Kristen's Wedding

 I am late in posting this but could not and would not leave it out because this gal has always been a Big part of our lives!!

My graandaughter Kristen is like one  of my own children, I kept care of her when she was just a baby and during much of her growing up years. We have video's of her at nearly every stage of her growing up years. Her mom at one point took her to this lady cause I had started a job.  They took her to this sitter and it ended up that the lady said she cryed every day that week, and I said No, it broke my heart to think she was so unhappy so I decided to  work the night shift so I could keep her all day!  She brought so much happiness into our home, I cry just thinking of it. As I said it was as if she were one of my very own. 

So somewhere along the way she met the love of her life. Time moves on and my sweet Kristen grew up and out of my arms. She was married on Friday the 24th at Chapel Valley Farm  on county rd. 44A.

I  will post pictures of her here with Thomas Nash who stole her heart.   I love this gal so much and hope for her much happiness and a good marriage. I pray Thomas will take good care of our little gal and love her with all his heart.💓

A Memoir

 Reading a new book titled: " My wife said you may want to marry me."

This couple have a nice life enjoying all the niceites that make for a good marriage and looking forward to what exciting things tomorrow would bring....

The wife just going in for a check up because of pain on her side and thinking its nothing really and perhaps appendicitis but nothing more...... 

Just another day ..... is what Gilda Radner says on Sat. Night Live/ her quote is 

 " its always something"

 and yes it put a stopper in her life and it turned out it was Ovarian Cancer.   The journey in this book that this couple takes and deal how they deal with what has been given them to deal with takes you back in their lives and to all their dreams they had.  As with all of us just making plans for " what we are going to do tomorrow".  Life is good yes and has its struggles, and ultimately we have to come to understand that this life is precious and we need to cherish everyday we are given!! We never know what tomorrow will bring. 💝

Donna's Miracle

 I watched a movie tonight called "Hoovey"  it was sooo good!

Its a Christian movie and I don't want to give it away but every family should watch it!  Father is taking son to hospital and his  car swerves and they get stuck in the snow as it spins its wheels!  

I promise  you will enjoy it!  Its centered around basketball and family which we all love, thats all I can say.

Please watch it!  As father gets back into car to try and start car again he looks behind in rear view mirror and he sees three figures  approaching the car..... it seems they came out of no where!  They pushed on the car and it rolled out of the deep snow and as he turned around the three men were no longer there.   Were gone just like that ! The father was thinking thats weird but had to rush on to get his son to hospital.  

And this quote came up on screen from the Bible.....

 

Hebrews 13:2

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers

 for"IN DOING" 

some have entertained angels unaware!!!!!

NOW ON TO DONNA'S MIRACLE STORY.....SHE WAS ON A NIGHT RUN FOR THE BANK , VERY LATE.... AROUND MIDNIGHT.....  OUT ON THIS DARK DESERTED ROAD SHE HAD CAR TROUBLE AND NOT A SOUL AROUND SO SHE PRAYED.   OUT OF NO WHERE THIS MAN  APPEARED IN A OLD TRUCK AND HAD HER GET INSIDE AND HE LIFTED THE HOOD AND SHE STARTED THE CAR, GETTING OUT AND WANTING TO THANK HIM  HE WAS NOT THERE NOR HAD SHE HEAR HIS TRUCK  EVEN LEAVE....  SHE THOUGHT IT ODD  BECAUSE SHE WOULD HAVE HEARD HIS TRUCK AS IT LEFT..   YES SHE SAID SHE WAS SURE SHE HAD BEEN VISITED BY A  ANGEL,  AND I DO BELIEVE IT REALLY IS SO. 

                Donna has had many spiritual experiences. 

                She is totally devoted to our Savior!

Joeys Birthday....82

 Today my hubby Joey turned 82 and all I ask is to have many more years with this wonderful man . 

I know I have been greatly blessed to have gone through life for near 62 years this June with this guy!!

He has been there for me through much of my hard times and loves me just as I am .

Says he loves me now even more than he did  on the first day that we said I DO!!  

He made that commitment to love , honor and stick beside me till death do we part!!  He has always put me first in his life!  He has always been a wonderful husband and father to our children. 

I will also have to say here that he took me to our church Temple and made the commitment there to love me for Eternity!  Wow! thats a long time guys!  Had a person  say to me once  "62 years to the same person?" 

My answer is always the same, YES ....I can truly say he is the love of my life and he tells me often that I am the right one and only one he would want to share his life with.  💕Sweet!!

Just for today!!! .... sent to me by Angie when she had small children.

Aug.15, 2005

Just for this morning,  I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh.

Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear and smile and say how perfect it is.

Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry and pick you up and take you to the park to play. 

Just for this morning ,I will leave the dishes in the sink and let you teach me how to put your puzzle together.

Just for today , I will unplug the telephone and turn the computer off and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles....

Just for this afternoon , I will not yell once , not even a tiny grumble  when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck and I will buy you one ....

Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you will be when you grow up...

For today I will let you make cookies ...and I won't stand over you.                   

 Just for the day I will take you to McDonalds and get you a happy meal...I will hold you and tell you how you were born and how much I love you. 

For now I will let you splash in the tub  and not get angry and come evening sit on the porch with you and we will count all the stars. 

I will snuggle beside you for hours and miss my favorite show on tv.   And just for this evening I will run my fingers through your hair as you say your night prayer ....and I will simple be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever....YOU!! 

And yes, I will think about the mothers and fathers who are searching for their  missing child .....  the mothers and fathers who are visiting their childrens graves instead of their bedrooms , and those in hospitals watching as their children suffer and will scream inside that they can't handle it anymore. 

And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold you a little tighter... , a little longer and then I will thank God for  you and ask him for nothing more ..., than just 

                                 ONE MORE DAY!!!

one of my favorite poems

 May you like the work that is your to do....

May your purse always hold a coin or two......

May love fill  your life, a smile light your face......

May the home where you dwell be a wonderful place. 

Dad and I love our home!!
