What I'm thinking about this morning...

I find it so important to be praying for our children. I am trying to instill the importance of prayer with my children and they love to pray.. many times we all pray because they both have things on their hearts. We have a carpool and it's funny..when it's my week to drive one of the five kiddos always chimes in telling me "We need to pray"! I love that!

Sunday night we had a prayer meeting for Orphan Sunday. Let me paint a picture for you...The adults were sitting in a chairs in a circle and in the middle of that circle were about thirteen children. They were each given a name of a child at the Redeemer House Orphanage in Uganda and one by one they lifted that child in prayer. Oh my goodness it brought tears to my eyes.

And then today which is what spurred this post. As I dropped off the kids this morning some very dear friends were in their car praying for their child before school. Once again...this gal was crying!

So the moral of this post..Please pray for your children. Train them up in the ways of the Lord. As parents we want the very best for them. What a better gift to give your child than training them up in the Lord.

Deuteronomy 6:6-7, 18


These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up....Do what is right and good in the Lord's sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land that the LORD promised on oath to your forefathers,

Ephesians 6:4


Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Matthew 19:14


Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."


1 Timothy 4:12


Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

Prayer Request

Please pray for this family as they head to court tomorrow to hopefully finalize their adoption.

Seeing Stars!

I have been very busy crocheting lately. I think it's the Fall air that put me in the mood. That and all the babies that we have coming. Here are a few projects...

This one is for a little guy that is coming home from Africa very soon with his forever Mommy and Daddy.

This one I did a couple of years ago for David..but it needed to be bigger so I have added a few rows..like the one above it's 36" ..nice size!

And this camo blanket..sadly I started too long ago and just finished for a sweet brown eyed Hunter V..it finished out about 3x5..nice size. At that time I would have had only one other blanket to make for the kids..since then Isaiah has joined their family. So two more to go! Unless the Lord knows something I don't..better get to it!

Punk Rock Day

Crazy Hair Day

It's theme week at school and actually we have another one next week for Red Ribbon week! Today was crazy hair day..so glad I have not taken Jeffrey in for a haircut or we would have had nothing to work with! It's hard to tell in the picture..but Grace had six different brades and/or pony tails going on..very cute!

Moo!

Ahchoo!

This house has been hit by Fall Allergies! And let me just say they are no fun! Thankfully they are not bothering Jeffrey but Grace and I just want to climb under the covers and sleep through them! We are going through the Puffs! Grace had left for school the last two days with tissue box in hand. Praying that the allergy meds I am already taking pick it up and they go away!

I don't think it's a coincidence they have knocked me out the last couple days..I am going to an AWANA ministry conference this weekend and Satin does not like it when we strive to be closer to our Lord and Savior. So today I am resting and praying that I feel wonderful tomorrow and ready to take in what is being taught. Have a blessed Friday!
