Guess who came to visit Poppa and Nana? Guess who is all grown up now, takes her own shoes off, goes shopping with Momma, is speaking in sentences, has gotten Poppa wrapped - again!?!?!?

It is amazing how much a toddler can change in a mere week. But you know what? The little ones are resilient, and it's almost as if she hadn't left. And from what I understand, she's just as happy with her other grandparents.

For those of you who may be away from your babies, don't worry. They're going to remember you, and things are going to be okay when you get home!

I remember when the Canteen was waiting word on Piper's birth!

Look at her now.

Seems just like yesterday.

[uncleshag]

Our Creator

Read:
Genesis 1

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. -Genesis 1:1

Bible In One Year: Numbers 34-36

The Bible's first chapter addresses the most fundamental issues of life. It declares that God brought all things into existence. This should affect the way we live.

The writer of Genesis made the radical declaration that there is one God. That truth stood in sharp contrast to the polytheism and idolatry of the ancient world. The description of each creation day denounced the various gods worshiped by the pagans of Moses' day and declared that they were not gods at all-just creations of the one and only true and living God.

On day 1, gods of light and darkness are dismissed; day 2, gods of sea and sky; day 3, gods of earth and vegetation; day 4, sun, moon, and star gods; days 5 and 6, animal gods. And finally, humans. Even though all people are granted a divine likeness, they too are only created beings and must never be worshiped.

This account gives the foundation for Israel's covenant with God. For example, why do the Ten Commandments prohibit the worship of other gods? Because God alone is the maker of heaven and earth. Why is murder wrong? Because human beings are created in God's image.

Let's make it our goal to get to know the true and living God. -Haddon Robinson

So many gods have all come and gone,
Gods of earth, of sky, and of sea;
But God the Creator alone will stand
Tests of time and eternity. -Carbaugh

In the beginning-God.

Thank you, Poppa, for Piper's update. Piper, look at you, untying your shoe laces and taking your shoes off. What a help you are to Momma and Daddy. LOL! And did you get a hair cut?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Evening Your Honor!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
