Let's hear it for "working" mothers
Sunday, April 22, 2012 at 02:44PM My daughter sent me this video.
I think that solves it.
Now I'm all stoked about the 2012 Olympics. London, baby!

Insist on yourself; never imitate.
Your own gift you can present
every moment
with the cumulative force
of a whole life’s cultivation;
but of the adopted talent of another
you have only an extemporaneous
half possession.
That which each can do best,
none but his Maker can teach him.

REMEMBRANCE
When I am gone
Please remember me
As a heartfelt laugh,
As a tenderness.
Hold fast to the image of me
When my soul was on fire,
The light of love shining
Through my eyes.
Remember me when I was singing
And seemed to know my way.
Remember always
When we were together
And time stood still.
Remember most not what I did,
Or who I was;
Oh please remember me
For what I always desired to be:
A smile on the face of God.

The Promise Of Redemption
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; we also believe, and therefore speak;
Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
II Corinthians 4

THE DREAMERS
In the dawn of the day of ages,
In the youth of a wondrous race,
'Twas the dreamer who saw the marvel,
'Twas the dreamer who saw God's face.
On the mountains and in the valleys,
By the banks of the crystal stream,
He wandered whose eyes grew heavy
With the grandeur of his dream.
The seer whose grave none knoweth,
The leader who rent the sea,
The lover of men who, smiling,
Walked safe on Galilee --
All dreamed their dreams and whispered
To the weary and worn and sad
Of a vision that passeth knowledge.
They said to the world: "Be glad!
"Be glad for the words we utter,
Be glad for the dreams we dream;
Be glad, for the shadows fleeing
Shall let God's sunlight beam."
But the dreams and the dreamers vanish,
The world with its cares grows old;
The night, with the stars that gem it,
Is passing fair, but cold.
What light in the heavens shining
Shall the eye of the dreamer see?
Was the glory of old a phantom,
The wraith of a mockery?
Oh, man, with your soul that crieth
In gloom for a guiding gleam,
To you are the voices speaking
Of those who dream their dream.
If their vision be false and fleeting,
If its glory delude their sight --
Ah, well, 'tis a dream shall brighten
The long, dark hours of night.
> Edward Sims Van Zile <

Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it, have never known it again.

Oh wow - what a great video! I'm ready for the Olympics too. :)
Amen to that. We have a mom, whose daughter is playing beach volleyball, hopefully at the London games, in our furniture restoration workshop. Boy, one has no idea how hard it is for these athletes. Thanks Jennifer.
First of all, this new background is beautiful!! And the video brings tears to my eyes. My daughter and I chauffeured both of my granddaughters to many, many dance classes over the years.We then watched proudly as they entered state competitions and came away with trophies, and always thanking us also for our sacrifices. Never made it to the olympics, but realize what sacrifices have to be made to get there. Hooray for these "working" Moms............And we love watching the Olympics.............G.
Beautiful! It's funny, but the news is now coming out that Michelle was the mastermind behind the attack on Ann Romney. Thank goodness the vicious meddling backfired!
I'm also enjoying your new look here! I need to change out my background & header this week.
Great video! And I love the pink and your new picture. Love you!
Hi Jennifer: Thanks for stopping by. No I'm not making shoes, I wish, I could use a red pair as well. I always thought I'd be a shoe designer, but we've sent so much of our production abroad that that was not to be. The wooden form was from a shoe manufacturing place that went under when free trade came to us. I didn't link to Sky Watch, forgot. I wish I had the guts to do that, my friend is up there, she's so brave, and she checked it off her bucket list. She loved it! How is the prince doing? and what are the little princess' thinking of him? Love seeing them, there is a definite Godly presence in children.
Watching that video makes me tired, ha.
The Bible has a lot to say about women, wives, mothers, and all they do. Some things don't change throughout history.
What a tear jerker!!Hahaaaa...THANKS!!Hahaaa....
Guess I'll have to watch as well....
I had quite the time getting onto your site for some reason. Kept telling me you didn't exist...Then I clicked on Home and there you were...hummmm
