"Living for Jesus a life that is true, striving to please
Him in all that I do, yielding allegiance, glad-hearted
and free-this is the pathway of blessing for me.
~~~
Living for Jesus who died in my place, bearing on Calv'ry
my sin and disgrace-such love constrains me to answer
His call, follow His leading and give Him my all.
~~~
Living for Jesus, Wherever I am, Doing each duty
in His holy Name; Willing to suffer affliction and
loss, Deeming each trial a part of my cross.
~~~
Living for Jesus thru earth's little while, my dearest tre-
sure the light of His smile, seeking the lost ones He died
to redeem, bringing the weary to find rest in Him.
~~~
Chorus: O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee,
for Thou in Thine atonement didst give Thyself for me. I
Own no other Master-My heart shall be Thy throne: My
life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone."
This prayer that was latter made into a Hymn was quoted in The Joy of a Word Filled Family by Dr. John S. Barnett. Thomas Obadiah Chisholm wrote these words when he was 51 unable to finish his career, weak, sickly, unemployed, and trying to make a living selling things door to door. Because of his sickly state he spent most of his time sitting at a writing table. He loved to write and wrote more than 1,200 poems, of which 800 were published. What a great example of devotion!
The little thing that I am thankful for is the Meijers Grocery Cart. When we found the Meijers grocery cart, that is pictured here, that had a bench for my two oldest to sit on it made grocery shopping with my little ones so much easier. All I need with it is a few snacks to keep them occupied along the way and we are good to go. Thank you to Meijers for their shopping cart with a bench!
Oh, and let me take a minute to introduce you to Penny the mechanical horse. Penny lives at Meijers. I do not usually let my children ride the toys you find inside and outside of stores, but it only cost a penny (hence her name) to ride and it gives the girls something to look forward to once we are done with the shopping.

Over the last nine months Maddie has been involved in Awana Cubbies at our church, last night was award night. Maddie received a little Cubbie bear for her vest, for learning her all of her verses during this first year of Cubbies.
Maddie has enjoyed and looked forward to Cubbies every Sunday night. It has been such a wonderful blessing to see her so excited about learning her verse every week. It is so neat to see her use her verses to explain what she is learning, how she should treat others, or many other application.
