A quote worth repeating:

A gal I met through emailing at work posted this on her face book the other day, and I must say its worth copying down in my blog too:


If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

-Mother Theresa

As you can see...I took lots and lots o' pictures!!

We had so much stinkin fun at the apple orchard. We spent the entire day there, and ended it by picking our own apples off the trees. Pretty amazing that you can pick something right off a tree and just eat it. Just one more amazing thing from our Heavenly Father!!

And Even MORE Fall Fun!!

More Fall Fun!!

Fall Fun~

Grandma Lillie's funeral~

What a beautiful funeral it was. Grandma looked so peaceful. She looked beautiful. She looked better in her passing then she did those last few weeks of her life. My singing went off without a hitch...or so I'm told. I sang both songs, Amazing Grace and It Is Well With My Soul to Danny playing on a CD for my background music. I got to see a lot of relatives I haven't seen in years.

I am grateful that grandma was a woman who loved and served the Lord. I am grateful that she brought her children up in a way where they, too, know the Lord and have passed that along to their children, who pass it along to theirs...

Grandma is whole once more, and she is where she had been longing to go for a long time.

Thank you, Lord, for taking grandma's hand, and leading her home.
