Preaching Lili!

Preaching Lili

Early one morning while I prayed, Lili, my four year old granddaughter, sat at the top of the stairs preaching to her imaginary choir below.

She spoke loudly, “God gets the monsters off of you. He sends them away!” She cried. “God is going to come into your heart. He’s going to love you.”

“We’re going to pray,” she paused briefly.

Then she started preaching again. “The WORD is going to help you! God loves you! He LOVES His children. He is going to love you a lot!”

She held her arms wide. “He loves you this much!”

“You’re going to need to pray — you’re going to do it! Close your eyes and PRAY”

Finishing her sermon, she clapped her hands, Praising God!

Take it from a four year old — GOD LOVES YOU!

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:7

Air Evac

As much as I love this helicopter, I hate to see it fly in at times. Mostly because it lands under extreme circumstances and leaves you standing helplessly by. However, I have found that it’s an opportunity to stand in the gap and pray hard for another. Thereby giving HOPE rein.

Air Evac First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people! Timothy 2:1

 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1

Lili and the Wild Geese!

Lili and I walked over to the pond on a quest to photograph the wild geese. As I instructed her to be quiet and walk softly, because the geese are skittish, she bounced, twirled, and jumped.

I quickly started taking photographs all the while praying to the Lord to send angels to keep the flock corralled for a moment. Lili, on the other hand, walked off toward the geese on a mission of her own.

“Lili, get back here,” I hissed softly. “You’ll scare the geese.”

In turn, the determined Lili gave me a look that said — watch this, grandma! And I did, in amazement.

geese - 5Bless the Lord, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word! Psalm 103:20

Happy Birthday, Mister Kaden!

My grandson, Kaden, is turning one this week! He is a precious child with a heart of gold and a wonderful disposition. And a smile will light your face when anywhere near him!

Kaden's one - 2Happy Birthday, Mister Kaden! Jesus loves you! And grandma loves you too!

Kaden's Birthday

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield. Psalm 5: 11 & 12

Snow! Snow! Snow!

airport - wpAs the skies let loose of a graceful snow and accumulated on the airport, Lili, my four year old granddaughter, decided to fix my hair. After drying, combing, curling, mousing, and spritzing she announced, “Grandma, you’re hair is a freaking monster!”

The next day this monster-haired granny took her three grandchildren, James, Lane, and Lili, outside to build a couple of snowmen.

The 1st snowman we named Pilot Snow. The 2nd — Fat Snow, but after viewing the photos he looks more like Boo Boo Snow!

 “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. Isaiah 1:18

Praising the Lord at Sunset!

Lili 1 Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens! Praise Him for His mighty deeds; praise Him according to his excellent greatness!

Lili 2Praise Him with trumpet sound; praise Him with lute and harp!  Praise Him with tambourine and dance; praise Him with strings and pipe!

Lili 3Praise Him with sounding cymbals; praise Him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Psalm 150
