Another Good Read

I read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society this weekend. It was a wonderful and enlightening book about the German occupation of Guernsey during World War II. This is a novel in which the story is told in a series of letters.

Here is a short reading of the book. I hope it intrigues you into a great read.

Jesus Loves The Little Children

Please visit Spiritual Sunday to fill your heart with joy.

Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in his sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

Words written by preacher Clare Herbert Woolston (1856-1927)
Inspired by Matthew 19:14: Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Some have sought to improve on Woolston's original words by inserting the color "brown" between "red" and "yellow."
Some more politically correct modern versions read 'Every color, every race, all are covered by His grace' instead of 'Red and yellow, black, and white, all are precious in His sight.'

Happy Pink Saturday!

Did you take me up on this challenge?

This week I would like to offer each of you a simple challenge. Visit at least one blog that you have never visited before. Then next Saturday include that blog and a link in your post. We all do this on occasion. Quite a few of you have been accepting this challenge, and have met some of the great Pink Saturday participants. Thank you for sharing with us.
****************************

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is another one of my dolls. I'm not certain which Christmas I received her, but I think it might have been 1962.

This week we have one hundred fifty-five (155) participants in Pink Saturday. There are five new participants, and you will find them at the bottom of the list. Let's all take time to welcome them to Pink Saturday. All participants are listed in the order in which they began participating.

Please take the time to visit other participants, and leave a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink. Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community. I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice and talented people. Please refer to my post dated January 8 for more information about Pink Saturday.

Remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 8 a.m. EST Friday. If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.

I want to thank those of you that take the time to leave me a comment. I love reading what you all have to say.

We've Only Just Begun

Every so often I get a song stuck in this brain of mine, and it plays on and on. Does that happen to you?

So, here's what's playing in my head right now. An Oldie Goldie.

Have You Met Sue?

Are you asking yourself Sue who?

The Sue I am referring to is Sue at Collect In Texas Gal.

I met Sue through Pink Saturday. She contacted me just about one month ago, and she said she wanted to participate in Pink Saturday.

Well, let me tell you Sue is just the kind of blogger we all like. She is super nice, lots of fun, loves all of the things we all love, and she has a fantastic blog. She has only been blogging a few months, and she has been busy making friends and welcoming all of us to her wonderful posts.

And, she has a new grandson.

So do yourself a big favor by going over to Sue's for a visit. You will be so glad you did, and please tell her I sent you. You will soon be calling her your friend, too.

A New Friend
