JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR... And some...

I needed a few cups and saucers for a special project. Samuel and I made a quick stop at the second hand store to search for tea cups. In no time, we came out with some very nice finds.

These were just what I was looking for. I was thankful.
Three were put to use that day, the blue one is in my cabinet for now.

On Tuesday I had made a stop before getting home from work, and picked up a different kind of "finds".

Stater Bros had these huge sweet strawberries. After service Wednesday night, Crystal and I felt like a bowl of cereal with some of those luscious fruits. She poured cereal, milk, washed a few srawberries, cut them up, place them on top and stirred the whole thing. I came right behind her and repeated the same actions except, when I picked up the biggest strawberry, there was something shiny - plastic? No, wings!!!
I love dragonflies, grew up with myriads of them in the summer time, but not in my strawberries! This is just about the actual size of these enormous fruits.

HOORAY FOR SAMUEL - 9 years old!!!

☆☆☆☆ HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMUEL BENJAMIN ROSEBERRY ☆☆☆☆
☆☆☆☆ A SMILE SAYS MORE THAN A THOUSAND WORDS☆☆☆☆

The birth of a baby is a miracle. For Samuel's birth, it was a series of miracles, from even before his birth. For three months, doctors doubted, predicted a grim outcome, even kept encouraging my daughter-in-law to terminate the pregnancy to save her own life! But God... Much power in the word " but". But God had another plan. For the first six months of his life, it was all uphill. Then God came thru again and surgery was not necessary. When Samuel had a major concussion, a skull fracture several inches long, God took care of him and healed him. Today is more than a birthday! It's a celebration of the power of God, right there in this little boy. I love him, I love him, I love him!!! Thank you Master for what You have done!
