What an awesome God we have!

We are at Price this year and teens who have

made decisions to commit to teach kids.

We now have 50 children enrolled. They have

even put invitations out for any new ones.

Thank you to the new principle!

Good News and bad news

We are in our 4th week of Good News Club at Price Elementary and it is growing. So far 7 children have made decisions to trust Jesus for the rest of their precious lives. We have 39 children enrolled. We had a real missionary come this week... Miss Sue our CEF missionary who specializes in preschool and teaches all over the world 64 countries. What a blessing!

We have much to thank the Lord for as we have 7 teens coming to work with the kids and teach.

They are teaching 'Beginnings'... creation, Adam and Eve, Abel and Cain and this week Enoch. Ethan is doing a marvelous job and counseling the children too.

Sad moment today though, the office manager at Eagles' Landing informed us that we could not

teach Good News Club there this year. New management company she says doesn't want just one religion being taught there (;-( . Our God is in control and I believe He has plans we don't even know about.

Birthday lunch

A beautiful lunch was set out for the celebration of my birthday.

What a sweet time with Toni, Joseph, Johnny, Joshua and Daniel.

How God blesses this grandma!

Last week was such a blessing. (2nd week in Aug. 2009).... I was privileged

to transport 3 teens, 2 were grandchildren to South Padre Island. Elisa, Nicole and Kylee (dear friend of Elisa's). We stayed in a condo with other condos in the complex occupied by relatives!! God as always blessed our time spent with one another. Spent hours everyday on the beach and shared meals..It was grand. Just an added time to thank our wonderful God for all He does. His creation to see on the nature walk was breathtaking to say the least.

My little CRV Honda had been "repaired" before we left, but someone had made an error. It clanked the whole time all the way and back. I took it in to the mechanic and he was amazed it did not break down. He said, "Someone was certainly watching over you!" We know WHO don't we?Isn't HE compassionate... don't have time to tell all the wonderful things HE has done in the last few days and to add to it all the things we are not even aware of !!!

5 Day Club

John 15:16 (ESV)

¹⁶You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

I pray that God would bless this club this week and many would come to the Father.

The Lord loves us so much!

2 Peter 3:8-10

⁸But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. ⁹The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

¹⁰But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare

Pro Life

This pretty much says it all.

Again my great and wonderful grandchildren

These are Tessie, Joshua and David. Taken over Memorial Day weekend. We all were at the Hammer's for campout.
The kids had a ball. There were 16 of my 20 grand kids there!

The Delight of Despair May 24 By Oswald Chambers

"And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead." Rev 1:17

It may be that like the apostle John you know Jesus Christ intimately, when suddenly He appears with no familiar characteristic at all, and the only thing you can do is to fall at His feet as dead. There are times when God cannot reveal Himself in any other way than in His majesty, and it is the awfulness of the vision which brings you to the delight of despair; if you are eer to be raised up, it must be by the hand of God.

Numbers 33 is what God commanded Moses.... to record the stages in the 40 years of Israelites journey to the promised land.

Our Father in heaven, if that is what you desire of me.... I am listening and will obey. Come Holy Spirit, breath on me.

I pray that You, Lord will help me be faithful. Without You I am not able. I love You.

Maggie's Confirmation

Yesterday, Saturday, this grandmother, Mimi, was blessed to attend the confirmation of her son's eldest, Maggie at St. Mark's Catholic church. She looked radiant and wore a beautiful shawl of her own making!

It is so wonderful to know my children are growing in the Lord and also a blessing to know that my grandchildren are walking in the Lord.

My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, And all flesh will bless His holy name forever and ever. Psalm 145:21

Oh the joy of grandchildren. You can see these two are sweeties. Oh thank You Lord for how You bless me. This is Anna in blue and Mary Grace in rose. They were so much fun to watch at the North Texas Irish Festival.

Grandchildren are such a joy.

Last Saturday March 7th, some of us went to the NTIF to enjoy my grandchildren especially Mary Grace and Anna as they preformed Irish step dancing. What fun!!

Onward

Life changes, we grow older and hopefully wiser. Oh that we could realize our true life is way beyond here and now. Our merciful God for some thought Him harse, He is so forgiving. How often we rebel and our wondrous creator forgives. Numbers 14:20 "I have forgiven them as you asked......however they did not get to see the Promised Land. Forgiveness is what HE does,

however we must remember we continue to forget, His forgiveness. Strange, the most wonderful unbelieveable creator whose creation is all around us and we still are blind.

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.

The picture is the Sea of Galilee taken April 2008 Israel trip.

Israel

I am committing to evaluate and post about my trip with my eldest daughter to Israel.

We went last spring and I am convicted that it is important to gather my memories,

pictures and momentos and write about it. If I don't put this in form of a promise in

print, I won't do it... so be watching for my installments of "THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME" by yours truly... Mimi

Lordslambs?

Because I have so many grandchildren, my delight would be to encourage them in the Lord. serving Him, learning more through His Word, and also with that, seeing how His Holy Spirit helps them Live Beyond Themselves.   That through the power of the Holy Spirit, they can "do things they couldn't, feel things they didn't and know things they wouldn't". Psalm 27:13 "I will see the goodness of the Lord in the Land of the living"

Praise God...

Living Beyond Yourself

Am in an exciting Bible study-Beth Moore. God is showing me that even as old as I am

He continues to work in me through His Holy Spirit. My prayer is that through this

study, I can share new, fresh and divine insight in how He loves and guides us in His Spirit.

John 3:16, He loves us soooooo much.
