Consider Cheri's fun projects for kids. Their great for a rainy day! 1. Get creative! In a bag, put blank paper, pencil and index cards with titles for stories that relate to your child’s interests. Have him pick a card, write a story and illustrate it. 2. For bubble-blowing blasts, mix liquid dishwashing soap and a spoon of glycerine. Let your child have fun with a straw, a soda six-pack plastic top, or a colander. 3. T-shirt Paint Shop: Using acrylic-base paints, design your own t-shirt. Cut spongest in funny shapes, dip in paint, then press on shirt. Glue on lace, buttons, or “jewels.” 4. For Rainy Days: Make a Genius Kit—Give each child a bag filled with 10 to 20 of the same items (pencils, toothpicks, spools, any household goods). Using only these, the child designs something that can be used for a purpose, such as a hammer, measuring stick, or whatever he dreams up. 5. Dress Up: Fill a box with dress-up clothes, costumes, props, hats—whatever treasures your attic holds. Your kids can spend hours pretending. by Cheri Fuller, wm Contributing Writer, and author of When Mothers Pray, and Unlocking your Child's Learning Potential, among others. cheri@cander.net or visit http://www.cherifuller.com *****************************AD********************************** You can advertise your event, ministry, or book here.

LEADING WOMEN IN THE NEWS: Delanna O'Brien O'Brien, Reccord Speak of Lessons Learned through pain By Martin King ALPHARETTA, Ga. (BP)--They both spoke of pain and suffering, but their messages were about faith and hope. Last September, Dellanna O'Brien, executive director of Woman's Missionary Union, suffered a paralyzing stroke but talked about the blessings resulting from her struggles during chapel at the North American Mission Board May 18. She was introduced by Robert E. "Bob" Reccord, NAMB president, who has been experiencing nearly debilitating back and neck pain for more than six weeks. Both credited the Lord with providing sufficient grace. "God stands ready to strengthen and enable each of us who will call upon his name," said O'Brien, who was initially paralyzed on her right side, with her speech affected. "Disappointments, failures and, yes, even strokes may come to each of us. Do not be afraid. Be still. Let God work in you, fight in you, be strength in you." Walking carefully and with some assistance, but speaking clearly and passionately, O'Brien said the lessons learned in distress are "many and varied." She said she decided to supplement her speech therapy by reading the Psalms aloud. "I knew the discipline would be helpful in reclaiming the reproductions of sound, but was unprepared for the powerful spiritual exercise it would be. Many verses became my catechism." She credited prayer support for much of what she has learned. "Patience was an answer to the overwhelming prayer support from friends and strangers alike," O'Brien said. "What a blessing to know the prayer power poured out on my behalf." O'Brien continues therapy and has announced her retirement in September. from Baptist Press, May 21 7.

See it at http://www.womensministry.net/IdeaBank/inspirationsub.htm Her conclusion reads: Sometimes when we least expect it, God is working on our behalf to enhance the journey that we are on. Although we may not see with our natural eyes the hand of God, he desires us to walk in the Spirit, so that we may hear by the Spirit, the good and fruitful things he has prepared for us.
