Just a little bit of this and a pinch of that to make sure that memory's are being documented.

A Pinecone By Any Other Name
Since our oldest son, Garth, was 3 years old the poor pinecone has been known around our house as a pineapple. It became a lesson to us as parents as to how fast children learn the spoken word. I bring this up now because our daughter-in-law called yesterday to inform me that Miss Ashley, our granddaughter had brought in a pinecone and referred to it as a coconut. So it continues on, the pinecone is know in our family as an Hawaiian fruit.

Saved voice mail messages
I have been saving voice mail messages on my phone messaging system for some time now. I like to play them back every now and then just to hear the sound of my kids and grandkids voices. Am I the only one. After a hectic day at the office or just to hear the voices gives me a much needed lift in my heart. It is something in the voice which captures my heart and lets me know that I am special. Being so far away from the children and grandchildren has its ups and downs. We (dh) know and understand that each of our three children have lives and responsibilities of their own. We are so thankful that each child stays in touch, keeps us up on the latest of what the children are doing and leaves precious little messages on the phone or emails the latest picture. The Lord has us right where we are so supposed to be for this time in our lives. This is what sustains me during this time, knowing that God is Faithful and keeps all things. And my prayer is and always will be to Keep them until the day of Your return.

April's Beginnings
April 1st came and went that if I don't get womething written here it will be the beginning of May. But what to write about. well my brother Michael called me at work today to find out my daughter's phone number and we chatted for almost an hour. He seems to be doing well truckdriving from San Diego to Seattle. He said that he had stopped by Amy's house last week and had such a good time that he thought of ringing her up again to see if he could visit for awhile. He was stuck there overnight and needed some company. God is so amazing in how he works things out. And how you would never think, or consider, or comtemplate what and how it all comes about, but for God and His awesome workings. Another reason to be thankful for all that you have and will have in the future because God whispers and It is So. Thank you Father Abba for all that you do for us.
