A Slice of Life


Couldn't resist the chance to introduce you to Daniel. RJ2 brought him home from Kindergarten yesterday. Isn't he adorable? (I'm not sure how he survived the bus ride here.)

Daniel has very dancin' legs! And look at that smile!! Of course, he is standing next to a cookie jar! Daniel's complexion has a few rough patches, but that means someone is eating apples, so that's OK. He's obviously not bothered by it. His head does fall off occasionally, which can't feel very good.

Daniel joined us for afternoon snack. (Gulp! Try not to picture it!!) Later, RJ2 wanted him to listen to "Playhouse Disney" shows on the computer, and I suggested he could hear just fine from the kitchen table (even lying down). I was very relieved to hear RJ2 say, on her way to get washed up, that "Daniel doesn't go in the shower."

I suspect Daniel will look a little...more mature?...as the days go on. I hope he continues to have that smile, even if life takes a nibble out of him.

There's a thought for today....

I know many of you are waiting for the Winter Wonderland Celebration post. It's in the works...might even be a movie! With craft directions!!

How cute!

Looks like Daniel has been through a few trials in his day. He looks like a survivor.

I hope he handles the aging process with grace. Some of us have a harder time with it than others. :)

On this Merry Christmas Night....

Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans. Even in our peaceful approach to Christmas, that seat of rest may be vacant. But the opportunity to "Be still...." doesn't always lie in a cozy sea

When I was 45....

I t was a very good year! (Yep, celebrating again! I hijacked my own blog--LOL!) The glass is half full, and things have never looked more browniful! Awesome day on tap.... sunshine, take-out barbecue for dinner, cake.... Thanks for celebrating with me! Enjoy.... ( Let it rise....One of my all-time favorite praise songs! )

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that
