I was adopted.
I met my birth family.
The young lady is my mother.
She was 20 yrs older than me.

I miss her.

Life Is GOOD!


My twin brother had a birthday in January and turned 51.
Yesterday, my 6th grandchild turned 4.
My 7 yr. old grand daughter will go on a trip this weekend with her Daddy to visit his family.
I will spend time with my 10 yr. old grandson.
I look forward to singing and leading others to worship on Sunday.
My husband of 4 yrs is sleeping in today.
My 3rd adult child has 3 children and will be hearing from the housing people soon about renting her own apartment, and moving out of our home.
I am grateful for God's timing.
I miss my 28 yr old daughter and pray she finds deep peace today.
My oldest son is an amazing master craftsman.
My youngest son is an amazing guitar player - but then again, his brother makes some terrific sounds from his guitar too.
I gave my 5th grandchild a ride home from school yesterday and we went shopping for birthday presents. He really didn't find that all that meaningful, but I hope someday he will remember that I love his personality.
I have today off from work. I am grateful that I have one day out of the week to take care of important things. I can also just do what ever I like on these days.
And the last word of this blog shall be LOVE.

LOVE

Dear Love,
Where would I be without you?
I would be a sad, and lonely girl. I would be selfish -totally ignoring my family and friends. (Unless they could give me what I wanted.) I would be drunk, and lost. Without you, love, I would be sick. I would be searching for people, places and things to satisfy my soul. I would be dead.
And so Love - I am glad I have you in my life. You fill me with a purpose to live. You direct me every day. You cause me to speak to strangers without fear. You nudge me to give without boundaries. You give me hope for a future. You've wiped out the darkness that covered me and replaced it with a blanket of comfort, protection and gratitude.
Thank you Love,
M
