Women are like lionesses at the gate of the home. . . . She guards that gate, and things matter to that family if they matter to her. . . . Sisters, you are each like the lioness at the gate. This means that there has to be some prioritizing. I was taught years ago that when our priorities are out of order, we lose power. If we need power and influence to carry out our mission, then our priorities have to be straight.

4 Generations

While my parents were out here visiting the baby, we drove down to Pageland, SC to visit my dad's parents (Ahma and Papa). I haven't seen them since having the baby, so I was very excited for them to meet their newest great-granddaughter. This makes 3 great-grandbabies for them - all girls! They were absolutely adorable playing with Shaelyn. And she really enjoyed them, too. In fact, she got into a fit of the giggles when my Ahma was holding and playing with her. So while I was there, I had to take some pictures of the 4 generations - my grandparents, my dad, me, and Shaelyn.

Look at this picture - see where I get my nose from?

You can also see in these pictures the little bracelet that Shaelyn is wearing. My friend, Karen, who has a little boy about Shaelyn's age, made that bracelet and three others for Shaelyn. Thanks Karen! Shaelyn loves wearing them - they make her feel like a "lady". (That was for you, Shannon.)
