Happy St. Patty's Day!

Did you wear your green today or did you forget and get pinched!? All of us wore ours, not sure about Karlton .... Maybe I will get to pinch him after he comes home from work. Ha! In honor of St. Patrick's Day we will be making (our own take off of Irish food) a linguine dish with cabbage and brussel sprouts w/ sour dough bread, (last night we had our beef and parmesan potatoes). It looks yummy.

I have a wee bit of Irish in me. How about you and how did you celebrate?

I thought I would leave you with 2 little lovely lady luck's to look at. Hope you have a great day!

The girls look adorable. Love the shirts.
By the way, you have more Irish in you than I thought. Your Gg-grandparents came from Ireland during the potato famine, but I found out that your G-grandpa Smith
was also part Irish, but don't know the story on that. Maybe that is why your favorite color is green. That's probably where my temper comes from. Just wish I had the luck.
Love ya'll bunches, xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

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."
