Blessesd are those who mourn

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4

I have been on mourning for my Grandma for a year and a half now. I have prayed to see her, smell her, talk to her, touch her. But it just never happened. Every night I pray for the Lord to hug her for me. On Saturday I got out a necklace that my mom had given me that was my grandma's. I put it on, we went to eat and bowling with the kids. As we were bowling, for whatever reason, I put the necklace, which is a Cross to my nose, and it smelled like her. Just like her. The smell from her makeup and skin had remained on the necklace for all this time. I was so comforted by it. I must have smelled it a hundred times since then. I have it on again today, and I am comforted by it. I feel like God heard and knew that I needed her right now, and so he gave me this piece of her. It is great. I will never wash the necklace for fear the smell will leave. I hope that it will last for a while.

The weekend was a good one, like I said we went to eat and bowling on Saturday and the kids had a great time. Yesterday we had Jammie day. We just spent the day hanging out. Today since the kids were out. I took them outside to take a few pictures of them, and I think they turned out really well.

We are going to try to get a few more tomorrow. I never got them photos at Christmas, so i am trying to catch up.
I need to find a dentist, I have 2 fillings that have partly fallen out. Now I haven't been to the dentist in like 10 years. Not that I am afraid of the dentist, I just don't have the time to go, and what do I do with my kids? And I am partially afraid of what they will say when i go, but i just need to suck it up and go. Anyway i will leave you with the photos from today enjoy., and for those of you who follow our website, I will update it soon, I am going to have to pull it down and start over since i got a new computer, but i promise to get it done soon! Till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come............................
