Saturday in the park:)




What a nice day!
I awoke at 5:30 a.m. and set to task.
Arriving at the park on what was a "San Diego Day" cloudy and cool. The birds were so wonderful and the sky was filled with song. I had two hours to decorate.


We had a nice turn out. What wonderful families came. Some really great parents. It was really fun.




The kids all free played and then came in for cake and played some more.
After a while they did presents.

We even had a Mother with a sick child come and drop off a gift. That was sure impressive.

The other Mothers wisely stashed the gifts away in the gift bags so they would not get opened.
I met the Art teacher at the kids schools. She sets up the art master piece for the fourth graders. Photo Daughter is s volunteers for this program at her school so I was familiar
with it.

Now that was an easy party!
The whole thing was so peaceful and I so enjoyed the other parents.

We all headed back over to the house and Julie and her daughter came as well as Michelle daughter. Then when Michelle came we ladies had a peaceful visit and just hung out.
I have so much peace and everything turned out so well.
I rested in the afternoon and then the four of us went over to the elementary school and played basket ball until I had an asthma attack and had to rush home for a breathing treatment. The kids had showers and then we hung out on the "big bed" and gabbed and watched a little TV.
Daddy Man showed us some cool videos of "dry ice" exploding and such. Cool science. They are in having story time now.
That was a full day!
We did little to the house today it was a family and friends day.
Dash was given so many cool toys. His best friend gave him the same two Lego kits I did. It was the two he had prayed for. He was so thrilled to had double sets.
I love it when God answers my kids prayers like that.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
