Life Is Funny: Bees (aka Little Monsters In Yellow Jackets)

By MAD21

I am not a big fan of bugs. I mean, I don't mind them at all when they leave me alone. But that rarely happens. I think they all have a pact amongst themselves that when they see me coming, they all come running, flying, crawling and ...buzzing.

Last week was no different. Tuesday is a busy day for us. Both daughters in school, riding lessons, etc. We usually have a 'picnic in the car' for lunch on the way to the farm after school. I ran out of time to make lunches, so I thought I would be a good Mom and treat my girls to Mc'D's for lunch. We don't eat there very often, so I knew they would be very excited.

So I picked up my youngest from school and we headed to the Golden Arches. Then we headed back to the school to wait for my oldest to get out of class. We sat in the parking lot chatting with another mother. I was eating my hamburger, my youngest was happily munching on her fries and chicken. Then my oldest came out of the building with her class. I'll mention here that it had been about 10 minutes with no bugs (bees!!) in sight.

Fingerprint Friday: Our Little Bees

By MAD21

The website Pampering You (Pamperingbeki) has a really great weekly post it does every Friday called "Fingerprint Friday." This is such a wonderful idea, I couldn't wait to participate. Here is what she says it's all about:

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
          I can see the fingerprints of god
          When I look at you
          I can see the fingerprints of god
          And I know its true
          You're a masterpiece
          That all creation quietly applauds
          And you're covered with the fingerprints of god

So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do you see them?

I don't know about you, but I see God's fingerprints all over everywhere. He tells us He's in plain site, but sadly I think a lot of people miss seeing Him. I find so much joy and blessing in the little things in life. I have two fabulous daughters and a wonderful husband. Together, we go looking for them...
