Christmas Angels

These are Faith ( left) and Hope, the Christmas Angels.
I made them yesterday. I might post more pictures of them and others.

Monday's Scripture

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

John 3:16


This verse is always good if you need a boost in life. It was one of the first that I memorized. I love it!

Boots!

Today Leah, Maggie, Grandma and I went to the Shoe Carnival and Kohl's to buy shoes. I got some boots at Shoe Carnival. Here are some pictures.
























I love boots!

Chapter 3

The very next day, the whole family arrived at their new house. Cassandra looked out the window and frowned. It was small, with only two stories. At least it looked neat. Silently, they went inside. Cassandra went up to her bedroom. When she opened the door, she looked around in horror. It was so small. How could all her stuff fit? She couldn’t even lie on her bed and cry. There was only one other bedroom, which was a little bigger. The master bedroom, she thought scornfully. She went down the stairs into the kitchen. Cassandra’s aunt and uncle were standing dismally in the kitchen. It was then that she burst into a flood of tears.

Chapter 2

Their bankruptcy did not affect them very quickly. The next day went normally, beside the fact that Uncle Andrew did not go to work. For a month it did not affect them. But one day, Cassandra came home from her tutor’s house, and there was a large moving van right in front of the house. She ran inside and looked around. It was very empty inside. "Aunt Christiana? Uncle Andrew? Where are you?" she shouted. Right here, dear," a voice came from the sitting room. Cassandra ran into the room, and to her surprise, her aunt was packing boxes. "What’s wrong?" Cassandra asked desperately. "We are moving." Her aunt looked at her gloomily. Then Cassandra rushed from the room, sobbing.

Another Story

Here is another story I am writing. Thanks for the idea, Nehemiah!


CHAPTER 1
Cassandra was a beautiful girl, with her long, raven black hair and luminous green eyes. She was tall and slender. She was also rich. Very rich. She had been ever since her parents died and she had been adopted by her rich aunt and uncle. She had two cousins, but they were grown-up, with children, so they did not have any impact on her life whatsoever. She was rather spoiled and selfish, because her aunt and uncle’s attention was taken up by her, and only her. Cassandra’s uncle brought her presents when came home from his office. She was twelve. A few years went by in this fashion, until one day, Cassandra’s uncle, whom she called Uncle Andrew, came home from his office, his face drawn and gray. "The bank...it lost all its money," he gasped. Cassandra’s aunt, whose name was Christiana, spoke sharply. "You mean... we are bankrupt!" She actually swayed on her feet. She was carried up to bed shortly after, and Cassandra ate dinner in the kitchen alone. She wondered why being bankrupt was bad.

Another Verse

This is also one of my favorite verses:

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
Jeremiah 17:9 (king james)
