grandmaw

on wednesday night, my grandmaw crossed over to meet Jesus... safe forever more in His arms.... it was so special,and peaceful, and a such a blessing to be a apart of..i am so thankful He always knows best..the best time, place,etc....
if i had been about ten minutes later, i would NOT have been there....when she made it to the other side.... it was such a sweet, but sad time.... i am so thankful she is in heaven, and i will see her again one day.... we had a special trip with her about 3 weeks ago..one , that i would not take a million dollars for right now.. we had such a good time with her, my sis, and my mama... we took her shopping, and just focused on her wants and needs, and she got a fabulous steak dinner too... i know that trip was of the Lord.. and i got to spend those few days..all with her..and i will have memories to last a a life time... i have a few pics, but i have not downloaded them yet... hope you all cherish everyday, and live today, like it's the only day you have...:)))

being thankful

i am thankful for many things..most of which i take for granted everyday.. i am thankful for a home, that is ours, heat/air, food on the table, and for a husband who shares the cooking with me..lol..for a kitchen full of appliances, clean clothes, shoes to wear, a great church and church family.. my family, and my husband...

i am thankful for answered prayers.. we have seen several answered prayers in our family this year, and i still think there is more to come!!!! i am thankful for giving parents, who have worked hard all their lives to provide for me and my sisters, and who give of themselves everyday to others... i am thankful for my grandmother, who i know her days are numbered here on earth, but awaits her heavenly home soon...

i am thankful for new things, patience, guidence, and forgiveness... i am thankful for my TRUE friends...some of which i really thought were my true friends, but i have really realized who they REALLY are over the past few months...... grace....Godly advice, and for the Word of God to study, and for the ability to pray.. i am thankful for Salvation.. where would I be had it not been for Jesus??? i am thankful for my husband, and for his sacrificial giving of his time and talents.. he is truly my hero. as you can see, i could go on and on..but these are some things i am most thankful for this Thanksgiving season!! Thank you Lord, for your blessings on me!!!

God Answers Prayer

GOD STILL ANSWERS PRAYER!!! IN HIS TIME HE'LL WORK A MIRACLE!! HE WILL NEVER FAIL!! SATAN HAS LOST THE BATTLE WHEN TO THE LORD YOU HUMBLY BOW!! GOD STILL ANSWERS PRAYER!!

i am so glad He hears me when I pray.

HE WILL BE VERY GRACIOUS UNTO THEE AT THE VOICE OF THY CRY;WHEN HE SHALL HEAR IT, HE WILL ANSWER THEE. ISAIAH 30:19

worry or not worry??

WORRY.. sometimes i do this more than other times.. i worry about things i need to do at home, i worry about something that happened at work, i worry about money, i worry about my grandmaw.. i could go on and on.... but i need to refocus and realize He has everything under control. He knows the outcome of every situation before i even ever thought about it.

i have a heavy heart today. i am asking everyone to remember my grandmaw in prayer. her condition is getting worse. her lung is filling up with fluid again. the doctors are not giving us good news. i do not like seeing her in this condition. I am reminded today, that HIS eye is on the sparrow and i know He watches her, and will take care of her, according to His will. He takes care of the sparrows..then really, why should i feel discouraged???

i can sit and watch the birds in my yard. they are and seem to be so happy, carefree, and just love singing..why?? because they are happy, and they like sitting and watching, and enjoy the sunshine. they are under great care.

help me today, LORD, to realize and remember you can do ALL THINGS, and know what is best in every situation.

Luke 12:7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
