HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JEMMA......

Our sweet Jemma turned 9 yrs. old today. Where does the time go? I can't believe how these children grow so fast.

This is at Easter when Rob and Carol were here.

And this is Jemma with their dog, Kennedy.....They had her friend birthday today at Fish Creek and tomorrow, we will celebrate at Gramma and Grandpa's house.

We love you so much Jemma. You are so special in our eyes. We are praying for you every day that God would continue to guide and protect you as you grow. Have a fun birthday.

Beautiful Elbow Falls......

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO OUR THREE AMAZING DAUGHTERS......

O, give me , God the wisdom that I need
To mold the tender lives within my care;
Give me the power that I may carefully lead
Them into righteous fields to settle there.

I ask for them no rainbowed paths of ease;
I ask for them no store of wealth or fame;
I only ask that by their lives they please
You, O God who is their Friend, always the same.

I know that man is weak and life is strong,
And sometimes honest roads look very drear;
On those days that seem to be so long,
I ask for Your guidance to appear......

And while I have my young beneath my wing,
God, help me guide them right in everything.
And make a path for them to go......
Knowing that their Friend, Jesus loves them so.

Your daddy and I are so proud of the women you have become and especially the mothers you have become. We know it can be such a challenge to raise children in this day and age but we also know that God does and will supply strength for the day no matter what comes and He is cheering for you. He loves you and your husband and children desperately and wants the best for you. You know we continually pray for you and your beautiful children every day. But we want to especially honor you today as mothers.
WE LOVE YOU.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY............

LOVE AND PRAYERS,

Mom and Dad

JOY OF SPRING.....

GRAMMA WAS ASKED TO WRITE A POEM ABOUT SPRING BY THE WELLNESS GIRLS THAT WORK AT THE HOME WHERE SHE LIVES. THIS IS THE POEM.....I THOUGHT SHE DID VERY WELL.......SHE LOVES TO WRITE POETRY AND HAS STARTED HER LIFE STORY AS WELL.......


JOY OF SPRING:

Softly we wander down the sunlit path
With the sky above us reflected
in the quiet waters of the lake below.
Its gentle lapping reminds us of a Mother's soft caress
on her wee one's brow.

Not long before, the winter storms blew cold,
and snow was drifted deep on windowsills!
While Jack Frost painted snowy scenes and hills
and left us shivering from their icy cold!

When would we feel again,
the warm sun's comfort
Shine through the frosty windowpane?
To melt the frigid ice and snow of winter and
bring the flowers and birdsong back again.

But then one morning waking very early,
I heard a welcome birdcall sound.
A Robin with his "cheery cheer up''!
My heart in happy answer did abound.

Then, soon, more wonders did appear,
the fuzzy little crocus raised its head of blue to greet the sun.
The grass turned green and warm beneath our feet,
The chickadees spring song, so sweet, had soon begun!

How could these things just happen?
Was it not a God of Love?
Who formed them for our pleasure,
And sent them from above?

Now as springtime is before us,
may we praise our God above,
who showered us with blessings.....
But most of all......HIS LOVE.

For above all else He gave us...
Was His only Blessed Son,
To take our sin, upon His Cross,
And die for everyone!

Then receive Him as your Savior,
And in His Love abide,
Then I'll meet you in the morning,
safe on Heaven's Glory Side.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NANC!

With her sisters.......

With her family.......

Out for dinner.......

WE LOVE YOU, NANC. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
