Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! 1 Chron 16:8.

A bone that bruised but did not break.  And a husband with the heart of a servant who washed hair, dressed and chauffeured . 

A job that encourages both analytical and creative thinking.

A magical boy with a mysterious scar that captures the love of people of all ages.

A little cowgirl, all in pink, learning the fun of Trick or Treat.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34

For a kind stranger who stopped and helped my husband when his breaks FAILED on his way to church Wednesday night.  Four hours later, he had repaired the breaks and sent my husband on his way. 

Twin boys, small but strong, born to parents who lost a baby boy just over a year ago. A little Ray of sunshine is keeping watch over them.

Doctors who care and are careful, mending a Memaw and keeping a constant watch over Constance.

Love languages

Hubs and I are going through Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages lessons with our small group from church. Hubs top language is Acts of Service, while mine is Words of Affirmation. We were challenged to try to speak our partner's "language" this week. It is obvious he is trying, and I am as well. Today I assisted him with a major home improvement project, then cleaned up the mess afterwords, and packed his lunch for tomorrow. I'm hoping to think of more creative ways to speak his language as the week progresses!

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. - Psalm 118:24

Acorns, some still green, crunching under boots.

For warm, sunny fall afternoons, perfect for playing outdoors.

Summer flowers still blooming: Snapdragons, and Hydrangea 

A little girl, just two and a half, who offers her momma a pillow, covers her with a blanket and rubs her back until momma falls asleep while watching the latest princess movie (10/5/2011).
