This is a delightful book! I spent part of Sunday afternoon reading it aloud to my husband & I. The illustrations are just wonderful and it includes 'The Flopsy Bunnies' and 'The Tale of Mr.Tod'. The price on this is $8.99 but I got it for only $2.49 at Ollies, brand new. I highly recommend it and then some. Books are wonderful friends. Sometimes they create sunshine in the heart and this is one that did just that for me. What are you reading? thinking of the verse, whatsoever ye do , do all to the glory of God! =) I Corinthians 10:31b

Children's? I know a Grammie or two who loves it, too.

I was so glad Miss Potter was something my grandchildren could watch. I, uh... loaned(?) my copy to my daughter. My daughter in NEW ENGLAND. Someday I will get it back but I have great joy knowing four little ones enjoy it as much as their mom.

I think it brings the book to life for them.; 2:03 PM
Marie said...: Oh, I was always pleased when my littles picked a Beatrix Potter to read. I could wallow in her paintings and wonderful prose all day.; 7:35 PM

Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I hope you'll be back again.
I enjoyed reading a few of your posts. Very interesting editorial on Obama. I hope people are starting to see what he is like.
I love the Tale of Peter Rabbit. ALways thought Peter got a bad deal. He was just doing the normal exploring thing that boys do! There is a wonderful movie I really enjoyed about the life of Beatrix Potter, called Miss Potter. I'd recommend it.
I love Mary Engelbreit too just beacause her stuff is so cheerful. Seems we have some things in common!

My Testimony

I was saved when I was 32 years old. We had evangelistic meetings the week of Mother's Day. When asked by the evangelist if I died tonight would I be sure I would go to heaven. I answered...'I hope so'. He answered, 'young lady, heaven is a 'know so' place'. He asked me to sit up front the next day in church, and the message was 'Hell will be filled with 'good' people'. The first one third of the message I sat in the pew and reviewed to God and myself what a 'good' person I really was. Not! The Holy Spirit of God brought conviction to my heart so vividly, that I clearly remember not needing to hear any more of the sermon. God's word had reached ME! I was a sinner on my way to Hell. I couldn't wait to go forward and pray, accepting Christ as my Saviour. I believed on him that day and received Him personally by repentance and prayer, confessing my need of salvation. Hell will be filled with good people all right, BUT good only in their own eyes. God alone is sinless and 'good'.

"ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23 "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is mad unto salvation.

Romans 10: 9 & 10 Verse 13 says this, 'for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.' John 1:12 & 13 says, 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.'
