GEOMETRIC CREATION OF GOD

New England this time of year is full of snow. I love & miss the cool clean fresh air after a beautiful snow fall.

Remember feeling like a child again full of joy & wonder during the blizzard of 78. Yes many were stuck in the snow, but the 'Horray's !, that rang out when our neighbors car left the parking lot. And what else can we do but have an awesome snow ball fight.
I could just taste the cold wet snow, oh how refreshing (don't eat yellow snow), ask mom. My son Joey and I would create vanilla-water colored snow filled cones and they tasted great!.

All the neighborhood kids wold come to Joey house to make snowman & create snow-angels.

ENJOY: See this awesome great creation (geometrically created snowflakes) during this refreshing season.

REMEMBER: To thank God who created & opens the snow chamber for all to enjoy...

NIGHTY NIGHT

Did you all sleep well, after your wonderful Thanksgiving dinner?. This reminds me of the Hymn-'Sweet hour of prayer.

Imagine praying to God from A-Z get to K and visualize thanking God for his 'Kaliedescope Creation' of our earth.
But to really fall into deep sleep thinking of J-Jesus is the best lullaby yet.
And to get to Z takes a lot of Zeal !.

So I'm sending you this little reminder even though we were so sleepy last night..

The other Hymn comes to mind ,'Er you left your room this morning did you think to pray?. Try it don't open your eyes right away and say 'Abba father while personalizing the Lords prayer. This will awaken you each morning refreshed and it does wonders for your soul.

And let us share this because we care, yet without revealing the personal awesome privilege we have with our Holy Lord God in prayer.

Remember: Enjoy Wishful Thinking of God's Blessings

BECKY'S BEAUTY BARS

It smelled so good, I wondered what Mrs. Becky was cooking & creating in her pot. She said it wouldn't take long as she rolled her sleeve up her arm. And to the environment it would do no harm. I looked and listened as she worked away. I'll dream of scented soap, that we smelled all day.

GOLDEN RETRIEVER PODDLE

How much is that Doggy in the window?. The one with the waggidy tail. How much is that Doggy in the window? I do wish that Doggy's for sale. Isn't he cute ! ? I love his short hair and his caramel.coloring. Those big soft floppy ears look so cuddly, too. And see the curly tail just waiting to wip around with excitement. I never had a dog growing up. But my mom's friend had a black lab named 'Blackie', And I loved him tons. He would protect us by sitting at our feet, whenever I'd stay at her house. I enjoyed that a lot. This little guy is precious. He is the perfect size for a small apartment, too. Wonder how much he'll grow ? Got to read more about him. I will keep you posted...His name is 'Cooper', he has big paws and his curly hair will change by the time he's one years old.

ANGIE

PROVERBS 31:10-31 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good not harm all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still dark, and provides food for her family.
She considers a field and buys it, out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously, her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable,and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds the distaff and grasp the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her hands to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothe with scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed; she is dressed in fine linen and purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothe with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Many woman do noble things, but you surpass them all.
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

DEAR FAMILY by Camille Bittle...

"You must be worn out, Dorothy -Why don't you go up to your room and lie down? I'll listen for Virgil, " I'm not tired", It wouldn't hurt to rest." How can I rest thought Dorothy wasn't it better to sit with her eyes wide open staring at fimiliar things, than risk the inner visions of her mind....


In the desperate days of depression there was one constant that most people could count on-Family, This was true of the Beanes, who had endured in the past and would certainly do the same now...

When Dorothy Beane's husband, Ed, suddenly loses his job to the Great Depression, the Beanes are forced back to Dorothy's childhood home in Havenhill, Massachusettes, and under the roof of her strong-minded mother. Hard times will work to tear the family apart. Not only will the young couple lose much of their privacy and independence, but Ed must leave their new home in search of work, and the onset of the Second World War will ultimately send their son and daughter far away. Through it all strength, hope, humor, and most of all, family will help the Beanes to survive.

Camille Bittle's marvelous portrait of three generation of a New England family brings to life Depression-era America at a most personal level. In Dear Family she had created a rich and intimate novel about life, loss, memory, and the tides that bind people together in good times and bad.

Review: "A beautifully written book about real human beings who endure real tragedies and rejoice in real triumphs and are always strengthen by a real sense of kinship. In short, Dear Family is a real masterpiece."--Francis Gray Patton, author of Good morning, Miss Dove.

