We had quite the week-end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I arrived the day before the new baby was to come to help with getting the two little sisters to the hospital for the scheduled early-morning birth. It was such a joy to be in the middle of such a happy event.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We decided to stay in a hotel across from the hospital to save time in the morning traffic since we needed to be at the hospital so early. Scott's parents and I divided up the girls and I got to keep this sweet baby with me for the night! I just kept wondering what was going through her little mind about what was going to be happening tomorrow! We were all pretty excited!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Scott got "suited up" and was waiting to be called back to get ready for the baby's delivery. Let me just tell you now how proud I am of the sweet man and loving Daddy that he is to my grand girls! They love their Daddy and he loves taking care of them. He has a calm disposition which works well with his three girls! Now we will see how he does with a son!!</span></div>

Scott's parents are spending the first week to help Kelly get the girls to school since Scott goes in to work so early every morning. She can't drive for two weeks so I am on duty the next week and I can hardly wait!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As many of you already know, Hubs has been on a trip for the past seventeen days to India and Nepal teaching native pastors. I was to pick him up Saturday afternoon at the airport the day after Will Holden was born. So I woke up Saturday morning by text on my phone asking me about Steve and if he escaped the earthquake in Nepal.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At first I didn't even know what they were talking about because I didn't have the TV news on nor had I fired up my computer. I just was in unbelief when I heard the news. BUT because I know God was watching over him, he had left Nepal hours before the earthquake. I can't begin to tell you how my heart was so very thankful!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Please remember to pray for those who lost so much in Nepal. All of Steve's students were safe but sleeping in the streets, so afraid of sleeping inside of the buildings. Pray for their immediate needs just to live will be met.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is a picture I made at sunset the other evening in our front yard. Reminds me of a scripture in Psalms:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No real reason I stopped other than I just took a "little break" and nearly a year has passed! Mother always told me the older you get the faster the time flies and you know, she was right!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought I might do a little recap of what has happened in my life this past year but then that might put you to sleep! zzzz......zzzz</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have had times of loss of loved ones, friends, but also new lives begun! Our church added a new building and we feel so blessed to be a part of that! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The real reason I decided to start blogging again, at least for the next few months, is that we are getting ready to have a new family member and I did want to document his arrival as I did my three granddaughters in the past!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I didn't want him to ever read his 'ole Nonny's blog someday and see that nothing was written about him.....our first grandson!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hubs is currently on a teaching ministry trip to India and Nepal. This,in fact, is the reason I have time to actually sit down and think about blogging again. He will be gone a total of seventeen days. Some people ask me what I do while he is gone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Actually some very exciting things come to mind:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Trying to catch up on some household chores I have been neglecting has kept me busy this past week! Funny how I am perfectly happy to let things go when I am on the run but now with extra time, I've started noticing stacks of things that needed to be done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also when Hubs is not here, the little cooking that I do goes to practically zippo!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why cook for one? There are some "fairly" good frozen "dinners" ( and I use that term loosely!) out there. I had a Chili's Tex-Mex bowl "thingee" from the frozen foods department that was quite tasty! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had one time conflict after another but finally set the date about three weeks before the baby was expected.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, the Stork was on a different time-table and arrived the Saturday before our little get-together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The mother had a C-section and did well! I figured she would not be able to come but we decided to go ahead with our plans and take her presents to her later. But, she came and brought her darling new baby boy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just wanted to post this event so I would not forget the celebration of a precious new life and how much I love each of these young women who attend our class! Each one of them is such a blessing to me. They make me be excited for the future of our church knowing what wonderful Christian women they are!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the past they have come one at a time or I keep one and the other set of grandparents keep the other. But now that Hollis has turned three and actually sleeps through the night, I've gotten very brave and ask to have them both!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Great idea!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You couldn't ask for any better little girls (OK, I am somewhat prejudice, but trust me, they are good and sweet)!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So this is just a blog for myself to help me remember a few of the things we did this week. I will look back at this maybe in a couple of years and fondly remember how sweet they were at this age and that they ACTUALLY loved to come to stay at Nonny and Papa's house!!</span></div>

