A pause

My sweet friend Mrs. Sarah Dotson has been battling Breast cancer for over two years.  Last night, on Easter Sunday, she passed away and is finally free of the horrible bonds that enabled her to fly the way she wanted to with her husband and 8 year old little girl. 

I was checking in with her husband yesterday before she passed.  He told me that even though she was HEAVILY sedated and gasping for air, when her daughter went in to see her for the last time, something miraculous happened.  She sat up, acknowleged her "Bella," hugged her and Bella said "I love you, mommy."  Then Sarah laid back down and and everyone even Daddy was exhausted. 

He asked me "How could that happen?"  I only responded with my first thought, "all things are possible with God." 

God is with us every step of the way in our times of trials and joys.  In time Dave and Bella will heal.  Sarah is with her mama and her daddy and Jesus is rejoicing in the life she lived for Him.  Kiss the ones you love, tell the ones you love that you love them, after telling that you love them hold them like they will not be there tomorrow.

Life as we know it...

Little Lala is 4 and making up her own songs. She has been singing them to me and then has me write them down for her.  I am starting to cherish these as they are so heart felt.

My Mom is not naughty, but nice.
She is so nice, she is comfy, warm ,snuggly and cozy with life.
She see's the sun every time and says you are nice every time she see's the beauty.
She helps us when we get hurt.  She is a great mom. The best mom in the world.
She goes and see's the world with the sun.

Free food!

Yes free food but it takes times.

James had a good friend help him process the deer he shot.  This is what he got out of that sweet little deer.

-1 tenderloin (that was DELICIOUS!)

-3 lbs of stew meat

-10 steaks

-5 roasts

- A bag of jerky.

-16 lbs of hamburger

Subtract the (2) bullets he shot, the hot hand and foot hands he used, new gloves, new warm hat, cold toes and a day of nature.  We did pretty darn good!
