Consider the lilies of the field… Matt 6:28
Once upon a time there were twin sisters name Toto and Grace. They lived in a sweet little pink house in the land called LORDSLAND. They were very happy children and tried to always do their best in all that they did.

Look at darling, Kenlee. Her little bib says “What Santa doesn’t bring me Grandma will.” Well, one can guess what happened. This is Sherrie and Bert’s first granddaughter and Tammy (Needles), great niece. Also, Kenlee’s first Christmas.
One time I went to an orphanage in South America because I was on a cruise. We stopped by an orphanage. There was one girl who followed me. She was so cute! We handed out toys to them and medicine. That one girl asked me if my parents died too. I felt sorry for her. This is a picture of the kids in the orphanage.

On one Christmas season in a small village the people were getting ready to
present their presents before the king. Presents had been sought from the four
corners of the earth. Nothing could be spared for such a royal occasion. The
King was the finest King that had ever rules. He had a heart for the people.
The presents were lavishly decorated. The colors were of a kingly nature –
reds, golds and purples trimmed in gold and silver.
This is my dog Buzzy. He is now three months old. He is crazy! I hope you have a great and blessed
day!!!!
Love,
TOTO
(Prayer inspiried by Daniel and Nehemiah)
O Holy and awesome God, our Father, Whose purity is so great, so immense, so infinite, so thorough, so eternal that it defies definition; You, Who cannot be defiled by iniquity; You, Who have chosen to cut covenant with man in a spectacular display of compassion and mercy and have drawn us with incredible tenderness and unselfishness, to Your own heart by unequaled love through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, we come to You now in earnest petition in the Name of that precious Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
In a small rural town, nestled in between the mountains was found a mansion of monumental size. The gardens around this mansion were exquisite. Not a weed could be found. The flowers and flowering shrubs were well kept. The master made sure that the flowers obtained just the right amount of sunlight, water, and fertilizer. He walked the paths of the garden daily and talked and prayed over his flowers. As he talked to them they grew in excellence turning their heads to the sun as if breathing in the very Sun. They were so glad to be alive in this garden that if they had not been attached to the ground, they would have danced before the Master of the garden
True peace and love can only be achieved through forgiveness–
forgiveness of oneself and everyone else.
what is forgiveness?
To forgive means to express understanding for what happened —
what was done or not done to you. Forgiveness involves letting go of
the suffering and pain, the hurt and fear. It involves releasing the
other person from our hold on them and their hold on us.
We often think that by not forgiving people that we will teach
them a lesson, punishing them for their wicked ways. This is not
so. The only person who suffers is the one who holds the grudge and
allows the blame, shame, hatred, bitterness or revenge to fill them
up and poison the mind and body.
Hey Sara! I just wanted to tell you more about me dancing. I started dancing
when I was 7. I loved it! One day I was visiting my great-grandma in the
nursing home with my grandma. I told one of the residents about how I dance
and they wanted to see me dance. I knew I couldn’t take them to a show of mine
so I danced there. I began to dance for that nursing home from then to today.
This summer I danced for them and next thing I knew my grandma got a call
asking me to dance at another nursing home. Eneryone enjoyed it and hopefuly I
get to put more smiles on faces!
