Whose Angel Are You Suppose To Be?

Not all angels are from the otherside of the veil....always remember you may never know whose angel you're suppose to be

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Though shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." We are His hands here on earth!

Let us not think of service as a burden, but think of it as the opposite...to learn what love really is. Receive real
J - putting Jesus first
O - others next
Y - and yourself

RRRRRRING......Hello

Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his ear...Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his ear.

Little Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his ear....and he swished it and he swashed it 'till it flew away!
This is what I heard on the other end of the phone tonight....yes, little Annika was singing and wanted to sing Grandma a song. Then she continued to tell me about her day, playing with Aiden, her favorite dress up clothes that had butterflies, swimming, reading and coloring in her new book, soup in the cupboard, eating green beans, etc. etc. It is so much fun to hear these cute little voices.
Earlier in the morning we called Steven to sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY for his 2nd birthday. He had pancakes with a candle on it for breakfast and watched his favorite "car" movie...and would celebrate later in the day as the family returned home from school, work, sports.

The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems,
but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.
