It has been a couple of days since I have written anything. And the reason for that is my heart is so burdened with things on it. The things of this world going on around us. Family and friends. And I am not sure what is going to come out of my heart today. I pray that I say things right and do not offend anyone. But at same time try to express how I feel. When you read this I would love everyone to pray for my 73 year old Mother. Pray God's will for her please. You know when you had your children and how your heart was so joyous and happy. But when they got sick for the first time it was like what can I do. So you do what you can, Pray for them and what the Dr. told you to do. And there was moments and times when this was going on. That it seemed like they might be getting worse at times than better. So you would pray and pray and pray and believe God and pray more. Then things got better. Well this is how I have felt when it has come to my Mom. Cause she lives about 9 hours from me.Well My mom has copd and that is congestive heart failure. She has been away from home about 3 mths this time I think. And it was at hospital for 2 weeks then to the nursing home. Now that she has been at nursing home she has been back to hospital 3 times. And recent was on saturday. She has pneumonia again for the 3rd time since she has been at nursing home. I want to go see my mom last time I seen her was 2 years ago. And in that time I have let go of alot of things of unforgiveness in me. I can truly sit here and tell you. I am 53 years old and I truly love my mom with every once of being in me. And I thought I would never feel that way. And it feels so good. To be free of that bondage that was keeping me down. So if you are reading this and you have a hurt in your heart that hurts everytime you mention something about it. And think you are always going to feel that way. Well I am here to tell you that it will come to pass. IF IF IF you turn every thing about that situation over to God and let him heal your heart and put that boundless love in your heart. You know like that song goes, boundless love boundless love it has conquered all the death from the grave grave, boundless love boundless love for those are saved.
Hm now think of that one we are saved by someone who has unlimited love for us. Wow that is a strong statement isn't it. UNLIMITED is wow alot of love. So if i stink , he loves me, if i hate he loves me, if i am hateful to people he loves me. If i am a awful person no matter what he loves me. If someone kills he loves me. And all I have to do is ask him to forgive me, and he will forgive me, and I get to go to his house and live for ever. Now the odd thing about this is,this. All those things I mentioned Jesus forgives me. But if we walk up to someone and they dot smell as good as we think they should well we walk away. Did you ever think you are the only Jesus person that they might see that day. Think about that if you are my age or older you probably have grand kids. And you just can't wait for them to come and spend time with you. So you plan stuff for ya'll or you sit and enjoy one another. Well think about it this way Jesus is planning or home for us. Also he sits at the right hand of our father making intersession for you and me. That is some powerful stuff. And sometimes we can't even say Lord please bless jane doe. And we leave it. When I get to heaven I want Jesus to tell me job well done. Now I am a failure I am a striver to get to go home to live with my SAVIOR, MY MASTER, MY REDEEMER.
And in order to do all that I need prayers, and I need to pray for others. This has been on my heart for a very long time. If you have prayer requests leave them here for me and I will pray for you. Or you can email me at hotnanaof_9@sbcglobal.net. I have 10 grand kids now. at the time my daughter set that up for me I had 9. And I love everyone of them. The are seed of me.
I pray that you have a great week, And please note if you ask for prayer I will pray. GOD has been dealing with me about praying for the people I go to church with. I feel like we all need to be lifted up in prayer everyday. God bless you .
Love Nana

Thank You Susan Boyle
I have always told my girls to not judge people, for how they look smell or anything. I found myself at a site the other day. And there was this lady was going to sing. And I said oh my gosh do not embrassed me. And as soon as I said that , I heard this woman sing and her name is Susan Boyle. And I quickly asked God to forgive me. I really was thinking when it comes to American Idol some people get up there and sing and it is like. They have to go on National T.V. And someone tell them they can't sing. I get embrassed for them. Any ways this lady could sing like a mocking bird. But still I was judgemental. And I had to repent, of thinking her singing would embrass me. There is a saying at my oldest daughter's house. It is not about you. And it wasn't thank God it was about Susan Boyle. And she sings like an angel. She has done the things in her life that she wanted to do. Take care of sick parents and stuff, is a blessing. She has blessed me very much. She stepped up and did something that she has always wanted to do. That took courage and strength. Something that I do not have all the time. And I should Cause I have a Heavenly Father that gives me courage, and strength. To see the look on Simon Cowells face was a million dollars. And the young blonde lady said she learned something that night. Well Susan thank you for reminded me. Of who I am suspose to be. I pray that someone signs you up.God Bless to all.

The Love of a Father
I would like to take the time to share something with everyone. I was in town Evansville this week stayed with daughter #4. Had to go to Doctor and all that wonderful stuff. So on way to Dr. I stopped by the store to pick something up and while I was there I picked up a newspaper to take to Dr. with me. So I get to the Dr. and I settle in to read the paper, cause I know it is going to be a wait. So I read this article about this guy who was driving drunk, at Christmas time. He hit the other car who had a boy, his brother sister, and a grandmother I believe. Well the drunk driver was sentenced this week, to 20 and half years in prison. Now this is the part I want to share with everyone. The dad of the young man who was killed stood up and spoke and the following 2 or so paragraphs. Is the father speaking to the man who killed his son.
"Daniel,I can not say that I can forgive you for killing my son and for hurting my other son my daughter and the rest of my family". But I am going to keep praying for that.
But you can rest knowing that you don't need the forgiveness of anybody in this room. Your forgiveness has assured by a loving God.
And I pray that if you have not asked, if you don't know him, that you will.
Contrary to news reports, Terry was a life for about two minutes after your car slammed into his. He was aware of what happened,and he pleaded with Officer Jason Henry. To help him out of the car. He could hear his family crying in pain all around him. He could see the horrific situation that you put him in. Of course there was no way that he could know that even if Officer Henry could of gotten him out, his fate had already been determined.
He could not had known that his ribs had been shattered into hundreds of pieces. And that those pieces fatally punctured his heart, his lungs and many vital organs countless times.
He could not had known that his life was about to tragically end much to soon, that he would not see his brother graduate high school, or his sister grow up or even make it just six days till new year's eve. When he planned to ask his girlfriend to marry him.
For reason's that we can not begin to understand, God has tied you to our family through this tragedy.
For some reason all the seven times you were arrested for drinking and driving,all those times in the past that for what ever reason the court system continued to allow you to manipulate justice until a life was not lost but taken.
All those things lead us here today. Because all these experiences you will now have a voice that comes from a perspective that gives you authenticity to help us bring about change.
Terry could had been saved. You could have been saved from all of this. I pray that as you begin to heal,God will move you to help us make those changes. Don't let this be the last time your heard from. Don't let this define you. Please,for Terry's sake, don't let another life be stolen.
I sat there in the Dr. office with tear's in my eye's. There was several people sitting around me. I looked at the lady to my right, and I asked her would you like to read something that will touch your heart, and she took the paper and she was at awe. We carried a conversation on and then she was called back to see dr.
That took a lot for this Dad to get up and say what he had to say. He was not ruling out he had not forgiven him yet. He knew he would. I sat there and I thought for a few seconds. I do not know if I could do that. I mean after all I have problem forgiving people that have not killed no one in my family. Well I just wanted to share this with you. I know it touched my heart completley. What that father said was very powerful. And he knew where his son was going.
Thank you LORD.
And one part the dad said for reasons' we can not understand God has tied you to our family. Wow what a way to look at it. This has really slapped me upside the head.
God Bless
