The Joy of Life

I just want to share what's going on in my life. When you think you live a fairly dull life, stuff begins to happen and you realize how truly awesome God is...He even gives you the wonderful, fun filled, hard working memories to hold on to. I am so very thankful for God's incredible love of me and all the wonderful people I know and love.

Having said all that, I must tell you that we have just completed VBS at our church, (a week ago). I was blessed to work with an incredible gal that stepped up to be our director, (Pam). You know, she can be serious when she has to, but I have always seen her "other side"! She pulled off a great VBS in a short amount of time, but I will tell you all right now, don't get any ideas about trying to entice her away! She is NOT going anywhere, I promise!

That was all just a sidebar - the true joy was all the volunteers that helped out. It was a fun-filled week for the volunteers as well as the kids. Our VBS focused on "our serving family, friends, and God", and the kids were very receptive to the message. I still hear them singing the songs and talking to each other about serving. I even had a young man ask how he could help me clean up after our class on Wednesday! Isn't it wonderful when we can instill a servant's heart in our children that will stay with them as they take their spiritual journey?

The other joy in my life is the opportunity to have my 3 year old grandaughter live with me for a few weeks. Our daughter and son-in-law are building a house and have sold their current home but the new house is not fininshed. You know the story...they had to move out with no place to go! O'mas B and B is always open so we are now a family of five! I honestly have never seen so many computers in one room - other than an office - and all if them being used! We have 3 laptops and a desk top in our den plus the TV! I am truly enjoying every minute of it and the 3 year old runs the show - as you would expect!

Opps, gotta go. The munchkin is up and we have things to do, people to see, and places to go! Blessings to all of you..you bring joy to my life.
