My Grandma Verna

Last night we celebrated my Grandma's 88th birthday and we all (from my 2 years old nephew to my parents and grandpa) told my Grandma what we love and appreciate about her. I really could go on and on about how wonderful she is, but I've done that here. But, what struck me about last night was how healthy it was for our kids to see us honoring the elderly.

It was so cute to hear my 2 year old nephew tell Grandma Great that what he loves about her is that she gives him "ama crackers." (animal crackers) We started with the youngest and went all the way up the line. Even Danny and Erica (my brother's wife) told what they love about my Grandma. My Grandpa (who married my Grandma about 20 years ago) also shared what he loved about her. It was so sweet!

I was glad to get a chance to tell Grandma what she means to me, but I was even more glad that my kids got a chance to hear us all telling her. I mean, if they don't see it modeled, who is going to tell me how wonderful I am when I'm 88!!!

Fellowship Questions

I love this post at girl talk. You might not have an accountability partner, but what great questions to ask yourself regularly. I found myself challenged to answer several of them.

• Describe your current practice of the spiritual disciplines.
• What is a passage of Scripture you have been meditating on recently?
• What fruit of the Spirit are you cultivating?
• What sin are you seeking to weaken?
• How can I pray for you?
• Here is an evidence of grace that I observe in your life.
• How are you seeking to grow in expressing biblical femininity?

Good stuff!!

Superbowl

Oh boy was this a sweet, sweet victory! You just gotta love those Manning boys, eh? I watched a post-game show on NFL.com and they showed the most priceless conversation between Eli and Peton. They were like two little boys talking about the game. I loved the footage that they showed during the game of Peton. He was so intense watching his brother and so happy for his victory. I love it when the nice guy wins. And, yes....I also love it when the not-so-nice-guy doesn't win. Nuff' said!

I can't wait to see the commercials those brothers will make now, eh?

Congrats to the Giants on a great game!!
