A Child's Wonder

"Finding ways to encourage children's love for learning while establishing them in the Faith is an important investment in the future." by Dennis Fisher

Our children are a gift from GOD
On loan from Heaven above,
To train and nourish in the LORD,
And show to them HIS Love.--Sper

We shape tomorrow's world by what we teach our children today.

All quotes taken from Our Daily Bread for today. Wow, what a gift GOD has bestowed upon us. How are you making a difference in the world of tomorrow?

It seems....

like "when it rains, it pours"...that is the slogan for the salt company that bears my last name, but seems to be sooo true in my life at different times. Right now is feeling like one of those times again.

It just seem likes one thing after another with my car. And then....well, just so much more.

However, recently I have been told that I thrive on this kind of pouring down and make opportunities for it. Maybe so.

Maybe it is because when my life feels like it has drama, excitement, adventure in it, I feel like people care and this life doesn't seem so lonely.

Either way, my last name is still linked to the slogan "when it rains, it pours"...

What I would really like would be to have a quiet, simple life where the only things that poured anywhere were the things of GOD.

May Day

I remember as a kid getting a paper cups and turning them into a basket and then filling them with goodies. Goodies like popcorn and candy. After making these paper cups into baskets, which we called "May Baskets", we would then go and leave them on our neighbor's front step.

I don't know what has happened in my life to recall that memory, but it did remind me that we always did this on May Day and that May Day is May 1st, which is today. I wish I could leave you all May Baskets on your front porch, but since I can't let me share this about Spring with you:

SPRINGTIME (by A.J. Russell in "God Calling")
"Rejoice in the Springtime of the year. Let there be Springtime in your hearts. The full time of fruit is not yet but there is the promise of the blossom. Know surely that your lives too are full of glad promise. Such blessings are to be yours. Such joys, such wonders. All is indeed well. Live in My Sunshine and My Love."

This also happens to be the first Thursday in May which has become known as the National Day of Prayer. SO I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW, HOW I CAN PRAY FOR YOU? As well as, challenge you to pray for others.

"Embrace your smaller world through earnest prayer as you consider lost individuals in your family, neighborhood, and workplace. Then,as you seek to live and give the good news, expect God to open doors of opportunity."
-Joanie Yoder (from Our Daily Bread).
