My Prayer

Empty me

lyrics by Jeremy Camp

Holy Fire burn away,

my desire for anything that is not of you and is of me,

I want more of you and less of me.

Holy Fire burn away,

my desire for anything that is not of you and is of me,

I want more of you and less of me.

Empty me,Empty me,

Fill, won't you fill me, with you, with you.

I want more, I want more, I want more of you, Jesus.

I want more, I want more.

Thank you, Jesus.

Holy Fire, Holy Fire, Holy Fire, Holy Fire.

FFFF Challenge

I'm joining in the Family Foto Fun Friday Challenge this week. I ran across a blog named Double Happiness, the owner and manager of the blog is Donna, she and her husband have adopted two adorable little girls from China. She sends out fun weekly challenges. This week the challenge is to post things that you collect. I haven't ever thought of it as a collection, but I have a lot of birds. I LOVE birds. Whether they are feeding on a feeder outside my window, hanging on a wall, or sitting on a shelf, they put a smile on my face. Donna collects kitty cat ornaments and her husband collects teapots. This is a fun way to get to know other people that have adopted or in the process as we are. Thanks Donna.

HUG SOMEONE TODAY

turn up volume

Hugging is not only a nice way to start the day, hugging is healthy. It makes people feel better about themselves, it helps improve the mental outlook of the person who is being hugged, as well as the hugger, it cures depression. Hugging positively affects children's language skills and IQ, it helps the body's immune system, it keeps you healthier, it reduces stress, it induces sleep, it's invigorating, it's rejuvenating, hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug.

Hugging is all natural. It is organic, naturally sweet, no pesticides, no preservatives, no artificial ingredients and 100 percent wholesome.

Hugging is practically perfect. There are no batteries to wear out, no periodic check-ups, low energy consumption, high energy yield, inflation proof, nonfattening, no monthly payments, no insurance requirements, theft-proof, nontaxable, and of course, fully returnable.

You Grew In My Heart

This is one of my Christmas gifts from Paul. I love it so much!!

"You Grew In My Heart" Charm

A heart turns into the caressing arms of a mother's love, her hands tenderly embracing the greatest gift from God.(There's a heart shaped area on the back for engraving a birth date, referral date or 'gotcha' date!)

Sweet child of my dreams...destined never to part.

No love could be deeper...you grew in my heart.

We hold you close in our hearts until we are together forever!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

It's going to be a GREAT year!!!!
