Answered Prayers

This is a picture of answered prayers in the reality of life.
Prayers have been done faithfully for approx. 3 yrs. We are grandparents to 2 beautiful, now teenagers, who live in Mich. On Thurs.1/13/11, they arrived @ our house!!! It was the most wonderful, happy day.
It has been a very loving, fun, new beginning for us with them, as teenagers! They have grown soooo much....We had to learn once again how to 'talk' to teenagers! They both are very interesting, smart, sweet, well-mannered, respectful young adults. They love hugging as much as we love hugging, too!!
The whole family came forward to meet/greet/eat with them! It was a great time. There was loud talking, laughing, teasing and just LOVE all in the moments we shared.
Their car pulled out of the driveway @ 5pm....leaving behind sweet memories for us all. The past 4 days with them has been priceless. We are now looking forward to spending time together again this summer.
All the credit for this joyful 4 days goes to God. I've known all my life that prayer is a powerful tool. This only reaffirms my belief. God can change things when we are totally powerless to do so.
It seems this answered prayer took a  l o n g  time to come about, but it DID come. I will NEVER cease praying....
Pictures can show the moments we shared, but my heart is filled with memories not even pictures can capture!!
Stories to continue during summer of 'll.........

LIFE Lessons .....Learning Again !!

Image
This blog is a confession and statement of "new" learning for me. The "darkness" of an "acute" illness, and the healing from that, has been a reality check in full measure! I'm a Believer. I'm one who praises God, prays all the time, and am confident of the Love of my Father. That statement made -- I am still filled w/human nature and it's quircks! We all get "comfortable" in our everyday lives and routines. Well. Mine has been blown apart w/this "healing" process.!! It's going much more slowly than I would desire, and so much seems more difficult, and "lost" a bit. There are books written, quotes out there, and we all kinda believe --don't sweat the "small" stuff. Pfffft! It's the "small" stuff that's giving me such tough issues right now. Go figure! Examples: energy to "move" and do my everyday routines; insecurity/discomfort w/the thought of driving a car (not

the "REST OF THE STORY"......

I did soooo Love Paul Harvey. His stories were always so interesting.....and, he researched to bring a story to an often unknown ending. The "rest of the story" always let ya know.....the circle was closed on that topic for him. In that fashion....I wanted to do this blog. I love photography. I'm quite a happy amateur! Now, with Pinterest I get to see unlimited talent. This picture was one that "drew me in"....After I pinned it.....there were like 30+ other people who loved it too! This picture received the most pins on my boards. Just look at it....Never did try to track down the photographer. Only went as far as where the pin originated. Browsing pinterest boards is a fun pastime. I enjoy "following" pictures/quotes and such as far as I dare. In browsing.....I "fell into" a site. The photographer is TIMOTHY WALKER. A very eclectic range of photos. Behold! There was this picture among them. I gasped! (He has several other photos
