Makes me smile

2011-01-20T22:51:00.000-08:00

All My Children make me smile.
Especially when they accomplish
something that makes them smile.
My youngest Daughter has a Blog,
called 'A Lifes Design'.
She worked hard to get her degree,
at Auburn University, in Interior Design.
(Anyone one out there following
College football has heard the Cry
"War Eagle", after AU won the
BCS National Championship this year)
I'm so proud to announce I got a Big smile,
when Megan was featured
as one of the Trendsetters in Birmingham
Home and Garden Magazine for her Artistic
Interior Design.

I'm so proud of you Megan ☺

Open with Prayer

2011-01-18T02:06:00.000-08:00

Some times we feel so small in this world.
So Begin your New Year with a Prayer...

Father in faith I bow to You
in total submission.
Your word declares that you
alone control the
universe and everything in it.

Every Circumstance of my life
has been sifted
through Your loving hands,
and today I will rest
in that comforting truth.
~Kay Arthur~
from: Search My heart, O God
God will lead us by His loving hand.

What's a "donk donk"?

2010-09-13T03:39:00.000-07:00

What's a Donk Donk?
My daughter Megan won an Itouch

and we all were amazed!
At how quickly my Grand daugther

learned to find the Games and play them...

she loves to "touch" the Apps
And says "donk" when she picks them.

So her mother got one from Ebay...
Now its really sad when my 25 yr old son,

begs his 3yr old niece to play with the
"donk donk".... Haha.
I guess I'm going to have to get one
so they won't fight...

SSShhh... I want one to.
Apple you named it wrong its not
an Itouch its a "donk donk".

I Remember

2010-09-11T22:18:00.000-07:00

I Remember

The face of Evil

Even though
I walk
through the

the shadow
of death

I will fear

NO EVIL

I Remember

for YOU are

LONG TIME

2010-07-01T01:41:00.000-07:00

A RAY OF HOPE

Long Time

to be away.

Long Time

but listen, come what may.

Long Time

Where have I been you say?

Long Time

Well, you missed me. Hey!

Long Time

I've been finding my new way.

Long Time

That chapter has come to an end. YEAH!

Long Time

I know. I'm Happy. It's a new Day.

Long Time

The clouds have moved I see the Sun's RAY of Hope.

This is a little poem I wrote about being away from The Art of Living on my Blog for a "Long Time". In the coming weeks I see a ray of hope that I will be able to add to it once again. Its all about living, sometimes life just happens and we pause from somethings for awhile. I hope you will come back and read my new posts and join me with your comments. Its all about life, and it all GOOD, thank you Jesus.

I Found YOU

2009-11-23T23:41:00.000-08:00

Find a guy who calls you beautiful

instead of hot,

who calls you back

when you hang up on him,

who will lie under the stars

and listen to your heartbeat,

or will stay awake

just to watch you sleep...

wait for the man who

kisses your forehead,

who wants to show you off

to the world

when you are in sweats,

who holds your hand

in front of friends,

who thinks you're just as pretty

without makeup on.

One who is constantly reminding you

of how much he cares

and how fortunate he is to have you.

The one who turns to people

and says "that'S her".

What will be Under the Tree

What will Jesus leave for Me

What will I have to earn

What will I give in return

What will I have of worth

What will I leave of value on earth

What will I receive as a gift

What will I do if it is to heavy to lift

I will leave it under the tree

for I know

Jesus

has taken care of it for Me

..."as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."(Joshua 24:15)

If you read "About Me" in my side bar the first thing you will learn is that I'm an Airforce Brat. My Daddy served 23 years in the Airforce, while the U.S. fought two wars ( The Korean and Vietnam war).

We recently learned my Daddy has an incurable Lymphoma Cancer, probably due to exposure to Agent Orange.

Thats the bad news, the "HAPPY" news is my Daddy and our family believe GOD

is in control and has a plan for us all; and my Daddy has not let this news control his "HAPPINESS".

I want to Thank My Daddy for his service to our Country, and all the Men and Women who have and are giving of themselves for our Liberty.

God Bless you all.

My Daddy has always been Pop

to his Grand Children.

Take a look at the video's of My

"Happy" Daddy.