Back in the day if you were scheduled for a C-Section, as I was, you checked in the night before so they could get you ready. And you stayed a week after! (Insurance was a different game then)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had gone to the beauty shop and had my hair done; my parents had come to take care of Kelly and we were ready to have the new baby! We did not know whether we were having a boy or a girl!(no sonograms to determine the sex as today's practice)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I remember waking up and Hubs standing over me saying, "It's a BOY" and I just cried and cried......for joy! We had a beautiful little girl and now a sweet baby boy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And what a joy he has been!</span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;">Kelly's Korner </span>is having Awkward Family Photo Day and I thought that would be something that I could participate in since I have tons of VERY awkward family photos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kelly will probably look at these and wish she had thought of some other subject for today!! Sorry!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my eyes, the kids always looked cute. I was always the awkward one! I had spiral perms, huge glasses and weighed about 10 more pounds than I do now in most pictures. Who in their right mind thought huge glasses were fashionable?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These pictures are self-explanatory. Enjoy! And let's see some of your old pictures!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every year Hubs and I look forward to spending a few days in Florida at a pastor's conference. I'm not sure what people think pastors do at a conference but mostly it is listening to some wonderful preaching and great music!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is where the preacher gets preached to!! We start around 9:00 a.m. and finish around 9:00 p.m. We absolutely love it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We drove down a couple of days before the conference and stayed at Destin. We love it this time of the year because it is somewhat desolate and we pretty much have the beach to ourselves. No, we don't swim or sun ourselves! Just a walk on the beach together is our cup of tea!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The tables are always so pretty with fresh flowers and gold orangza bows tied on the chairs. Reminds me of being at a fancy wedding reception! The food was delicious and we got gift bags with books (yea!) and a necklace from Premier Jewelry. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We heard many great pastors preach. We were convicted, up-lifted, encouraged and filled with joy by all of them! On Sunday evening Tim Tebow preached to thousands crowded into the sanctuary to hear him. Although he is not a "preacher", he delivered a great message. He loves the Lord and is very humble when speaking about how the Lord has been working in his life. It was a great way to end our conference.</span></div>

I love my kitchen and my cabinets but really wanted a change.</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have read so many decor blogs, made my Pinterest collection of kitchens and finally decided to carry through with my thoughts on going white!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My cabinets are maple and are custom cabinets. I was having a little water damage on one side of the built-in dishwasher where apparently I sling water when I am at the sink. I knew we would eventually have to do something to repair the water spots. Also all my woodwork and crown moulding is white and I thought it would be an updated look to have them all the same.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who knows how things will turn out. It's kind of scary to change things up after many years….especially important and expensive things like your kitchen cabinets.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It took two painters approximately 4 days to paint the kitchen. They took all the drawers and cabinet doors to their workshop to spray and hand painted the rest at my house. </span></div>

Nothing is wrong other than I was not motivated enough to sit down and write about the probably very non-interesting things in my life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BUT…..today is different!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I could not let this day go by without remembering back forty (Is that right? How could that possibly be right?) years ago today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">December 22, 1973 was the day that changed my life from a young woman to someone's mother!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kelly was our first baby and she was born to very inexperienced parents for sure. I didn't know anything about "birthin' babies" nor had I been around babies much. I never baby-sat when I was growing up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So Kelly was raised by much love and very little experience. She got those long naps, rocked for hours and ridden around Dallas in the car in the wee hours of the morning to get her to sleep, rice cereal that was too runny and too many Cheerios at one sitting. But, boy, was she loved!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And still is to this very day!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kelly, You are an awesome woman and we are so very proud of you!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been said that you will never know the results of your parenting until you see your children's children raised.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You are doing a great job being our grandchildren's mother!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Forty Kelly! You wear it well!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cross-stitched this when I was twenty-five years old for my parents. They were about to become grandparents for the first time and I thought this little saying was apropos for the coming event. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So now, forty years later, it hangs in my upstairs guest room that also houses my "baby things" (baby bed, rocker, little Tyke car, tricycle, toys, etc.). It was one of the things I kept from my parents' house after they had both passed away. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am certainly finding out that the little, maybe trite, saying is certainly true.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I haven't blog lately but I did want to write a post about the fun week we had with our oldest granddaughter last week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had been trying to find a time to have her come and stay all summer. But there was always something coming up to prevent it. We have had a busy summer and her parents are busy also, so it just hadn't happened.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I finally found a few days that we could all make connections and this girl was ours for a few fun days! </span><br />

