Loved Ones

The last few days I have been thinking about how precious our loved ones are. My mother and I have our problems but I just always hope she knows how much I love her and care about her well being. She needs our prayers to help her get her strength back. She is mentally very strong but physically her body is slowing down and she is having problems dealing with this slow down. I ran into an aquaintance today who told me that her mother had passed away in October. I knew her mother who was a wonderful lady and I could see in my friends eyes and hear in her voice how much she missed her mom.

I know God has a time to take us up to him but it causes me to cherish the time I have on earth with the ones I love.

Gods Plan

Yesterday I attended my bible study where we are Studying 1John. The lesson yesterday was on light and darkness and how in this world we are led to live in the darkness because of the sins we commit. Jesus Christ can bring us into the light. Last night I had a thought about my own life and how I could better live in the light of Christ. I thought I must put this on my blog. The devil doing his work has taken this profound thought out of my conciousness.

I am learning so much from my bible studies that I felt that I must share this on my blog. I feel that I am better understanding the word of God and how the different books of the bible work together and deliver the same clear message several times. God is so good and when I meet with my friends to study he always sends us a message about his love and his grace.

On another subject God has blessed my daughter with a wonderful son. My grandson provides me with many moments of delight through his blog and when I get to physically be with him.
I am looking forward to spending a week with him this month. The memories that I have of his first year on earth are wonderful. Gabriel is truly a blessing from God.

A New Adventure

Both my daughter and my grandson have their own blogs so I thought why not start my own. I used to love to write and this may be the outlet I need to develop this love again.

I am retired from teaching, but still have a tremendous love for children, which makes having a 9 month old grandson so much fun. I love talking to my daughter on the phone and hearing his giggle and talking in the background. I also enjoy the precious moments when I get to go visit him and his wonderful parents in Texas.

I keep busy with belonging to different organizations and with taking bible studies which have really opened my mind and my heart to the word of God and the direction he wants us to take.
