SNOW!

Hello Everyone!

How are you today?  Recently dad took several of us out for a while so that we could take some pictures of the snow, the frozen river, and the frozen falls.  It was really pretty with all of the fresh snow and we took some great pictures!

These two pictures (right above and right below) are two of my favorites.  I love the way they came out!  They almost look more like a painting then a photo.  

I thought this one looked really neat with the snowy rocks, the water with the branches in it, and then the way the sky looks.

There were a whole bunch of them out in the middle of the water.

This is one of my favorites.  I like that it shows the snow, the water, and the sky.  I thought it turned out really good.  

I had a lot of fun changing the way pictures are just by putting my camera down by the ground.  I thought it looked neat.  

Here is another where I put my camera near the ground to get a neat view.  

Here is a picture of the frozen falls.  They look really neat when they are frozen!

I was trying to get a picture of the water and the bridge, but it focused on the leaf, and I thought it looked neat so I left it that way.  

I just took some more pictures of the snow and sledding the beginning of this week, so I will post some more on here soon.  Have you had much snow?  Is spring starting to come where you are?  

One of My Favorite Bible Verses

Hello!

How is everyone?  I just wanted to share one of my favorite Bible verses with ya'll.  I have many favorite Bible verses but one of them is 2 Timothy 2:15.  This scripture verse says

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not

to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

• Study means "to apply the mind to; to read and examine for the purpose of learning and understanding".  This confirms that we need to study God's Word.  We ought to strive to learn and understand His Holy Word. 
• The definition of approved is "liked; commended; shown or proved to be worthy".  We need to study the Word of God to show ourselves approved or proved to be worthy.  
• The word ashamed means "affected by shame; abashed or confused by guilt or a conviction of some criminal action or indecorous conduct, which the person is conscious must be wrong".  If we study the scriptures we won't need to be ashamed.  We are guilty, and should be ashamed if we don't study His Word.  

I like 2 Timothy 2:15 because it tells us how and why we should study the scriptures.  

Live For Something

Live for something; be not idle-
Look about thee for employ;
Sit not down to useless dreaming-
Labor is the sweetest joy.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hands are never gay,
Life for thee has many duties-
Live for something, while you may


Scatter blessings in thy pathway!
Gentle words and cheering smiles
Better are than gold and silver,
With their grief-dispelling wiles.
As the pleasant sunshine falleth
Ever on the grateful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness
Gladden well the darkened hearth.

SOME LITTLE FOLKS

There are some little folks that we can never please;
They fret about trifles, they trouble and tease,
Full of discontent, even at play;
Till their friends are worn out, and are heartily glad
When bed-time is come, and each cross lass or lad
Is quiet and out of the way.


There are some little faces so good tempered and sweet
That to see their bright faces is always a treat;
And their friends can quite trust them, they know;
They amuse themselves nicely with some plan or play,
Take care not to worry or get in they way,
And are welcome wherever they go.

I found this poem in a book called CHOICE STORIES FOR CHILDREN. I really like the book. It has a lot of short stories. Sorry about not doing a post lately. We have been busy. Little Lady In Training~

JESUS LIVES

Jesus died but now He lives
Everything we need He gives
So much sin was in the world
Until He died that day
So many sins He washed away

Loudly did the people shout
In Heaven on that day
Verily He shall live forever
Eternally He will reign
Seated at His Father's side

This was my poem for Master Clubs this year (2010).
