Cute Ciddos! ;)

Last night I had the wonderful privilege of babysitting. I LOVE BABYSITTING! I always have and always will. Taking their pictures are almost just as fun. To capture the smiles and bundles of joy in a second is what makes me smile....and sometimes laugh! One of the little girls last night told me that when she grew up she wants to be a babysitter. How true is that? I giggled and gave her my consent on such a fabulous choice. =]

Bless His Holy Name

*The soul of every living being shall bless Your Name, Hashem, our God; the spirit of all flesh shall always florify  and exalt Your remembrance, our King. From This World to the World to Come, You are God, and other than You we have no king, redeemer or savior. Liberator, Rescuer, Sustainer, and Merciful One in every time of distress and anguish we have no king but You! - God of the first and of the last, God of all creatures, Master of all generations, Who is extolled through a multitude of praises, Who guides His world with kindness and His creatures with mercy. HaShem neither slumbers nor sleeps. He Who rouses the sleepers and awakens the slumberers, Who makes the mute speak and releases the bound; Who supports the fallen and straightens the bent. To You alone we give thanks. Were our mouth as full of song as the sea, and our tongue as full of joyous song as its multitude of waves, and our lips as full of praise as the breadth of the heavens, and our eyes as brilliant as the sun and the moon, and our hands as outspread as eagles of the sky and our feet as swift as deer - we still could not thank You sufficiently, HaShem, our God and God of our forefathers, and to bless Your Name for even one of the thousand thousand, thousands of thousands, and myriad myriads of favors that You performed for our ancestors and for us. You redeemed us from Egypt, HaShem, our God, and liberated us from the house of bondage. In famine You nourished us and in plenty You sustained us. From sword You saved us; from plague You let us escape; and from severe and enduring diseases You spared us. Until now Your mercy has helped us, and Your kindness has not forsaken us. Do not abandon us, HaShem, our God forever. Therefore, the organs that You set within us, and the spirit and sould that You breathed into our nostrils, and the tongue that You placed in our mouthe - all of them shall thank and bless, praise and glorify, exalt and revere, sanctify, and declare the sovereignty of Your Name, our King. For every mouth shall offer thanks to You; every tongue shall cow allegiance to You; every knee shall bend to You; every erect spine shall prostrate itself before You; all hearts shall fear You, and all innermost feelings and thoughts shall sing praises to Your Name, as it is written: "All my bones shall say: 'HaShem, who is like you?' You save the poor man from one stronger than he, the poor and destitute from one who would rob him." Who is like unto You? Who is equal to You? Who can be compared to You? O great, mighty. and awesome God, the supreme God, Creator of heaven and earth. We shall laud, praise, and florify You and bless Your holy Name, as it is said: "Of David: Bless HaShem, O my sould, and let all my innermost being bless His holy Name!"

*A prayer from the Sidur read every Shabbos! ;) Isn't it pretty????
