Dear Grands,
Psalm 59:16-17, “But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength;
Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For You have been my stronghold And a refuge in the day of my distress.
17 O my strength, I will sing praises to You; For God is my stronghold,
the God who shows me lovingkindness.”
Love abundant,

Dear Grands,
Psalm 55:22, “Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you;
He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.”
A burden is something that is thrust upon us; a cross is that which we
willingly assume. Sometimes we think we just cannot bear up under
the weight of our burdens. Just turn them over to Jesus; He can and
will bear them for you. He does not mean that adversities will not
come our way, but that the foundation of our lives will not give way.
He is our foundation; and He will not be moved!
We love you all enormously,
Nana & Dado III

Dear Grands,
Ephesians 5:13-14, “But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light,
for everything that becomes visible is light. 14 For this reason it says, ‘Awake, sleeper,
And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you.’”
Love you, Sleepers,

Dear Grands,
Proverbs 31:10-31, “An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.
13 She looks for wool and flax And works with her hands in delight.
14 She is like merchant ships; She brings her food from afar.
15 She rises also while it is still night And gives food to her household And portions to her maidens.
16 She considers a field and buys it; From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength And makes her arms strong.
18 She senses that her gain is good; Her lamp does not go out at night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hands grasp the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor, And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household, For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
25 Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future.
26 She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27 She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
29 “Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
31 Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates.”
Believe me, there is no one like Nana! And your presence yesterday,
really made her day! Thank you for being here to celebrate her day!
We love you all enormously,
Nana & Dado III

Dear Grands,
Psalm 96:1-4, “Sing to the LORD a new song; Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from
day to day. 3 Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all
the peoples. 4 For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared
above all gods.”
Love you all,
