Freedom


Celebrate the Real Freedom We Have in Jesus Today


Jesus Divine
4th of July Poem



We gather ‘round to celebrate

On Independence Day

Pay homage to our country

As the children run and play.


With barbeques and picnics

And fireworks in the air

The flag we own is proudly flown

To show how much we care.


The stars and stripes spell freedom

She waves upon the breeze

While bursts of colors can be seen

Above the towering trees.


This is all quite wonderful

We revel in delight

But God above in divine love

Has brought this day to light.


With just a stroke of liberty

A touch of His divine great hand

He gave democracy to us

And helped this country stand.


The stripes upon our stately flag

Were touched by His sweet grace

Each star of white that shines so bright

Reflects His divine loving face.


So as you turn to face the flag

For battles that were fought

Be filled with pride for those who died

And freedoms that were bought.


But don’t forget to thank the One

That gives the bright display

The reason why we paint the sky

On Independence Day

Strawberry Pie

1 Pillsbury pie shell

About 4 cups washed stemmed and cut bite size strawberries

 

 

Glaze

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 box strawberry jello

In a small bowl mix the sugar and cornstarch together this helps to prevent clumping.  Add water and mixture to a small saucepan and jello.  Bring to a boil and remove from heat.  Let completely cool before topping to your strawberries.  Chill

 

Happy 4th of July....

Hair of the Week

Posted on Friday, July 4, 2008 at 09:39 by LindseyinAL - 1 Comments - Post Comment - Link

Inspired by She Does Hair (thanks Chas, for sending me there!) I have been fixing up my girls' hair every single day this week!  I didn't think Baby Girl even had enough hair to fix up, but I've been pleasantly surprised by what I can do there.  It's still pretty limited, but in 6 months we should be doing quite a bit.  And she is SO GOOD about leaving it alone once it's done.  She hasn't removed a single band, bow or clippy yet. 

I have taken photos of them every day, mostly for my own reference, but I want to share one from each of them this week.  I am going to restrict myself to just one per girl, otherwise we could end up with an all hair blog really quickly.  So here are my favorites from this week:

I had two different women comment on how much hair Baby has while she had it like this:



And this is Big Girl's 'do for today.  Each of the 4 small ponies is done in a flip through/knot/bug and then another one for the full pony at the bottom.  I also broke down and trimmed a full inch off of her bangs.  We'll just wait until she's older to grow them long.  Or maybe she'll always wear them.

“I want to know one thing,” said John Wesley, “—the way to heaven: how to land safe on that happy shore. God himself has condescended to teach the way. He hath written it down in a book. O give me that book! At any price, give me the book of God! I have it: here is knowledge enough for me. Let me be a man of one book.”
