CHAPTER 4, PAGE 7

God, give us eyes to see the beauty of the Spring,

And to behold Your majesty in every living thing -

And may we see in lacy leaves and every budding flower

The Hand that rules the universe with gentleness and power -

And may this Easter grandeur that Spring lavishly imparts

Awaken faded flowers of faith lying dormant in our hearts,

And give us ears to hear, dear God,

the Springtime song of birds

With messages more meaningful than man's often empty words

Telling harried human beings who are lost in dark despair -

'Be like us and do not worry for God has you in His care'.

Helen Steiner Rice

GOOD MORNING !

Today is a special day – Our Dino Boys 6th birthday ! I call him that because above all else he loves Dinosaurs and for being only 6 years old it’s unbelieveable what he already knows about them. As with most of my grandchildren , he is very far away and I’ll be calling him later  to say ‘Happy Birthday’

I’m home from work today to do a much needed house blessing and to get ready for our family Easter dinner tomorrow. I have to make the ‘deviled eggs’ for our Princess and fill some Easter baskets for all!

I have the ham, baked bens and frothy slosh to fix and the babes will be bringing the rest of the dinner. They are all good cooks so we’ll be having lots of yummy food !

Thought for today

Don't Ever

Don't ever be reluctant to show your feelings

when you're happy, give in to it.

When you're sad, live with it.

Don't ever be afraid to try to make things better,

you might be surprised at the results.

Don't ever take the weight of the world on your shoulders.

That's God's job.

 Don't ever feel threatened by the future,

just take life one day at a time.

The future belongs to God.

Don't ever feel guilty about the past, what's done is done.

Learn from your mistakes and learn to forgive yourself;

God has.

Don't ever forget that you can achieve

so much more than you could ever imagine

just by letting God take the lead.

Don't ever stop loving.

Don't ever stop believing.

Don't ever stop dreaming your dreams.

Don't ever forget that it is God who makes all things possible,

not us.

May your day be blessed with a few smiles and a little sunshine to warm your heart !

Your Grandson is a Darling boy! we have a son (40+ now) who loved dinosaurs too and I started calling him Dino too and he is still called that to this day.... All his friends still call him that. I bet some that met him later in life don't know him by any other name.... One of his friends heard me calling him that one day and he called him that in front of another friend and it just stuck..... we have a gas station with a big dinosaur in front and he was always asking to go there because he wanted to see the dinosaur so we said ok Dino and it snowballed...it is pronounced like dean martin pronounced his....  I hope you have a very nice fish dinner tonight...
