BLESSINGS

This family runs on being blessed beyond measure. It amazes me just how many people that the Lord brings to help our family. It is small things, big things even huge things, but always we have what we need and a lot of what we want. My heart is just full beyond measure really.

I think of today. Well, it actually started a few days ago when our grand daughters anounced that they were going to see Hannah Montana 3D. I guess I had secretly hoped that they would invite LisaMarie to go with them, but that was not the case. I knew that we would not have time this weekend and then it would be time for school again. Then it happened, before I could even think about it. Char, LisaMarie's mentor called to take LisaMarie to lunch today. This is not all that unusual as Char take LisaMarie several times a month to do all kinds of things. Then, when she arrived, she quietly askes me if it was okay to take LisaMarie to see Hannah Montana 3D. WOW!!!!. So without LisaMarie even knowing what was happening, they went to the movies, not only got in, but then ran into our grand daughters and got to sit with them.

I am not sure about Char, but LisaMarie had the time of her life. She was singing some of the songs all afternoon, dancing away in her room, just having the time of her life. Like I said, this family runs on blessings.

More on our blessings tomorrow......but for today...thank you Char for making our LisaMarie one very happy little girl. You take her breath away nearly every time you come to get her. No matter what you do, be it puzzles, walks with Hops, Chuck E. Chesse, or Hannah Montana 3D, you really rock her world and we thank you for that.

WOW, first of all, I am in shock with the email that I have received. It is unreal that someone even thinks this highly about this family. We see us as a mom and a dad to many children...that is true....but something this wonderful...well, I am not sure about that. Rather than try to explain it, here are excerpts from the email....

PROUD DAY TO BE PARENTS :o)

I am not too sure that it gets much better than this at this stage of life. I wanted to post this yesterday, but I just ran out of time. Merrill and I received a letter informing us that LisaMarie was in the second grade math Olympics at school. Now this in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. Only the top five students from each class were chosen. So Merrill took off and I got a babysitter for MacGyver. Off we went. Now I am a little sadden to say that we did not really expect much to happen. We felt it an honor that LisaMarie had made it this far. We got there a little early, got a good seat and sat back to enjoy the competition. Oh my, let me tell you we were on the edge of our seats after about three rounds. LisaMarie was faster than we even knew she could be. She was confident, poised and all together in control, not like her parents sitting out in the crowd. Maybe it helps to be the only girl at home with so many boys, you tend to have it more together than most....LOL. Roun...

JUNE 30, 1978

HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY!!!! How does one even begin to express the joy that I feel in my heart and soul for being blessed to have been married to the most wonderful man for 30 years? The bottom line, I can't Anything I write here is a feeble attempt to try to convey what is in my heart. My cup truly runneth over. My wishes, that both of my parents were alive to see this day. My daddy came close, my mom not so. They had their doubts about Merrill and in the end they both knew that he was all that I ever really needed and in him I could really have everything I ever dreamed of. How does one really reflect over the past 30 years of life. Life in and of itself is just amazing. We all go through up and downs. We all face day to day challenges that at times we are not sure we will ride it out. Many times we lose the battles, but in the end we really win the war. We have had to say goodbye to so many people that we loved and cherished. Some of those went in a proper time frame, many of tho...
