I'M BAAAAAAACCCKKKKKK!!!
Hello All-
Since I haven't posted in close to a month...I felt I would send a few of you into shock and post.
I think the last time I posted I was telling you all about the D..I..E..T that I was starting.....I NEVER STARTED THE STUPID D..I..E..T, I have more to love and I am proud of it. Actually I had bladder surgery and haven't been released to work-out yet...it really stinks to be me...I can't go to the gym, therefore I don't need to change my eating habits, I have to be lazy or something unthinkable may happen...I mean I am only eight weeks out of surgery...I don't need to rush anything ya know?
Anyway, I am still fat, happy and blessed, who could ask for anything more?!!
I am so excited about the holidays. I can't wait to be with family especially family that I don't get to see often and family that I have never seen (Anna
Grace, my 4 month old niece). It dawned on me today what a blessing it is to have family, I mean we all say, "oh, I am so blessed to have family" but do we ever stop to think about those that have NO ONE? Those that will be all alone for Thanksgiving and Christmas, those that will be waiting for company that never comes? I have decided to take my family to a nursing home during the holiday season to visit with the elderly because last year my Father was in a nursing home during Thanksgiving and Christmas after having hip surgery. During several of my visits with him I met two people (Mr. Tom and Ms. Delilah) who waited every day for company and on Christmas Eve they waited in their doorway all day for people that never came to see them. I was told by one of the nurses that they wait every holiday for their family and every holiday they are heartbroken by the realization that they are all alone and forgotten. I am sorry; I should have warned you all that my post would be sad. For some reason I have been in such a sappy mood today. Everything is making me cry especially the though of Mr. Tom and Ms. Dililah. I encourage all of you to share your holiday spirit and love with someone in need.
I am copying my wonderful sister Tiffany with the Top 5 things that I am THANKFUL FOR:
1. I AM SO THANKFUL TO BE A CHILD OF GOD!!! I am so thankful that By His blood I
have been saved from Hell. I Thankful that God always holds the right way when I
need direction, thankful that He holds my hand everyday and thankful that He
loves me despite how undeserving I am.
2. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY AMAZING HUSBAND. He is so encouraging, loving,
accommodating, faithful, devoted, an amazing father and after 11 years, he is
still the one I want for LIFE.
3. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN. These two extraordinary little boys
change my life everyday. They are so loving and innocent. I wish I could
protect them from all the ugliness of this world. They are so amazing and what
a blessing it is to watch them change everyday. God gave Chris and I the most
wonderful gifts with our boys. I want to capture every part of them and their
lives so I never forget a moment with them. Anybody ever been there?
4. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR MY BEAUTIFUL FAMILY (EXTENDED). What an extraordinary
blessing it is to have A mom, A pop, A father, an Aunt Jean, an Uncle Bob, a
Grandmother, two sisters (Dena & Tiffany), three brothers (Hugh,Kevin&Scotty),
three nephews (Kaden,Russ&Trey), a niece (Anna Grace), Mrs. Pat(other mom), two
father in laws (Teddy&Rue Rue) and tons of others that have all made a
difference in my life as well as the lives of my husband and children. It is an
amazing feeling to know that all of these people love my children, my husband
and me. What is even better, the above people would never forget my children,
my husband nor me or leave us waiting for a glimpse of love and affection.
5. I AM THANKFUL THAT I LIVE IN AMERICA! Isn't is wonderful to live in a country
where you can freely and loudly proclaim your love for Jesus, your family and
your home. How liberating to have freedom of speech, to have the freedom to
agree or disagree with ANY events in America. I am also EXTREMELY THANKFUL THAT
10s OF THOUSAND OF MEN AND WOMEN (MY LATE GRANDFATHER AND MY UNCLE BOBBY
INCLUDED)WERE WILLING TO GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR YOU AND ME SO THAT WE COULD HAVE
FREEDOM IN AMERICA!! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THOSE WHO SERVE AND PROTECT
US!!!
