2 Chronicles 22-23

An original Frye skit

Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, a granddaughter of Omri.

He too followed the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother encouraged him to act wickedly. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as the house of Ahab had done, for after his father’s death they became his advisers, to his undoing.




Ahaziah's mother Athaliah



When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family of the house of Judah.








But Jehosheba,the daughter of King Jehoram, took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the royal princes who were about to be murdered and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram and wife of the priest Jehoiada, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid the child from Athaliah so she could not kill him. He remained hidden with them at the temple of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.




In the seventh year Jehoiada showed his strength...



Jehoiada and his sons brought out the king’s son and put the crown on him; they presented him with a copy of the covenant and proclaimed him king. They anointed him and shouted, “Long live the king!”



When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and cheering the king, she went to them at the temple of the Lord. She looked, and there was the king, standing by his pillar at the entrance. The officers and the trumpeters were beside the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets, and musicians with their instruments were leading the praises.



Then Athaliah tore her robes and shouted, “Treason! Treason!”



Jehoiada the priest sent out the commanders of units of a hundred, who were in charge of the troops...



and said to them: “Bring her out between the ranks and put to the sword anyone who follows her.” For the priest had said, “Do not put her to death at the temple of the Lord.” So they seized her as she reached the entrance of the Horse Gate on the palace grounds, and there they put her to death.



Jehoiada then made a covenant that he, the people and the king would be the Lord’s people. All the people went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols and killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars.



He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the nobles, the rulers of the people and all the people of the land and brought the king down from the temple of the Lord. They went into the palace through the Upper Gate and seated the king on the royal throne. All the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was calm, because Athaliah had been slain with the sword.



Their feast.

A Random Day

Today was a pretty intense day.

Mondays tend to be that way.

Are they that way at your house?

I really did not wake up crabby.

Honest.

Just do not ask the kids for their opinion.

They get confused sometimes.

They do.

I was not trying to micro managing things.

Honest.

I did not have a bee in my bonnet.

Really.

Honest.

Ok, maybe I had a little attitude.

Maybe, just maybe I had an edge to me.

Ok, ok I might have had a few *just a few* bees in my bonnet.

Sigh.

I want to start today all over.

Correct the damage I have done.

Un-hurt the feelings I hurt.

I have to say I have a very forgiving, gracious family.

A mom needs that.

This mom really needs that.

Tomorrow will be better.

I was thinking of this song and found it on YouTube.

Gee,can it really be over 20 years old?

I sure am an oldie. But the song is still great.




And not to forget, here are pictures of a random day.

Newest Project

I have not had a bunch of time to sew the past few weeks but I squeezed in a few hours this evening thanks to Jeff.

This sure is a bright quilt!

I guess I am thinking ahead to when our Minnesota spring finally starts!

Aren't they just eye-popping?!



The lilies called for a photo shoot with non-other than Lily!!
