Eric is now a married man!

There is only one thing better than being a mom. It's being a mother-in-law. When you have raised your children and they choose well, there is nothing on this earth that makes you more proud! A most glorious day was had by all and I can not thank God enough for stepping in and clearing up the day the way he did. Some think it was a miracle.  I am grateful and blessed for my husband, my sons. my family, my new family, especially Jackie and I want to share it with the world.  Thank you all so much for coming and thank You Lord for being ever present in my boy's lives.  Luke made a funny and thanked everyone for coming on such short notice!! That was great. I am going to collapse right now after a very long joyous day. Lord I love you and am ever grateful for all of my blessings!

MOTHER-IN-LAW????? ME???

WHAT ?? I am thrilled.  Haven't posted for a while but am happy and excited to share with the world that my son is getting married.  God works in mysterious ways and I believe in my heart of hearts that my new daughter-in-law was truly God sent. The Blessed event takes place on August 20, 2011 and everyone is busy getting ready.  I want to congratulate them and Pray that God wraps His arms around them and protects them from all evil.  I pray that He showers them with the Holy Spirit and fills their lives with Love, Friendship, Patience,Warmth, Tenderness and Compassion for each other and the world.

 This one is for you kids.

HAPPY GRADUATION LUKE!!!

...Is this the little boy at play? ...When did he grow to be so tall?  Wasn't it yesterday when they were small? 

These are a few of the lyrics from "Sunrise Sunset".  

It is so true!! It seems like yesterday you were small. I have only one prayer for you today Luke. I pray that God's face shine upon you and watch you now and forever. The goodness in your heart and the man you are becoming is quite something.  Remember that I love you very much and from this day forward you will do great things.  School is only a stepping stone to greater things and you are now on that new road. Congratulations on your graduation!
ALL MY LOVE, Mom

TODAY (Monday) A NEW BEGINNING !!

"Rainy days and Mondays always get me down....". NOT !!!
Those are words to an old Karen Carpenter song. Don't let any day or anyone get you down. When you wake up in the morning, GET UP!!! Shout for JOY!!! If you woke up it means you are ALIVE!!!
PROVE IT ! !
In my own personal struggle with life, and talking with many people, I find that the most depressed people are the ones who don't know what to do with their free time. They sit at home and wallow in their own mire. Here are a few suggestions:
Get off of the internet and ........DANCE!! SKIP!! SING!! Go to a neighbors house and bring them cookies!! Do something nice for a senior citizen. Ask them about their life and sit and listen to the WHOLE story!!! Don't interrupt, don't say a word. Just listen.  2 things might happen, 1.) You might learn something and 2.) You JUST might enjoy it. Find your local dance studio and take a dance lesson. (Ballroom City is Mine!!) Go to your local bookstore and start up a conversation with a complete stranger. Be solution oriented. If you are depressed, get out of your own way and get moving. God bless all of those who are depressed today or are having mental struggles of any kind. Lord show them a new beginning and remind them that it is better to give than to receive.  They will surely find joy if they seek to help others and stop thinking about themselves.  I know I did.

Ballroom City - THE BEST INDEPENDENT TEACHERS IN THE MIDWEST!!

I would like to invite anyone to come to Ballroom City and meet our teachers.  I have never been so impressed with the caliber of teachers in one place as I have at Ballroom City.  There is more than 100 years of Ballroom dance expertise at the studio, and over 50 years of Country and Western experience.  Swing dancers, Hustle maniac's and Latin dancing lovers, come one come all and have a blast @ Ballroom City.  From Mary's Friday night Class and Social to Vito's Disco meets Ballroom Evening.  Welcome Bob Urbon!! Matt Rivers this Saturday night!! Great things are happening at Ballroom City. Check out the website @ www.ballroomcity.com  and meet the rest of our teachers. Now I would like to wish all of you a very blessed Easter season.  After 6 months of writing about Jesus, God, and my Christian walk, here we are in Holy Week.  Today is Holy Thursday and one of the most humbling times for any Christian if they take  their faith seriously.  I cannot wait until Sunday!!! God bless ALL of you and have a great Easter.  May all of your troubles fade and may God's face shine brightly on your lives!!