With his Great Grand Daughter

Who has choosen to call him Poppy.

I love you Daddy

Happy Day

2009-08-27T01:38:00.000-07:00

There are many happy days in my Memory,

There is one

That happened three years ago

on Aug 26th.

My baby Girl got married.

A Beautiful

and most fun day in my memory.

And a little teary eyed to,

when I remember

the moment

as about to walk away from her,

I looked back at my

Sweet Sunflower Girl.

Only minutes later I knew she would

change,

she would be a Wife.

We love you TJ.

And Thank

God

for the blessed union between you

and our Always precious Daughter.

TODAY

She is TWO

She plays peek-a-boo

She talks on a cell phone

and hold up her hand

and tells you "I Two"

With anticipation

{and tears}

amazing thing she will do

My Daughter has done a wonderful job

training my Grand daughter,

that is only 2,

to swim under water.

Looking at these pictures

brings back memories

of the day's that my 3 babies

would lay in my arms and totally

trust me while I would float

them in the water.

And they all Loved the game

to count with me and on 3

under water we would go.

I really enjoy getting to float away

with my Grand daughter again.

My Grand daughter

is like a little mermaid.

We will have to find an

indoor pool for the winter.

Hi,,, I am Awake in Him

2009-07-04T01:56:00.000-07:00

Where have you been? Some may ask.

Though I have been

on some what of a Hiatus

I have not been in Time out.

I have been on an intermission

from the portion of my life

involving the computer.

Instead

I have been busy in my

Marvelous Life,

involving my work, my Friends,

and my Family.

Although I have missed sharing the Blessings

that have kept me away

from the keys of my computer.

Never fear..............

I WILL catch you up.

My Lord and Savior

Jesus the Messiah has

"Awakened"

me to share my life

and his word with you:

" As for me,

I will continue beholding Your face [Jesus] in righteousness,

I shall be fully satisfied,

when I AWAKE in Your likeness"

Psalms 17-15

We will see Jesus face to face,

so I will tell of His Love,

and declare the Salvation

you can receive

if you put your faith in Him

for your eternal heritage.

What we invest on earth we can not

take to Heaven with us.

On earth He will reward us

with a Shield to protect our Salvation

and light our path with

His joyous message,

that your hearts desire

can be fulfilled with His guidance.

I am Awakened

to praise Jesus, and to share the

JOY and BLESSINGS

He has given me.

Hallelujah!

Full of Blessings

Ephensians 6:3 Teaches us

...if we honor our Father and Mother,

God PROMISE'S,

you will have a long life on earth,

FULL of blessings.

Rita (Dugan) Evanochko/Grammy

We have been honored this month

to be able to enjoy moments and

make memories with my husbands Mother.

Some may consider that she

has already lived a long life

{she is getting on in her birthday's

coming close to the Big 90}

We were privileged to watch her

getting to know her first Great Grand Child,

our oldest daughter's little sweet pea. Who

laughed with and LOVED her Great Grammy.

A busy month, she also celebrated our

Son's College Graduation with us

at Auburn University.

We enjoyed having her with us for our

Memorial Day Gathering at my Parents home.

We've been busy shopping and out to eat,

She is always sooo sweet to buy us a treat.

I've found two new things,

after all these years of knowing her

that she and I share a Love for,

Donuts and to my surprise Mosaic's.

As an Artist I mosaic many things,

and after introducing her to how its done,

she got hooked, and created many Crosses.

Our last adventure will be a road trip

to Key West, Florida, to watch our neice,

my mother-in-laws Grand Daughter

get married on the beach.

After the wedding,

Mom, as I have always called her,

will be returning home to New Jersey

where she still lives in the home

she bought 56 years ago, with her husband,

Frank, (our Pop) who has gone to be with Jesus.

I pray she returns home

FULL of BLESSINGS

bestowed upon her by our

Lord Jesus the Messiah.

It has been our pleasure and honor

to have her spend this time with us.

I see Red, White, and Blue

2009-05-22T13:56:00.000-07:00

If you read my profile you will read

all about what a brat I was.

An Airforce brat that is. So I have seen a lot

of red, white and blue all my life.

And if you look all around you,

you will see that God

does bless America,even in Nature.

RED sunset, with WHITE clouds,

in the BLUE ski.

