Day 218 ~ On My Own



Well, today we woke up without the "little guy" babbling to us. Sure do miss him. The next time we will see him will be on his "1" Year birthday in September.

Today looks to be another wonderful, beautiful day. I feel great (except for an arthritis flare-up....again). I just need to keep busy as to not let the pain get to me. As a matter of fact, my friend Kay & I are taking a hour drive in the convertible. We will do a little shopping and attend a craft class tonight. It will be a fun day.

Did I say...I miss the grand-children? Luke & Anna are such a huge part of my life.....I wish that we had them more than we do. Anna is sometimes here so much...that she'll call me "mom".....and then say "oops", I mean grandma! With Anna being in 1st Grade this year, and having piano lessons one night and religious education another, it will only leave weekends. Two of those weekends a month, we have
diaconte schooling in Milwaukee. It is a great time to spend with Jeff. The chapters in our lives just keep changing.

On this glorious day, I wish you all a happy, healthy, successful week.

Blessing, Janet

When your alarm goes off in the morning, open your eyes and repeat this line from the Psalms: "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad."

Commit to living in gratitude for the day, and you'll soon notice how much happier your days can become.

Beautiful pictures, Janet. He is a cutie. I know what you mean about little ones warming our hearts. I have two neices who I spend most of the weekend with every other week. It's hard to see them go.

I love the pic from your previous post with your hand and Luke's. How precious. It's hard to believe we had hands that small at one time. Isn't the human body amazing in how it grows and changes so vastly? Only our God could do that.

I've finally posted the second part of the Beth Moore conference. Check it out when you can.
Love,
Paula
