Looks Like Morning in My Eyes

With a February Sunrise, on a cold winter's morning I can hear the wind rustle the tree leaves with a swoosh, while our eyes feast on the colors of the early painted sky and we say... Mmmmm! A glorious eastern sky greeting for Skywatch Friday

Sunset Rising

Put your soul in the hands of the music, man
You may think you can't be saved, But you can
So let the movement shake your soul
Come on, Come on now take control
And shine like a sunset rising.

Beyond the rising sunset, Truth through the eye
Let the music lift you up to the golden sky
Within a sunset, shining and rising high
So put your soul in the hands of the music, man
Like a sunset rising, music will never die.

-- Mark Hopwood (author of the poem)

 Norah Jones Lyrics

Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like morning in your eyes
But the clocks held 9:15 for hours
Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
'Cause the afternoon's already come and gone
And i said ooh, ooh, ooh, to you

Surprise, surprise
Couldn't find it in your eyes
But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Surprise, surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day

Then I say, oh, oh, oh, to you

And now the night
Will throw its cover down on me again
Oh, and if I'm right
It's the only way to bring me back

Oh, oh, oh, to you
Oh, oh, oh, to you

Grandparenting with a Purpose: Effective Ways to Pray for Your Grandchildren

 Having 5 grandchildren of my own, most living near us and some on the east coast, I love to pray for them. I am enjoying this paperback book by Lillian Ann Penner immensely and will be posting a review sometime next week. Here is my Friday 56

"Father in heaven, I pray ____ will:

• Love sincerely and not fake it
• Run for dear life from evil
• Stand on the side of the good
• Be a good friend
• Take delight in honoring others
• Never be lazy in his/her work, but serve the Lord enthusiastically
• Be glad for all God is planning for him/her
• Be patient in trouble
• Always be prayerful
• Help needy Christians
• Be hospitable
• Bless his/her enemies
• Be happy with others when they are happy
• Share their sorrow, if they are sad
• Get along with others
• Not be stuck up or arrogant. Never think he/she knows it all
• Not pay back evil for evil or hit back
• Discover beauty in everyone

In Jesus' name, Amen."

Take a look at these two refrigerator girls! It seems the little one always wants something to eat from inside "the box", while her mother is preparing "food-to-go" for those little on the run trips. Snacks are important at grandma's house and you'll usually find some blueberries, tangerines and a banana... maybe an animal cookie or two. Linking to Color Connection

Do you have a favorite snack for those on-the-go trips or perhaps a favorite munchie while reading a book?!

Best,
