Sunday Scripture

From the rising of the sun to its going down. The Lord's name is to be praised.
Psalm 113:3

Family Fun In The Sun

Ahhh...the beach. It was a perfect day. Not too hot and not too cold, with the breeze kicking up I even wore a jacket for awhile. But nothing stopped those Grandbabies from heading to the water!


Elek loved the sand and sitting in the waters edge. We had to watch the boy because he kept trying to suck on the rocks...and everytime he would put one to his mouth we would hear him saying to himself..."Oh, no."


Let's eat...Maddy enjoying our picnic lunch. Give the gal a dill pickle and some chips and she's a happy little beach bum.


I even ventured down to the edge of the water with Kell and enjoyed the damp sand beneath my feet. It was such a relaxing pleasant time.


Can't leave the Waterloo Recreation Area without a stop in the park on the way back to the parking lot.


Headed for home, everyone happy and tired. All 5 of the Grandbabies were fast asleep in no time. What a glorious day!

Love to All!

Making Memories

Tomorrow morning..early. Tomer and I will be busy loading up the car with sand toys, row boats and a picnic basket full of goodies. Our girls and the grandbabies will be joining us on a little jaunt to Waterloo State Park for a little fun in the sun and sand. The kids love the beach, me...not so much. But, I will have my trusty book on hand, just in case I have time to get in a little reading.
The grandbabies, are excited. And a day spent with them, as my sweet Mom-in-law always said "is what makes life worth living."
Yes, tomorrow we will be busy making memories and when we are gone, they will remember...how very much we love them!

Love to All!

Tending God's Garden

Rainy San Francisco...Thomas Hawk's Digital Photoblog

They...the weathermen, are calling for rain. Doesn't mean that we will get any because it seems that most storms pass North of here. We could surely use it though, for it has been hot and muggy this past week. The sun intense and quickly wilting the plants if not frequently tended to.
So, our Spiritual Lives if we fail to give them proper attention. Tending to them by Praying, reading God's Word and being bathed by the Holy Spirit. Oh, physically we would survive spiritual drought...unlike plants that would surely die. But like those plants, we will wither up and become ugly versions of ourselves. When waiting on the One who created us makes all things beautiful.
We are God's garden and with roots firmly planted...we should bring forth fruit. Are you blooming where you are planted? Or are you just a thorny vine?

Love to all!
