Thank you !! LORD,

First of all ,I would like to say Thank you for all the prayers during the time of the death of my friend,it was very hard on me & still is at times,but the past few weeks the Lord has helped me so much,,I have to give him the most Thanks of all,
Weekend before last march 5th - 7th we had our meeting at church,on that saturday morning we had a preacher to sing ,he sang the song,"The unseen hand"in the 1st vs, it says-
"There is a unseen hand to me that leads through ways I cannot see"
,,ever since Angela died I just couldnt see Why? Im not one of those who thinks its a sin to ask why,,but I do know I may not know why till I see him, And untill then I know his unseen hand as I go, He gave me peace that morning, after that my husband spoke about love & then another preacher spoke about love & it seemed as though the rest of the weekend was on love
"How much he loves us"??

And he showed us just a glimpse of that on sunday morning,,
He saved 8 souls & 6 was children,,
Thank you Lord ,You are so wonderful !!!


It was a good day to be at church :) :)
This past sunday we had a baptismal service,
Bro Richard got to baptize nine,

First we have the greatest nephew anybody could ever ask for my 20 yr old nephew A.j
he got saved on dec 29th.

Then brother & sister Gabe 14 & Anna 12,

Blog break,to much to deal with at this time

I am going to be taking a blog break,
I got some real bad news on sunday about a friend of mine passing away,
We thought she was doing better.
She had been sick for 10 days,then passed away,
I am having a hard time dealing with this,,

Its not at all fare that this had to happen to her,
Why her ,shes got 3 kids 13,11,5-a husband that has been in love with her for about 15 years,
I just dont unerstand,I started feeling guilty last night about being alive,
Cause I know Im saved & going to heaven when I die,But I dont know that about her??
So why not me??Please pray for her family, her kids husband,I just dont know how they are going to make it without her.

This is the 8th death since & sept,& 2nd friend to have something happen to them and I just dont know how much more I can take, or how can her family even take this ,to deal with?

Angela ,I love you so much,I already miss you so bad,you was such a good friend for 15 years.

Yes ,I am back , after a long break.
Not by choice,but just cause for the past 5or6 weeks I have had so much to do.
Every year from about thanksgiving till about feb, We have so much to do.!!

But anyway maybe I can get back on track ,Im working on a video from right before Christmas till New Years to show all of what we have been doing.
Because I could post pictures everyday of all of it & still would not get it all in. So the video can get it all over with at one time.
And I just thought about it, I've not talk to yall since Last Year ? That sounds like so long ago,lol

Thank each of you that has e-mailed to check on us & just to say hi :)
I have missed yall just as much.
So I will in the next few days post the video :)
hope you enjoy it,

Till then, My header picture is my Christmas present from my husband,(the best man in the world).
Meet Graceland the Boxer, (NO she is not named that because of Elvis)lol..
This are the best dogs for families,we had one for 3 1/2 yrs (Daisy Mae) & had to have her put to sleep,it about killed me,I still miss her everyday& that was 3yrs ago,it has taken us this long to be able to get another, (the thought of one not being like her & just missing her so much)
I know what some of you are thinking ? Its just a dog, I know but she wasnt just any dog..
I love animals, always have...

I hope each of you have a good week ,love yall...

Way toooo Much !!

We have got way to much going on,,
And since I left you last with the bad news of another death,
I wanted to share this with you,


I am not one to take pictures of a funeral,or at a funeral,but I could'nt past this up,
This brought some peace to the family,
Kevin worked for a company called Diverse Power,it is our electricity company for the county.
He had been there almost 5 years & loved it,
It is very hard to get in,& work for this place.
Well on last monday we had visitation from 6-8, but so many people came we did not leave till 9;30.His mom, dad & brothers stood in line for 4 hours.
On tues,was the funeral & they wanted a private one, so only a few was aloud to come,
We went to the funeral home first & then to the cemetery,
When we got there it was such a blessing,
About 20 of the men that worked with him was there,
They had a bucket truck on each side of the drive way with the lifts up,crossed eachother ,
& they all was standing in the rain,with their hands over their heart,
During the funeral it was very humbling to see this grown men ,(that we always see as Mr Strong) cry like babies,& that they would take time off from their job,to show what real men they are.Some of this men I've known for about 15 years & never knew they had it in them.
This is a picture as we was leaving,while they was letting the lifts down.


Thank you ,Lord for Friends that can help a family in time of need,




***We are going to miss you Kevin,***



Now to some what ? catch up on my posting..NOT.
The day after Thanksgiving every year we go & get our Christmas tree,
from the Christmas tree farm that is about 10 min,from our house,





This is something we do everyyear ,we dont let the kids go off
or plan anything this day,as you can tell Me &Jim love & the kids think they are to old for it,,:o)





Then sometime the next few days ,(when I get all the boxes out)
We decorate while The Polar Express is in the dvd player,








Poor Dog!!





And then I fix hot choc & we finish the movie,
because you cant watch polar express without hot choc,RIGHT??





HOW DOES IT LOOK?



So for now ,our Christmas get togethers start to happen the weekend after Thanksgiving.
Our first was Jims Sunday School class party,After we ate,All of us ladies put together the fake tree at church,





While the men played around, :o)
the next night we had our ladies get together for church ,I did not get to go because of the death,so I have no pictures. But they had a good time :o)





This past Sunday,each of our kids teachers had their class parties, between church times, Karen (cheyennes teacher) ask us to go along to help get them all there.
We had 6 boys ,6 girls..

We took them all back to her house after eating,
Look how sweet those girls are, (ha ha)..



So for now we just been trying to get shopping done,
Get to all the get togethers,
We have 4 this weekend,
The Cofields,The Butlers,The Churchs, & the Christmas play.
Next week we have ,2 as of now.

Please pray for the Butlers, saturday is not going to be the same without Kevin.
its still a shock to this whole family,

Merry Christmas to each of you, from The Butlers ,in Franklin Ga,..
