What a real man is

I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just…. Genesis 18:19

Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge. Proverbs 14:26

Listen to your father who gave you life… Proverbs 23:22

Dad I read these scriptures and think of you.

You have shown me what a real man truly is by the way you live, love and provide for your family.  You are a blessing and will always be my hero!

Happy Birthday Dad!

I love you dearly,

Anna

Happy Monday Everyone!

Whoever you are I love you...

There is a buying for Target who must love Dachshunds.

And whoever you are I love you!
I always find the coolest dachshund things there. 
e.g.

 Tape dispenser for me, and sippy cups for my Wayway. :)

No more single digits

Shannie is the big “1” “0” today!

Happy Birthday joy of my life!

I’m so proud of the little lady you are becoming.

Of your gentle heart,

and your silly sense of humor.

I love just chatting with you and discovering 

the wonders of the world with you.

I know one day you are going to change the 

world with the gifts God has placed in you.

I know this because you have already changed mine…the very moment I looked upon that beautiful face of yours I was never the same.

You truly are my sunshine!

Love, Grammy

Finally!

Happy First day of spring!

I made it through

Grief comes suddenly.

However, I have found it goes away in layers.

Recently I’ve felt another layer lift off me.

This is not caused by an event of any kind, it’s just the mercy of God as you walk through this valley, that removes the layers.

Often I don’t even realize the depth of each layers sorrow till it’s lifted off of me.

And as I make it through each layer I feel stronger and more alive than ever.

This one has brought a peaceful acceptance and a great expectation of what God has for me.

And with each layer I am making it through :)
