Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
A touching list...I love the zoo picture and #574. Dehumidfiers, wet-vacs and unfinished basements...I think I know what happened! Hope there wasn't too much damage.

ReplyDeleteThese are lovely things to be thankful for. Blessings on your preparations for school! Glad you had some time to prepare in quiet! I should be doing that now...oops. ;)
ReplyDeleteI totally loved Mr. Fixit -- and the Helper in the kitchen. :)
ReplyDeleteA couple of years ago my son was very into "fixing things," and we had some builders here working on a new back porch. Jack came down all ready for work with his tool belt, and I called him "Bob the Builder." He said, "No, don't call me Bob... call me 'Stranger.' There's STRANGERS out there..." He was so cute and serious. Your picture reminds me of those days...
I saw your profile pic pop up at a few sites I commented on today and thought I seemed to be following you, so why not say hello? ;) It's very nice to meet you!
I love the verses you have listed in your sidebar. A few of my favorites, which I happened to have read just this morning, again. The older I get, the more deeply I feel their beauty and power and truth!
Enjoy your new school year! I simply cannot believe it's almost September... it's time to get serious, folks! :)
It's so nice to meet you. I love Ann's community -- it's a blessing to me!
