Walking through my own little personal garden on April 12th was an inspiration to grab the Flip and shoot some colors.

Delivering Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Karl & I have been delivering shoebox presents to the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child for three years. It is a wonderful organization and a growing program that provides kids who might not get a Christmas gift with a shoebox filled with presents. In looking at the newletters from Samaritan’s Purse, of the children with their shoeboxes, some of these kids live in such impoverished countries and neighborhoods that it brings tears to my eyes to know I’ve contributed something of value to them.

We have chosen girls aged 10-14 every year. I feel these are the kids I can relate to as being children who really need to know they are loved and cared for and special. These are the girls that will go on to become mothers one day and boy-oh-boy, we need to teach our young girls they have great value in this world. Their self-esteem and the benefits that gives their families will be felt for years to come. So right after Christmas, I’ll start shopping the clearance shelves for our next year’s Christmas shoe boxes.

One of the thrills I get in watching this video is seeing how happy Karl and I are. We really enjoy this activity and it shows. Don’t you just love looking at photos and movies and videos of events or holidays when you look really happy!!!

God bless us every one+

Corn Harvest Down Main Street November 2009

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

The corn wagons have been coming up and down the street in front of my home for the past 4 days. They carry tons of corn to the mill. Caught some of them on video. It is a slow and late harvest this year. I hope bountiful. Illinois farmers feed a LOT of people.

Church On Father’s Day

Daddy On His Locomotive Engine ~

Karl & I just came from church today. 1st time either of us has been to a service in a couple years.  Real nice.  Had videos of kids from the classes telling “What do you think  your dad should do on Father’s Day…?”  Cute answers & wonderful natural kid responses.

Pastor made a very relevant comparision.  He talked about how fathers should - Tell their kids that - things are going to be OK, be happy, life is good, Our Heavenly Father is watching over us (if you’ve got it right with him) & He will see us through any tough times - instead of speaking worry & doom & unrest to their children.  He hit on the current condition of “the world” and that this is a very challenging time & still, we must, (fathers were his target), keep the talk to the children uplifting.

He also hit on forgiving your own father if he had parenting “shortcomings.”  LOL  The great thing he said about that is —- “Get over it…”  I said Gina’s name aloud as she has an issue with her childhood somehow being connected to current problems & constantly goes to the past in justiying the present.  And also a few Amens for my own childhood father “shortcomings.”

He told all the kids to hug their dads today until their heads popped off. 

That’s a cool line.
Happy Father’s Day to All Dads who nurture & all Men who lead wisely