VETERANS DAY-VALEDICTORIAN

Brewster began with the words: " It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times." As soon as he'd said that much, an electrified silence came over the gathering. Those who failed to recognize the quote thought it sounded very impressive and true, and those who knew the author of those words were amazed that a product of Sunny-side School would have thought to apply the opening of A Tale of Two Cities to the current situation in the world. The assembled families and friends sat in respectful silence as Brewster continued

"Our country is a great country," said Brewster. "As a people we have pushed our frontiers from the great Atlantic to the wide Pacific. We have more land and better resources than any other country in the world, and yet within this great land of ours thousands go hungry and hundreds are out of work. We cannot sit idly by when there are things we can do. Our great president in Washington is starting up programs that will help all Americans. He is doing what he can for the veterans who fought for this country to try to bring an end to war. He is doing things for young men who have no jobs. We must support him in his work to save this country and its people."

When Brewster finally sat down there was a pause and then hard prolonged applause . Dr. Adams nodded his head. He'd had boys like Brewster in Willow-brook. They were God's bright lights of the future and he felt assured to know God was still on the job

Mr. White to show his approval, nodded at everyone whose eyes he happen to catch. The boy was right. Times were hard. He could use the address as a text for his next sermon. He would start with, "inasmuch as ye do this unto the least of these, you do it unto me," and he drifted off in a happy haze

Can we say the same today? Unless we learn from history we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes & failures. Hopefully not and we may have a heart like Brewster who shared because he cared.

In memory of all the soldiers like Brewster who have given their all for our freedom as Americans....

ELIZABETH LONGFELLOW

Elizabeth Longfellow shared her poetry with me. She's a descendant of Longfellow you see. Every time we meet is a treat, with all the writing she shows to me.

One of the most precious words I read of her poppa's sermon stood in my heart & head. Elizabeth writes daily in a journal page and there her world has a stage. I enjoyed all of her art that she shows to me. I read it and smile as I'm laughing with glee.

She loves to take her journal where ever she goes, in case of Inspiration Elizabeth is on her toes. I hope she will always remember this post and know I think of her poems the most.

This lovely young girl's sermon writings are a precious pearl and I'm sure she'll trust & obey them because she's a wonderful girl.

I think she'll write a poem for me about all our family tree. She's the keeper of her parent's history you see...

HONORED & BLESSED

Good morning! Thank the Holy Lord God, we were blessed with a beautiful Lord's Day Sunday. Our precious family honored us with a 'Silver 25th Anniversary' party at our son and daughter in-loves beautiful spacious home. The day began with an answered prayer: 'A Sunny Sunday', we sat to worship in front of the new sun streaming glass screen door. The boy were handsomely dressed, Joe had on his Herringbone suit jacket and Rebekah wore her beautiful Celtic gown with a silver cross on the bodice. To be honest with you, I have a hard time getting 'dressed up', but I thought this is a special occasion. So therefore, I wore a 2 piece ecru- set my sister gave me from P. Rico, it has an olive green floral jacket, a fall style really nice.

Everyone got busy preparing for the party in the kitchen. We were told not to open the refrigerator (the cake was in there). The meal consisted of Cucumber & artichoke soup for appetizer, Baked Lasagna & Homemade pan Italiano smelled delicious. The table setting was gorgeous and the two tier home-created Masipan cake was beautiful. There was a tiny silver framed pictures of Andy & me on the cake. The reception table had two silver framed 'antiqued 'pictures of our wedding.

Finally the guest arrived Starla & David (Rebekah's parents) and Scott & Angie(Becky's sister) and their children. Everyone came bearing gifts, it was so exciting, I almost started crying. We are so proud an honored by our wonderful & thoughtful son Joseph & his wife Rebekah and their precious sons. The three course meal was laid out on ecru -linen tablecloth, and the feast began with fun & fellowship had by one & all. The children and adults sat seperate, but we could still hear their fun & laughter. The meal was well received as it was timely, hot and delicious.

Then Davey began the gift giving with two art clippings of our favorite birds it was really nice & neat. Thank you, David William we appreciate your personal artistic touch. Joey created & baked the cake with momma, and we really love the way it was designed with silver beads on top with the number 25,. Great job Joey!!! Thank You. Our son Joseph toasted us & gave a speech, and with his lovely wife Rebekah presented us with two beautiful silver framed wedding pictures. Thank you both for all your love & thoughtfulness. Andy & I are truly grateful for it all.

Angie gave us a sweet drawing rendition of a blue bird, it is so pretty, we really love it a lot. Starla & David's gifts were beautiful, a 25th anniversary plate with love birds (our favorites) and a Kitty candle holder (with bobbing head). Thank you for the precious one of a kind unique gifts, we really love them. Last but not least the Widner children gave from their heart. A big planter of English Ivy, my favorite ! the black soil came from Angie's house and the precious plant from Starla's front yard. We were surprised & delighted at all the originality that went into creating these unique & precious gifts.

Our sincere thank you for all the loving Fellowship we shared together.

Remember: Enjoy & cherish the love for each other always..
