Green Beans......

.....and mashed potatoes. There are not many things more funny then a babys first food....that they did not like!!!!

Samantha

Psalm 83:3 (King James Version)
They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

"Thick green leaves from the soft brown earth,
Happy springtime hath called them forth;
Mayflowers faint promise of summer bloom
Breathes from the fragrant, sweet perfume,
Under the leaves.

"Lift them! what marvelous beauty lies

Hidden beneath, from our thoughtless eyes!

Mayflowers, rosy or purest white,

Lift their cups to the sudden light,

Under the leaves.

"Are there no lives whose holy deeds-

Seen by no eye save His who reads

Motives and actions -in silence grow

Into rare beauty, and bud and blow

Under the leaves?

"Fair white flowers of faith an trust,

Springing from spirits bruised and crushed;

Blossoms of love, rose-tinted and bright,

Touched and painted with Heaven's own light

Under the leaves.

"Full fresh clusters of duty borne,

Fairest of all in that shadow grown;

Wondrous the fragrance that sweet and rare

Comes from the flower-cups hidden there

Under the leaves.

"Though unseen by our vision dim,

Bud and blossom are known to Him;

Wait we content for His heavenly ray-

Wait till our Master Himself one day

Lifteth the leaves."
