Where do the weekends go?

The weekends always fly by sooooo....fast! This weekend was a great one though. Friday, I found out that Bella has been recommended for the gifted and talented program at her school. We had to fill out some paperwork , and then they are going to evaluate her and do some testing with her. I am SO proud of her! Saturday, I went to a tea with my friend Alitta. It was put on by military ministries. The guest speaker was a lady named, Ellen, and her testimony was so touching that it has stuck with me the entire weekend. I am trying to post a pic. of us in our tea hats, but it is not working for some reason! The tea house is such a neat little place. Then, afterwards, Rob, the kids, and I went shopping at the outlets. I love to shop, and it was so nice outside. On the way home from shopping, we were tlaking with Bella about who has a birthday coming up. Now keep this in mind - it was pitch dark outside, and there was not a star in the sky. Rob asked her if she knew who had a birthday in December? She said no. Rob told her that Jesus has a birthday, and her Ya-Ya, and her aunt Eka. She said that she was going to have to buy 3 presents. I asked her what she was going to buy Jesus, and she said I'm not quite sure. Then, after about a minute, she said that she was going to buy him some candles. I asked her, Why candles?" She responded with, "It gets awfully dark up there, and he needs them to make light in his room." I thought that was so cute and so genuine and so real!

Today was national communion day. I just love taking communion. It is such a powerful reminder of the love that God has for all of us! May all of you have a blessed Sunday!!