As a grandmother who is feeling the "where-did-my-energy-go?" part of life, this age child is not as hard to keep up with as a two or three year old! (Although I did keep my one-year-old baby girl for a week in July and did fine!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would have loved to have Harper's little sister also but I have not ventured with two of them at one time. Hollis is precious and I am planning on keeping her by herself soon. I don't think you can get to know your grandchildren's personality unless you keep them yourself. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So this little post is about our week. It may be of non-interest to you but as I said before, I wanted to make a post to remember this special time with her at this marvelous special age!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Harper is a dog-lover. She never fails to ask about our two dogs when we talk on the phone and she always remembers them when she prays! ( I love that! I don't even care that Nonny/Papa's names are called AFTER the dogs!) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She spent so much of her time outside on the porch with our golden lab, Bobber. She would just sit and "talk" to him.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She like to sit out on the porch in the rocker early in the morning and watch a movie. She DOES have a blanket. It was in the 50's! Such a mild summer we have had!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She still had her PJ's on because it was early in the morning and she couldn't wait to get outside and ride! Who am I to say "no"? I love to get outside early in the morning in my PJ's too. (We do not have any close neighbors by the way!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We also did some more "cultured" things: we drew pictures, colored, water-colored and blew bubbles! (very creative)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We also went to the movies (3-D of course) to see "Planes" and ate Chinese.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got so tickled at the Chinese restaurant after we ate. The waitress brought us our bill and our fortune cookies. Harper opened her little cookie and ask me what it said. I told her it said "Harper is a wonderful sweet little girl." She took that little bitty piece of paper and rolled it up and put it in her new Hello Kitty purse her Aunt Linda gave her and took it with her wherever she went! I hope she never discovers that it said anything otherwise!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had planned this trip for some time with my sister, Linda, coming along for the tour. She is a walking history book (a history teacher) and gave many insights to the landmarks we visited.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our first stop was Charleston, South Carolina, where we toured many historical homes. I'll not give you the whole "lecture" on each home but just show you some pictures of the sights we saw!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was the John Calhoun house. Such a beautiful house on the outside but we were terribly disappointed about the inside. Apparently the present owner lives there part of the time and is a collector of all kinds of artifacts and art. The house was filled with so many "what-nots" that to me it took away from the beauty of the period of the house. Wild-looking....not tastefully done from my perspective. Others may love it but I thought it was "tacky". Plus, it cost more than all the other historical homes to visit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ruth Bell Graham is buried on the property. She had the most simple flat stone marker that simply said her name and this: " End of construction. Thank you for your patience." She had quite the sense of humor. But, to think of it, that describes the end of life, doesn't it?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After we left Charlotte, we headed for Tennessee. We drove through Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and had planned to stop and visit. The traffic was so bad that we decided we weren't interested in shows, miniature golf or shopping so that left us with eating and moving on. We were there less than 2 hours!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Out of all the historical homes we visited, The Hermitage was one that I would have loved to live in, well, providing someone would build a modern bathroom near the bedrooms!

She has been gone for seven years now and there are very few days in a week that go by that I don't think of her in some way.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">People say you ALWAYS miss your Mama when she's gone and I am believing that to be the truth. So much I would love to still share with her...especially the three beautiful great grand-daughters she has. She would LOVE them so much!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mother was the original "<span style="background-color: cyan;">Kelly</span>" in the fact that she had two little girls she dressed exactly alike and put bows in their hair. My sister and I were only 15 months apart and everyone thought we were twins. </span></div>

Even our little "saddle shoes" matched. I noticed in this picture that I had a watch on or maybe a bracelet. Probably a watch because I am a little OCD about being punctual! I still have my first Cinderella watch as a matter of fact! I could probably be on an episode of "Hoarders"!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She loved us and we never wanted for anything. We weren't rich but we never went without. She sacrificed many things for our sakes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She is the one who taught me the love of your own children!</span></div>

Maybe later.<br />
<br />
But when I saw <a href="http://kellyskornerblog.com/">Kelly's SUYL</a> topic this little book popped into my memory.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can't tell you the hours I sat with my son Chris reading these Richard Scarry books. They are delightful and my heart just leaps everytime I see this cover. Isn't that crazy after all these years?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But, guess what? I STILL have this book and I got it out and read it to Harper when we kept her a couple of weeks ago. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now I can't wait to read it to Chris' little girl!!</span></div>

