Isiah 43:2

Just what I needed for today!!

I find myself asking

Today I was wondering as I often do , what am I suppose to do with what is left of my life.  Well lately it seems we have some adopted kids here that really do demand a lot of time and energy.  Not our grand kids but neighborhood  kids.  I often ask  Where are the parents of these kids that want to hang out at my house?  I know they smell supper cooking, I know they know when I have baked cookies, they know when CW is home and they always have problems with their bikes, etc.  So here we are and I was asking, then I picked up my book  Chicken Soup for the Country Soul............Randy Travis had written this and placed in this book:   My Answer?



Giving
"Love is a Verb"

Giving love is doing
and there's always more to do
Share with those in need,
and it will all come back to you.
For when life on earth is over
and your time to go has come,
You wont be judged by what you  have
but by good deeds you've done
So greet with open arms
every soul you run into
'cause giving love is doing
and there's always more to do.
Randy Travis

This is my new quilt top.  I am still not very good at this but I love to do it.   Never does turn out right.   always uneven and all that but I know that if I get it together someone will cover with it.  I just wish I could learn how to send little lap quilts to the kids at St. Judes.

I am the most unphotogenic person in the world but my sweet grandaughter put make up on me today and i thought you know that looks pretty good.  Thanks Caitlin!

Our Famiily is Blessed

Just like to tell you all what we are doing while the kids are here.
Number one priority is that for one meal a day we sit together with the tv, playstation and computer off, and we just talk, about the day about school starting and the experiences the kids have had.   I think too many times we forget to gather. 


Another thing we are doing is at those meals we make a point to pray and thank God for this time together.

Although as Charles David had a  motorcycle accident, he was thankful not to have gotten hurt.  Things can be replaced.  You know, our lives are full of trials and I dont know why, but I dont know what God is shielding us from.   I feel him with me sometimes then at times I wonder where he is that I am going through this trial.  There was a woman in the bible , and i dont want to misquote this , but she had a major trial in her life,  then she lost her son, and she said , God you brought me through that only to go through this. Some days you just dont know what he has shielded you from.  So I am a person that has to look and look for a blessing and when i do it may be small but I can find  one.  

I tell Sue all the time.............when I feel tht God may not answer my prayers..........remind me of this day and what he did for me. 

Sue you have no idea what you  mean to me.  Please stay well and I promise I will stop leaning on you someday.  So please stay well.  I sure do need you and I sure am glad we have each other.

Here is that cute little girl.
