Lilies and Birds

I'm waiting on bills for the medical problems I've had in the last few months. Looks like insurance isn't going to take care of much. I made the mistake of not checking with them first...my thinking was so clouded during those days...I was not feeling well and wasn't thinking straight. The Lord will provide and take care of us as He said in Matthew 6:25-33...He takes care of the birds and the lilies...we are of so much more value to Him, He says. Don't worry. Seek first His kingdom and righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. I will not sin by being fearful and worrying. Help me, Lord, to please you with my faith.

Life is Not So Daily!

I value every day more than I used to do. Since the health problems and now the pregnancy, life seems so fragile. Thank You, Lord, for the joy that I always have in You....I won't always have happiness in my circumstances but I will have JOY. So much is going on...life seems to be speeding by. John has to have knee surgery in a few weeks plus has another possible surgery ahead. I've had my own problems and now Stephen is going to the doc about his possibly broken thumb. Erin's got sick headaches...don't know if it's from the pregnancy or what but I feel for her. Anyway, life was boring a few months back. Not anymore!! I do not fear. To fear is to sin. I trust the Lord with my family. Help me to trust, Lord.

Celebrating!

We're still not allowed to tell anyone yet about the pregnancy. It's still so early and my girl wants to wait until she's seen the doctor. We're going to celebrate her 22nd birthday by telling the family and friends. In the meantime, I'm having great fun already buying a few things. I bought some baby lotion for her...the smell just brings back good memories. Today we went shopping and I bought her a maternity outfit....wait! It was on sale! I know she won't need it for several more months but this is just my way of celebrating this baby. We had a lot of fun and I just continue to pray daily for health and safety for her and the baby. We feel so blessed! A little nervous...but blessed. We don't deserve these favors!

Surprise!

I'm a grandmother. No, the baby's not born yet but my daughter and son-in-law just found out that they will be having a baby next March..Lord willing. That little raisin-sized creature has a soul and is already known by his or her heavenly Father. How blessed we are. Thank you, Lord!

Fourth of July family fun!

Perfect weather, a nice breeze,funnel cakes, cotton candy, listening to Chicago and Blues Brothers music, people-watching, beautiful fireworks. We stayed late and didn't have to get up to go to work!
