Grieving

My Beautiful Boy, James Timothy French passed on to heaven on February 19, 2010.

I am grieving.

My Aunti gave me a silver heart necklace with a hole in it with this poem:

Since Heaven has become your home I sometimes feel I'm so alone; and though we now are far apart you hold a big piece of my heart. I never knew how much I'd grieve when it was time for you to leave, or just how much my heart would ache from that one fragment you would take. God lets this tender hole remain reminding me we'll meet again, and one day all the pain will cease when He restores this missing piece.

He'll turn to joy my every tear and when I wear this necklace near, it will become my special way to treasure our Reunion Day.

I love you my son my beautiful boy, MOM

Tuesday

Today is Tuesday, my day is almost over, it's 7:34PM. I had a busy day cleaning bathrooms, and while I was doing them I was thinking Tuesday Toilet Day. It feels good to have all the bathrooms clean though. I feel I accomplished alot today. Three full bathrooms and one downstairs powder room.

Lately I have been visiting nice pretty blogs that show what they are doing in their homes. I want to start doing that and sharing my little projects etc.

Well, this past three day weekend my husband did start a new project. We are going to pain our front door to our home. Painting is new to me, I have always in the past just hired a painter, but we are trying to be frugal these days. My husband and I went to Home Depot and I picked a color from Behr Paints, it's called Boston Brick. When I told my mother she was so excited about a red door, and when I told my son's girlfriend she jumped for joy, saying she has always wanted a red door.

When I went to Home Depot with John, I was not knowing what color I was going to choose, this Boston Brick, just stood out to me. I'm excited, and I thought oh this is going to be easy. I told my friend Teresa at church, and she said oh you must use Benjamin Moore paint for your front door, but we had already purchased our gallon. She then told John and I we must prime it first, before we paint it. So off to Home Depot again.

Since it is dark outside I will take a picture tomorrow on my front door before and then an after. Except my darling husband, already started to sand it down. He worked on it, Sunday and Monday, taking the front door off and putting it on again. Boy that is a challenge the door is so heavy.

Well, I can't wait to share my photos with you tomorrow. Oh look at our Christmas picture it shows my front door, the BEFORE! smile

Love and Bloom for the KING!

Getting Ready for a Bridal Luncheon

I writing out my neice's bridal shower at my home on February 28th 2010.
This event will be a waterfall theme, because her fiance proposed to her in Costa Rica near a beautiful waterfall. I'm getting ready for a bridal luncheon. Please pray for me to be organized and to keep a happy heart to serve others.

Middle of the Week Thoughts

Whatever I do, I must do for my King. Our church is starting community groups tonight. One is at our home, I will have seventeen people here this evening. I pray I can be gracious and a pleasant hostess for all of my church family. May God bless this evening of pray and fellowship. Lord help me to clean my home and time to bake cookies, help me to have a good attitude with my leg hurting me so much, my attitude has not been the greatest.

I ask you to stop the pain at least for this evening so I can move around for our guest. Lord when the time is right with money and time to go to the doctors please help me to find the right doctor to go to. I have already been to the foot doctor, and chiropractor. Lord give me wisdom and direction to find the right doctor for my pain.

Thank you for this day, be with the people in Haiti and be with my family and my husband at work.
In Jesus Name,
AMEN

Faith

Dear Lord, I pray for Faith today, Faith that James will feel better for his rugby tournament this weekend. Faith that our money situation will get better and we will be able to pay bills. May I have wisdom to use our money in the way you would want me to use it. Lord I do not want to hold any resentment or bitterness towards others, please take away any bitterness I may have. Give me strength to eat good food and no sugar! Help me to be a good wife, mother and homemaker for our family.
Be with James as he is sick, be with Laura Beth as she battles with her own issues, and be with John that he is the light for others at work. Lord I lift my heart to you for courage and understanding and wisdom. I thank you Lord for allowing me to be alive today. May I shine for you. May I bloom for my KING!

PS My verse for the week I'm going to type without looking.
Matthew 5:3-6 Blessed are the poor in spirit for they shall see the kingdom of heaven, Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be satisfied.

A Friend Came By

A Friend Came by today. She knew I needed someone to talk to, so she came over.

I felt loved by her.
I felt compassion by her.
I felt cared for by her.
In my heart I felt these things.
In my brain I feel I never want to be separated by her.

Thank you Colleen for coming by today.

Motherhood

Motherhood is not for whimps especially when you have teenagers. I'm tired it is the end of the day, but I'm so sad when I do not know who is telling the truth.
