 And then there were seven!!

   

**This is my 100th post!!

"Christening Benjamin Brett"

"For it was you who formed my inner parts;

you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you, for I am fearfully
and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works..."

Psalm 139:13-14
-The Inescapable God-

   

Dear Ben,
We pray that you will always
be covered by God's grace, love and blessings
each and every day of your life.
We love you as high as the sky!
Love,
gigi and jabo

Kelly decorated Ben's room with a nautical flair.
She made this bunting that hangs around
his crib...a mother's prayer which asks,
"May God Bless Benjamin"
***
*Benjamin was Baptized on March 15, 2014
by Deacon Richard Lurton
at Saint Paul's Catholic Church
in Pensacola, Florida

   Joseph Snyder, Leslie Ann Berg and
Patrick and Katie Whatley
are your Godparents

**I had the verse from Psalms in my mind for
Ben's Baptism blog. When I looked
 it up in my Bible I had it
highlighted in pink crayon and
Kelly's name was was written beside it.
She must have told me at one time
that it was her favorite. <3

"Peanuts"

   "Sometimes you lie in bed at night

and you don't have a single

thing to worry about...

...that always worries me!"

-Charlie Brown

Thanks, Andrew, for providing your
"worry face" for my blog today!
I love you ahats!!

"Abide in Love"

"May love be all I have 

when I pass into

eternity."

   

**This quote is Deacon Patrick Lappert's

wonderful paraphrase of Paul's words from Corinthians...
"And now faith, hope, and love abide,
these three;
and the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13:13
****
During Deacon Lappert's years of medical school
he did not believe in God and actually
set out to prove there was no God to one
of his peers who was very faithful to God.
In his deeply thorough and extensive research
 not only did he find God but was
converted to Catholicism.
He was ordained as a Deacon in January of this year
and is a true blessing to our church community.
His faithfulness inspires many.

Today is Ash Wednesday
Blessings to all as we begin our Lenten journeys.

Precious little Ben finally made his grand arrival!

He is our seventh sweet grandchild and is the
twenty-third great-grandchild for Nanny and Papa!
We are truly blessed and feeling so
thankful for this most wonderful addition!

Ben, we pray that God's love and blessings
will be upon you always!

"Angel"

God above

hear our prayer

bless the children

everywhere.

 

I believe Angie has been watching over us

through our lives...

I have often wondered if it was her who whispered to Clay

that he was going to make it when he was in surgery

as a tiny baby, and was it her who was with Patrick

when he fell 10 feet from a tree, and was it her who 

safely guided our car when Todd fell asleep at the wheel

when we were traveling back to Maine,

and was it her who caused Clay to look up

just in time to keep our entire family from

hitting a tractor trailer on the side of the

road in Birmingham?

Yes, I believe it was...

My granddaughter Katheryn Renee' Aldridge is named after
