Our Own Ukranians with Love

 These 2 are G's Ukranian grandchildren.





Pray for peace in Ukraine.
Pray for bio relatives still in the country.

God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. 
(Ephesians 1:5, NLT)

Funny & Clever: a good combination

 

This smart and sweet boy, funny beyond his years, 
is 10! 

This is the cake he and G made. His idea to decorate with peanut butter M & Ms. It was delicious!   

When he was very little,  





he made up 2 phrases that we still use as "excuses" today. We find them incredibly appropropirate, depending upon the occasion.

        "I think I not."

        "I can't want to."

Feel free to borrow them at will. You're welcome. 😁

"Behold, children are a gift from the Lord."

Can you meet me?

G loves it when one of her grandchildren says, "G, may I come over? Can you meet me at the road?"

There is a busy side road they have to cross to get to G's house.
G loves to go and watch for them to be sure they cross safely over to her yard.
G loves to 'meet them at the road!'

Here she comes...


G loves waiting for her girl!

Behold, children are a gift of the Lord.
(Psalm 127:3)

Persimmon Time

 Had to stand in the back of the truck to reach them. 

Had to leave a bunch of good ones hanging out over the pond. 

But it's all gonna' be worth it when Mr. James transforms them into Persimmon Pudding! 



One of the special things I wait for all year.


for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true
(Ephesians 5:9)

Gotcha!

"G, there's water running out of our room!"

When G goes to look...

Clue-less?

 G.   In the Kitchen. With the pancake spatula.

It had been so long that we had to read the rules before we started. 



And it might be that G engaged in a little GHB (G Holds Back) policy.
She really doesn't like to beat her babies at games.
The fun is in the play!

Behold, children are a gift from the Lord.
(Psalm 27:3)

So, What happened is...

 The usual Thursday night sleepover at G's. 

The usual order up breakfast of chocolate laced pancakes or buttered toast.

A good time to tell G---blow by blow--a synopsis of the movie Skull Island, beginning with

"So what happened is..."


While the subject matter may not be G's cup of tea, wouldn't trade the breakfast table movie review for anything!

(King Kong notwithstanding)     

Behold, children are a gift of the Lord. 
(Psalm 127:3)
