mostly makoa.... ;D

It is always nice to start the day giving praise to our Lord! So many times I am into asking and asking of Him.... but I wanted to start this beautiful day acknowledging just Who he is!

Ahhhh... Saturday! My favorite day of the week! It is 8:30 a.m. and Papa, Punkin and Toby are asleep still. So it is very quiet and peaceful. We have no plans today. Of course, I am sure Papa will do the usual... mow and clean vehicles. He does it every weekend. ;D I am doing windows. fun. Woke up with bad leg cramps a few times last night. Plus had both animals on the bed almost all night. I might even need a nap today!

Yesterday was a great day! Makoa was such a good boy. He played and played. We played together and read books. I waited until noon to put him down and he fell right to sleep and woke at 2. We played more and his daddy picked him up. Easy day. Here are pictures to share and a video! Some are blurry... here he was trying to put Papa's slippers on and walk in them. I would think there would be an easier way... but who knows?
He was trying to run his car on my tv... so I brought out the car mat. He loved it!
We ate a late breakfast.... he had sausage patty, scrambled eggs with cheese and toast.
And he ate almost all of it!!!! He must have been hungry! Fruit doesn't always fill you up.
Speaking of fruit.... here is Makoa with his favorite book. The only reason he loves it is because it has 7 bananas!
It wouldn't let me upload the video so I will have to try it later!

I hope you all have a great day! I know they will at Ganky's in Georgia... another marine came home from the war safe... and it is celebration time! Praise God!!!! xoxo! Thank you Justin!

ANDREW'S DEVOTION: READ Matthew 6:5-15
Andrew's thoughts...."We all pray differently, but this is how you should pray unto the Lord. Try it out sometime! :)"
My comment.... I love this portion of the Bible... Jesus's words. His guidance. He doesn't mince words... He tells us exactly HOW to pray! Thank you Jesus!!!

Matthew6: ⁵"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. ⁶But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. ⁷And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. ⁸Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

⁹ This, then, is how you should pray:

¹⁴For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ¹⁵But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."

amen
