FFF

This weeks FFF is of Joel's art work that is hanging in the old part of Main St. of where we live. He was chosen out of the 2nd grade to go to an art studio with some other kids from their elementary to do an art project in January. At the beginning of March they hung all the kids banners on Main St. for display. How cool is that!

Here is the artist himself showing you the banner his group painted (which consisted of Joel and 2 or 3 other 2nd-3rd graders).

Here it is up close! Good job guys! It looks beautiful!

As I was standing there taking pictures a lady with a big camera was also taking pictures and said " I hope you do not mind but I took a picture of you taking a picture of your sons artwork. I work for the city of Lancaster , so do not be surprised if you see yourself show up in some advertising of for the city." Of course I do not mind :)

Maybe you will be like me and paint more things for people some day. (Like murals on store windows or on walls for people to see.) It is so much fun. Let me know about the lady that took pictures of you. Maybe you will be in the newspaper.

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."
