The greatest gift I ever had
Came from God; I call him Dad!

DD at Taylor Swift's The Red Tour Concert

Our DD  

  is super excited,  

  ecstatic,  

  and just pure happy!  

Losing him was blue like I'd never known
 Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know
somebody you've never met
But loving him was red...
Taylor Swift, "RED"

He Gives Us Strength

Our strength is as big as the God in us...   So when we are at work or play, let's not forget that our strength always comes from the Lord.  
 

 

 I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.  Philippians 4:13 
   

Always Pray

Hope we could all commit to pray for one another...    

 

Do not be anxious about anything,

but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving

let your requests be made known to God.

Philippians 4:6

A Grateful Life

Praying we'd start the week with hearts full of gratitude for God's goodness.    

  Oh, how grateful and thankful I am to the Lord because He is so good. Psalm 7:17
 

Dancing Queen's 2nd Pair of Bloch Pointes

 

DD's 2nd Pair of Bloch Pointes.

It's that time of year again,
when sewing and attaching
satin ribbons and elastics by hand
become part of my job description
as a Mom.  :)  <3

 

 

Dancing is the poetry of the foot.

Therapeutic Afternoon

It was our niece's 7th birthday, and they invited us to this art camp called Art Camp Bezalel. 

Turned out, I had an amazing, and therapeutic day this afternoon. 

  I painted this!   

 

And then again...  :)

 

Will do this for sure with my DD next time.  She wasn't able to attend her cousin's party because she had a whole day rehearsal for her coming dance/ballet concert on Friday and Sunday.  Our DS, on the other hand, had an extended Piano class until after lunchtime, also for rehearsal for his Piano Recital this Saturday.  (Our kids are ALWAYS busy, summertime or not.  It's a year-round activity for both, and we praise God for the provision He always gives.)

 

 Every artist dips his brush in his own soul,
and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Henry Ward Beecher

 

He Will Fight for Us

This verse just reminded me now, that in life, we may not know which battles we’ll have to fight, but we can always be sure of who is fighting them with us.   

  The Lord your God Himself will fight for you. Deuteronomy 3:2

Milkshake's Time

We are all hoping that in several weeks' time, we'll have MINI Milkshakes romping in the house... Because this little lady here spent a great bonding moment this afternoon with her boyfriend, Phil. Champ, Emerald's Speedy from J. Ong.  :)  

 

Dogs are miracles with paws.

Count Our Blessings

...Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
 And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.  :)  

   Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
