Precious blessings


I have always been very fortunate to have a close relationship with Mandy and the many "kids" (other children, young adults, etc that have found a place in my home to be themselves) the Lord has blessed me with over the years. The place these "kids" hold in my life is beyond words. They have loved me, taught me, blessed me more the I can ever place here. Most are now parents themselves and what a joy it is to watch them teach there own children and find there way. Those that are building careers are just as enjoyable to watch. Watching my kids find the way for their lives has been such a joy. It is a blessing to have the internet to be able to keep up with those that are not close by due to the paths their lives have taken.

I still am blessed to have lunch with Mandy, her husband, Keegan, and their precious daughter Mariah. Watching them build her foundation on the love of Jesus in her life is so much fun. I have always been awed that my Heavenly Father chose me to be Mandy's mom, but to watch her be a mom in her own right is ever bit as a blessing.

Thank you Lord for the time you give me to share in their lives still and have a place in Mariah's life. You are and always will be an amazing incredible God.
