God's Gold On The Street in Our Neighborhood

Beautiful Gold blooms on the street...

Happy Birthday, Dear Chad! Our Family Celebrates YOU!

 Chad always makes everyone smile....when he appears on the family scene the kids go 'bonkers' for he is always teasing, picking on them and encouraging their 'foolishness'.
He is our 'fun' family gift and in addition, he works in the background to bring comfort in difficult situations.
Chad is a 'problem solver' and is especially so now at this moment in time and we celebrate his birth with much gusto. 

As Dylan says, 'That's how we roll!"

Confirming Again~ It IS A Good Life!

Raining, heavy traffic to and from Jacksonville, celebrating the birth of a new little 'princess' in our family....all of this is what made my day yesterday.
Aggrivating happenings was a part of the day, tough decisions were placed before us, but part of that day was also singing Praise songs in the car on our rainy return.
Charlie, Chad and I were 'worn out' after about 9 hrs. of driving plus the days event as well.
Waiting to greet us at our door at 9:30 pm was daughter, Lynn, with her arms outstretched to embrace us with her love and happiness at our safe return in answer to her prayers.
Our faith  sees us through  storms, tears, smiles and laughter and......daily life!
Do we get 'everything we want 'our way'?
Absolutely NOT!
Do we get what we need to meet the demands of life, moment by moment?
Most certainly!
...."You can be sure that God will take care of EVERYTHING you need,
    His generosity exceeding even yours in that which pours from Jesus, Himself!"
Message Bible Translation Philipians 4:19
As a result of experiencing this from 'first~hand knowledge',  I can still say with complete truth from my heart.....
         IT IS A   G O  O D  LIFE!
"Celebrate God all day, every day!  I mean, revel in HIM!
Don't fret or worry.
Instead of worrying, pray.
Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns.
Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness,
everything coming together for good,
will come and settle you down.
It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life!"  
Yep, IT IS TRULY A GOOD LIFE NOW AND FOREVER.
Amen