And Here...

I pray this weekend

that you all will remember

all those that serve our county

and their families that miss them,

while they are at their post.

..."as for me and my house

we will serve the Lord".

Joshua 24:15

God Bless America...

JOY DOESN'T DESCRIBE IT

2009-05-17T01:01:00.000-07:00

Is there a word to describe

this much Joy!

I looked in the thesaurus

and couldn't find

one word.

There was, exhilaration,

jubilant, exultant, delight,

elation, And Bliss;

but even they

didn't seem to say,

REALLY! HAPPY!

More Memories

2009-04-14T00:46:00.000-07:00

I added more Memories to hold in my heart

this Easter.

As the Lord God blessed us with

His presence and supplied us with Joy.

With each draw of my breath the Greatness

of the Living Lord, Jesus the Messiah,

fills Me up with Hope, Peace and Love.

He has given Me treasures through out

my Life here on Earth,by Blessing me

with a mind filled with Memories,

and a heart filled with Love.

But He is prepareing a "storehouse"

of His BEST, for all that ask Him

and have Faith to Believe in Him.

The LORD will open the heavens,

His rich storehouse, for you.

He will send rain on your land at the

right time and bless everything you do....

Deuteronomy 28:12

Jesus Has Risen, Happy Resurrection Day!

2009-04-12T02:48:00.000-07:00

Blessed be the God and Father of our

Lord Jesus Christ the Messiah,

who according to His great mercy

has cause us to be born again

to a living hope through the

resurrection of Jesus Christ

from the Dead...

I Peter 1:3

Celebrate! Celebrate!

2009-04-10T22:12:00.000-07:00

Happy Easter!

Easter is not the day

of the death of Jesus Christ.

It is a return to life.

A blessed time to celebrate

the rebirth of our living savior,

" the Lamb of God who takes

away the sin of the world"

John 1:29

With whom we will share everlasting life.

The Cross Is The Way To God

2009-04-10T13:39:00.000-07:00

Take "your cross" to Jesus

and He will see you through.

Whatever your cross maybe it leads to

God The Father and to Eternity.

...If anyone

wants to be a follower of mine,

let him deny Himself

and take up the cross

and follow Me.

Matthew 16:24

Worth A Thousand Words

2009-03-26T22:53:00.000-07:00

It is said...

"A picture is worth a Thousand words".

As an Art teacher

I don't know how many times

I said that to my students,

to encouage them to be "Artists"

for 50 minutes, once a week.

But it all came together

when they saw THEIR picture

up on the wall in the school hallway.

My favorite thing was to walk down

the hallway and hear a sweet voice say,

"right there Mom, thats MY picture".

Sometimes I would catch a teenager,

that never claimed and interest in 'ART',

staring at a Masterpiece, they created.

A THOUSAND WORDS could not

describe the heart felt Joy in me,

knowing I was a small part of that

moment of pride, and pleasure,

stirred up in the heart of that child.

I hope you get the picture.

Wednesday WITHOUT Words

Much Joy and Love, Mona

March 22Just gonna let everyone know Elijah isn't doing so good today. Had a really long night of throwing up and the whole heap. His temp was back and forth and hit 100.9 this morning. His base line is 96. He is getting blood right now and I hope that perks him up a little. He has been out of it most the whole day. Just laying there breathing only to open his eyes occasionally. He looks rough right now. Please pray he doesn't go septic on me. Please pray for a turn around sooner rather than later. We have about 5 more days before his cells get to work. Please pray for him this next week. I hope all is well with all of y'all and thank you all for your prayers!!! Gary, Vasiliki, ELIJAH, and Dimitra

Jesus is their peace, comfort, strength, and understanding in a time like this.

We just found out that Elijah has the Flu!!! This

is very serious we need everyone praying very

hard for Elijah right now. Love the Seritt family

update Wednesday 18,2009

Posted 2 hours ago

We need some prayers right now. We just found out Elijah has the flu. I cant stress how serious this could become. Elijah had his transplant monday and his counts are just now starting to drop. He has about 2 more weeks before his cells will even start working. We need those cells to get to work fast!! He has nothing to fight this with! I cant believe we have come this far to catch the flu at such a crucial time.

