Children's Book Review

Today I am reviewing the children's book " The Tallest of the smalls" written by Max Lucado and illustrated by Maria Monescillo. This is a parable from from his book Fearless(not a children's book).This is a story about a boy named Ollie who lived in the town of Stiltsville ,who wanted to be loved and feel he was special .Each evening at six , they handed out stilts. Which everyone wanted, to be in the "in crowd". Ollie was short and had patches on his pants . He really wanted to be given those stilts so he could fit in and feel good about himself. Finally one day his name was called and he got his chance at wearing the stilts . But, things did not turn out well for him and he fell off. Then,someone came and helped him , a person who loved him unconditionally . I think you can guess who that was. Jesus, the only one who really validates our worth.

I love this book and it's wonderful message for kids in this world where they are given so many messages about how to fit in and be accepted . Unconditional love is what they seek and that is how our Lord loves us. I read it to my grand kids and they loved it ;I recommend it.

Below is a video of Max Lucado telling about the book,

Spiritual Sunday

Welcome to Spiritual Sunday , To visit our host& others who are sharing their heart this Sunday click HERE.

Today I have the 100 Psalm

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness!Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,and his courts with praise!Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;his steadfast love endures forever,and his faithfulness to all generations.

And a Poem

This is Thanksgiving by Richie A. Tankersley

Families close-gathered with love-gentle faces ,

memories of friendships and warm special places,

heads bowed in prayer with hand touching hand,

the smile-to-smile message each heart understands...

This is true happiness.....

this is Thanksgiving........

And a Prayer

My prayer is that we all would honor & thank the Lord, Jesus for his many blessings & that we then will enjoy the great Love & Blessings he has given us. May you have the most Blessed Thanksgiving ever !
Love in Christ,

Today I have a country drive on the way to my granddaughter's riding lesson . I have beautiful country side surrounding where I live . First we start out of my drive way onto the dirt road I live on.




Most of the pics are taken from driving by. Here is a horse grazing . There are a lot of horses around.
Here is a country Church complete with a graveyard.
Hay rolled & left to dry in a field.
We are not there yet, but here is a preview , this is Jasmine with Eeyore the horse she will ride today.
On the way we past a park flooded from the Nor'easter that passed through here last week.

We have turned off now on to the road of Steppin Heaven Farms, (click on name to visit website) the Horse Farm we are going to in Louisburg , NC( In the south , they are called Horse Farms & not Ranches I don't know why , I think it probably has to do with size )
Here are are some of the horses, there are goats & sheep also.( & cats )
We have made it , There is Jasmine on Eeyore with her riding instructor in the background.
I hope you enjoyed this Outdoor Wednesday. I loved having you along,
Be sure to come again .8~)
