AUTUMN FESTIVAL

FAMILY DINNER CELEBRATING GOD'S GIFT OF AUTUMN with an AUTUMN FESTIVAL.  It was simply wonderful.  The colors, the variety of foods. The many different flavors.

The glow of the fire, enjoying togetherness in God's outdoors.  So awesome, so lovely.- Making you aware of the amazing gifts God has blessed us with--especially FAMILY.

Amelia and Stephen could not make it.  We missed them,  but their wonderful GANG was there.  Mostly, we missed Travis, my Love, their Dad, their Papa.  We were sitting around in front of the fire remembering his goodness in our lives, with tears, smiles, laughter,  and gratitude.

 FAMILY just isn't the same when a loved one is not there.

Grief Barriers

Get beyond the barriers of the past and start expecting God to do great things in your future.

LOVE OF MY LIFE

MY SOULMATE

YOU are the LOVE of MY LIFE, and I will be YOURS FOREVER ...

IF I CAN STOP ONE HEART FROM BREAKING...

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

                             

                 -Emily Dickinson



And this has been my philosophy for all of my life

Lyrics to Kim Hill's song, IN YOU ALONE, just in case you like to sing like I do : )

I lift my eyes when I am troubled
I lift my hands, I lift my heart
And there I stand knowing nothing can defeat me
Just as long as I know where You are

In You alone
Is where I find my comfort

In You Alone

You're my only hope

In You alone
My heart has found a resting place

In You alone
In You alone

So I won't fear though darkness hides me
No, I won't let my courage sway
For You are near and at the brightness of Your glory
The shadows of the night melt away

In You alone
Is promise I can cling to

In You alone
You're my security

In You alone
My soul has found a dwelling place
Only in You alone

What could separate me from Your love?
Neither life nor death, nor anything at all
Anything at all

In You alone
Is where I find my comfort

In You alone
You're my only hope

In You alone
My heart has found a resting place

Only in You alone
Only in You alone
Only in You alone
