Let us rejoice!

I  have been keeping in close contact with Mom and the caretakers.  As the days go by, Dad gets more and more back into his "routine" as it was prior to getting very ill with the urinary tract issues.  Mom said he is sleeping better at night, but wants to stay  up and watch movies, mostly westerns, until 11:00 or later!  Then, he likes to sleep until about noon each day!  That's okay with us now that Mom has 24 hour help!  The worst part was that, without help, Mom was staying up until midnight or so with Dad, up and down a few times during the night, and she would get up by 8:00 and Dad would stay in bed.  She was exhausting herself.  With round-the-clock help, Mom can now can sleep late and not worry that Dad is not being taken care of!  Praise God!
This is what we have been wanting for her for a LONG time!  


Ollie and I are taking Austin out of school today and going to the Deer Camp for the day!  It's like a little piece of Heaven when we get to do this!  Austin and his Grandpa will fish, we'll go hiking in the woods with Austin scouting ahead, and we hope to play in the lake, if it's not too cold!  A pretty good day for a 5-year old boy and his Grandma and Grandpa!  Since the ranch is at Spicewood, we plan to go through Marble Falls on the way home and go see Mom and Dad.  I'm suffering from withdrawls after being with them for so many days!  I may be 56 years old, but I'm still a Momma's baby, and proud of it!!!  I may have used this before, but I love it... 


Who can find a virtuous woman? She is far more precious than jewels...
Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle.
Her sons rise up and call her blessed.
He husband also praises her:
Many women are capable, but you surpass them all!
Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
~Proverbs 31:10, 25-30

I am so pleased to announce the birth of cousins Lori and Matt Bisson's son Sam.  Lori and Sam need your prayers that they gain strength and health so they may go home from the hospital without any issues, and join big brother Will.  Father, God, we thank you for this sweet little boy and for his conception and birth.  We ask in the name of Jesus Christ for Your healing touch on Sam and his mommy Lori.  Heal them now so we may rejoice in the good news about their recovery and continued health.  St Jude, worker of miracles, and all the angels and saints, pray for them.  Amen.   

Ollie and I are headed east tomorrow on a 2-day buying trip.  I promise to let you know if there is any major news this week.  Meanwhile, I pray that each of you have a safe and blessed day and week! Go with God!

Go With God lyrics
Songwriters: Arends, Carolyn; Harrington, Connie;

Farther than lands you have ever imagined
Deeper than even the oceans of blue
An open horizon is waiting like morning
Waking the dreamer who's living in you

So now go with the wind at your back
And the sun on your face
With a song in your heart
And the promise of grace

Go in peace and in truth
And let love lead your way
Go with God.

Stronger than will in the soul of a fighter
Higher than hope in the heart of a child
There is a longing, a yearning inside us
That's reaching for Heaven and won't be denied

If you go with the wind at your back
And the sun on your face
With a song in your heart
And the promise of grace

Go in peace and in truth
And let love lead your way
Go with God.

Go with the wind at your back
And the sun on your face
With a song in your heart
And the promise of grace

Go in peace and in truth
And let love lead your way
Go with God.

AMEN!!!
