I am soooo very blessed to have so many christian friends that I love so much! You have no idea just how much your friendship means to me. I love you all!
My Mom and Dad won the silent auction bid at the Sacred Selection fund raiser for a needle point poem created by Elaine Leavens. I thought it was sweet and so true:
We cannot change yesterday, that is quite clear, nor begin on tomorrow until it is here so all that is left for you and me is to make today as sweet as can be.
I copied this quote from Heather's blob: "Even in our sleep, pain which we cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."
- Aeschylus
I figure you must be a VERY wise person. And very blessed.
Hey you! Hope all is well and getting better. Nick K. spent the evening showing me how to use pleonast so hopfully I'll be able to kep in closer touch. We think of you and Kaitlyn often.
This is Jesse; happy for you and G. :) I'm missing a small ziplock bag of stuff and the only place it may be is somewhere deep in that big red bag momma borrowed from you. Would you mind checking all the pockets when you get a chance?
Today is my sweet Mother's 65th birthday!!! She is a wonderful Mom who has shown unbelievable, unconditonal love to her children. She has gone above and beyond for all of us to make sure we were all taken care of and taught God's word. She has a unbelievable way with words and knows what to say when I am feeling a little blue. She is a wonderful Godly woman and I am soooo blessed that God chose to place me with her. We have shared sooo many sweet memories over my life that I will cherish for a lifetime!!! I love you soooo much my sweet Mom. I hope you have a wonderful birthday!!!!!!!
We missed getting to see you. It was alot of fun. I didnt even get to talk to Cindy but I got to talk to Larry for a few minutes. If I can ever get the video of us singing posted, I will.
Drop a pebble in the water, just a splash, and it's gone;
But there's half a hundred ripples circling on and on and on,
Spreading, spreading from the center, flowing on out to sea.
And there is no way of telling where the end is going to be.
Drop a pebble in the water; in a minute you will forget,
But there's little waves a-flowing and there's ripples circling yet,
And those little waves a-flowing to a great big wave have grown;
You've disturbed a mighty river just by dropping in a stone.
Drop an unkind word, or careless: in a minute it is gone;
But there's half a hundred ripples circling on and on and on.
They keep spreading, spreading, spreading from the center as they go,
And there is no way to stop them, once you've started the flow.
Drop a word of cheer and kindness: just a flash and it is gone;
But there is half a hundred ripples circling on and on and on,
Bearing hope and joy and comfort on each splashing, dashing wave,
Till you wouldn't believe the volume of the one kind word you gave.
Drop a word of cheer and kindness: in a minute you will forget;
But there's gladness still a -swelling, and there's joy circling yet.
And you've rolled a wave of comfort whose sweet music can be heard,
Over miles and miles of water just by dropping one kind word.
I just wanted you to know, since you had shown interest in the Branson show that it was post poned and will actually be a week later then the original date. It's now Sept. 26, and it starts at 7:00 pm. But anyway, I know with the hurricane and all its pretty hectic but we wanted you to know so you didnt make a trip for nothing this Friday, lol. Glad yall are safe.
