Recent Incoming LinksMay the Lord in wondrous mercy,
Cause your 'little plant' to grow,
With the 'lillies' of his raising
Where His own pure waters flow.
As a 'little plant' before Him,
May the tender sapling shoot,
And in His appointed season,
Bear the Lord enduring fruit.
Train them by the Holy precepts,
With a dresser's tender care;
Looking to the Lord for guidance,
He is true; and answers prayer.
Watch the 'little shoots' of nature,
And in pruning careful be,
For the knife unwisely wielded,
Often spoils the finest tree.
Prayer will keep the 'weeds' from
gaining
Strength in your domestic soil.
Prayer will help you in attaining
Those fond hopes that none can foil.
Prayer will keep the 'little foxes';
O how watchful you should be!
For they often do such damage
To the little 'growing tree.'
May our gracious God in mercy,
Early save the little one;
And to the dear praying parents,
Wisdom give through His dear Son.

Here are some pictures from the birthday festivities this week. I didn’t get very many good pictures. Chloe ended up being sick on the day of her birthday, so everything didn’t go according to plan, but I think she still had a very fun time turning 4!

One of Chloe’s presents was a package of alphabet/number cookie cutters and we had fun making names with jello.
