball game, he heard a player’s mother start chanting: “We want a new ump! We want a new ump!” Soon, other parents took up the chant. The ump smiled, then turned toward the crowd and yelled, “I want new parents! I want new parents!” The heckling died away.

It’s important for parents to set a good example, because their children are watching them. Christian parents can encourage good habits and behavior by doing things like:

• Praying for and with them—so they learn how to talk with God. “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it” (Col. 4:2).

• Reading and teaching them the Bible—so they learn God’s truth. “Teach [God’s commands] diligently to your children, . . . talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up” (Deut. 6:7).

• Telling them about Jesus—and leading them to faith in Him. “Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3).

The best way to set a good example for our children is to live out our faith in front of them. While they’re looking—they’re learning about what matters most.

Take stock of yourself and consider your child—
Your time and your thoughts are his due;
How would you reply to the Lord should He ask,
“What kind of parent are you?” —Anon.

Children may not inherit their parents’ talent,
but they will absorb their values.

Read: Deut. 11:18-21

Train up a child in the way he should go. —Proverbs 22:6

Bible in a year:
Exodus 23-24; Matthew 20:1-16

~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
14. if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will
forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Blessings To All Who Enter Here

Irish Blessing

May there always be work for your hands to do.
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine on your windowpane.
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
