Psalm 134

BEHOLD, bless the Lord,

All you servants of the Lord,
Who by night stand in the house of the Lord!
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary.,
And bless the Lord.
The Lord who made heaven and earth
Bless you from Zion.

Dear Lord,
Please bless America
and please open our eyes to all of the blessings that you have already given to us!

Wonderful Wednesday

Little C.R. at the Aquarium looking at the penguins.

On this Wednesday of late July we were blessed with being able to have an end of the Summer pool party then were able to eat out at CiCi's Pizza!!!! We had a blast! On the way there we ran into our youth Minister, Sunshine's Daddy and he came and ate lunch with us! We then came home and watched a good movie in the cozy living room!

Tonight I was able to go and work in the nursery with my Aunt Carol and Uncle Jr.! We had a blast! There were five boys, a three year old, two two year olds, a one year old and a four month old. We also had SunShine who is two! There were balls flying everywhere, playful screams, laughs and much more! We had our hands full but it is always such a blessing to see little ones who are happy and full of joy! I think seeing a little one does anyone good! I love how my Grandmother's face lights up when she sees a little one. It is so sweet. May we all follow her example and never take a little one for granted!

I hope that you had as blessed a day as I did, but, everyday is a blessing! May we never forget that!

God Bless, Joy.

Wonderful Wednesday

Today was another wonderful Wednesday!
I was blessed with being able to go to my grandmother's house!
It is so peaceful there!
I love Wednesdays and going to visit with my wonderful grandmother!
We talk, embroider pillow cases and watch "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire."
Today she wasn't able to go to church because her right knee has been bothering her and she is having a hard time walking.
Please keep her in your prayers that her right knee will get better.
But that will not stop her!
I think that is where we part of our stubborness from!
But if you met her you would never guess that she is STUBBORN!!!
But it is a quiet way and when she makes up her mind there is NO changing it!

Even though she didn't eat with me she got up and warmed me up some supper and sat and talked with me!
It was so wonderful!
She told me what she use to put in my daddy and uncle's lunch boxes and
many other things like when the hay in the field would be ready and how she never really did like Oreos and still doesn't! : )
Then I rode to church with my aunt and helped her in the nursery!
My aunt is so amazing! She can make any baby stop crying unless they want mama.
But then at times she can make stop crying for that!
She is so amazing!
We had two 2 year olds, one 1 year old, one 6 mon. old and one 9 mon. old!
It was a lot of fun!
They are all so precious!

This little dude is one of the 2 yros.
He is such a good lil' fella!
Him and Grace are having fun on the BIG chalk board!
If you click on the picture you should be able to see the pig that they drew!

Wonderful Wednesday

There has been many a Wednesday evening or afternoon
getting firewood from the wood pile from the field behind the house.
Me and Rosebud both say that we look like scare crows with so many clothes on!!
That night it was snowing!
It is such a blessing to never worry about whether or not we are going to be warm!
The wood pile on the porch is usually pretty high and if not,
When Daddy gets home, we all know what we will be doing before super!

Thank you LORD for never letting us be cold and for blessing us with a Daddy that is a wonderful provider!

Wonderful Wednesday

This my grandmother on CHRISTmas Eve

Wednesday is my favorite day of the week!
I get to go to my awesome Grandmothers house,my daddy's mother.
I embroider while she works on some mendin' (that is what she calls it)
that I usually bring and then at 4:00 we watch her program.:)
It is so peaceful being at her house knowing that you can tell her anything, just sit and visit, do school or take a nap!

Thank you LORD for blessing me with such an AWESOME Grandmother!
A girl couldn't ask for a better one!
