~Our Mary is 16 Months~

~Mary.............

~This sweet dress for Mary is one of the things we got at that "Fruit Market" in Tigre when U. Charlie and A. Jolie took us there.  I love the collar.~

~Mary takes after her Mommy...she LOVES shoes.  =)  Many times as soon as she gets up in the morning she gets her shoes and brings them to us and says, "Uh? Uh?"  asking us to put them on her.  She may only have a diaper on, but she feels "dressed" as long as she has shoes.  ;-)~

~Had to post this picture...You are seeing the TRUE Mary here! =)~

~So Sweet!~

Pin It Mary says, "Gracias" for "Thank you!" =)

~"Mary" Christmas~

~ It's hard to believe that when I took our little Mary's Christmas pictures last year she looked like this... ~Now...here's this year's Christmas pictures I took of her!  Mary brings so much DeLiGhT to our family!  I was SO HAPPY when I found her this little coat at Goodwill last year!
(She cracks us up how she squats when she stands. =)~

~Precious!~

~She makes our days "Mary" and bright =) (as do our other children =)

~We plan on having ourselves a "Mary" little Christmas! =)~

~"Dear Jesus, Please help us!"~

~Little Mary kneeling down. (Please excuse the "bed head". =)~

(Cousin Nina, My Moma informed me of the physical needs of your parents...and I'm praying for y'all! =)

Well, I'm not a preacher, but I have had something on my heart that I want to share.  A minister was speaking to us in prayer meeting this week and mentioned the verse: 
Mat 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 
It reminded me that we Christians must live as careful as we can.  I believe the 2nd coming of Jesus is very near.  I want to live ready.  The devil would love for us as the Holiness movement to get busy doing GOOD things but not taking time to draw near to God and read and hide His Word in our hearts.  When our family gets to come back to the USA...It scares me when I see the slight changes in some of our dear friends.  Carelessness in the way we are dressing, in our music, etc.  Oh, may God help us each one to be sooo careful to follow God's Road map to Heaven.  God wants a peculiar people.  A people who are "Set Apart"...not ones who are trying to see how close we can get to the world.
Jude 1: 24  Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy...
May God help me, my family, and all of us to be ready for His soon coming.  To be His awaiting Bride without Spot or Wrinkle! =)
