As I sat down today to post my verse for this period, a totally different post began composing in my mind and another verse suddenly seemed more appropriate. I have experienced a lot of personal loss this past two weeks. Loss in the form of serious illness of friends, tragic outcomes for family members, sorrow for acquaintances experiencing devastating changes to their lives.
As I thought on all of this a verse from childhood popped into my mind. A verse I need to re-commit to memory.

I will lift up my eyes to the hills
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-2

I had a verse in mind for today, but then this morning as I was looking it up to type out, I came across another verse that I wanted to memorize. Isn't it awesome how God works?!
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.God is love. Whoever lives in love, lives in God, and God in them.
1 John 4:16
It reminds me of a song we used to sing when I was very little:
Praise Him, Praise Him!
All ye little children.
God is love, God is love!
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.God is love. Whoever lives in love, lives in God, and God in them.

Events Remembered, Never to be Forgotten
That day in second grade when the spelling test was interrupted with the news that the President of the United States had been assassinated.
That night in sixth grade when I lay awake in fear and sorrow as riots broke out across the nation (and in St Louis where I lived) in response to the murder of Martin Luther King Jr.
That day in 1986 when I watched in horror as the Challenger exploded on take off.
That day in 1991 when I sat in my living room and watched a war begin.
That morning 14 years ago today when I awoke to the news that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center in New York City, turned on the TV and watched in disbelief as a second plane was flown into the other tower.
These are the events I remember every year that I will never forget.

Meeting Gracie
Well, it finally happened. I got to meet a fellow blogger face to face! I have made two attempts in the past to see friends I've met blogging, but both times the plans fell through. This time was a success and it was delightful.
I met Gracie of Needles Pins and Dragonflies last week. She was downsizing some of her stash and I expressed an interest in her Lizzie Kate flip-its. My hope was that we would be able to meet in person since we live so close to each other and it worked out. We spent an hour getting to know each other, discussing our LNS past and present, and other shops we've visited around the country. The time flew by and we're hoping to meet up again soon.
Gracie is a dear, and the best thing about meeting her (as I told her) is that now when I read her blog, I hear her voice!
Thank you for the flip-its, Gracie, and for taking the time to meet in person. I enjoyed it immensely!

One of the many promises contained in God's Word:
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1 NIV

Yesterday Was Exciting!
Yesterday I unexpectedly had to pick the kids up from school. First I went to get Thunder from pre-school. He was surprised and happy to see me, and I was very happy to see him in his I Love My Grammy shirt! When we got home we just had to take a photo. Especially since the shirt is obviously going to be waaay too small for him soon.
When I picked Sunny up, she was filled with excitement because she had a "purple" day at school. Purple is the 2nd highest achievement in her class. We then began talking about her Tooth Fairy Pillow. She was talking about her loosest tooth, when all of a sudden she shrieked "Grammy! My tooth fell out, my tooth fell out!" She was so excited. I pulled over the side to give her a tissue to bite on to stem the bleeding and then continued on home. Of course, then we had to take a photo of her new smile!
I talked to her this morning before school and she told me the tooth fairy left her $2 in her new pillow. And she has two more loose teeth. Guess the tooth fairy will be busy the next few weeks!
