A Mother's Prayer

  • “Prayers From A Mother’s Heart” Ruth Bell Graham
    Heavenly Father, I praise and thank You for the privilege of coming before You humbly and interceding on behalf of my children. Keep their hearts tender and sensitive to Your voice. Give them a love for Your Word and willing hearts to obey it. Help them to desire to walk before You in righteousness all the days of their lives. May they grow in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord. Give them a heart of compassion and concern for the lost and the wounded. Lead them to a place of service in Your kingdom’s work. Lord, send a guardian angel to watch over their going out and their coming in, and lead them not into temptation, but deliver them from the evil one. Send enough rain to keep them dependent on You but enough sun to give them hope and encouragement. And, Lord, when they’re standing at the crossroads trying to decide which path to take, put a person of faith there to point them in the right direction. Thank You for Your blessing. You provision, and Your great love for my children. I ask this prayer in the name of the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit.

These are a few of my special things...

 

016 

This old, old hutch was given to us when we moved into our home over 15 years ago by my grandmother Etter. I have shared with you before that she gave me her family Americana Fostoria when I was a teen.  It did not mean so much then as it did a few years later.  I don't use it like I use to.  Seems we don't entertain as much or maybe we just use paper dishes more when we do. 

I still cherish the gift of her sweet gift of these dishes and the gift of this beautiful piece of furniture.  More than having them, I cherish that she gave them to me and the time we spent shopping together for the hutch.  PRICELESS!

Look how green that water is!  Yes, I remember growing up in a lake nearly every weekend when the weather permitted!  This shot is special...it is just a beautiful shot!

I love the happiness in the faces on this shot of him and Lynds.  Lakes will do that to ya.  Something special about nature!  Thank you God for this beauty!!!

The mini cupcake maker took first place in my Fresh Find search today.  Looks like it would be a fun gift for Christmas for kids to share cooking time with their parents!

On Being a Redhead

  • Each T at rs1805007 was found to increase one's odds of having red hair by about 6.1 times.
    https://www.23andme.com/health/Hair-Color/
  • Redheads really do require more anesthesia, and by a clinically important amount.
  • Blondes are wild, brunettes are true, but you never know just what a redhead will do!
  • Redheads are inclined to higher spiritual connections, higher intelligence and greater wisdom from a Divine source. Chances are that the typical "evil inclination" towards red-haired people came from neo-platonic sources and the rise of the Papacy as the new religion of the world. The discrimination, prejudice and xenophobia towards red-haired people was partly based on the political plot of eradication of any and all possible descendants of Levi & Judah. Fortunately the genes were established throughout the known world before the Inquisitions & Crusades. Azanne Research
  • "When redheaded people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn,"
  • "Actually, the top of a carrot is green, not orange."
  • Greying is caused when the body stops producing melanin which causes hair to lose its color. However, when this process occurs in red hair, it tends to look blonde rather than gray.
  • A team reports in the journal Science that it extracted DNA from the remains of two Neanderthals and retrieved part of an important gene called MC1R. In modern people, a change - or mutation - in this gene causes red hair, but, until now, no one knew what hair colour our extinct relatives had.
