Our final goodbyes....

  Hello to all and good health and strength in the name of the lord...
   As many of you may already know, my grandmother has been at her death bed since last week . This past friday her life support was removed at around 12 pm. A true fighter all the way ,as we had expected  she did not leave us until Saturday evening... Her funeral will be held this friday at 11. in Virginia...
   A word from the bible... in 2Tim:4 6-8 it states " For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."

   I feel such great comfort in knowing that the beautiful woman that fought a good fight will receive her crown by our all and mighty judge as it should be. Such tears of joy and sorrow I feel from all this. It was a strong woman that has return back to the king and although she  will be missed dearly, she has left so many memories that will heal the sorrow in time. My grandma was 88 years of age . A good life she lived. A great person a kind woman loved by all who knew her and admired by those who only knew about her.... We will truly miss you but thank you Lord for giving us such a gift.....

  It's a poem

        I was Dying......
First I was dying to finish high school and start college.
And then I was dying to finish college and start working.
And then I was dying tomarry and have children.
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough for school so I can return to work.
And then I was dying to retire.
And now, I am dying......and suddenly I realized I forgot to live.


 Cherish your love ones ... for one day we will missed them and it will be to late to tell them you love them...

How we mourn....

    Hello everyone. God is good no matter what. I have strong faith that the grandmother we know is either in that body that lies in the hospital brain dead or has risen to her new home next to our king and is looking down on us trying to send comfort for those who can not let her go....

   For all of you who do not know yet, my grandmother has had a massive heart attack and is in the hospital since thursday of last week. The Drs. say she is brain dead and that she has pass, but some of the family memebers refuse to take her out of life support and therefore her soul if indeed has lifted up can not rest until the body has been laid to rest...

                     I was trying to locate a picture of her to show her beautiful face but could not find one in my computer at this time... I will later post one as I feel fit. In any regards although she lies in a hospital bed dead, I have began to accept the fact that maybe it was her time and God did not want her to suffer any longer. She was 88 years old. A strong woman. Never judge anyone and loved everyone.Her door was never shut. The big momma of our family ,she kept us all together and strong. No matter what we did wrong, she was there with open arms to just love us.... To her last breath she whispered words of love and compassion to those who knew her . I was reading a lot of different stories of how people dealt with sorrow and I found a poem that was a little different than most. This poem is told in the eyes of the Lord to all parents... But in this case is to my grandma from the Lord to us.....

   THE POEM.......

        I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine, He said,
For you to love the while she lives and mourn, for when she's dead
It may be six or seven years. or 80 or 83,
But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you, and shall her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief,
I cannot promise she will stay, since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons, taught down there, I want this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
 I have selected you
 Now will you give her all your love nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to call to take her back again??
I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay;
But shall the angels call for her much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bittergrief that comes and try to understand..

Another day with God's blessing....

 Good morning everyone. Today I am doing a little better than I was yesterday. I was in the hospital with my grandmother. She has been ill and not doing good at all. But let me tell you how good God is. If you did not know about Jesus you need to go look for him now while you can.
  My grandmother yesterday was was showing positive signs. Now today was going to be a critical day and so far so good. I came this morning with a positive attitude because yesterday she was moving . Although it was small gestures, they were huge to us. She is so tired and we are so selfish that we want her here with us instead of allowing God to do his will. She is such a fighter. I never really had someone accept me for who I am without being judge before. She has never pointed fingers and has never disrespected me like a lot of my husband family do. This lady is the closest to me having a grandmother.....
   Pray for my family please... For strength at our time of need.. And we really need.......I will keep you posted...

A not so healthy trip......

 Hello everyone. Today is a beautiful day. God be the glory. I hope we are able to enjoy more days like this.
I was called the other day and was told not some healthy news. I have family in Virginia. My grandmother is ill and things do not look so good. Anyhow, I had to pray very hard.
  You see , we have to learn to ask god to guide us while we become selfish and ask to keep us in his hands wil we grieve. Although she has not passed, she is of age and is not breathing by herslf right now...
  I can not really talk about this situation right now, jst needed to ask for prayers for my family to keep us strong and allow God to do his will..

A Good Joke..... The Lawyer Vs. the Cop.....

       Good Day everyone...
         I ran accross this joke at our bi-weekly publication. Always a free paper to inform our community of what is happening around town. We are all so greatful for that.

    The Lawyer Vs. the Cop
            
                   A lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by a Jersey cop. He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer from New York and is certain that he has better education than any cop from Jersey. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the cops' expense.
     The cop says, " License and registration , please."
    " What for?" says the lawyer.
 The cop says " You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop sign."
The lawyer says, " I slowed down. and no one was coming."
" You still didn't come to a complete stop," says the cop.
" Licence and registration, please."
The lawyer says, "What's the difference?"
"The difference is you have to come to a complete stop, that's the law. License and registration, please! " the cop says.
Lawyer says, " If you can show me the legal difference betwen slow down and stop, i'll give you my license and registration.; and you give me the ticket."
 " That sounds fair. Please exit your vehicle, sir," the cop says.
At this point, the cop takes out his billy club and starts beating the ever-loving crap out of the lawyer and says, "Do you want me to stop, or just slown down?"
