Fingerprint Friday - First Communion

Mike and I went to visit my oldest son's family last weekend. The two older children - Ty, 11, and Meg, 9 - made their First Communion. We were so happy to be there for such a special occasion! Here they are with little sister Paige, 6.


...and with their parents - my son Scott and daughter-in-law Wendy.


We had a busy and fun time, going out to eat at the Red Bowl (Asian cuisine) Friday night for supper, followed by a wonderful boat ride on the lake; church Saturday morning; Moe's for lunch; and Saturday afternoon playing with clay and playing Connect 4.

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." - 2 Peter 3:18

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.

Fingerprint Friday


We visited my oldest son's family in Charlotte a couple weeks ago and I took this photo when Scott and my granddaughter Paige and I walked down to the lake near their house just before sundown. So peaceful!

Some beautiful words from a song we sing at church...
Forever
by Chris Tomlin

Give thanks to the Lord
Our God and King
His love endures forever
For He is good, He is above all things
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise
With a mighty hand
and outstretched arm
His love endures forever
For the life that's been reborn
His love endures forever
Sing praise, sing praise
Sing praise, sing praise

Forever God is faithful
Forever God is strong
Forever God is with us
Forever
Forever

Furry children


I spent the day yesterday with my friend Joy. We met through etsy and now are real life friends. Here she is wearing a custom necklace to look like her dog Lily. I made the pendant and she did the hemp work. She got the "paw" beads from someone else.


We had our jewelry for sale at Lyman Elementary School, Lyman SC, yesterday at a festival called the "Spring Prowl." We had fun meeting lots of kids and parents, and then Mike and I went over to Joy's to visit her and Chris. Here are their other "fur babies" whom we adore.

Ash
Mike would like to take Ash home but Joy says no. :(

Simon, the biggest cat I've ever seen...part Maine Coon

Sunshine, such a sweetie
