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

Great Advice, every time.

When it's all been said and done...

There is just one thing that matters...
Did I do my best to live for truth, did I live my life for YOU?
I'm sure there will come a day when a Christ follower will have to be quiet about their faith. For me it's like breathing though. I will probably die for Him someday. Because I won't keep silent. I love Him, and I owe Him everything.
Every good and perfect gift has come from above. Not from majic. Not from synconicity. From HIM. Our creator. And I am at peace more than any other time in my life. I believe He's causing my life to be this rich right now, and I am amazed because of the grace I have right now. I do NOT deserve to be this happy. I have NOT earned this peace.
I am grateful for this love, and I pray it is felt by those who are closest to me.
