You’re picking up toys on the living room floor for the 15th time today Matching up socks and sweeping up lost Cheerios that got away You put a baby on your hip and color on your lips and head out the door And while I may not know you I bet I know you Wonder sometimes does it matter at all Well let me remind you it all matters just as long as you
Do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you ‘Cause He made you to do Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face And tell the story of Grace With every move that you make And every little thing you do
Maybe you’re that guy with the suit and tie Maybe your shirt says your name You may be hooking up mergers, cooking up burgers But at the end of the day
Little stuff, big stuff, in between stuff God sees it all the same And while I may not know you I bet I know you Wonder sometimes does it matter at all Well let me remind you it all matters just as long as you do
Everything you do to the glory of the One who made you ‘Cause He made you To do every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face And tell the story of Grace with every move that you make And every little thing that you do
Well, maybe you’re sitting in math class Maybe on a mission in the Congo Maybe you’re working at the office Singing along with the radio Maybe you’re dining at a five star Or feeding orphans in Myanmar Anywhere and everywhere you are Whatever you do it all matters So do what you do and don’t ever forget to do
Everything you do to the glory of the One who made you ‘Cause He made you to do Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face And tell the story of Grace as you do Everything you do to the glory of the One who made you ‘Cause He made you to do Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face And tell the story of Grace with every move that you make And every little thing that you do Every little thing you do

“Ladies this e-mail will answer all your questions…
Men Are Different!
They think differently…
Talk differently…
Are interested…
Or not interested…
In different things!
The sooner we realize it the better off we’ll be…
And the easier it will be to get along…
Why Men Are Seldom Depressed!
Men are just happier people:
Their last name stays put…
The garage is all theirs…
Wedding plans take care of themselves…
Chocolate is just another snack…
They can be President…
Car mechanics tell them the truth…
Same work, more pay…
Wrinkles add character…
Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100…
New shoes don’t cut, blister, or mangle your feet…
One mood all the time…
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat…
A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase…
They can open all their own jars…
They get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness…
Three pairs of shoes are more than enough…
They are unable to see wrinkles in their clothes..
They don’t need to put on a new face every day…
The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades…
They only have to shave their face and neck…
They can play with toys all their life.
One wallet and one pair of shoes! One color for all seasons…
They can ‘do’ their nails with a pocket knife…
They have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache…
They can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24th in 25 minutes…
No wonder men are happier!! Ha!
Nicknames:
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah…
If Mike, Dave, and John go out for lunch, they will affectionately call each other Fat Boy, Bubba and Wildman…
Eating Out:
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it’s only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back…
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators…
Money:
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs…
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t need, but it’s on sale…
Bathrooms:
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel…
The average number of items in the typical woman’s bathroom is 337…A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items…
Arguments: A woman has the last word in any argument…
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument…
Future:
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband…
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife…
Marriage:
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t…
A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change, but she does…
Dressing Up:
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash,
answer the phone, or go get the mail…
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals…
Natural:
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed…
Women somehow deteriorate during the night…
Offspring:
Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments, romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears, hopes, and dreams…
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house…
Though For The Day:
A married man should forget his mistakes. There’s no use in two people remembering the same thing!”
P.S. Read about relationships:
Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus by John Gray, Ph.D.
Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain Holy, Holy, is He Sing a new song, to Him who sits on Heaven’s mercy seat
Holy, Holy, Holy Is the Lord God Almighty Who was, and is, and is to come With all creation I sing Praise to the King of Kings You are my everything And I will adore You
Clothed in rainbows, of living color Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be to You the only wise King
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder At the mention of Your Name Jesus Your Name is power Breath, and living water Such a marvelous mystery
2 Corinthians 5:21
“God made Him
who had no sin
to be sin for us,
so that in Him
we might become
the righteousness of God.”
Revelation 4:8
“Each of the four living creatures
had six wings
and was covered with eyes all around,
even under his wings.
Day and night they never stop saying:
‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty,
who was,
and is,
and is to come.'”
Revelation 22:1-21
Eden Restored
“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life,
as clear as crystal,
flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
down the middle of the great street of the city.
On each side of the river stood the tree of life,
bearing twelve crops of fruit,
yielding its fruit every month.
And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
No longer will there be any curse.
The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city,
and his servants will serve Him.
They will see His face,
and His name will be on their foreheads.
There will be no more night.
They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun,
for the Lord God will give them light.
And they will reign for ever and ever.”
John and the Angel
“The angel said to me,
‘These words are trustworthy and true.
The Lord, the God who inspires the prophets,
sent His angel to show His servants
the things that must soon take place.’
‘Look, I am coming soon!
Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.’
I, John,
am the one who heard and saw these things.
And when I had heard and seen them,
I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel
who had been showing them to me.
But he said to me,
‘Don’t do that!
I am a fellow servant with you
and with your fellow prophets
and with all who keep the words of this scroll.
Worship God!’
Then he told me,
‘Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll,
because the time is near.
Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong;
let the vile person continue to be vile;
let the one who does right continue to do right;
and let the holy person continue to be holy.’
Epilogue: Invitation and Warning
‘Look, I am coming soon!
My reward is with Me,
and I will give to each person
according to what they have done.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the First and the Last,
the Beginning and the End.
Blessed are those who wash their robes,
that they may have the right to the tree of life
and may go through the gates into the city.
Outside are the dogs,
those who practice magic arts,
the sexually immoral,
the murderers,
the idolaters
and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
I, Jesus,
have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches.
I Am the Root
and the Offspring of David,
and the bright Morning Star.”
The Spirit and the bride say,
‘Come!’
And let the one who hears say,
‘Come!’
Let the one who is thirsty come;
and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll:
If anyone adds anything to them,
God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll.
And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy,
As we were getting ready to celebrate my son’s 23rd Birthday…
We did the 10-year “infertility roller-coaster” years ago to have him…
I had him when I was 41…
He’s the light of our lives…
And our gift from God!
There was a point where we came to the same moment you and your husband came to…
We were only going to be able to afford one more round of in-vitro…
and my very blunt Mom said to me,
“Maybe it’s not God’s will for you to have a child!”
That shocked me…
I stopped in my tracks thinking about it!!
Then, I knew I believed that it WAS God’s will for me to have a child!
We had a miscarriage before my son,
Lost the other two embryos that were transferred with him,
And had a miscarriage after him!!
Though I wanted all those babies we lost,
I know I’ll see them in Heaven!
Now I direct a Drama Team at church,
And I’m “Drama Mama” to so many kids, teens, and young adults!!
God is so good!!
We each need to ask God the hard questions as you did…
And His answers are the BEST for our lives!
May God richly bless you always!!”
The Birthday Boy Man!!!
That face always makes me smile!!!!
Proverbs 1:8
“Listen, my son,
to your father’s instruction
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
Father and Son!

