Grandchildren

Oh the joy of my young blessings. I love them so much. I had the 2 youngest Wolfe children, John and Lilia yesterday morning. They are wonderful. We bought the fixings for carmel apples. I wasn't sure how well a 2 year old could help. Well, I should know this is Lilia and not just any 2 year old. First John put sticks in the apples. John opened the carmels alone at a rapid rate and Lilia did the same with a start on each carmel by gma. They never stopped or complained one second. I thought it would be frustrating to wait for the carmels to melt, but no, John was faithful the whole 20+ minutes it took to melt them. He then dipped the apples like a pro. I held Lilia's hand for guidance and she did her share also. No I don't have a picture to attach. It is a precious picture in my minds eye.

Seasons of Life

I am now a semi retired nurse and able to see my husband off each day. No I haven't taken to making him breakfast as in the very early years. As he was leaving, I looked at him and saw the changes for a moment. The graying hair, slight age lines yet still the handsome man of my youth. I said to him" I am so glad to have been with you all these years and through all the stages of life with all the emotions attached."

Who am I and how did I get HERE!

I am early retirement age and have never done a diary or been good at sharing who I am. Now the whole world can read this. I am in a happy place and appreciate my the friends around me and feel gifted to have friends from decades back who love and appreciate me. It is completely puzzling how I woke up one morning and my youth, young adulthood, adulthood is gone and I am moving to young old. So many life experiences that reflect my own journey and becoming who I am today. How would one have a sense of joy and comfort if you had not had all the complex emotional experiences of sorrow, anger,hurt,and ongoing challenges that make up a human. Where does this joy and comfort come through a partial lifetime lived. It is through the years of being a believer in the provision and person of Jesus Christ and walking with Him through faith in the Bible, prayer and the working of His Holy Spirit in my life. Thank you dear Lord for your provision for me!

Too many blog sites

I have created 3 blogs sights and don't know how to delete 2 of them. Any thoughts out there?
