Grandkids ~~ Spotlight on Two of Them Today!

RUNNER'S WORLD....
We had a fun morning going to Isabella's Cross-Country Meet this morning. She bested her personal record with a 24:30 on her 5K run!!!! She pushed herself and made it happen!! She will be in the Regionals this next week. We are so very proud of our granddaughter!!! In the first picture, she is third from the left and has the white ribbon around her ponytail.

BIRTHDAY BASH..........
At noon, Brian and Amy hosted a real cute "Candyland" 4th birthday party for Jaden. It was attended by both sets of grandparents, his Uncle Matt, Aunt Mary, and Cousin Morgan, and with the following friends: Kristen with her kids Jacob, Lauren, and Leslee, and Alisha with her daughter Hannah. It was a lot of fun, and Jaden was one excited little boy! I can't wait to see him tomorrow on his actual birthday.

We Are Stepping Out Tonight.....

Titus 2:3-5 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

I guess tonight is a "coming out" party of sorts. Richard and I are FINALLY taking the plunge and are going to our church's "senior saints" meeting tonight. Our group is called "The Triple L" which, I think, stands for "Live Longer and Like It." That sounds like a great motto for us as we have entered into our retirement years. The age minimum for the group is 55. I am 57 but for some reason still don't FEEL old enough to be attending the senior citizens meeting. Many of these folks are precious friends of ours, and I have looked UP to them. It's hard to believe I am now going to identify as one of them. I remember my mother telling me years ago, "Susan, it's best to be one of the younger ones in the group." But you know, Biblically that may not be entirely correct. The Bible says for the older women of the church to teach the younger women. If I am now to be considered one of the older ladies of the church, I had best be about my Heavenly Father's business.
