IN MEMORY OF MY BROTHER ~~~

I THOUGHT I WOULD DO THIS FOR MY BROTHER THAT I LOST ON TUESDAY. IT IS NEVER EASY TO SAY GOODBY TO A LOVED ONE.

I GUESS IT'S TIMES LIKE THIS WHEN WE REALLY STOP FOR A MOMENT AND REALIZE THAT ALL OF THE PETTY THINGS IN OUR LIVES DON'T MEAN MUCH. I KNOW FOR ALL WHO HAVE LOVED HIM THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT.

A poem my mother wrote ~~~

TODAY

When trials come to make us strong.

We still can praise him with a song!

There's joy that comes right out of pain,

Trusting God with all our heart

Makes things better from the start.

His promises won't ever fail us yet,

If we hold onto and don't forget!

His love is much for you and me!

And of his goodness we'll soon see!

Let's worship God in this new day;

Betty Frost~~

WE LOVE YOU-- ROBERT LAWRENCE FROST --

BACK TO WORK !!!

This little fellow tells the story doesn't he ? Well I must say he is not real happy. :)

This is how I have been feeling lately it seems~~~

Life has been very challenging lately with the news of a illness in our family. I think that times like this is when we really stop and realize what we are really made of. Life is so very short.

I am really trying to wrap my head around all of these things and get some work done. For me it seems to be therapy.

I thank all of you who follow my BLOG and for the wonderful messages you always leave me. I do appreciate all of you !!!

Big Hugs,

Bonnie

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
