Its me again

Its been a while since I sat down in the quiet of the house to compose thoughts about the things happening in my life. So much has happened to keep me from sitting at the computer so much. My family has grown by leaps and bounds and I am so thankful. We are in the process of adopting three beautiful little girls and words couldnt describe how blessed we feel. I think often of the children who have come through my home and went on to other places and I pray they are safe and warm. I believe God's hand is on each and every one of them.
I also lost my Grandmother recently. She was 100 years old and although at that age its obvious they will leave soon its never easy to see them go. My grandmother was such a blessing to me and to everyone whos life she touched. The example she left behind for me is something I want to strive for every day. My grandmother was a lady in every aspect of the word. She was the model of a good Christian woman, she was wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She touched the lives of a lot of people. She was like a little piece of history sitting right here among us. My grandmother was a modest woman who loved God first and foremost before anything in her life. When she died she had such a peaceful look on her face. I was named after her and for many years she and I had such a close bond with one another. I will miss her so much. She was there for every event in my life....good bad or indifferent. God needed her and she was ready to go. Its funny how when you have such an assurance that you know someone is in heaven it really eases the hurt of letting them go. Grandma worked her whole life to get to heaven....now her work is over. I will miss her deeply.
