A Beautiful Afghan

This is an afghan that I started when I was on vacation and I just finished yesterday! I got the pattern from my wonderful Auntie R! She's the best! :)

Vacation Pictures 2

~*Wyoming*~

This part of the pictures I took while I was at my grandma's house. They are not of anything in particular, but me just messing around with the camera.

(What is it?)(One of the pickets on my Grandma's fence.)

(Yeah. This is how close I got to it. No zoom.)
(I love this clock!)

Vacation Pictures

Hello! It's been a while since I posted last. Hu? Well, that is because I was on vacation! :) Here are some pictures from the first part of my wonderful vacation. (I will try to explain what each of the pictures are.) You can also see my Sister's blog for pictures as well.

~*South Dakota*~


(I don't know why, but I like this picture. It was raining and I thought it would be a cool picture with the construction cones.)

(Okay, Tell you the truth...I'm not exactly sure what this is. I just thought it was neat to look at so I took a picture.) :)

(This one is pretty funny I think. It's a skeleton of a man leading a skeleton of a dinosaur on a leash...If you can't tell what it is.)

(See how far you can see?) :)

(I love this pictures because of the way the flag looks. That's what the picture is about. *smile*)

(Rock formation.)

(The Black Hills.)

(A beautiful tree all by itself on the side of a hill.)

(And again. See how far you can see?)

I'd Rather Have Jesus

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I'd rather be His than have riches untold;
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands,
I'd rather be lead by His nail pierced hand.

Than to be the king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin's dread sway,
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause;
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I'd rather have Jesus than world-wide fame,
I'd rather be true to His holy name.

He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He's sweeter than honey from out of the comb;
He's all that my hungering spirit needs,
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead.

SONG: Rhea F. Miller
TUNE: George Beverly Shea

"On the last morning she was walking near the tents and huts of the desert dwellers, when in a lonely corner behind a wall she came upon a little golden-yellow flower, growing all alone. An old pipe was one tiny hole through which came an occasional drop of water. Where the drops fell one by one, there grew the little golden flower, though where the seed had come from, Much-Afraid could not imagine, for there were no birds anywhere and no other growing things [in this great desert].

She stopped over the lonely, lovely little golden face, lifted up so hopefully and so bravely to the feeble drip, and cried out softly, “What is your name, little flower, for I never saw one like you before.”

The tiny plant answered at once in a tone as golden as itself, “Behold me! My name is Acceptance-with-Joy.”

Much-Afraid thought of the things which she had seen in the pyramid: the threshing-floor and the whirring wheel and the fiery furnace. Somehow the answer of the little golden flower which grew all alone in the waste of the desert stole into her heart and echoed there faintly but sweetly, filling her with comfort. She said to herself, “He has brought me here when I did not want to come for his own purpose. I, too, will look up into his face and say, ‘Behold me! I am thy little handmaiden Acceptance-with-Joy.’”

— Hannah Hurnard, Hind’s Feet on High Places

Goodbye Trail!

As a tradition each year we build a Fox and Geese trail. It is simply just a trail that you make with the dead leaves on your lawn and then play tag within the trail. It's quite fun! But yesterday we had to mow over it. *sigh* But that's all right. Now we can look forward to one next year. :) Just thought I would share this with you, and a couple pictures explaining what I'm talking about. :)

Salvation

Justification:
God declares
us righteous.

Sanctification:
God delivers
us daily from
the power of
sin.

Glorification:
God delivers
us from the
presence of
sin in heaven
