Monday Morning Question of the Day

My favorite Bible verse of all times- 
the one I consider my life verse
 is Jeremiah 29:11 which says.......


For I know the plans I have for you,
" declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, 
plans to give you hope and a future.


What is your favorite verse?

This has to be one of my all time favorite pictures of my precious mother. 

I love how happy she looked and although I can 

only guess as to the year it was taken 

(I'm guessing around 1972 or 1973 based on her hair)

 I love thinking of what might have made her so excited.  

I love and miss her every single day of my life

 and am thankful that since I can't see her smile in person, 

I have pictures like this to remind me of how beautiful she was!

Monday Morning Question of the Day

What food combination do you absolutely LOVE

but others find disgusting?

For me the answer has to be:

My mom's cornbread with Miracle Whip on it. 

My grandmother ate it that way. 

My mom ate it that way. 

I eat it that way. 

And everyone else thinks it is so strange. 

But don't knock it till you try it.

It is YUMMY!

This picture was taken one of the two times 

I can remember it actually snowing in Houston, Texas. 

Obviously we were THRILLED since this was 

the very first time we ever saw snow. 

You can tell by our lack of true winter clothes

 that this was truly abnormal weather. 

If I was a betting girl, I would bet that my sweet sister

 threw that snowball she was holding, 

not long after this picture was snapped. 

Since it's been over 100 degrees every day

 for several weeks in a row here, 

I'd pay money to see some of that cold weather!  

Week 33- Hiding God's Word in Your Heart

Monday Morning Question of the Day

Would you rather have to take a vow of silence for a year

or

have to go barefoot for a year? 

Just Think.....

This picture of Madison on her first day of preschool when

 she was four makes me smile.  

Could she be any cuter with that big old bow on her head? 

Could her smile be any larger? 

I think not.  

But when I think that in a little over a week that cute little 

bow-headed girl will be starting high school?

Oh my. 

It makes me want to cry. 

Big, ugly, snot-running-down-my-face, can't-catch-my-breath, tears.  

How did she grow up so quickly? 

Week 32- Hiding God's Word in Your Heart

I'm thinking she should be a lawyer......don't you?
