Wonderful Evening

Friday, August 19, 2011

 

What a wonderful evening we had tonight.  Kathy called and invited us for supper at their house because it was Kyle and Kasey's last day at home before going back to school.  The meal was delicious and great conversation with everyone.  Even Micah was part of the entertainment.  He certainly has grown since we saw him last and I think he still remembered us.  Speaking of entertainment we had the honor being at a piano recital in the Grubbs home with Kyle playing two beautiful pieces and Tori playing one she composed.  Thank you!

 

Thought For The Day!

 

Love is not something that

fossilizes, but something that lives.

Works of love, and declaring love,

is the way to peace.  And where does

 this love begin?-----right in

our hearts.

 

Love, grandma

LOVE

Grandpa and I had a wonderful day of being and working together.  Can't give you much news but I can give you the thought for the day.

 

Today let us recall the LOVE of

God for you and for me.  His LOVE

 is so tender.  His LOVE is so great, so

real, so living that Jesus came just

to teach us that ---how to LOVE.

 

Love, grandma

 

NO LIMIT

Wednesday, August 17, 2011

 

Well Grandma is up and running again.  I was able to send out but not receive email.  I checked with my neighbor who has the same server and she was having the same problem.  This morning everything was working like it should.

 

Many are getting ready to go back to high school and college.  Work hard and have a great year!  Grandma will be praying for you all.

 

This message is for Micah.  Micah, how are you getting along with your new fence?  Can't wait to see how much you have grown since we have seen you.  Are you planning on going to school or are you going to be home schooled? 

 

Went to a tupperware party last night and had the best time.  I won the door prize, they replaced my 50 year old two quart measuring pitcher and what I ordered was on sale half price.  Whew Whoooo!  Oh yes, had wonderful snacks to boot.

 

Something to think about:

 

There is NO LIMIT to God's love.  It is without measure and its depth connot be sounded.

 

Love, grandma

Prayer

Monday August 15, 2011

 

I finished reading the book I borrowed from a friend called "Prayer" by Philip Yancey.  It's an excellent read but one you can't just buzz through.  The author illustrated many different kinds of prayer from different people and the last one I read I am claiming for myself.  You may join me if you like.

 

O gracious and holy Father,

give us wisdom to perceive Thee,

Intelligence to understand Thee,

diligence to seek Thee,

patience to wait for Thee,

eyes to behold Thee,

a heart to meditate upon Thee,

and a life to proclaim Thee;

through the power of the Spirit

of Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

Love, grandma

Quiet

Sunday, August 14, 2011

 

Grandpa and I watched the play off in the golf tournament this evening.  It was pretty exciting!  I shut the TV off and decided I would like to read my book in the quietness of the night.  Well, Grandpa had the TV on pretty loud in the bedroom watching his show.  I didn't want to tell him to turn it down because I knew he was enjoying the country music.  Someone was having a party in the neighborhood playing loud music and all I could hear was BOOM BOOM BOOM coming through the walls.  I was getting a little frustrated so I found a towel lying on the table next to me and wrapped it around my head to keep out the noise.  Success!  I was able to read in the quietness of the night.

 

Love, grandma

video

Saturday, August 13, 2011

 

Grandpa and I went to the car show in Garrettsville this evening.  It was a beautiful night and we saw a few friends we haven't seen for awhile.  The cars were amazing and were real classics.  We didn't see Grandpa's old 1950 Chevy he sold but it was fun anyway.  Of course we went and got our hot fudge sundae's at McDonalds and brought them home to watch the Browns and Green Bay play then flipping the channel to see MN twins and Cleveland Indians.

 

This video was sent to me today from a very good friend and I want to share it with you because I really care and love each and everyone of you.  Any one who is driving or learning to drive or is riding with someone who text while driving should really watch this video.  It's pretty emotional but please take the time to watch this 10 minute video.

Count Your Blessings

Friday, August 12, 2011

 

Last nights post with the question What would God ask you had me do a lot of thinking.  I hope it did for you also.  I'm not sure I came up with an answer but it sure made me think a lot about some decisions I could be making.  Sorry, those are personal thoughts.

 

Today, I just couldn't understand why I was being blessed beyond my imagination.  I certainly didn't deserve all that was laid out for me but I sure did appreciate this whole wonderful day.  If I shared everything it would seem like I'm boasting so I'm just going to remain with a thankful heart.  I will share one thing and that's our little 11 year old Amish girl came this evening with a dozen of homemade still warm cookies and zucchini bread that her Mom just baked.  Grandpa and I just had to have one of those cookies and we plan on having the zucchini bread for breakfast.

 

My question to you tonight is Have You Counted Your Blessings Today?  You might be surprised.

 

Love, grandma
