Wrapping Up 2008.....

This has been a full but fun filled year for the Shrum family! This is my 203rd blog for 2008. Pretty good huh! I started my blog last Dec. I missed my blogging ann. I was going to do a celebration post but I guess I missed that one. Since I started blogging a year ago todate I have made 217 post. Not bad for my first year!

The Shrum family always says goodbye to the old year by pigging out on finger foods until we make ourselves uncomfortable and then we watch about 3 movies until it is time to ring in a new year.

The Party Food Menu for 2008:
( Southern Seafood theme)
*Stuffed Crab
*Cajun Crab Dip
*Shrimp Cocktail
*Spinach and Cheese Pastery Puffs
*A Variety of Veggies W/ Ranch
*A Large Fruit Tray W/ Chocolate Dip
*Assortment of Cheese and Crakers
*Chips and Dip
*Chocolate Hay Stacks

Yummo!!! Now we are all stuffed and snuggled into our PJ's (me in my new Victoria Secret Flannels I got for Christmas)and watching movies. What better way to finish out the year!

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