It takes me days to get my house back in order after a long trip and I am getting slower all the time!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had the neatest gift sent to me just before I left on my trip that I wanted to share with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two of the sweetest girls from Tennessee, Trisha and Missy, who have a custom photo pendants and charms business, wrote me and ask if they could make me a pendant. I have had people approach me before and want me to advertise their things on my blog but have never accepted any of them after checking them out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, after reading Trisha and Missy's site, I was impressed with them and decided I would love to show all of my readers what a neat product they make. Go to <b><a href="http://www.sassyandsouthern.com/">sassyandsouthern </a></b>and check them out! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a picture of me just before I went out the door with my new pendant of my three beautiful granddaughters! Their names and birthdays are on the back. They can put pictures, Bible verses, dates or anything you like on the pendant. I will be looking for a new chain for mine soon but you can also attach the pendant to a string of pearls or whatever you have!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This would make a great Baby gift for a new mother (or a wonderful gift for an old Nonny like me with the grands)! A couples picture for a Valentine's gift or a wedding picture with the date on the back sounds so sweet!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So go over and give Sassy and Southern a look and tell them I sent you!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our first stop on our trip was a quick trip to Dallas for a little family gathering to honor our newest grand baby. Since my children do not want pictures of her on the internet I have a limited amount of pictures to show!! Nearly every picture I made had her in it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love this picture. Since the parents wanted pictures of everyone with the baby, son Chris set up his "Sears Portrait Studio" and I took this picture of everyone trying to get the baby's attention as pictures were being made!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Destin is a great place for a vacation but of course, it is the "off-season" and the beaches were vacant! We had the whole beach to ourselves for a nice walk. It was also our 42nd wedding anniversary so that made it a special time for us to have some quiet time alone!</span></div>

The FBC choir and orchestra and all the special music was just great. Travis Cottrell was leading the worship music and all you Beth Moore girls know who he is. I did get a chance to say "Hello" to him and he was very gracious to take time to talk to an old lady admirer of his!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the highlights this year for me was the pastors' wives luncheon with guest speaker, Pam Tebow. Of course, every one knows her as Tim Tebow's mother but she spoke very little about him actually. She was a beautiful, soft-spoken woman who spoke about how God has lead her to raise her children in His Word.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She spoke about the importance of having children memorize scriptures and how that Word is embedded into their minds and hearts and stays with them their whole life. This is so true and the main reason for having programs for children in our churches to teach them to hide scripture in their hearts.</span></div>

