Stormy Morning!!

We woke up to a STORM at about 5:15 am. It has rained, and wind blown and thunder and lightning!! The National Weather Channel said there were trees downed in Elba, Al, but we did not see any damage where we live, but we don't have trees in our yard either. It has calmed down pretty much for right now, but they say more will come tonight and tomorrow. We thank God for our safety and pray for all in the area to be safe. I pray for those who have damage and have lost everything. It is thundering heavy again, so more rain, probably.
I went to the dentist on Tuesday with a very sensitive tooth attached to a big bridge. He put a temporary filling (medicated) hoping to settle it down, but it has gotten much worse in the last 24 hours. I have to have a root canal in the tooth and all the endodontists are either booked up or are not open this week. I have an appointment on the 14th but if it keeps getting worse, something will have to give. I am biding my time until Monday, if I can stand it and then maybe get worked in. We are planning a trip to Virginia to visit my son on the 4th until the 13th. I really hope to get this toothache taken care of before we leave.

God Bless you ALL!

Just blogging

I have not blogged for some time. We have been kind of busy since the passing of my daughter-in-law on Feb. 20.
My son has had quite a lot of decisions to make and a lot of work to do to get moved to Virginia where he has a new job.
He and his daughter came by Wednesday on the way to Virginia with one small trailer loaded down with some of their things. The rest are on the way in a big trailer. He was getting his new home set up today for the rest of the furniture and things. Boy, it is a lot of work to change an entire household and life. He says he has started over now and is going to get on with making a new life for himself and his two children that are at home. We are all so grateful to God that he has a new job, he had been out of a job since last August. There are so many without work and our heart goes out to all those who are without a job right now. We have a neighbor, a truck driver, and he has been laid off for about a month now. I know that it is tough.
Jan called today and told me about Lori's little boy falling in the pool, and Lori had to dive in and save him. He is only 2 1/2 years old and does not swim yet. They were lucky to be at home and see him when he fell in the pool. I think they are going to put a fence around the pool with an alarm so that doesn't happen again. Praise the Lord he is okay. No harm or ill effects from it!! God is so Good!!!!
We got our grass (weeds) cut today. They were getting pretty big and the yard looks better, but it still got a lot of dead grass, but spring is almost here thank the LORD! I am ready for some steady warmer weather.
Maybe, I won't wait so long to blog from now on. We have still been spending 2 to 3 hours in Bible Class every day and boy, God is really opening up the Scriptures to us.

Trip finally underway

I am so glad that my son is finally on the road to his new home in Virginia. He has had such a trying 3 weeks since his wife suffered a fatal stroke and then passed away. He had to have two funerals, one in McAllen, Tx and then a graveside in Montogmery, Al. Then he had to fly back to McAllen to pack up his house, sell some stuff, load a moving van and trailer, now he is on his way to Houston, Tx for his daughter's surgery follow-up exam. Then on to Virginia where he had started a new job 3 weeks before his wife's stroke. The daughter is only 14 and it will be very hard on her to make new friends and start over without a mother to guide her. I feel for her Dad, trying to be Mom and Dad, but he is a strong person and I know he will make it.
I have had a hard time, thinking of all he is going through and the fact that I live in south Alabama and so far away. But I have tried to support him on the phone and e-mail.
They will be stopping by to see us on Wednesday on the way to Virginia.
I solicit your prayers for his strength, courage and guidance.
In Christ's Love

New Blog

Somehow I don't have my original blog, so here goes a new one.
I know I had written some about my daughter-in Law dying week before last. We buried her in Montgomery, Al. last Tuesday February 24, 2009.
She suffered a fatal stroke and passed away on Friday, February 20, 2009. It was very sad for us all, she was only 44 years old.
My son Scott has had two very long and hard weeks. They were in the process of moving to Virginia where he has a new job. Their house was on the market for a couple of weeks before she passed and it sold the Tuesday before she died. So he is on leave and packing up to move his furniture and his daughter to Virginia. Praise the Lord the house sold or he would have to worry with that.
The Lord takes care of us all!!
