Welcome Heart, Sue Donaldson, Speaker

I love God's surprise treats. The best one came when I found out I was expecting at age 43...people did asked if we were surprised - I said it was more of a shock. We got over it a few months later when Mary Grace was born March 6, 1996. She turned 14 on Saturday and you may have heard the noise - 13 girls on a downtown scavenger hunt in the middle of downpour, Taboo and Murder later on at the house. We loved it. I survived and she was a happy camper.

Look for a surprise treat from God in your life today - He loves treating us - maybe not a new baby...but then again, there are worse things!

With the help of Deb Weeks, the birthday flag made another hit appearance - Mary Grace chose a cell phone as her symbol for this year. Wonder why? Not sure how she lived before she finally got one this Christmas--not exactly a surprise since she had been begging for months - but, still a treat from her daddy.
