Happy Mother's Day!

This weekend we celebrated in Chicago since I had a breast cancer walk to work at Sunday. Eric took us to the InterContinental Hotel, enjoyed a nice dinner out Saturday night along with some relaxing swimming, and then breakfast and shopping after I was done Sunday morning. Elena was all too thrilled to take the train once again, and to shop for something new at the American Girl Store. She chose a little dog named "Coconut", that she vehemently renamed "Diva" to bring home to her Lanie Doll. We are now on a mission to make her a new bed and pillow...Happy Mother's Day to all! I know mine was a very happy one! ;)

National Day of Prayer

Heavenly Father,

We love You. We thank You for the day You have given to us, the time and the opportunities of the moment. We know You are Sovereign, Mighty, and Just. We ask that You be merciful to us, forgive us for our sins, forgive us for forgetting You. Please be with us in all we say and do. Help us see others as You see them, as You see us, and help others to see You in us. Help us to be pleasing in Your sight, and remind us that it is only You and You alone Whom we should be concerned about in word and deed. Help us to bless others for Your sake. May the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts today, and every day, be what would glorify You...In Jesus' Name, Amen

Psalm 118:24

This is the day that the Lord has made;

let us rejoice and be glad in it.
