Pets Are Certainly Part of the Family

IMG_0003

As we attended the Celtic Festival in Bethlehem Pa today our wee Westie, Iona, and our Scottie, Mr.Knightly were certainly part of the family, and stole the show all dressed up in their Scottish regalia. When my daughters were small I enjoyed sewing for them and dressing them up. Now that the girls are all grown up and gone from home I enjoyed sewing for my furry children this week and dressing them up to show off their Scottish heritage amongst the parade of hundreds of colorful tartans and the air filled with the sounds of the highlands on the swirl of the bagpipes. It was like taking my wee family to Scotland for the day without crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

God Moves in Mysterious Ways To Remind Us To Pray

While in Russia I prayed for and made friends with Tatyana. She reminded me of someone I knew and when I was in Macys today I realized it was Sharon, my favorite shopping assistant. When I showed Sharon the photo of Tatyana she exclaimed “Wow! She could be my daughter!” Maybe a relative somewhere in the family line as Sharon’s family was originally from Poland. So, Tatyana, you may be far away in Novocheboksarsk Russia, but when I am at the Lehigh Valley Mall in Allentown Pennsylvania and see Sharon I will remember to pray and think of you.  It really is a small world!

2 Timothy 1:3 Without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers.

Come Apart Before You Come Apart!

Being a person who believes an active mind is a healthy mind and wanting to redeem every minute, I find it so hard to relax! But after my long trip home from Russia and the seven hour jet lag I had to take a fresh look at Jesus’ advice in Mark 6:32 where He tells His disciples 

Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while.

So today I obeyed and took a whole day just to rest and relax on the beach at Ocean Grove New Jersey.
