• whew...what a weekend!!

  The twins that I had and placed for adoption almost 16 years ago came to visit us this weekend.  They brought their beautiful mother, Raye and her twin sister Faye.  We had a blast together!!!  We got up early Saturday to straighten the house a little for my jewelry party, then went to Ross to get me a mirror to hang in my entryway.  Then back to the house to get the food ready for 3pm...the time of the party.  Then went shopping again and didn't get back to the house until 9pm.  I was soooooooooo exhausted!!  Had to be at the church at 8am the next morning!!  After church we went to eat and then Raye, Faye and the boys left to go back to Mississippi.  Iwas going to take an afternoon nap, but decided I would just go to bed early!!  THAT didn't happen, but I did get some rest.  

  On Thursday this week, I head up to Arkansas for my son's graduation.  We will be ther from Thursday to Saturday.  Danae is going with me...she can't drive, yet, but at least she can keep me company.  Sunday we have a family reunion for Dom's mother's side of the family somwhere on a lake in Texas.....that is all I know.  I just hope MONDAY I can rest!!! 

  I just HAVE to share this photo with you.  This is Samuel, the younger twin (by 33 minutes...lol)  His school has a powder-puff football game, where the girls/cheerleaders played football and the boys were the cheerleaders and homecoming court.  Sam was nominated and pretty much he HAD to do it...lol  I sent the pic to my parents and they fell over laughing....cause he looks SOOOOOOOOOOOO much like ME when I was in high school!!! lol

  he's the one with the wig...lol

  Here is a pic of both boys with my dad last summer.....

  peace, love and hair grease.....

  HE LOVES YOU
  
  Jesus prayed that we would know just how much our heavenly Father loves us. He loves us just as He loves Jesus!
  (ROMANS 5 : 8 TMB)
  
  Order your thinking, your feelings, and your ideas according to God's Word, for you are a child of God and precious in His eyes. If you see yourself as the expression of the love of God, there are things you will not do and places you will not go. Say to yourself right now, I am a child of the King. I am royalty. I have a place at His table.
  
  We do not serve God to gain His acceptance. We serve not out of duty but out of devotion. We are accepted, so we serve God. We do not follow Him in order to be loved. We are loved, so we follow Him.
  
  LORD JESUS, THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME AND GIVING ME A PLACE OF HONOR AT YOUR TABLE. I WILL SERVE YOU OUT OF GRATITUDE BECAUSE YOU HAVE ACCEPTED ME INTO YOUR ETERNAL KINGDOM. AMEN.
  
  God Bless
  
  Your only boundaries are your own perceptions of your potential.
