Life is GOOD!!

Life is good..even though sometimes it seems that life can through you a curve...sometimes it hits you a homer....Kaye, Bill, Jennie, Sophie and I went to see Karen Marks last night at Sharon and Clarence's house is Mcalla...It was sooooo much fun..talking old times while making new ones.....WE have got to do that again soon....Tracy was there with her son, Matthew..just one of seven grands...just like me...we laughed, talked about everything and of course ate...UMMMMM it was so good...stew and company , at perfect combo...

So, after we got home, Sophie entertained us for a while, before crashing around 10:30...Steve and I were laughing at her and enjoying her cuteness...She asked Granddaddy where her mama was and he told her she was making their house pretty, then she ask where her boys were and he told her they were in bed asleep because they had to go to school...that satisfied her and she then found Aunt Jen and they went upstairs to play..This morning she has made me laugh because she is so full of life....sooooooo, life is good and Praise God for joy and laughter in whatever form it comes our way...

Growing UP

Well, at 57 years old.I'm still having to remind myself that growing up is a life long process. Several things have happened since last I posted...But, all in all what happens in our dailey lives has a purpose...to help us grow...It's up to us how we receive the growth...I want to grow in the strength of the Lord...I know that He is my strong tower and that I can ALWAYS run to Him...I know that He is my strength and gets me through alot of things....Really, all things...I know that He is my fortress and my peace, and my all in all...Yet I have to let Him be these things to me...So here I am letting Him be...exactly what I need...Do I want answers? Yes...Do I want to know why? Yes...Do I always need to know what? Well, sometimes the TRUST factor has to weigh in and take over..."I know whom I've believe and am presueded that He is able to keep that which I've committed unto Him against that day" Do I waver in this? Well, yes. I'm only human...But bottom line..I believe that Jesus is who is says He is and I can always trust that He knows waht, when and where... Thank you Lord, for your constant, neverending love that you have already given to us in the form of your "only begotten Son"...Thank you for your long suffering with us and that you never give up on us...thank you that you love us inspite of ourselves and that your love is sincere...thank you that you are always trying to get through to us and showing us the love that we have in our families, our true family..I love you Lord and trust you with my life, my family, my finances and everthing in between..for you are the light of my path and the strength of my heart and the joy that comes ever time I look at what you have done not only in my life, but in everything that you have created...Help me to always see the beauty of you even in the tough things that we have to go through and to achieve the purpose you have mapped out for me...in my life
