Who said you can teach an old dog new tricks?
I need more notes I guess on getting a handle on this here bloggin' stuff.
I spent 30 min pushing buttons, experimenting, trying to find out how to make a new post.
The good news is, I did remember my password!!!!!!!!!
This was a good"inside cleaning/laundry day" but martha here didn't get alot
accomplished today because of this "guy" hanging around here all day!!(clayton) :-)
It is amazing what you can get done around the house when you are alone.
Now I don't want to be alone in life, just when I am cleaning the house, which seems like all the time. Thankfully I do enjoy cleaning and organizing......................Soounds weird huh?
Sorry if I mispelled. I will learn spellcheck eventually.....The Library is having computer classes this summer and you must be 14 to sign up!!! Do you think they will let me in???
Who said I was too old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-( sad sad face!!!!

Thank you notes are very thoughtful.

We get and send them for a multitude of reasons. I have a christian mentor friend who sends them for everything.We exchange Christmas gifts, I get a card. We exchange birthday gifts and lunches I get a card. I have tried to adopt this protocol in my life but I never want it to be a ritual or obligation. We really should thank folks for even the simpliest gestures because it is a blessing everytime someone extends their love to us. It should always be a gesture of the heart.

I often wonder how big would the card be that we would send to God to thank HIM for HIS son and the mercy and grace we receive everyday.I promise there's not one big enough!

I sometimes feel like there should be "something big" we could do for GOD! Truth is HE"S not into big.He just wants our love, trust and faith to mention a few. When I hear praise music at our church some of the songs are just so emotional that I just must get to my knees to praise him. I know I am blessed and I am so humbled by HIS awesomeness, grace & mercy HE shows me everyday. HE does all this yet I am not worthy.I must send him a "verbal card" everyday,right?

I spent some time today with a dear sister, Sue, and never are we together that we don't somehow share what the Lord has done for us. Acknowledging all our blessings is sweet music to Gods ears. Even when things sometimes seem imposible or in turmoil we should still thank HIM

because HE does have a plan for us. I sometimes feel inadequate to quote scriptures because I feel like its my own fault I don't know more than I do. But I do know to tell you about Jesus and how HE will change your life if you let HIM. I could never live without HIM! No never!!

Sue and I have a kindred spirit that we can spend months apart and see each other and just pick up like old times.She is such a great nurse that if I was sick I would want her to be my nurse!!

Wow, Mike and Sean & Shanna are truly blessed.She also tries to glorify God in her career.

I love that!! Just as Sue has the gift of nursing we all have own own gifts. Search for your own gift and use it to glorify God. He will reward your obedience.

Its late and I better close.....

I've got Thank You notes to write and Thank You prayers to pray.

I have been wanting to learn this"bloggin" stuff for some time now but never would make the time to do it, even though it IS my hearts desire. I felt like it would take away from some
responsibility, obligation, chore that I have and my wants/needs were less important.
Besides at my age learning this stuff is somewhat intimadating and nerve racking(is that a word?) but i DO want to do it!!!Especially now.I'll explain later. My precious friend Sue has been guiding me through this and she is so patient with me that I could cry with gratitude. I pray this time I will make the commitment daily to do this. I know, I know I deserve it, but there's alot of responsibility on my shoulders these days. I will train myself to have fun again.Life is precious and tomorrow may never come, right? It's funny how I can paint a whole house 14rooms, tear electrical boxes out and replace them,install light fixtures, hang wallpaper, refinish furniture, hang trim & molding, organize wedings, make bridal bouquets & boots, host parties and family dinners, volunteer, but I let this "lack of knowledge" of computer operations control me!!
God has not given me a spirit of fear so why do I allow it to dominate me here? Well, Praise God, I am going to change my spirit(with HIS help) and tackle this greeneyed monster. I know my children will be proud too . It's embarassing to telll them I DON"T KNOW HOW!!( I know how to do alot of stuff to be a girl and I rarely have to hire anything done because of my vast knowledge! haha.)So please put me on your refridgerator door prayer list that I successfully
master this task for myself! I will glorify the Lord with this blog! :-)

Now for my wonderful news.
On May 6, 2009 my childern called to ask me when I come to Nashville would I like to join a club?( I immediately thought,"They are into Amway",and ofcourse I will sign up, anything for my kids) I replied" sure" and then Missy said, well its a grandmothers club!
FOLKS!!! I was in the WinnDixie and I dropped my keys and bread and grabbed hold of a pole and shouted"YOU ARE KIDDING ME?" I went all over the store telling everyone I saw my wonderful news and how faithful GOD is that he would bless us all in the wonderful, wonderful way! I have to confess that I am still in shock somewhat ! I am happy to get to be a yaya(my grandmother name) but I am overjoyed that GOD chose to bless my children in this way. There was a period in their lives that we weren't sure if this would ever happen and my heart wept for them. It's hard as a moma when you can't fix your childrens broken heart. You're just helpless.
But God in his wisdom knows best and what we didn't know is that HE wasn't saying no, just not now. We can truly see how God has had his hand in this all along . We had to trust that He always knows best.

Missy has asked me if I have told many people?
I replied,"Only my top 50 Friends!"
I bragged on God sunday night at church as I announced my yayahood!!
I put a sign in my yard!!
Hey, I considered the local paper(that would have been too much, right??,ok, i'll cancel it)

I want to be a good yaya. The old fashioned kind like I had where mamaw was always sewing or giving or cooking or loving us and you really were never in a hurry to leave......:-)
Clayton is excited about being a papa. He is so good with children that they just love and cling to him.You can see it in the neices and nephews. I think its because of his childlike spirit and gentleness.

I really need to close for now even though I don't want to my eyes are tired and its late but i am so grateful to you Sue Combs for taking the time to show me how to do this.
"I love ya more than my luggage"

If you don't have a refrigerator prayer list , try it sometime.:-)
Everytime you pass by you will call to mind those on the list and say a prayer for them.
Gosh, you could be prayed for a zillion times at my house cause the fridges at the back door!

Missy's blog for the baby is on my blog if you want to follow it.
It's the big adventures of Lil Duck. See in the Knight family Missy is known as Aunt Missy Duk and Donald is Uncle Donald Duk so it only seemed right that for now little bit is Lil duck, right?
Its sweet. I think you will enjoy it!
