Hallelujah

Our precious grandson has invited Jesus into his heart! Not only is heaven rejoicing but his grandparents are too! His understanding of our Saviour is nothing short of miraculous. We are blessed! We just got back from celebrating his youngest sister's first birthday and we had such fun! Our Princess is still not over visiting Cinderella in September, they are dear friends you know. Those 3 babies are a joy. There is nothing that can be compared to the hug and or kiss of a grandchild!



Our Hope is doing great! She is over 8 pounds now and is attempting to get her parents straight on this whole baby thing. She is having to teach them who is in charge!



Sometimes they forget who is in charge but she is such a good baby she lets them have their way. They are so lucky that she is so good!



My Mom is back in Mobile receiving treatment for her cancer. It has spread. MD Anderson said that it is spreading faster than they can treat it. Mom has a wonderful, strong, outlook though. We know that our God is in charge and we are asking for her healing and His will. Please continue to pray for her and my Dad. She is 69 and he is 71 they have been married since they were 15 and 16. God has laid this song on my heart. It is Stephen Curtis Chapman and I hope to live my life this way:

Miracle of the Moment

It's time for letting go
All of our if only's
'Cause we don't have a time machine

And even if we did
Would we really want to use it?
Would we really want to go change everything

'Cause we are who and where and what we are for now
And this is the only moment we can do anything about

So breathe it in and breathe it out
Listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment

There's only One who knows
What's really out there waiting
In all the moments yet to be
And all we need to know
Is He's out there waiting
To Him the future's history

And He has given us a treasure called right now
And this is the only moment we can do anything about

So breathe it in and breathe it out
Listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment

And if it brings you tears
Then taste them as they fall
Let them soften your heart

And if it brings you laughter
Then throw your head back
And let it go
Let it go, yeah
You gotta let it go

And listen to your heartbeat

And breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment

And breathe it in and breathe it out
And listen to your heartbeat
There's a wonder in the here and now (here and now)
It's right there in front of you
And I don't want you to miss the miracle
Of the moment

The Miracle of the Moment! If only everyone could understand this gift that God has given to us. I know that I have taken it for granted many times but I try not to now. Each moment can be good, bad, memorable or wasted. It is up to us! I know I have wasted many but as the song says...we don't have a time machine, I will definitely try not to waste anymore. I love the part about tears and laughter...they are part of life!

Our prayer list is still long but we know the one in charge! Please continue to pray for our friend Hoppa as he goes through his chemo. Also our friend Lee is having chemo treatments. We have a friend from church named Jeanette who was also just diagnosed with a malignancy please lift her and her family up, she is about 40 and they have young children. Our friend Mark is out of remission and having to take chemo. I just ask that everyone pray to bind Satan from spreading this cancer that is becoming so prevalent!




I don't know if any of you are watching Dancing with the Stars. I don't watch much TV when we are off visiting, which is often. I do like this show. I thought Sabrina was the best dancer and now she has been kicked off. Now I think Helio is the best dancer. I don't know much about him except that he drives race cars. He has natural talent for dancing. I don't think that "they" will let a man win this season though.



My favorite female is Jenny Garth. She has really improved! She tries hard and seems to be an all-American girl! She has a sweet spirit and is a good Mommy!

I think Mel B from the spice girls may win.


Show and Tell

A kindergarten teacher gave her class a "show and tell" assignment. Each student was instructed to bring in an object to share with the class that represented their religion. The first student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Benjamin and I am Jewish and this is a Star of David."
The second student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Mary. I'm a Catholic and this is a Rosary."
The third student got in up front of the class and said, "My name is Tommy. I am Methodist, and this is a casserole."

That could have been said by a Baptist also, we love "eatin' meetins'!"
