LOVE

"Love doesn't hide. It stays and fights. It goes the distance.
That's why God made love so strong.
So it can carry you all the way home."

MONKEYSTORY #710

Today was the Monday that everything that could go wrong....well it went wrong...or got real stinky.

Took a certain adorable little monkey with me to a certain post office that had a certain large lobby.
A lobby with a very tall ceiling.
A lobby with shiny, hard floors.
A lobby with hard walls.
A lobby with that was very, very, very large and quiet.
A lobby that echoed everything said or heard.

A certain little monkey decided to toot....very long....and very loud in that very quiet lobby.
And then that toot made a very smelly smelly smelly stink in that lobby.
And then that certain monkey giggled oh so quietly....but said a little bit way too loudly:
"Mommy!! Mommy! I really have to go poop right now!!!"

This Mama Monkey may or may not have fled that very tallish, quietish lobby that held 2 gentlemen clerks standing behind the window....waiting very patiently for my business. Eye contact was not made and papers were gathered up super quickly.
The monkies took their business elsewhere.....but left a stinky trail.

Yes today was the Monday that went all wrong....but I'm sure it gave someone else a smile :)

God's Promises

Jeremiah 33:3 

" Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." 

KJV

"Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own. "

The Message

In Loving Memory of Beautiful Jane

 

 

One of the most beautiful and kind hearted women went home to Heaven this morning.

Our family will never forget her.....she has left one of the most amazing legacy's of love that a person could ever leave here on earth.

She stood by my Mama's side over all these years....praying, encouraging, and laughing with her.

She would always remind me as we grew up that Jesus was always greater than any tough situation we had to go thru.

She taught me that just like the flowers needed water, sunshine, and love....so did the people in our lives.

She taught our little monkies the Thank You Jesus song prayer we pray at the lunchtable every day. My heart just cries out and breaks for the family...life isn't fair...I really honestly just want to throw a huge hissy fit,stomp my foot and yell at the Heavens:

"You can't have her yet!!! We still need her here! There are people who still need her love she gave so freely and unendingly!!!"

But yet this is what remains loud and clear: Our lives have been changed forever by her.

She loved like Jesus does and now its her turn for her reward.

She's dancing on the streets of gold,no more pain or tears...

So grateful today for legacy leavers and that no matter how dark or deep the valleys of life get...that beautiful mansions on mountaintops await us and

there will always always be hope.

Friends Are Friends Forever

Friends

"I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun."
