We have just gone through an incredible time during the holidays. This is the first Christmas in several years that we live a couple of hours away from them. I really miss being able to jump in the car and be at their house in about 25 minutes. Likewise, it was always nice when they would just drop in for a visit and some free snacks.
I love my grandkids. They bring me much joy. I have 5. Mattie is 11. Samuel is 10. Mallory is 9. Tucker is 7. Macy is 4. They all have such different personalities! God created them all so differently, yet they share common parents. I have gotten alot of good sermon material from the things they say and do.
Recently Tucker (7) got an MP3 player for Christmas from his grandmother, Bobbie. When the ear buds would not fit in his small ears, Tucker went downstairs, found the duct tape and like any good man he taked the ear buds into his ears! Amy, my daughter, told me that the duct tape was still on there and they were working on getting it off easily so that the tape does notpull his ears off in the process!! Tucker is quite the guy -- he is the consumate pessimist and I am sure that this was the worst day of his life!!!
The way you look at things really does make a huge difference in the way you respond to the events that come inot your life. If we look at things through God's perspective our lives will truly change.
Pray today and ask God to give you the correct view of your situation! God will open your eyes and you will see the truth.

how fun to have a blog, i like these much better than email-alot more fun to read. glad to hear that you and debbie are getting settled in your new town/home/church. i know when i moved to the northwest from texas it was the hardest thing i've done, i kept saying 'god, just guide me in the direction and open the doors if they are meant to be opened'. it really is comforting to rely on faith that way, i gained alot of awareness from that experience.
glad ya'll are well, miss you and love you. hope to see you sooner than later!

glad you guys are getting settled in your new place! when i moved to the nw from texas it was really hard. i kept saying 'god, please open the doors if they are supposed to be open, guide me in the right direction'. it is so comforting when we can rely on faith in that way and not question everything.
miss you and love you guys, hope to see you sooner than later!
