Word-filled Wednesday - Tower

The purpose of Word-filled Wednesday is to share God’s Word (no famous quotes or other literature—only the beautiful word of our Father) through photos & a Bible verse!

And they said,

Go to, let us build us a city and a tower,

whose top may reach unto heaven;

and let us make us a name,

lest we be scattered abroad

upon the face of the whole earth.

~ Genesis 11:4

This past Sunday, our 9-year-old son built this tower out of Lincoln Logs at my parents' home. He asked me to take pictures and include a verse for Word-filled Wednesday on the tower of Babel. To see more weekend pictures, please visit my family blog. To find more Word-filled Wednesdays, please visit Susan here.

Word-filled Wednesday - Cakes

And the people went about,

and gathered it, and ground it in mills,

or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans,

and made cakes of it: and the taste of it

was as the taste of fresh oil.

~ Numbers 11:8

A friend made this beautiful chocolate cake for another friend's birthday a couple weeks ago. When looking for a verse on cake, I was surprised to find so many to choose from. More birthday party photos can be seen in previous posts and on my family blog.

Word-filled Wednesday - Laughter

The purpose of Word-filled Wednesday is to share God’s Word (no famous quotes or other literature—only the beautiful word of our Father) through photos & a Bible verse!

Then was our mouth filled with laughter,

and our tongue with singing:

then said they among the heathen,

The LORD hath done great things for them.

~ Psalm 126:2

We enjoyed laughter and singing at our dear friend's birthday party last Friday. To view more party pictures, please visit my previous post. To find more Word-filled Wednesdays, please visit Lori at www.allyouhavetogive.com.

Surprise Party

Our good friend Tricia celebrated a milestone birthday yesterday with 50 family members and close friends. Her husband Kevin surprised her by planning this party behind her back. While Kevin whisked Tricia away for an hour, guests arrived at their home with a lasagna dinner from the Olive Garden, an amazing homemade cake, and wood for the bonfire. Several children helped blow up balloons and decorate the house for the happy occasion. When Kevin and Trish arrived at home, she chatted with her parents for a bit before realizing a crowd awaited her in the living room. She was very surprised!
Our friend Lynnette made a stunning chocolate cake, complete with truffles and lace frosting on top. Friends came from far and near to celebrate with Tricia and her family.
She received lots of fun cards and gifts, making light of the inevitable process of aging.
Now she's caught up with me as we head into a new decade together.
Happy Birthday, Trish!
