i love these girls...

Not this Christmas...

Christmas was great. Low key. Not much going on. But i know. And the family knew...Two spaces were empty... Two times the laughter was missing...Two more pairs of feet not heard. Maybe by next Christmas... Two will join us.

heart changing

today's act of kindness was to make sandwiches for the homeless. so tonight we went around handing them out. we started on the streets but didn't see many. then we stopped into the library where it was warm... astonished. we had 30 sandwiches left. and as we handed them out there weren't enough.there was a man with his sons. homeless. as we drove away i saw 2 men with a sandwich and a bag of chips eating away and the look on their faces was indescribable. someone had reached out to them... i cried. my heart went out to these people. i want to help these people. even just once a week going into the library and handing out a meal. my heart is changing.

it's that time of year...

(:

There Will Be A Day... NO more tears, NO more pain and NO more fears

real friends

i found my real friends. the ones who were always there, whether i needed them or not. the real friends who saw past my plastic smile. the people who knew what to say. my friends who made me laugh when i was beside myself. the kids who prayed for me. my friends who worshiped with me. they have been around for years now. never left my side. but i was thinking about it. and these are my real friends. although sometimes they feel like brothers and sisters.. :) and today and everyday from now on, i will thank God for them.
