Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who makes the strom clouds. He gives showers of rain to men and plandts of the field to everyone. Zechariah 10:1 NIV


Today, Lord, I am so very thankful for all the wonderful things you have created especially

glorious sunshine that seeps into my soul and warms me from within

a handshake and a smile and a "Let me think about it and get back to you" from my pastor

clean rooms even if it did take them all day, but there was no yelling:)

wind to dry my clothing on the line

the hint of a full summer

a wedding weekend, the first of a couple in the family this spring

a happy family now that the sun is up and the grass is green again

music that blares from the kitchen cd player while we do the dishes together

little ones drying dishes

trying to find shorts and flip flops again

the sound of a lawnmower and a tiller


Amen, and thank you Lord for all you have done...

swimming

couldn't hear the sermon today because this was swimming around in my head....

God does not respond to what we do; we respond to what God does. We've finally figured it out. Our lives get in step with God and all others by letting Him set the pace not by proudly or anxiously trying to run the parade. Romans 3:27-28 MSG

EE Hunt, April 2010

I think that Scotland does such a great job of celebrating community for Easter. The local retirement home dyes hundreds of eggs and then leads a group egg hunt by dividing the kids up into age groups. Each child gets $2 of Bunny Money to spend at any business in Scotland. Then if you find the "golden" egg you get an extra $5 to spend. My kids bought ice cream bars and popcicles with their bunny cash. They had a ton of fun :)

After a few weeks hiatus, I am back in the saddle:) Thanks for not scolding me...

He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up. 1 Thessalonians 5:10-11
