Annual Olympic Day May 21, 2009

A sweet baby I photographed at our "Sports day".

...... So cute, I like her blue eyes!

What's been happening recently....

Olympic Day was last Thursday. We were out in the park running races and talking to other fellow participants and friends and trying to stay out of the sun. :-)

There were 100 yd, 200 yd, and 50 yd. dashes and hurdles. And the Football Throw, Soccer Kick, and the last and most popular contests: Jump-Rope and Hoola-Hoop races. By 3:30 pm, I was ready to come home to the air conditioned house, and a cool shower!

Then, we left again at 6 pm for our homeschool band concerts. I played "This is My Father's World" on the piano and daddy played along on trumpet. A Father/Daughter duet :-) A few of the same people who we saw at Olympic day earlier were also at the concert that night. A long, busy day for sure! Mommy said I was the unofficial "staff photographer" for Olympic Day! :-)

It was a satisfactory, fun, day for our family!

A cute set of siblings :-)

Elizabeth –
I found your blog through Julia's and have since checked your blog occasionally and enjoy reading it. Some of your projects have inspired me. I noticed that some of your cards photoed use fabric scraps (please correct me if I am wrong) and think that would be a great idea to use up some of those scraps I am loath to throw away! Also, I like one of the dresses you sewed for Lydia (from the archives in March) and am interested in how you made it.

It looks as though you had fun at your homeschoolers' Olympic Day. Our family has been to a few homeschoolers' sports days too.

Sorry for the length of this comment!

In Christ,
Anna

Walking with Christ

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” John 6: 66-67 What does it mean to walk with Christ? I asked this question today. To walk means to move, to go from one physical place to another. Unless you are walking on a treadmill and then you literally go nowhere! To walk with someone else you have to keep up with their pace, whether they walk slower or faster than you. To walk with Christ we need to watch Him and match our stride with His. Not lagging behind, yet also not walking too far ahead of Him either. I know I tend to run ahead to the future in my thoughts and not always listen to what the Lord tells me in the His Word, the Bible. Who are some people who walked with God? Abraham is one who comes to mind. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” Genesis 17:1 Abraham walked so closely with God ...

England Trip -March 2022- (Part 1)

Grandma and I. I last saw her four years ago, too long! Moss covered trees along the road in Dartmoor Sheep on Dartmoor My Grandpa, John Frederick Charles Harvey. At age 9 or 10. Hound Tor (Dartmoor) Abbotskerswell, Devon, England. Widecombe in the Moor. Sunny one minute..... Clouds the next..... My Mum and my Uncle.

Alone

“And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.”” John 8:29 (NKJV) “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?” Psalm 22:1 Jesus Christ was never left alone by His Father, except when He was on the cross. Why did His Father forsake Him when He most needed Him? Because of my sin. God cannot look on sin. Christ took on all my sins in His body and suffered agony, for me! I should have suffered for an eternity in hell, but because The Lamb of God was sacrificed for me, I am going to Heaven! I accepted His gift of salvation, confessed my sins and repented of them, when I was four years old. Hallelujah, what a Savior.
