Love Sake Prayer

O God, give me in my life the fruit of love.
Help me to love you so much that I will never forget
All that our have given me and all that you have
Done for me. Help me always to remember that
You gave me life and everything that makes life
Worth living, and that you gave me Jesus to be my
Friend, my example, my Master, and my Savior.
Help me to love my fellow-men so much that I will
No longer be selfish and self-centered, but that I will
Find the way to happiness in doing things for others.
This I ask for your love’s sake.
Amen

Steve brought this home from work...I though it was a good prayer to share

A Moment For A Life Time

Creation 2006

Beauty captured by just looking brings on a new meaning when captured by the heart and soul when you aren’t expecting it.

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
Hebrews 12:28

Ouch...

This is how we celebrated the beginning of Jamie's 16th Birthday Party on November 4! It looks like a right off. It will cost more to fix then it’s wroth so I guess we will be in the market to buy…yuk!
Jamie, his friend from Clearwater and I were in the van when it got smacked. The boys have checked out ok, but us older type don’t bounce like 16 year olds, we break! And that is a direct quote from my doctor. I have a couple weeks off work. I thought it might be nice, but it not, ask my husband.
Jamie did have a great party, even though he was late. It was nice having our family and friends together. Jamie enjoyed most of the night. I am not sure what bummed him out more the birthday movie (which I won’t mention it’s to embarrassing) or the accident.
I loved that van…

ROMANS 1:20

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Romans 1:20 (NIV)

Halloween Fun

Everyone but me dressed up for Halloween this year. That’s OK; I had fun dressing everyone up!

Jamie went with his 1:1 worker and another colleague as escaped convicts from the lonnie bin. They went to Fright Night at the PNE. They weren’t many people dressed up but they got their pictures taken from a lot strangers. Jamie said he could have made some big money if he charged them. The haunted house was not too scary so they decided to scare the scarers. And they did! Jamie also warned me to never eat a chicken burger before goring on freaky rides.

Jessie dressed up for work as a 80's disco chick. Did we really do that! She so cute!

Steve was a "Puck Head". He said that is the only time anyone could call him that! He had some people really going, it looked real from a distance. Steve had a fun time with it.

A New Blogger

I finally did it. I am officially a blogger. I've been wanting to do this for a while but didn't know what to do. I think I will still need help. I haven't been able to make the changes I would like to the way it looks. I am so not computer Savoy! I hope this has spell check. Till next time.
