Praying for Oklahoma

Almost everyone has heard of the tragedy that struck Oklahoma multiple times over the last couple of days.  As following the Boston Marathon tragedy, people have come together once more to comfort and encourage those less fortunate.  It is such a shame that it takes a tragedy to bring people together, but it's also an amazing thing to see people working together side-by-side for the good of others.  Please join me as we continue to pray for the victims and their families, for emergency workers - firefighters, first reponders, police officers - and for all those who are lending a hand to aid those in need.

Grateful!!

This was Mother's Day weekend.  I am thankful for my sweet husband, my two children, and my two beautiful grandchildren.  I was able to spend time with only one son and one grandchild, but the day was special. 

I also was privileged to spend time with my Mama.  She has a lot on her plate right now and has for some time, but she continues to move forward.  When I am 80, I can only pray that I will be willing to take care of my ill husband, a house, be active in my church, and continue to care enough to pray for my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.  I only wish that my children would take advantage of spending time with their grandparents while they still can and allowing their children to know their great grandparents.  I would give the world to have my grandparents in my life - so many memories, but so many lost because their lives were not long-lived. 

I pray that your Mother's Day was filled with special memories that will never be forgotten by you or your loved ones. 

'Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:'  Proverbs 31: 28

May your week be special and may your glass always be half-full!
