I See the Future


I look at them as they are sleeping and warm fuzzy love fills my heart. I SEE THE FUTURE in them and hope looms in front of me. They shall never know how much their Yaya and Poppa love them. They shall never know the joy they bring to our hearts. Only until they have their own grandchildren, will they be able to understand this great love.

I SEE THE FUTURE in them and I rejoice. Sweet little faces, 16 total, who we are so thankful for.

We pray for them....for them all and we daily thank God for their lives.

Complacency

Frustration often plagues me. I'm admitting it, so there it is.

I sometimes get so frustrated with the COMPLACENCY I see all around me. There are many signs and spottings of this and they all bother me, to a greater or lesser extent. Daily, people turn their backs on others when there is an opportunity that could have been taken to help them. Daily, it makes me ache inside.

This life we have been given, was given to us to give glory to God, plain and simple.

How I wish that all would come to know Him. How I wish that all understood the concept of giving unselfishly to those who stand in need. It may only be a word of encouragement, a prayer or a word of kindness. Then again, it may cost you something. It may take your time or you may have to dig into your wallet. BUT...giving and loving others honors God. It brings Him glory when we do it for HIS glory.

Father....help me not be COMPLACENT nor judge those who display COMPLACENCY. Help me to simply be who You created me to be......a glory to Your name.

It's Been Hard

Ok.....it's been a long long time since I've blogged. My mind has deliberately not wanted to write again and I'll explain why, not that anyone particularly cares, but here it is anyway.....

If you notice, the 2nd to the last blog of mine has a picture of my precious sister Lou, standing in her doorway, waving goodbye to us as we left the last time we saw her. Not long after that, she was not able to walk anymore, so this is my last picture of her standing up. I'm being brutally honest here, brutally. Somewhere in my pea sized brain, it's been hard to post anything more cause I know that picture of her will drop further and further down the page till it cannot be seen any longer and I just haven't wanted that to happen. I know that's probably ridicously stupid, but it's true.

So there it is, the truth. I have missed blogging, the simple act of writing down what I'm feeling or thinking, not that it's important or that anyone really cares but somehow, it's important to me and I know it's important to my Jesus.
