Under His Wings

“How often I’ve ached to embrace your children, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you wouldn’t let me.”

Matthew 23

Fa La La Llama

Llamas are all the rage now, along with sloths. You can find these animals on mugs, clothes, pretty much everywhere. I can't resist an alpaca, which are almost the same as llamas. We used to have many around here, and I have posted pictures of them. Here are some close to here. How can you resist?

This is a Christmas one in a neighboring yard! 

AND it lights up at night!

I have them on a couple shelves in the kitchen. I found the llama for half price.

The mug on the right I got for a dollar, and the other one was about three dollars.

A mini manicure set! I bought one for a gift and one for myself.

And I found this cozy velour hoodie at Wal-Mart for ten dollars.
