Labor Day

Here it is Labor Day Weekend, where did summer go? I love, love, love summer. Yes, the weather gets hot in August in Texas but hey, it was extremely cold for Texas all winter. It was the wettest, snowiest (if that is a word) winter I have seen in many, many years, so I was more than ready for summer, warm weather, hot weather, any weather but snowy, cloudy and cold. I am sad that summer is over for another year.

Since it is Labor Day of course we need a project to work on and I have chosen to paint an old chest of drawers for my two granddaughters. They are moving to a new apartment so Grammy is fixing up their room for them. I did take a before picture and will take an after picture and post them on the blog so that anyone that reads this post can see what I am talking about.

Girls are just the most fun to buy for with all the pretty colors and girly clothes and accessories. I only had boys, the Lord knew I couldn't tolerate the drama of girls so he was merciful and gave me boys. : ) I do enjoy buying for the little girls though, they are always so excited and appreciative of all we have ever given them that it makes it fun for us to given them things their mom and dad can't at this time. I picked the girls up from daycare on Wednesday because their mom was moving that day. When I picked them up of course they were full of chatter, both at one time, but Mallory consistently talks to me about God and asks me about different things. I can see that he has already prepared her heart and she already has a knowledge and a love for God that would have to have been instilled in her from birth. Her parents do not take her to church, she goes with us on occasion so the knowledge she has been exposed to is limited. The bible tells us we are born with a knowledge of God and she is truly proof of it. Her parents do not attend church and her dad says he does not believe in God. She is worried about her dad and was asking me if someone doesn't love God and doesn't do good things for God will God still love them? It breaks my heart that she is worrying about that at her young age but thrills me to know she is contemplating God and thinks about him a lot and that she knows she can talk to me and Papaw about any questions she has about God. So when people say they don't believe in God, maybe they don't think they believe, but God created something in us that lets us know there is a higher power than ourselves. I am so thankful to know I have a Creator, Lord and Saviour that is smarter than me! Can I have an Amen to that? : ) Happy Labor Day!
