Fingerprint Friday - God's hand in the evening sky



This is how the sky looked one evening last week as I was riding home from work.
"And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years...." - Genesis 1:14

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do you see them? To find out how to join "Fingerprint Friday" and see links to other posts, visit Beki at The Rusted Chain.

Doggie Prayers

(This was sent to me in an email.)



 Dear  God:  Is it on purpose our names are the  same, only reversed?
 
 

 
Dear  God:  Why do humans smell the flowers, but  seldom, if ever, smell one another?
  

 
Dear  God:  When I get to heaven, can I sit on  your couch? Or is it still the same old  story?
 

 
Dear  God:  Why are there cars named after the  jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the  stingray, and the rabbit, but not ONE named for  a Dog? How often do you see a cougar riding  around? We do love a nice ride! Would it be so  hard to rename the 'Chrysler Eagle' the  'Chrysler Beagle'?
 

 
Dear  God:  If a Dog barks his head off in the  forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad  Dog?
 

 
Dear  God: We Dogs can understand human verbal  instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns,  clickers, beepers, scent ID's, electromagnetic  energy fields, and frisbee flight paths. What do  humans understand?
 
  


 
 
Dear  God:  More meatballs, less spaghetti,  please.


 Dear  God:  Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there  are, will I have to apologize?
 


 Dear  God:  Let me give you a list of just some  of the things I must remember to be a good  Dog.
  

1. I  will not eat the cat food before they eat it or  after they throw it up.
 
2. I  will not roll on dead seagulls, fish, crabs,  etc., just because I like the way they  smell.
 
3.  The Litter Box is off limits.
 
4.  The sofa is not a 'face towel'.
 
5.  The garbage collector is not stealing our  stuff
 
6. I  will not play tug-of-war with Dad's underwear  when he's on the toilet.
 
7.  Sticking my  nose into someone's crotch is an unacceptable  way of saying 'hello'.
 
8. I  don't need to suddenly stand straight up when  I'm under the coffee table
 
9. I  must shake the rainwater out of my fur before  entering the house - not after.
 
10. I  will not come in from outside and immediately  drag my butt across the carpet.
 
11. I  will not sit in the middle of the living room  and lick my crotch.
 
12.  The cat is not a 'squeaky toy' so when I play  with him and he makes that noise, it's usually  not a good thing.
  


 
P.S.  Dear God:  When I get to Heaven may I have my testicles  back?

Happy New Year!

What a busy month! December brought many custom orders and handmade gifts to finish up, and very enjoyable visits with family and friends here and out of state...and a foot of snow in between!

We met our son Kipp, daughter-in-law Rebecca and our youngest grandbaby, Everett, on December 23rd for lunch.

Then Christmas morning we got a big surprise. Our local newspaper said we would get about an inch and a half of snow. They were a little off. It started snowing at 8 a.m. and didn't stop all day. We measured about 12" in our yard. Needless to say, we didn't get to church and our daughter-in-law Wendy's family dinner got postponed.





In North Carolina we don't have road cleaning equipment to contend with a foot of snow! Some of it gets cleared off and some of it just has to melt. By Tuesday the roads were somewhat clear and we were able to go to the family get-together which was great fun. We saw son Scott, daughter-in-law Wendy, grandson Ty (10).....

and granddaughters Meg (almost 9) and Paige (6).

Then on December 30th, we headed up to Ohio for a few days to visit son Jeff, daughter-in-law Heather and grandkids Calvin (12), Stewart (13) and Jocie (9). We had a great weekend eating good food, watching videos, shopping, making polymer clay creations, and playing a fun game called Apples to Apples. We also had a wonderful visit with some friends who used to live here.

Mike and me with Stewart, Calvin and Jocie

Wishing everyone many blessings in 2011.  ♥
