The Poppies' Blog

And yes, one of those things is my Bible. Mind, it hasn't been quite as long as the photo implies but I haven't read it more than a few minutes here and there in the past week. I miss it!


Another blogger challenged his readers to read through the Bible in a year. I hadn't read through the Bible in a year two years for awhile so I decided it was a good time to start this again. Not sure if it is because my daughter has so changed me or if it is just that I'm older now but I can't remember EVER being so enthralled with what I was reading that I could hardly bear to put it down!


And my little girl loves my Bible too. In fact, she doesn't always like when I read it so she will take it from me to read for me. She is such a lovely little poppet! I know I will be okay for having missed a few days of reading my Bible, I won't get the time back I miss with her, though. She is so good and so patient.


I miss her too. I absolutely adore her! My arms hurt if I go too long without one of her hugs. I'm hoping that starting this business venture will help bring families to the children from Reece's Rainbow or other places throughout the world. I hope all the time this week has been for good. But now, I'm going to go to sleep so I can spend lots of time with her tomorrow. I think I'll read the Bible to her.

(Deuteronomy 11:18-20) Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the door-frames of your houses and on your gates,
