When a la carte becomes an art


Miss "Mix and Match"
More socks to snatch

From the drawer
You must pull FOUR?!

Did only two
Just make you blue

That now four
Is what you adore?

For feet, it's clear
But why hands, my dear?

Her smile and dance tell me she's smitten
With her new fashion look--the summertime mitten.

OK with me, but just once more
Why, also, the colors be four?

What could be left
To match in her drawer?

Quoth Daughter #2,
"Nothingmore!"

HA! Funny. When I first saw the picture I thought that was a cast on her arm and saw her on the trampoline! Glad to see no broken bones, however, there are still 76 days to go!!
Happy Day!

I wonder if ADHDME realizes that D2 has already had a cast (or 2...or3), and certainly doesn't need another. Perhaps the socks remind her of her cast. Or maybe a sock puppet! Or maybe its just FUN!

You're a poet - I didn't knowit!

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...
