His Glory Will Cover the Earth

I will tell of Your mercy
And Your unfailing love
I will be, to the glory of Your name

Like a banner they will see You
Lifted high above
They will speak, of the One upon the throne

And Your glory, will cover the earth
Like the waters, cover the seas
And the earth, will sing Your praises
Forevermore, Your kingdom shall be

Sing aloud Your song
Give praise to the One
The deliverer has come
It’s the bridegroom come

I believe heaven’s coming down
Jesus will reign, on the earth
The two, shall become one
Forever united in the Son

This is reality, He is coming to reign on the earth
And the increase, of His government, will know no end

You Will Never Be Put to Shame

If you put your hope in Him!

Put your hope in Him whose name is above every other name.

Praise His name, for He is worthy.

He is our Strength and our Redeemer.

God transcended, Beautiful, Beautiful!

Come, bless the Lord with me (and Justin Rizzo and his team at IHOP-KC)!

Kelsey’s St. Patrick’s Day Celebration

Kelsey really enjoys celebrations. So much so that she actually helps me pull them off! I have always had to do most of the planning and work throughout our years of memory-making, but now that Kelsey is older, she helps a lot. She gets really excited and remembers our traditions and reminds me of them. This year she remembered the green lemon squares I made a couple of years ago. So ta-dah! This year we made green lemon squares again. I just need some nudges and some ideas and some help with the work, and I accomplish a lot! Am I asking for too much?

Kelsey fixed all of the green eggs and ham. I think she used 2 dozen eggs. She did a great job. They were delicious!

She set the atmosphere with a CD of Celtic music. She squeezed the lemons for the lemon squares. We had more lemon juice left, so she thought of lemonade – green lemonade, of course. I made the lemonade out of the lemon juice that she colored green.

She found the videos of “Green Eggs and Ham” and the Veggie Tales St. Patrick. She called everybody to come watch them on the computer.

Then she got the younger kids to draw pictures of as many green things as they could think of.

They also made cards for Grandpa Douglas. We prayed for him as they made their cards.

Our St. Patrick’s Day celebration wouldn’t have been nearly as nice if Kelsey hadn’t pitched in and helped so much.

Thank you, Kelsey!

The kids all watched “Green Eggs and Ham” on YouTube. Then they watched the Veggie Tales version of St. Patrick’s life.
