Working on being Good to the Core

I have had a lot of time to think and think again lately, how about you?   I came upon this inspirational video and think it is something worth looking at.  


There are many things that deserve my attention and not at the mercy of the least important things.

What do you think?

Spending time with Jenna....what a joy!

Recently I have found myself out of a job again.....This made me sad as I liked what I did and who I worked for.  However being a parent of a 5 year old can be a challenge trying to keep things in a balance.  I need to work 4 days a week not 5 and find that many places will not consider you if you won't work 5 days a week.  So for now as I search, I am spending more time with my 5 year old Jenna and what a joy this time is.

Here are a few pictures of some of the things we have been doing...I hope you enjoy them.  Feel free to leave a comment if you would like.

I'M 50 AND I HAVE A FOUR YEAR OLD, YIKES

I recently had a visit from a wonderful friend who became a first time parent the very same day that my husband I did.  What a day that was.  Everyone should become a first time parent in a forgien country with a lot of strangers, God does work in mysterious ways.

She and her daughter seem delighted to spend time with our family.  We get together at least once a year and sometimes several times a year, like this year. 

We were blessed with beautiful weather for their visit to our home town.  We enjoyed a "Just Ducky" tour and a visit to a local incline.

It was wonderful to see our daughter play together as if they saw each other every day.  They are at home with each other almost immediately.  They are so much alike and yet very different little people.  Her daughter is so well mannered and soft spoken.  My daughter is very fun loving and at times loud and crazy.  They are good for each other and we hope that they will be lifelong friends as we hope to be too.

Isn't it grand how God's plans work?

I hope to get some photos of their visit to post soon.

Would love to hear of others stories of friendships formed by adoption.

Just for laughs visit this site and watch "Ground Rules", this will leave you laughing. Click herehttp://www.wingclips.com/movie-clips/despicable-me/ground-rules Enjoy!

An Ordinary Day...... blessed by Jenna's love

Every day Dale and I are blessed by Jenna's Love.
She is just a true joy to be with.  Everyone should experience such simple love!
Please pray for those who are expecting babies that they know they can not keep and care for.
Please pray for orphans that wait for their forever families, God knows them and loves them.
Please pray for the mothers and fathers who choose to give life and surrender their children to God's will.
Please pray for all those who choose abortion as their option, God save their souls.
God please in grace help those who ponder what to do about their pregnancies to choose life!
Amen.
