Sunday Praises

I meant to do a praise doodle this week but life got crazy so instead I am going to share all the awesomeness God did this week.

First, things worked out so Rachel could be out of the house while Essie, Issac , and I took up the carpet in the hall and living room.  They were a HUGE help (they did about half the work, maybe more!)  We are now carpet free except for upstairs and the office.

Then, my mother-in-lawe offered us her leftover paint so we could paint before we put the laminate down.  And she offered to take the girls over night and my dad offered to take Issac, leaving me to paint all evening.

Dad also leant me all sort sof tools to get the painting done including an awesome extension which I used to paint in record time.

This means that the painting is done, other than some touching up which is good because tomorrow I have to work (an Antiques Roadshow sort of appraisal day where cameras will be everywhere and I get to work behind the scenes as a researcher).

Praising the Lord that the paint came off easily so if I do end up on camera I won’t be speckled white. 🙂

Finally, the other cool thing is that my business cards, which I only ordered through Zazzle a few days ago, came this morning, meaning I will have my business cards along just in case someone wants one. 🙂  I don’t have a picture of the card but it is two sided–

the bunny painting on one side,

Sisters on the other, my info on both.

$20 for 100 beautiful two sided business cards–very cool. 🙂 I do love Zazzle.  And they were here in two days, also very cool since I used regular shipping.  God is good, very, very good.

Sunday Praise Doodle: work

1 Peter 4:11
If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

(Thursday during the yard sale Issac wrote and created cards for several of his friends–Pam, next time I see you he made one for each of your girls.)

Sunday Praise Doodle: Psalm 104

A side note: the following was sketched out while watching the kids play in the pond today.  The sheer joy and peace they had was heartening and brought to mind Psalm 104 and its wonderful story of God’s absolute provision.  I only share a portion of it here, the rest can be found here.

10 He makes springs pour water into the ravines;  it flows between the mountains.

11 They give water to all the beasts of the field;  the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

12 The birds of the air nest by the waters;  they sing among the branches.

13 He waters the mountains from his upper chambers;  the earth is satisfied by the fruit of his work.

14 He makes grass grow for the cattle,  and plants for man to cultivate—  bringing forth food from the earth:

15 wine that gladdens the heart of man,  oil to make his face shine,  and bread that sustains his heart.

16 The trees of the LORD are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

17 There the birds make their nests;  the stork has its home in the pine trees.

18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats;  the crags are a refuge for the coneys. [b]

19 The moon marks off the seasons,  and the sun knows when to go down.

20 You bring darkness, it becomes night,  and all the beasts of the forest prowl.

21 The lions roar for their prey  and seek their food from God.

22 The sun rises, and they steal away;   they return and lie down in their dens.

23 Then man goes out to his work,   to his labor until evening.

24 How many are your works, O LORD!   In wisdom you made them all;

the earth is full of your creatures.

25 There is the sea, vast and spacious,  teeming with creatures beyond number—   living things both large and small.

26 There the ships go to and fro,  and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

27 These all look to you  to give them their food at the proper time.

28 When you give it to them,  they gather it up;  when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things.

Sunday Praise Doodle 6-22-08

The following is a good morning song the kids and I sing to the tune of the Veggietales song Laura sings at the beginning of Rack, Shack, and Benny. We sing it most mornings when we wake up, and I know I have it in my head every morning as I wake.  I had it in my head this morning and it seemed the perfect thing for this week.

Good morning,

Lord,

I love you.

Please be

with me

today!

I’ve got a lot to do,

and I want to ple-ase you,

while I work

and

while

I play.
