Write Your Blessings in Stone

Before any more time passes between postings, I want to briefly share some of our gratitude here for our grandchildren to perhaps discover when they are older and just because that was/is the purpose for this blog. I want to say how very, very thankful we are for our family. Not many people are as blessed. 

They are not all pictured here and some are "adopted" family, but because pictures speak volumes, this is as close as I can come to writing our "blessings in stone" as we reflect on this past year and with some no longer with us. Families by their nature are often at the heart of all of our struggles, but when God is in the mix, they are also the bedrock of who helps us overcome the worries of this life by their unfailing love. They stay.

We love you, family, and are grateful for you more than you know. May God protect each one of you/us this new year and always as we are all in this together. With gratitude ~

"Write your sorrows in sand, write your blessings in stone."

Saint Patrick’s Day With Our Gbabies

In light of the recent tragedies in Austin and of the people who have lost their lives or loved ones, sharing this today means much more. Today I am so very thankful for my family and that we are safe. Our prayers and thoughts go out to those suffering as we draw closer to our own in light of how every day we are here together is a gift. Love and peace to all.
