I AM THANKFUL

For my health, that I can walk, breathe, bathe myself, drive my self, read, comprehend, to love and be loved.
O give thanks unto the Lord

Scripture for my day:

"Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD; and the fruit of the womb is His reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of thy youth" Psalm 127: 3, 4

Thank you Lord, for our first pregnancy that went on home to heaven, for our second--Randal Eugene, now going on 44, the father of 3 of our precious grandaughters--Breana at Arkansas U Fayetville, Chelsea a senior at Springfield Kickapoo, and Megan, in her first year at Cherokee Middle School

Then came Patrick Wayne, who will be 42 come Valentine's day, and his wife, Becky. Patrick and Becky have Will in his first grade year, and Zach.

Then 3 years later, we had Kevin Dean, and he married his college sweetheart, Candice. They are truly servants with 6 biological, 3 children they brought home from Liberia--a total of 9 they home school, and home church.

Kevin and Patrick's both have experience a loss of a child in pregnancy that has gone home to Jesus, that we will all get to hold and know when we arrive there.

And because of my sweetheart and wife--Barbara with God's help, He has blessed me.

One week from today

One week from today, we'll gather as a family. We'll be going to Grandma Betty's for lunch & it'll be a blessing. First with God's blessing, then with family, and last with food. Then we'll close the day with our boys, as they begin arriving for us to have family time together on Friday. Oh, the excitement of all 14 of the grandchildren being here, the boys with their spouses (our daughters)--not in law---but our only daughters, the mother of the grandkids. Thank you, Lord for family, for my wife---Barb
