GOD opened doors for us to witness to strangers, to share HIS mercy and grace to those who only believe in "happy" lives. HE blessed our time together in profound, spiritual ways that kept the GOD BUMPS on our skin for hours at a time. We shared the grief of the death of D and Bo by celebrating their lives and honoring them with flowers on their graves.
She met the blessings of my life Ian, Carter Dean and of course Jill who she already knows and loves. Two women joined by so many ties that bind, growing closer and closer as the years age us and life changes us. It was truly a glorious, fast paced weekend spent with a wonderful GODLY woman.
JoDee and Kaylin joined us on Saturday and life just got more intense, happier, fuller and exciting. We laughed harder, shared more memories and made some more new ones. Aunt Marilyn's little dog Willow almost ate Kaylin up. Seems like not everyone likes Kaylin. It was so funny we laughed till we cried. Everytime Kaylin got close to me the dog attacked her.
We all got up and went to church together on Sunday. It was nice having a full pew on Sunday. My little family the Booher's were home from vacation and our section of the church was alive for the first time in a while. Jill even made it so it felt good to be in GOD's house today.
Then there was a beautiful wedding right after church,two wonderful people that I know.
Kem and Mark, it was such a simple ceremony that it couldn't have been any more perfect. I was taking their wedding pictures and today was the first time since Christmas I have picked up my camera. GOD gave me the most magnificient surprise and blessing on the camera. Christmas pictures I had totally forgotten about. One is of D and me, I looked at that picture and started crying. D looks so healthy, his arms are around me, he is loving me and I am loving him. It is our first Christmas without Bo, Ian took the picture and we are trying so hard to have a great Christmas for the famiy. The picture speaks a thousand words. WE DID IT !! We pulled it off. Not only do we look happy, you can see the love on our faces. I love this blessing that GOD gave me this morning.
Kem and Mark's wedding hit my heart hard, reminding me that no matter what you are going thru, GOD will be right there with you. No matter how big or how small your wedding is, it is perfect when the people are in love.
Whether you are married 2 weeks, 2 years, 25 years or 60 years, if GOD is the center of your marriage, if you love each other and put the needs of your life partner first, you will know the meaning of true love. I am in love with my GOD and love the man HE gifted to me in D.
Tonight I thank my FATHER for the blessings of my GODLY Aunt, my loving daughter, grandchildren, sister and niece who are willing to take time from their lives to spend hours and days with me. Praising GOD for the lessons I learn from loving these people and the way they bless my life. Tonight I ask GOD to rain HIS blessing down on Kem and Mark, to place HIS healing hands on Mark, to provide comfort, guidance and wisdom to them in the days and weeks ahead. I thank my sweet FATHER for the love of Daniel, Debbie and my sweet little family, my church family and my friends. Tonight I am blessed to be walking this earth, to be sharing my life with those who chose to share it with me. I love you all. Good Night.