Dear family and friends,

Some have already contacted me to tell the Seritt's they are praying. I know they would like to hear from you even if you are a stranger. Gary has thanked people many times and said how it helps to know that are caring people out there. Please feel free to take a moment to say you heard from Mona and Bill E., and want to say you care and are praying.

I realized you don't know where to write so I'm inclosing the way you can leave a message in BROWN below. Just imagine if they got a message from everyone I contacted and everyone you know, and they know, and they know. What a great, feeling. I know it would help me, and has, during a hard time I went through. But not this hard.

This is the Prayer I sent them, You can let them know your Praying. I think the more people that leave a message the better.

You can forward this post to your friends that I”m sending you on this blog, and copy and paste, and attach this message to all people you know.

To contact Gary and the Seritt's:

http://www.carepages.com/carepages/ElijahSeritt

type in ElijahSeritt in search, [all one word] and it will take you to his site.

And anyone can leave a message or a Prayer.

I love you, All

We are Praying... Bill and I
And I have been sending a message about Elijah to all that I know, in my Email Address book. And I sent a message for Prayer to Jesus right now.the Messiah, tonight at 11.

When I read your email. I'm Praying you will Believe Jesus is with you, and God the Father, Love's Elijah more than you do. And the Holy Spirit is not defeated, and The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are together, just like

when your fingers come together when your hands are folded together to pray. Put your hands together in Prayer, fold your hands together now as I do and together we will all Pray for the Trinity to begin the Work of His Plan.

Have no Fears. Don't just pray give Him your all and I will too. God wants your all and wants the Best for Elijah. And They are in the Miracle making business.
May The Trinity make a Miracle for Elijah.

The best way to get through the Week

take time to DANCE, DANCE DANCE!

I HOPE YOU DANCE............

A Time for Everything

¹ There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under heaven:

² a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

³ a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

⁴ a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and

a time to dance,

⁵ a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

⁶ a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

⁷ a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

⁸ a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace

Unexplained Joy

2009-02-08T22:00:00.000-08:00

I have had many simple Joys and blessings in my Life.

I keep many memories of those special Joys close to my heart.

Some times my heart opens up to an unexpected moment

as if God is giving me an exquisite gift.

And what God gives me is never lost...

it is kept in my heart forever.

One of the sweetest Gifts God gave me...

is my children.

These are my Children

Melise Britton Megan

The treasure of memorable moments

are filled with that of tiny hands

and tiny feet,

of quiet times together,

of warm and Loving hugs and kisses,

of holding on to a small hand,

and of letting it go so they could grow.

My eyes have seen a glimpse of God,

through watching my children grow.

I'm sure God has laughed with me

when ever I have laughed

with my children and

God must know the simple delights

of being a parent,

because I am His child.

One of the sweetest gifts

that life can bring,

is when you know the plans

that God has made for your children

are unfolding before you

and you know

He holds eternity in His hands.

My Grand Daughters Confessions

2009-02-07T22:00:00.000-08:00

HEY!!!,

I want to tell you about these people,

I think God gave them to me.

Their Odd, but wonderful,,,

their called Grandparents.

I'm only 18 months old,

but

I would advise you to get some.

I found out

mine will do some silly,

but entertaining things...

that really make me laugh!

Grandaddy

will play in my ball pit with me,

and put on crazy things

and dance with my friends...

My Gege

will slide with me

through curly tunnel slides...

and run with me through sand...

They are both good swingers...

wwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeee

And they really like to take me

to some interesting places

and we have some real fun there...

The best Thing about My Grand parents

is that I can play some

pretty interesting games with them.

This one was fun!!!

"Ok Grandaddy I'll stick this on your nose",

"and Gege this one's for your nose",

"and this one's for mine",

"and now we match"!

I teach my Grand parents lots of stuff,

they learn pretty fast...

"All you do Grandaddy

is turn that shiny ball

and then we can go out side".

"See close up your fingers like this,

it's easy"!

" I've got this Gege",,,

"Go,Grandaddy, Go,

it IS fun dancing to the "Boss"!!

"All you do is put this

right there in that space".

My Grand Parents are pretty incredible.

All they want is a huggy moment.

And I even have fun when we do that.
