Don't want the day to go by without saying Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad.

Great Grandma helping Evan with some shucking of peanuts.

I believe this was Monday morning after Easter at Great Grandpa and Grandma's.

Ruth with Grandpa while home for Easter.

Ruth with Grandma

This isn't a real clear picture, but it is a picture of Ethan doing his first oral report on a country,

which was Italy. He is just left of the Map with a picture card held up in front of his face. It was the angle the picture was taken. he really didn't have it in front of him completely.

When the Academy and Hope International Missions

had the Festival.

A couple of pictures in front of cars at the Car Show.

Wish it could have been more. Just wanted to let you know we

Love and Miss you Both,

May God Richly Bless and Keep in the center of His Will.

Enjoy the rest of the Evening.

WOW

Women of Worth

This is where the ladies of the church meet

together and have an evening out.

This was the Kickoff for the season.

We have a lot of fun, I really had a great time last night.

Tuesday, October 13, 09.

The Theme for the evening,

Circle of Friends!

Great subject. Sister Ruth Vernon, share with us the workers for the new year.

They have several things that you can participate in.

To name some:

1. Secret Sister's

(This is where you exchange your name, then

you get someone else's name, they don't know you

have them. Through out the time you send them encouraging notes, cards, gifts. What ever, they are trying to guess who you are. But you do to try and keep it a secret, then at the end of the season of WOW, they will reveal).

2. Sunshine Basket

This is where ladies turn in small wrapped gifts, to be placed in a basket. The basket is taken to someone that needs some encouragement. They open a gift a day. I recieved one of these baskets when I had my surgery. It was so much fun to have a gift to open each day. You even get something from someone maybe you don't know. That is really neat. I want to say "Thank You" to those that participated in that for me. It was up such an uplift. Thank you!

3. There are prayer groups

The ladies will meet together for prayer for the children.

4. Bible Studies

~ Either wanting to hold one in your home.

Or attending one.

5. Only One Lighted Candle!

This is where ladies meet together in Dr.Connie Palm's

and we work on things to make for the Mission Field's. It might be things for VBS, or someone that is sick. There are many things that the things are made for.

Then at WOW last night we also played a game which was really neat.

The Speaker of the night :

Sister Kristina Black

She was a wonderful speaker. Thank you Kristina, beautifully done. On Cicle Of Friends.

Below are some pictures that were taken at one of the tables. I had forgot my camera, so I am borrowing their pictures.

In this picture is Tiffany Peterson, behind her I am sorry I do not know her name, if you look over on the right of her is me. There is a gal on the right of the picture, with long hair hanging down, I am left of her
Beings it is fall they decorated with fall colors. But to go with the theme, they used circles of some kind. Notice the circles are the candle, the bowl, then the berries on the branch.

Here is one of the main center pcs.

Can you see circles in this picture?

More circles!

Then here are some cookies, circles with circles on them, plus a "friend."

More circles, these lifesavers were spread all around the dessert table. They did have other kinds of foods, like meatballs (circles), veggies and dip. Cheese and crackers, (more circles).

Then at the end of the evening, we had a "Circle of Prayer", at each table all the ladies at their table stood and held hands and had prayer. It was beautiful I thought.

Thank you Sister Vernon, and the ladies who were all envolved to make it what it was to make it all fall into place. It was a beautiful evening.

I Believe it is God ~ Given!

This is a great video to watch. This is a man who has a gifted "Talent", that God has given him. This is through Autism it is a must to watch. It is worth the watch.

GRANDPARENTS DAY! 2009

At Hobe Sound Christian Academy,

Hobe Sound, Florida

Friday September 11th.

The Teacher who was in charge of the program

had asked me to pray during the program.

I was so Honored to do that for my Jesus!

(This picture is suppose to be down farther, I think you

will catch on where, sorry for the miss print)

After the program they went to the Cafeteria for their snack time.

We brought the boys their snacks. We enjoyed spending their snack time with them

before they had to go back to class. But first on the way to the cafeteria we stopped

for a photo shoot! Here are the three boys, Ethan now 8, Evan now 7, and Easton will be 5 in March. He is in K-4 this year.

This was taken be side the cafeteria, near the Fountain Sq.


By the time I was done getting pictures that I wanted,

there was no one around to take a picture with me in it.
Then as we were walking to the cafeteria here came someone walking by.
I said "sure now you come, now that we are all done." I told him what I
was talking about. And so he consented to take one for us and so he did.
He did a great job didn't he?
Thank Mr. Davis great job!

Then the school Photographer came by our table,
So I asked her if she would take our picture with us all in it.
Great job Mrs. Walker,
Thank You!

I think Easton is enjoying his snack of cheese crackers and turkey slices
along with a can of juice.


Here is Evan enjoying his too!


I think Ethan is liking it too!

Grandpa and Grandma really enjoyed the

Grandparent Program along with being able to share

your snack time with you.

We had fun!

Grandpa and Grandma Love You,

And Jesus Does Too!


I was trying to get a picture of Easton,

He was giving Grandpa a nice big hug,

Everytime I tried to take a picture he would be pulling away.


Grandpa didn't have a blue shirt like the rest of us did,

So Grandma had him where this one.

Thought it couldn't be more appropriate then this.

It all says "World's Greatest Grandpa".

Can't find one any better,

We Love You, Grandpa!

~Jesus, the HEART of Christmas~

Yes, Christmas in August.

We had our KICKOFF for the

Singing Christmas Tree, 2009.

We had such a good time.

This is what you seen when you walked into the

Music Hall tonight.

Come closer,

This is the main food table.

This is the tree we saw as we were entering the Music Room.

As you look at the tree. Look around where the gifts are on the left of the tree.

You can see a set of white mugs. They are trimmed in gold, and they have pictures printed on them. Setting in a gold basket. I told myself that those are going to be mine. Then time came. They picked them up they were the next prize, They drew the name, they had to put the name back, then they called the next name. No for some reason they didn't work either. Then they called my name, Eileen Gerard. Yes I said they were going to be mine.

These are just some of the things, that were given away for door prizes,

They had plenty to give away.

Some of the beautiful Christmas cookies.

We went around the room to find the same.

There was so much more food then we see here.

This is just a little of what was decorated.

More decorations.

This is the choir group. Sorry off to the far right the orchrastra was setting.

The Man that put this all together.Mr. Mark Going, I have found it a real honor to be a part of the Singing Christmas Tree Program. You learn so much even spiritually as we have our practices.

If there would be anyone interested in particepating in the Singing Christmas Tree, contact Mr. Mark Going. Or Hobe Sound Bible Church and they will be able to direct you to him. May God guide you into His Glory, as the days appoach.

December 2, 4-5 time will be given later.
