My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
Life is short; be kind to each other. Be kinder than necessary- because everyone you meet is fighting some sort of battle.
It is my pray that YOUR cup shall be filled to overflowing with love and joy.
But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven...
And it shall come to pass, if ye shall harken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. Deut 11:11
Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i have decided that i kind of want to use this blog to write about memories of growing up, to give samantha glimpses of events that have helped carve my personality-who i am and how i got that way, to help her to better know my grandparents, and what it was like growing up in the late 60's and 70's in the small town of lake city, tn. along with that, maybe some comfort for loss of her mamaw. i know that what i write will not be in chronological order, so i will try to estimate the times as best i can, and i will be posting pictures from time to time. the recipes and food related items are ones that i want to be sure that i don't lose when my computer crashes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Goodbye."
Very cool! We seem to have a lot in common, you know - mental health issues, we've both been to culinary school & taken baking & pastry...
