WOW, how SWEET is this!
Warren brought this home from his week
business training trip in Colorado!
It is a company perk -
given to us for our own personal use-
and we get to keep it!
Now if I can just learn how to use it!

I'm a Big Girl Now...
I have to post a little story about our almost 3 year old gdaughter. We were chatting at the table and our conversation went like this:
Savannah: "I'm not a baby, I'm a BIG girl now!" (she said this because she got to sit in a regular chair instead of her highchair).
Neenee: "Yes, you are a Big girl! And big girls obey their mommy and daddy...that's how I can tell you are a big girl now!
Savannah: "I'm not a baby, I'm a BIG girl now!" (she said this because she got to sit in a regular chair instead of her highchair).
Neenee: "Yes, you are a Big girl! And big girls obey their mommy and daddy...that's how I can tell you are a big girl now!
Savannah quickly responds: I'm a little girl!

Our Precious Camden
This pic was taken after Cam's crainofacial surgery to correct his misshaped head and possible pressure to the brain. We are praising The Great Physician for a successful surgery. Dr. Genecov said that all went excellent during the surgery. Our Father God does all things excellent so we praise and thank HIM indeed!
During Cam's recovery time his blood count will be checked twice a day. If it goes to an 8 he will be given a blood transfusion. Right now it's at a 9. As you can imagine Cam is cranky and agitated when he is awake. Since he has also been throwing up he was given meds for nausia and pain.
There is little swelling now as seen in the pic above but by tomorrow morning his eyes will be swollen shut:( This swelling should begin to go down in about 48 hrs. Cam will not be released from the hospital until he can open his eyes (Sat. or Sun.)
So we continue to pray for an excellent recovery for our precious grandson:) And we thank you all for your prayers. We count on them:)
Dr Genecov was able to make the same incision as Cam's first one from his first surgery at 4 months old. That means Cam will only have one scar on his head. Thank you Lord!

Life has been good with this man I married...
REALLY GOOD!
Indeed I am SO BLESSED to be his wife:)
Thank you, the love of my life,

Mayonnaise jar & Two Cokes...
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Cokes.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two cokes from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. 'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else---the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coke represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.' The coke just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cokes with a friend :)

I'm "A Holding You"
I love it when God shows me one of His truths by way of a "picture story"! When He does this I have the truth deep in my heart and cannot forget it. It cannot be taken away from me!
We had the pleasure of going to the Balloon Festival Glow Show with granddaughters' Abbie & Savannah, and their parents. Darkness came upon us and it was time to walk back to our cars which were parked in a field. Without a care in the world two year old Savannah took my hand as we walked!
Yes, she was holding my hand but unaware to her I was "a holding" her hand: being sure to guide her every step so she would not stumble or fall...making sure she did not veer off into the street packed with moving cars...guiding her around holes in the ground and rocks that might cause her to trip...shielding her from those who might run into her...encouraging her to walk forward and not look back!
Yes, she was holding my hand, but I was "a holding" hers:) We made it safely to our destination!
The next day as I was thinking about our fun time with the gdaughters and how sweetly Savannah held my hand when the Lord spoke to my heart:
"Kathy, that's the same thing I do for you! As you walk through life holding My Hand, you can be assured that I'm "a holding" yours!"
How precious to me...God was once again confirming His Hand and Hold on my life! I can walk through each day knowing:
He is in control of my every step;
He is leading me down the path that pleases Him;
He is my Help when I veer off His Path to get back on it;
He is my Protector and Shield;
He is my Encourager & Hope.
Thank you, Lord, for this picture of Your Great Care and Love for me and each one of your followers in Christ.
"and a child shall lead them" Isaiah 11:6
