Thankful for All Things

We are to be thankful in all things. It is hard to be thankful with a headache that is now on day two. Truly, I am thankful for the valleys and the mountain tops. I really could use a mountain top!!! If it wasn't for the valleys we may never realize just how wonderful the mountain tops are. I am thankful that my family let me sleep a bit this afternoon to help relieve my headache. I still have it and we have a ladies meeting at church tonight. Maybe by the time I fix supper it will be easing up some.

Graduation 2018

Where has the time gone? My best intentions did not fly! I guess crocheting, card-making, and grandchildren...not to mention playing taxi driver for two of our off-spring has not helped! So today, I come to start again. This evening, Daughter #5, (child #11), graduates from high school. I can not believe it! Her plans are to major in Criminal Justice at Bob Jones University this fall! CONGRATULATIONS DAUGHTER! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!

My Mother's Gentle Love

My Mother's Gentle Love by Ron Hamilton Who puts a band-aid on my knee? Who holds me close so tenderly? Who always sees the best in me? There’s no one like mother. Who always wipes my tears away? Who tells me I’ll be great some day? Who cares in such a gentle way? There’s no one like mother. My mother’s gentle love, my mother’s gentle love Has taught me of God’s tender care, and turned my eyes above. I’ll bless her all my days for all her gentle ways. Oh, how I thank my Lord above for my mother’s gentle love. Today is my mother's viewing, and tomorrow is her funeral. The song above so much describes my mom. She loved her four children so very much! Before she had children, she was a nurse for "special care" babies~~"old" term for NICU. Once she started having children she gave up her career to stay at home and raise her own babies. Thanks, Mom! Thank you, Daddy, for allowing Mom to stay at home and raise us four children! My mother and her mo...

Life....

Busy. That seems to describe life in our home. Just day to day busy. Nothing really noteworthy. Life moves on. Let me think, since I last posted.... well, let me back up to about a month before my last post. Daughter #6 got married in October of 2022...today Son #7 got married. So, I have gained another son and another daughter! Our youngest graduated from high school in May and our oldest grandchild graduated the following day! From our oldest child to our youngest, we have 33 years of education. (I'm tired just thinking about it!!) Still only 13 grandchildren. Hubby is still in education. I keep things going on the home front. I help out the families where and when needed. I still make cards for the card ministry that I have been doing for 19 years. I still crochet. That about sums up life at this point. Have a wonderful day!
