Emergency Preparedness

In case of emergency

those who are calling on the name of Jesus
will be prepared. 

We will already be down on our knees.

Therefore, God elevated Jesus

to the place of highest honor

and gave Him the name above all other names,

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

and every tongue confess that

Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11

Time with the Grandchildren!

I've been at my daughter's house for a few days. The youngest was very excited to see Nana and her "little red car". We went for a walk and fed the ducks at the park near their house. My daughter is wearing the sunglasses, and the three granddaughters are in the center. Kaedyn wanted me to set her hair on curlers as we got ready for the air show and fireworks at Thunder Over Louisville. I am wearing a bracelet the 12 year old made me on her loom. The oldest will soon be Sweet Sixteen and get her driver's license.

Pleasing to the Eye

The Lord God made all kinds of trees 

grow out of the ground—

trees that were pleasing to the eye 

and good for food. 

Genesis 2:9

I have really enjoyed the flowering trees around Kansas City this spring.

I will be driving to Indiana to be with the grandchildren tomorrow, so I'll have new Nana stories and pics for you soon!! Saturday we will watch the air show and huge fireworks display over the Ohio River in Louisville, KY.

Bring to Remembrance

Psalm 119:105

Shortly before His death and resurrection, Jesus made this promise:
The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
John 14:26 NASB

I remember my Sunday School teachers when I was a child teaching us every Sunday. They told about Zacchaeus climbing up the sycamore tree to get a glimpse of Jesus as He passed by, and Paul writing letters from his prison cell that would make up almost half of the new testament.

My teachers have all gone on to Heaven now, but I wish I could tell them that I really did hear some of the lessons and still treasure those memory verses they had us recite. I can picture Mrs. Cleo playing the upright piano singing "Jesus Loves the Little Children".

Lord, Help us as we encourage our children and grandchildren to make Your Word come alive for them while they are young. Thank you that, just as You did for us, You will bring Your words to their remembrance through life's joys and trials.
