We'll Miss You

A million times we'll miss you.
A million times we'll cry.
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place
No one else could ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God took you home.

This past week has been a blurr...I feel like I'm in a bad dream and I wish I could wake. I loved my Paw-Paw dearly. He wasn't sick hadn't been to the dr. he was always on the go. 83 years young and worked 3 days a week. It was his time the way he would have wanted to go..quick with no sickness so I'm greatful for that! His service was beautiful! He was a WW2 vet. And was buried with his bible. Something about losing the last of your grandparents. He had such a sweet soul! What a wonderful "homegoing" he had. I love you Paw-Paw.

Better than a Hallelujah

You know how sometimes you hear a song and for some reason it just speaks to you and you are flooded with emotions and it fits either the day your having or something that is going on in your life well this is one of them. I heard it today and I thought wow! God loves us no matter what. All the mistakes we make and all the things going on in this crazy world he continues to love us. So I looked it up on you tube to get the lyrics and watch the video I love it even more now. It's sung by Amy Grant....amazing!

God loves a lullaby
In a mother's tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

God loves the drunkard's cry
The soldier's plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

The woman holding on for life
The dying man giving up the fight
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes

The tears of shame for what's been done
The silence when the words won't come
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes.

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

Better than a church bell ringing
Better than a choir singing out, singing out

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah

Difficult Moments.....Seek God.
Quiet Moments.....Worship God.

Greatest man in history...

Greatest man in history named Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him master. Had no degree, yet they called Him teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called Him healer. Had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. Committed no crime, yet....they crucified Him. He was...buried in a tomb, yet He lives today!!!

First day of school 2010

Can't believe it's the first day of school. Kayley is in the 6th grade and Cody is in 2nd. I think they were excited but wished summer could last a little longer. I pray they have a great school year. Kayley is so grown up and she was nervous this morning 6th grade is a hard age group but she will do fine. My little man, seems like yesterday he was in kindergarten it goes by so fast. The house is so quite....yes!! Hope they have a good day I'll hear all about it this afternoon....I love it! My sweet kiddos...I love you!!   Mom.

Where did summer go??

I can not believe the kiddos start school next week! This summer has flown by...fast! I think I'm ready..till all the homework begins. Kayley will be in the 6th grade and Cody will be in 2nd. They are growing up way to fast!! I hope they have a really good school year. Last year was not the best but I have faith that this year will be better. I hope. They have had a great summer but Tony has been gone for most of it. We went and stayed a couple of weeks with him in Louisana that was fun great shopping too. I think we are going down there this weekend one last time before school starts. It's so hard not having him here but you do what ya gotta do..right? We miss him soooo much! We begin Kayley's orthodontic treatments tom. she will be getting something called a crib that sits on the roof of her mouth to keep her from pushing out her teeth. She has to wear that for 12 to 18 months and then she will get her braces. She is so ready to get started I am too can't wait to she her new beautiful smile when it's all over with. She is a little worried about the pain but I've told her it will be so worth it. We are taking her to Dr. Lorentz in Corinth I have heard nothing but great things about his work. Hope everything goes well and it's not to uncomfortable. I can't imgaine having something in the roof of my mouth for over a year...but she'll be fine. I'm going to take pictures along the way so we can see how she changes the Dr. said she will look totally different her jaw line will change and the shape of her face will change she'll be even more beautiful than she already is. My hope is if we can get started now she won't be in braces her whole high school life and maybe have them off before her senior year..senior year..oh my lord!!!
