Words Spoken In Truth?
.... Or... How I Spent My Easter Monday.Me: Lord... I can't DO this! Why did they choose ME?
God: You CAN do this Melli. They chose you because they have confidence that you would do a good job.
Me: But Lord! I don't know her well enough! I don't know what to say! How can I choose the right qualities?
God: Melli, you write poetry. You knOw words. You know how to put them together and make it work!
Me: But Lord, this is IMPORTANT! It's a Birthday Prayer!!! I need YOUR help! I need your guidance! I need you to stay WITH me and HELP me get this right!!!
God: *sigh* Well... I had World Peace on my agenda for today....
Me: Lord! You know world peace is hiiiiiiiiighly over-rated! And besides... if you grant it, you'll practically be out of a job!
God: *shaking his head* Melli... with YOU around, I will never even be BORED, much less out of a job!
My sincerest apologies to all who were praying for world peace today. God meant to get to it, but I think I stressed him out! (not to mention myself!) I will be around to visit once I regain my composure! In the meantime... here's a glimpse of Luz in her most adorable little Easter dress that her "other" grandma bought her!

Quilly -- Oh yes! The prayer got done - and made deadline! The birthday was being celebrated at Bible study last night! The prayer got rave reviews -- and of course, God gets ALL the credit!!!
Mar -- Thanks Mar! Amanda took this picture at home before she brought Luz down. I never actually got to SEE her in the hat - which broke my little heart - but I would have had the hat tipped back a little. I think my daughter has NO idea of how hats go! LOL!

I'm glad the prayer got written and all is well there. I cannot believe, you, Miss Words, stressed over that!! You write so beautifully. I think you were a perfect choice.
Luz is definitely adorable. I'm sure one day you and she can don your hats together for a scrumptious tea party!
Hugs,
Susan
