Morning Ladies and Ron!

First of all want to say I hope you have a warm and wonderful Sunday! Good services and lots of good fellowship and worship!

Its been another insane week here! Trying to get last minute stuff done for Christmas and getting dads stuff done too has proven interesting!

I went to Sams last night and got some groceries and by the time I did that I felt like I had been hit by a mac truck! It was insane!!!!! Almost worse than walmart! Lord have merci!

So then Tues I will be going outta town... gotta love the hubby being gone! I gotta go to Ms to get the kiddo! Yes indeed all by meself! I am driving down Tuesday spending the night with my friend there and then Katie has a 1/4 day on Wed then we will head home straight from school!!!!!!! The kids are staying w dad and grama as they dont get out of school till Thurs. I am excited to go get her but hate the meetings w her momma so pray I dont smack her upside her bright orange head!!!!!!!!!

"Too Bad" you still have to read about me no matter how boring.

I can't remember when the last time I wrote, but I will start with Fri. night.

As i mentioned before I am president of the Golden Harvestors. I love it, even though I feel that I am a young Christian Iwas voted in by the majority of the people and I really think it was because I am one of the youngest in the group. It has been such a learning experience for me, I have learned leadership abilities and I have been taught how to pray one for another and how mourn while praising God when a death occurs. I have learned patience, and I have learned that prayer is essential no matter how minor the job I try to do.

Fri. Night we had our Christmas dinner at a local restaurant. We had a wonderful time and I had a short devotional written about John 3:16 and about the gift that endures. I had the speech outline written and stuck in my pocket and when I stood up, I gave a short speech thanking everyone for ocming and I thanked my treasurer and my vice-president and presented them with a small gift. and I reached my hand in my pocket and the speech was gone and my mind went blank. --short silent prayer later I remembered most of it. but it sure was a tense moment for me.

My vice president "Patty" had written a poem about Christmas of her childhood. It was so beauteful.

I had a wonderful time and I had envited a pastor and his wife from another church and someone asked them to come and sing for us at our next meeting. They agreed and so I have next month's meeting already planned out.]

Last night I went to a local church that was having a singing, it was raining a cold here and not many people showed up. That was such a sweet time.

This morning I can't go to Sunday School because grandson has a cold. I am going to preaching. I just do not feel comfortable taking grandson to interact with other children when he is sick. For preaching i will hold him and he will not be in contact with anyone but me and dh. Last night baby fell and busted his lip, when my daughter called me and told me about it I pictured a mouth swollen and deformed and teeth slanted. She is a first time mama and I am sure in her "mama's eyes" it was worse than it actually was. Bless her heart you could barely tell anything had happened at all. Just a little bruise on his upper lip.


Tonight a dear friend of mine his name is Jim Bunch is going to be singing at a local church and he asked dh and I to go hear him. I am not one to skip my church if I can help it but I am going to hear him. He is a wonderful singer and a wonderful man of God and I thank God for him.

Have a wonderful Sunday.
If you actually read all of this I give you a big thank you hug. lol
Hey sis we all have boring lives......your feeling better it sounds like from your note...and that is awesome....God is such a tender father of our heart and He will give us such wonderful peace and contentment if we let Him....sounds like your very busy and that is wonderful...I love being busy with things to do with friends and family.

How many children do you have sis, and how many grandchildren?

Hugs back to you....

Oh and about the trip. It will mostly be in daylight as far as I know... I plan on leaving here around 10 am... should get me there by 5 so thats good... leaving there will be around 11 so I may hit an hour or so of dark time but thats not too bad and by then I will be close enough to Dallas to not worry too much about it!

Yall are just too kind, I appreciate the kind words.

I have 2 children-30 yr. old daughter she is married with one child. Her baby turned two in August and I have been baby sitting him since he was 6 wks old.

---and my son is 28 and he is married with 2 children a 9 yr. old boy and a 5 yr. old girl. I don't get to see them as often as I would like. They did come down for the funeral and I have to say I enjoyed seeling all of them. Even though it was supposed to be a sad occasion, I smiled a lot having my children and grandchildren around me.

So I have 2 children and 2 in law children and 3 grandchildren.

I am feeling a lot better since the death. I am sure it was satan trying to steal my joy by putting doubts in my mind. But i have a God that is faithful and he has had wonderful people praying for me and I hope and pray I have come away from the self doubts stronger in the Lord.

Love you all
