One of the biggest things that I have learned over the years is that I have a 💗 heart that loves deep.    I do believe that there are many different levels of love, and in life, we all experience love in so many different ways.

The deepest level of love can be the BEST, but it can also bring pain.  God's love for his children is so very deep.  Deep enough for HIM to send HIS only begotten son, to live on earth, to die on a cross, in order for us to have Eternal Life.    HE also loves us so very much that it sadly brings pain when we choose sinful living over giving our Best to Him.

Have you ever loved that deep?  Deep enough for you to feel pain?


For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

                                                 ~~~~~~






This is what I do when I am in the middle of a storm....I learn to adjust my sails and move forward.   I can assure you that God is there helping me adjust my sails each and every time that they need adjusting.  

 What can we do when we see people in the midst of storms..... ?What can we do when we see people hurting.....?   

We lean in and stand in the gap, and we Pray... for those that are facing all kinds of trials or sickness.   I have so many friends right now, who are going through some very difficult times.  It hurts to see them struggling and in pain.   

Colossians 3:12 reads....

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 

I believe that God gave me an extra portion of compassion!

I want everyone to be Happy!  I don't want anyone to have any worries....and I am very saddened when people are sick.  I'm sure that I am no different from many of you.....I see much kindness and love in each of your post.

You know what I love about having my blog and being able to post 'everyday' if I so choose???   

When I am overwhelmed with joy....I love to write about it
When I am stressed or feeling a little down...I can write my feelings in my post, and it's as if, almost instantly, I feel better!

I am free to share prayer needs and I can pray for the needs that my blogging friends have.   

I am truthfully very THANKFUL for the love that God has placed in my heart for others....

My heart is loaded with compassion for those I love, as well as for people everywhere.........and I know that God placed it there for a reason....I consider this a gift and I want to use this gift to the best of my ability....to bring glory to God.   

Hugs to you all...

It was a rainy day, but nothing stops True Love!

My header picture was just a photo taken from Shanda's phone....but I wanted to go ahead and share the wedding with my friends.  


Emalee was such a Beautiful Bride... 


This past Sunday, was the wedding of our grandson and his gorgeous Bride.    Tyler and Emalee joined their lives together as husband and wife and the wedding was so very pretty....

I can't wait for the photos to be done so I can share them with you.

The two of them are enjoying a warm and sunny Honeymoon on one of the beautiful islands in the Caribbean.     

They will be back next weekend.....but it will be a very short time of us getting to see them.   They load the truck Sunday and head out across the Country to the Military base where Tyler has been stationed for the past year.   Gosh..  I'm going to miss them.  

Much more on the wedding, as soon as the photographer finishes editing the photos.

                                                  ~~~~~


Tammy and her cousin Bryan.   

Tammy and Bryan attended the "Night to Shine" prom last Friday night...... it was hosted by Tim Tebow and his organization.  

Don't they look so pretty and handsome?  I feel very Blessed for Tammy to be involved with BVT, a Faith Based Community for adults who have mild intellectual and developmental disabilities.

She attends the day program where she is active 3 days a week.  Tammy is on the list to become a resident, and we are keeping the need for her to be accepted as a resident, in our Prayers!

February has certainly been a busy month....so far!
Much more to come this month.   

Hope you all enjoy Valentines Day.....

Every day is a day of Hearts.....but February 14th has a few extra

Ok Friends.   I think I might need your help!!!!

I certainly am not very tech savvy and with all the changes coming from Google.....I'm not sure what I need to do.  

I've had this blog since 2010 and I can truly say that I have learned a whole lot.   However, I don't always understand the language that comes from technology.  I actually am a visual learner rather than understanding when I read.  

Any advice that you all can give me will be greatly appreciated.    What do I do?  What changes do I need to make?  What do you use for your blog?   What changes need to be made for comments?  

Thanks so much in advance.....
