A little celebration

The kids sometimes go "play" at the outdoor sports place.  It can be a scary place!

Better learn how to protect oneself!




Wolves frighten me! Truly!  I've heard one too many stories.  Grandma B. once told us that wolves chased our ancestors in the woods of Prussia.  And wolves also chased my ancestors in Ohio back in the day.  

We are told in Isaiah 65, that one day the wolf and the lamb will eat together in peace.  But for now the "wolf", that evil one who hates us, comes to attack and scatter.  John 10.  Jesus tells us that He is the Good Shepherd.  He lays down His life for us. 

The "danger" here at the outdoor store was fun, but the real world is filled with real danger, isn't it.  Satan wants to destroy God's people.

My heart is so heavy for what is happening over in Israel.  What do we do?  We pray. We need to trust in Him.  He is in control.  

I've been drawn to Psalm 37 three times over the last couple of days.  It sounds like it was written for today, it is so applicable!  Psalm 36 too.  You should read these Psalms.

"Do not fret because of evil men....
     Trust in the LORD....
   Commit your way to the LORD...
               Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for Him....
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret - it leads only to evil....
          A little while and the evil will be no more...
If the LORD delights in a man's way, He makes his steps firm...
He is their stronghold in time of trouble.  The LORD helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them because they take refuge in Him."

We walked around the store.  In a way it would be fun to have one of these boats.


Ummm.  Just a little pricey!


We can dream.




On the way home, we stopped to pick up dinner to celebrate Papa's birthday!  They were out of pecan pie so Papa picked out a cheesecake for his dessert.


Happy birthday, Sweetheart!


Good thing there weren't as many candles as there are his years!!
Could he blow them all out???

68!!!


He received calls from the other children.


After dinner, we went to another park to play.


She is a brave girl!


One day, little girl, you'll be able to keep up!
