REMEMBERING...

this weekend I have been remembering my loved ones. The special things about them. The things that made them unique and special in my life. I am truly blessed to have had them in my life and I believe they have impacted me and helped to make me the person I am today. I love them and today I am remembering them...
a special thank you to my Uncle Alex who fought for our country and was able to return to us after the Vietnam War. He taught me what courage and sacrifice was. He is alive and I remember his love of country and home. He is an incredible man!!!

Happy Mothers Day!!!
Today was a fun day. We went to service at church and they put on a very special Mother's Day service. It was meaningful and sweet. I missed Genesis but I was able to speak with her last night so it helped a little. Hunny bunny took me to dinner and it was yummy (love Outback Steakhouse). I enjoyed spending the day with him and Boo. It was interesting to have my first Mothers Day without one of my babies here. It made me realize how blessed I an when they are both home. I love my girls. I really do. I am soooo blessed to have had two incredible and wonderful daughters. They are both unique in their own way and that makes them that more special. I love being a mom. I love loving them and seeing the young ladies they are today. I am so proud of them. They are respectful, nice, funny, loving girls and I am in awe that I am their mother. I thank the Lord everyday that He gave them to me. He blessed me when each of them was conceived. That He would look down and pick me to mother them is incredible (I sometimes think what was He thinking???? but them I remember He is God and He knew...) He knew they would bring me joy (and grey hairs!), He knew the would keep me grounded (and up late nights worrying if they would make it through high school), He knew they would make me laugh (and yes pee in my pants...that is another story for another time...), He knew I would wake up every morning and thank Him for giving them to us and end every night with a sigh of pleasure for the happiness they bring into my life...HE KNEW. I love my girls and I love being their mother and I am sooooo blessed to have them in my life.

This year the ladies group at our church had their Mother's Day Tea at a British Tea House. It was a fun time of fellowship and eating some new foods...


Boo and Nina Lucy
The ladies said the strawberry tea was great...

Sunday's Blessings

* Puppies!!!

* "Thinking Big" @ work

* A job that allows me the freedom to be me!!!

* cloudy skies and rain!!!

* MUSIC!!!!

* Christian music!!!

* the sound of puppies eating their food and then their little paws on your thigh as they try to get your attention!!

I love this song. The words are amazing and lately I find myself singing the lyrics (I am not sure if it has to do with the rain or the way life has been going...*grin). We were very blessed to see Mercy Me in concert last month and they are great!!! When they sang this song it was awesome. My prayer remains that in the rain and in the sunshine I will PRAISE HIM and give HIM glory!

"Bring The Rain"

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
