We talked this morning about promises rather than name changes. I gave each child a snack size zip bag with a freesia bulb and four o'clock seeds. They understood right away about waiting and how God is with us even if we can't see God. I also had three tulips just starting to peep out, in a forcing vase, to make the point about roots growing even if you can't see them. <BR/><BR/>Many thanks to you all here at RGBP. You may not realize, but you've been a life line for me many times.<BR/><BR/>Shalom.Lisa Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09932883196444091728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-85654665070976414732009-03-08T08:57:00.000-04:002009-03-08T08:57:00.000-04:00One of our conference's suggestions for getting pe...One of our conference's suggestions for getting people to show up due to DST was actually to have a "pajama" Sunday. lol... maybe somewhere today flowered jammies would work just fine!Katie Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01143363139786424632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-10216920492364565352009-03-08T08:22:00.000-04:002009-03-08T08:22:00.000-04:00yes, jam please.