Poor, Broken, Un-loved, Alone, Lonely, Desperate.......

Are you feeling any of these things?  I know that I have from time to time.  Look at the folks in Japan right now. I am astounded at all of the brokenness in the world right now. I can't believe all of the "Natural" disasters that have occurred in the last decade.  I can't believe a lot of things.  I can believe in us though.  We the people of the United States are so loving and giving.  LOOK AROUND PEOPLE!!! We are BLESSED.  We (personally) are still cleaning up from the flood that occurred in our neighborhood last year.  Why complain?  (Nobody wants to listen anyway) We have our health, friends, and family, but most of all LIFE.  My grandmother used to say, "Where there is LIFE there is HOPE". Some say that was a Chinese proverb.  Others say it was an old Roman Quote.  Still others say it was from the Portuguese. Who cares where it originated? It is a great saying and a terrific way to get through some of the rough times in life.  May God Bless EVERYONE with the gift of HOPE!!

MARCH 1, 2011 WOW, another month gone by.....another year as well.

....time flies when you're having fun.
....a stitch in time saves nine.
....don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
....rubber baby buggy bumpers.
....she sells sea shells by the seashore.
As my son's senior year from high school is coming to a close, I started thinking. WOW!! That is a difficult task for me sometimes.  THINKING, that is. All of these little sayings and tongue twisters came into my mind.  Where did they come from? How did they start?  I think I will think some more tomorrow and try to research the answer to those questions. I'll see what else I can come up with.  If you have been following my blog at all, you will see initially I seemed to have a purpose , writing every day and sharing some cool thoughts and prayers. Now I am writing when I have a few free minutes and no time to research. I still continue to pray every day and I pray to God that everyone's year this year is peaceful, happy and prosperous but most of all HEALTHY!! And remember, a prayer a day keeps the doctor away!! In Jesus name, Amen.

GOOGLE EVERYTHING !!!

I just found out that you can make a sentence with 15 letter words.  How? you ask, I Googled it!!  I don't care if you have other search engines, use GOOGLE!!! I  Google everything these days. It has helped me out of a jam a few times.  Anyway, I haven't been able to blog these days as I am in a new business venture and my time is limited.  I will probably get back to it as things settle down, But in the mean time use your search engine to the max. GOOGLE - GOOGLE - GOOGLE - GOOGLE!!!!! That's my choice.

 Dear Lord, please watch out for all of the people in my life, especially those who I promised to pray for and may have forgotten!! I ask this in Jesus name, AMEN!!

LA, LA, LA..........."It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood......"

If 25-33% of the world population is Christian, why aren't we a more peaceful and, happy world?  I am a firm believer that all  we need is a big swift kick in the pants.  Really, how much do we need? Where can we get it?  Why are we just living for ourselves and not trying to make this a better place for everyone to live?  New International Version (©1984)
"'Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build for me?...[Acts 7:49]  After reading this, I started to ask myself what  kind of a place have I built for the Lord to rest his feet? Is it a place that I would want to go for solace and peace? NOT!! No wonder he gets angry.   He sees all of the anger, bickering and foolishness. Like any father wanting the best for his children, He wants us to rest in Him.  While driving yesterday, I noticed that about 90% of the drivers were either talking on their cell phones, or just had a puss on their face about 10 feet long. What happened to joy?  I know they weren't talking to God, 'cause God don't need no cell phone. As for the ones with the long faces, obviously they were not thinking about God or there would have been a joyful, or peaceful look on their faces. LOOK in the Mirror!!! (I did and about fell on the floor.) ASK yourself what do other people see when they look at you? Lord, I promise to try my hardest to; be happier, help others, and to do Your will.  I pray that others will do the same, in Jesus name, AMEN

Happy Birthday Dad!