“Correct thy son,
and he shall give thee rest;
yea,
he shall give delight unto thy soul.”

has pain because her time has come;
but when her baby is born
she forgets the anguish
because of her joy
that a child is born into the world.”
We brought our Precious Little Girl…
A chewy treat from Petco on our way home from Outback…
Obviously, she cares more about that treat…
Than taking a Birthday photo with Casey!!
Proverbs 3:1-6
“My son, do not forget My teaching, but keep My commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
It’s so hard to get a good photo of our Crazy Siberian…
‘Cause she’s constantly moving…
That’s why I love landscape photography…
Most things stand still!!
Romans 12:2
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test
and approve what God’s will is—
His good, pleasing and perfect will.”
My two “Babies!”
He always smiles…
She’s smiling…
But she still has the chewy treat in her mouth!
She always thinks we’re going to take it from her!!
What would we want with that yucky chewy???
James 1:17
“Every good and perfect gift
is from above,
coming down from the Father of the Heavenly Lights,
who does not change like shifting shadows.”

“May the Lord cause you to flourish,
both you and your children.”
Deuteronomy 4:9
“Only be careful,
and watch yourselves closely
so that you do not forget
the things your eyes have seen
or let them fade from your heart
as long as you live.
Teach them to your children
and to their children after them.”
Jesus I pray…
-Your Word will prevail over our children…
-Your Peace will embrace them…
-They seek Your Wisdom and Understanding …
-They’re quick to obey You…
-They’re Holy in all conduct…
-They hunger and thirst for more of You each day…
-They’re content with what they have…
-They grow in the grace and knowledge of You, Lord…
-They’re clothed with humility…
-They cast their cares upon You, Father, for You care for them…
-They’re doers of the Word, and not hearers only…
-They learn to effectively share their faith…
-They don’t have a spirit of fear…
-But of power, love, and a sound mind…
-You save them…
-You call them with a Holy Calling…
-You provide safety for them, day and night…
-They walk in the Light as You are in the Light…
-You purify their hearts…
-They follow after righteousness, faith, love, and peace.
-They have favor and high esteem with God and man.
Amen!
2 Timothy 2:22-25
“Run from temptations that capture young people.
Always do the right thing.
Be faithful, loving, and easy to get along with.
Worship with people whose hearts are pure.
Stay away from stupid and senseless arguments.
These only lead to trouble,
and God’s servants must not be troublemakers.
They must be kind to everyone,
and they must be good teachers and very patient.
Be humble when you correct people who oppose you.
Maybe God will lead them to turn to Him and learn the truth.”
and the one the Lord loves rests between His shoulders.”
Deuteronomy 33:27
“The Eternal God is your refuge,
and underneath are the Everlasting Arms.
He will drive out your enemies before you,
saying, ‘Destroy them!’”
Hallelujah and Amen!!
Psalm 139:5-6
“You hem me in behind and before,
and You lay Your Hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.”
To the one who’s dreams are falling all apart And all you’re left with is a tired and broken heart I can tell by your eyes you think your on your own But you’re not all alone!
Have you heard of the One who can calm the raging seas Give sight to the blind, pull the lame up to their feet? With a love so strong He’ll never let you go Oh, you’re not alone!
You will be safe in His arms! You will be safe in His arms! ‘Cause the Hands that hold the world are holding your heart This is the promise He made He will be with You always! When everything is falling apart You will be safe in His arms!
Did you know that the Voice that brings the dead to life Is the very same Voice that calls you to rise? So hear Him now He’s calling you home You will never be alone!
These are the Hands that built the mountains The Hands that calm the seas These are the Arms that hold the Heavens They are holding you and me!
These are Hands that healed the leper Pulled the lame up to their feet These are the Arms that were nailed to a cross To break our chains and set us free!
