God is Love, and Love is Family

Well Thank God for his hands on my grandson. I know most of you know by now about Elijah. I know that Gina has been blogging about him. And I just want to thank God for everyone's prayers. You know the word of God says that two or more gathered together in his name it shall be done. Gina reminded me of that this morning but it was worded differently. She is my loving daughter and she is also my balance. Most people have husbands, and since my husband is already in the throne room. She has been my balance through out the years. And I thank God for her. When I have been cranky and yesterday I was. She can say mom your cranky. Well okay I think she is right. I would think to myself. And she was. I just came back home from eville. I had to get my haircut. So I can keep my beauty. LOL. No vainness there huh. I am joking. And I was thinking on the way home. How blessed I am with the children I have. And you know. God does give us the kids we have. No one else was to have those children. I look at things in such amazement. I had to be a working mother. Not by choice. And I missed out on so much with my children. I feel at times I deprived them of me. Cause I would come home, had to do school with some of the girls. Supper had to be made, laundry had to be done. Couldn't go to bed till it was done. And on the weekends no fun till all work was done. I missed on so much with them. But at the same time they teach me so much. I sat in amazement. And watch the girls do things. I have the opporunity to watch Gina on a daily basis, and she is so amazing. The other day we were at Becca's are bible study group. And she was preparing coffee making sure everyone had what they needed. Then Gina was there and Becca wanted to have lunch for us. So yes I am very blessed with the daughter's. I know Dixie is so busy with her 5 kids. She works and then on her days off when I talk to her. She is cleaning and doing laundry. Always something to do. But remember one thing never be to busy to talk and to listen. God is so good to me. And I do not even deserve his gracious abounding love. I have been picturing the cross in front of me. And Christ stretched out on it. And this is what it says to me. I loved you this much. And he died. But I can't take time to say thank you LORD. So here is the moral of my writing. Take time to smile at someone today. They may need it real badly. And heck you might even feel better.

God bless

THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR BLESSINGS

Well thought I would come on and say hi. I am listening to a song THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR BLESSINGS ON ME. And that is so very true. Who says we need a mansion to live in. The mansion is how we take care of it. As the world looks upon me. As I struggle along, they say I have nothing but they are so wrong. In my heart I am rejoicing, I wish they could see, thank you LORD for your blessings on me. There's a roof up above me and a good place to sleep. There's food on my table and shoes on my feet. You gave me your love Lord and such a fine family. Thank you Lord for your blesssings on me. I know I am not wealthy and these clothes are not new. I don't have much money but lord I have you. And to me that is all that matters , though the world may not see. Thank you Lord for your blessings on me. Well that is so very true, so I am going to leave you with this today.
God bless

Family is like a Tomato Vine

I been sitting and thinking for the last couple days. I am so blessed to have Jesus in my life. Also with the family that he has given me. I been here at Gina's now since last Thursday. I think things are going pretty well. We have not killed each other yet. Lol. I have always sat and watched my girls. I find it very interesting. You raise them all with same values and teach all the same things. But each one has taken a little of what you taught them added to it. And it makes a great family gathering. Like a good recipe, you get a recipe and you add to it or take away to make it your own. That is how it is with each family. But most of all that keep JESUS at the top. And things work great. Oh there will be some kookaburra's but take them off and go on. I thinking about family today. It is like a tomato vine. You put the seed in the ground, then it takes a couple months or so. Then comes the little blooms then comes tomatoes. Some are big, some are medium, and some are small. But they are still tomatoes. They have to be weeded out and watered. Just like the family it has to be weeded out, and watered with prayer and the word of God. I remember when my husband was alive. He loved when it was time to put the garden in. We would get the ground ready, then take our time put the seed in. And then we would pray for God's blessings on the vegetables. And he would take his lawn chair out to the garden and sit and watch for the vegetables to come up. I would say a watch pot never boils.
Well God bless and have a great week.

A Day in Nana's World

Well where do I begin. Well let me try to start from the top. I made a decsion to moving in with my oldest daughter and her family. Then we get a ice storm. That takes out power and all that good stuff. But the funny thinkg is. After the ice was melted . We lost power for 24 hours. Then in the middle of trying to pack and make the move. My youngest daughter decides she wants to keep her sister Dixie's child #4. So I ride with her to Salem, Il. and then Dixie ask me to bring child #3. So we do well at the end of the first week. Becca's husband Wade has to go to northern Ind. for some Child support business. And his brother and sister in law to be come and get him and his crazy wife. LOL. And she asked me to watch Evan and Dixie's little boy. To start on Saturday and they would be home this past Monday. Well guess what this is Feb. 14th and Wade's family is not bringing them back home till sometime this evening. Dixie came and got her two kids yesterday afternoon. And guess what and in the middle of all this mess. My mom has a heart attack. And they do angaplastic surgery on her on Wed. I think not sure of the days. Right now. But now she has dementia they are saying. It can be brought on my unfamiliar surroundings. And a tragic experience. Well I am moved in out here at the ranch. lol. I am doing great with it. I am sure things will do fine. It all takes PRAYER. Well I am fixing to make a run with Gina and the kids. God Bless
