Written by Sue, Monday, May25, 2015                absolutely beautiful, sunny, warm 80's

Remembering, honoring, and being thankful to those, and their families who gave their all that we might have and enjoy the freedoms that we so enjoy, and blessed beyond measure! You are not forgotten!!

We are covering this nation in prayer, That the freedoms afforded us through so much sacrifice will not be in vain! 

II Chronicles 7:14~ If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

 We are also

Praying for those, too, and their families  who are now serving that these freedoms that so many gave their lives for will continue. You are always in our thoughts and hearts.

On this Memorial Day weekend grandson was promoted to Petty Officer 2nd class, United States Navy.We're so proud of you grandson and love you very much.

Philippians 1:3-4~ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer on mine making request for all with joy,

   Blessings,

Sue

"This Journey Called Life!"

Written by Sue, Tuesday, May19, 2015             sunny, hot, thunderstorms in evening, temps. 90's


Saturday, I finished another chapter, In my book "This Journey Called Life',"I have probably finished three/fourths of mine. ~smile~, it was the chapter in which I was a part time caregiver for an Alzheimer patient! Leaving was one of the toughest decisions I have ever made, but for my own health, I had to say goodbye!

My shift was from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Wednesday and Friday, I would get up at 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning, work all day, shower and go to work in the evening, leave at 8 a.m. on Thursday, come home, shower, instead of going to bed, I worked until evening, (I am not a daytime sleeper, no matter if I am up all night,) This put me up for about 40 straight hours! I would repeat this same schedule on Friday!

Needless to say something went lacking...... Me! I am amazed that I was able to work for as long as I did, it is only through the strength given to me by my Heavenly Father that I was able to continue!

PSALM 29-11~ The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace!

I am so thankful for the opportunity to have served this family, though, it was I who was blessed beyond words,  I learned so much about this most dreaded disease! How to appreciate each day given to me, to be more thankful for my blessings, especially my health! I formed a lasting bond both with this precious gentleman, and his family! As you can see I gained more than what I gave!

~Life continues on the farm~

We have a new baby born this week

~There is no love like a Mother's Love!~

 This makes number five, donkeys are very family oriented, very entertaining, and can kick real hard!~ouch~ We have not quite figured out the gender yet, the names we have chosen are Jake or Joy!

Have a blessed day,

Hugs,

Sue
