Blessings Are All Around Us!

Today I came across a solution to a nagging problem.  Kate is still in her crib because she is so small. She is growing and will be ready for a "big girl bed".  Sometimes she wakes in the night, as if she took a nap!  Wide awake and ready for her day!  Only it is 3:00 a.m. and we are certainly not ready.    She is safe in her crib and does not climb out.  Now that we need to get her a big girl bed, I have been secretly panicking.  Coming across this website was a Blessing!  The company is not too far away and there is a payment plan.  This safety bed can also travel on vacation!

I love new technology.  It took another Special Needs Mom to invent this!  Leave it to a mom that has determination to keep her child safe!

Easter was yesterday and we had 15 for dinner.  Dinner was so good and I was only ten minutes late getting it on the table.  It's a new record!  We celebrated Angel coming into the Church and also her birthday.  Angel's family came over and we all had a great time.  My brother brought his friend Nicole, who couldn't be lovelier!  Kate did great!!!

I wanted to sleep in, but the girls worked so hard with me yesterday, I couldn't wake them.  So with Kate awake it was a cuddling, donut morning.  Will Kate want to sleep in when she is a teenager?  Will I ever sleep past 8:00 a.m. again!???

So the blessings are a new bed for Kate.  A new beginning for Angel.  I new beginning for my brother and all the people who love us sharing in all the beauty of our little home.

Finding Peace with Charlie Kirk

It sure has been a rough time this year.  I really thought this year was going to be spectacular and finally peace among us.  How naive I still am.  Or is it the Pollyanna in me. Seeing Charlie Kirk get assassinated shook me and many others to the core.  I loved Charlie and what he stood for and yet!  I am so surprised at exactly how many people he touched.  Behind the scenes he was such a testament of who we should be.  He was genuinely GOOD!  How many times from thousands of friends did they say how he checked in on them and the encouragement he shared with them.   Now Revivals are breaking out and the younger generation is praising God in millions.  Does it make you think about yourself and how you make a difference in people’s lives?  Do you realize that your kindness and friendship is so much more powerful than you think?   When we want to mourn and hide away, we are being called to action.  Action with Praise and Glo...

Your Life Will Unravel

If you choose to put God in a neat little box, then put the box on a shelf in the closet, only getting it out every once in a while.  Maybe a Sunday, maybe not.  Your life will start to unravel.   At first, you give every excuse not to go to Church.  You had to work, you were too tired, you had a hangnail.  Your life will unravel. Then you blame your past.  Too much guilt, no one understands my pain, I am an adult and make these decisions on when I need God.  Your life will unravel. Next, your life isn't turning out how you planned.  You were going to have success in business, a great marriage and perfect children...it didn't go that way...it's Gods fault.  Your life will unravel. You one day turn around and compare yourself and measure yourself against those close to you.  Why are they happy?  Why is it that when awful things happen to others, they seem to handle it and even laugh through their tears?  Why is it they are happy...

Happy Birthday Mom!

As soon as I said that my goal this Lent was to find an inner peace by Easter Sunday, my world turned very stressful. My siblings and I planned an 80th birthday party for my Mom.  Since I was a small child, I love birthdays...expecially mine!  Age is just a number, right?  Anyway, we had her party at a great Irish Pub called Riley's Pour House Website  in Carnegie, PA.  I love this pub! I love the owner Jim Riley because he has a great sense of humor and is very kind.  I still think that if you own an Irish Pub then you should be able to play the Bagpipes, right Jim Riley?  If your searching for an Irish Pub with great food and entertainment, not to mention the crowd of great people, then definitely stop at Riley's! The party was packed at noon, on a Sunday, during a snow storm.  That is how our family rules.  Half a foot of snow?  Who cares!  My Mom thought she was having lunch with her children and grandchildren.  It...