I can remember doing it when I was very young at my home. When I was first married and very young(and still strong), I would move the furniture so much that when Hubs would come home from work he might think he was in the wrong house.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But the last few years have been different. I just don't have the strength (or the "want to" if the truth be known) to surprise Hubs with a completely rearranged house when he gets home. Now I have to wait for him to help me!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After Christmas it took me days to take down my decorations. I didn't have that much but I had many short diversions to focus on elsewhere. Then I got it in my mind it was high time to move a few pieces just to make things interesting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here are the results. I forgot to take "Before" shots but here's what I did.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had these two big club chairs in my living room and we really never sat on them. I have a bay window in my kitchen and we kept a small table and chairs there but never really use them. We eat all our meals on our island. We also have a TV built in the cabinets where we watch the morning and evening news.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We don't have a TV in the living room. So I decided to move the table upstairs to our bonus room over the garage and put the club chairs in the kitchen where we could actually sit down comfortably and read or watch the news!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now my living room is more open to the kitchen and the rooms feel much larger.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I took the chairs that went with the table in the kitchen and moved them in my dining room and moved some of those wooden dining chairs upstairs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not sure how this looks to you but I like the parsons chairs in the dining room!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my bedroom is a matching bay window like the one in the kitchen. I have a small loveseat in that bay window where I sit every morning and read my Bible, write my list of prayer concerns, read my Beth Moore devotions and also read my Jesus Calling daily.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I keep so many little books and two Bibles on that little couch that often there is no place to sit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you know about this little book? I got it last year in the middle of the year and it has been one of the most delightful tools in learning more about just how Jesus speaks to me. I just have been so inspired by reading a small paragraph from it each day after my morning time in God's Word.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just wanted to share today's message. It spoke to me so much about how I needed to take the time to let God speak to me. My mind is always going in hundreds of directions, whether it be insignificant, like taking one load of laundry out of the washer and put in the dryer, or needing to get ready to go somewhere or thinking what I need to be doing for a church member in need.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today's message just spoke to me. Maybe it will you too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Relax in My Healing Presence. As you spend time with Me, your thoughts tend to jump ahead to today's plans and problems. Bring your mind back to Me for refreshment and renewal. Let the Light of My Presence soak into you, as you focus your thoughts on Me. Thus I equip you to face whatever the day brings."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(And here is the sentence that jumped off the page to me this morning:)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"THIS SACRIFICE OF TIME PLEASES ME AND STRENGTHENS YOU."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Do not skimp on our time together. Resist the clamor of tasks waiting to be done. You have chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from you."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Based on Psalm 105:4 and Luke 10: 39-42</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lord, let me learn to spend quality time with you because I certainly need your strength today and the days ahead in this new year. Amen!</span>His Doorkeeperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14681568647223880627noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008040236442260667.post-62173758845397795262012-12-29T12:38:00.000-08:002012-12-29T12:38:27.947-08:00New Set of Wheels<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Something about this picture just warms my heart. Baby trying out her new bicycle and Papa spending time to make sure she is doing good.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Papa said he teared up when they were outside and Harper says, "Shhhh, Papa, listen to that." She was hearing the birds chirp! So thankful with her "ears" and her being able to hear well enough to hear the birds in the trees around her. We are so grateful to the Lord!</span></div>

Thanksgiving has come and gone and I haven't written anything. I started blogging to help me keep up with my life since I am beginning not to remember things daily! Can anyone say, "Senior Moments"?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I am starting fresh today and think I will try and post just a couple of pictures of our Christmas with the kids. We had Thanksgiving with our son and family and Christmas with our daughter and family. One day we will all get together!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did want to post a few pictures of our Young Adults Bible study group who came to our house for our annual Christmas get-together. They are the sweetest group and we played games, ate (of course!!) , made Christmas ornaments and just enjoyed being together!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's a few decorations this year! Remember the little red benches I bought when I was recouping from my foot surgery in September? I thought they looked very "Christmasy" for the front porch. I couldn't find any Christmas pillows I liked but I went to Goodwill and found two little red plaid pillows for $2 each that I put on each bench!</span></div>

It was a fairly long appointment and little sister needed some entertainment to keep her busy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Enter Papa and Nonny! I love the new part of Arkansas Children's Hospital. We had visited a couple of patients there a few weeks ago and it was our first time to visit the new addition. Very nice and roomy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We not only got to keep our Hollis busy but Hubs had a five year old boy named Shawn attach himself to his side and they played for a long time together! I think Shawn's mom was happy for Papa to take care of him for awhile!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After lunch we said our "good-byes" to Papa. He spent the night in Little Rock because he was leaving early the next morning for Nicaragua. There were others from our church who were joining him in Little Rock. There was a change in plans when the airline did a miscalculation but all was finally resolved.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He did end up spending eight hours in Houston but finally made it to his destination on Saturday night.</span></div>

This summer when I was in Dallas I went to IKEA and found her a new little set just for her to play with when she comes to Nonny's house. She was really enjoying serving "Tea"!</span></div>

I feel like I have been behind on everything since I had my foot surgery. I am doing much better...walking and wearing a regular shoe albeit one foot is a size 8 and the surgery foot is a size 10W!</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I still have swelling and it is still somewhat sore. But I am up and so happy to be driving and walking! But I can not seem to get caught up with all the things I let go while being down!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did want to do a post about several things that I did not want to forget. It is amazing how you can look back on past posts years ago and have completely forgotten about it! Also, I love to see how my family has changed as the girls continue to grow up!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">October was Pastor Appreciation Month and our church was so sweet to us. We got so many wonderful, sweet little gifts and cards with words of love and encouragement. I wish I could share with you all the sweet words. They mean so much to us! We love our church family!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of our favorites was cards from the little kids in our church from age 3 and up. I wanted to share a couple of them because they were so cute.</span></div>
