Happy Faces

Here is a photo of my youngest 4 at the Pink Palace Museum. VBS was so much fun but we are tired. We have a week to recover and rest and attend our current church's VBS next week at night. It starts Sunday which to my surprise is Father's Day. How did it sneak up on me? How will I deal with this day now? Anywho.....before I cry again today............

My Momma has headed to Chattanooga for her annual meeting for Food Service. She always enjoys the trip out of town, but this year I think it will be much different, she has always been reluctant to leave Daddy at home for the week. There I go again.............

A call from a friend today in desperate need of prayers and one of my family member as well...........families in need of healing and strength.

The Chapman family.....such a precious family and showing God's love thru all of this. I have read the blog posts for the Jim Houser, Grace Graham and the Hasenbalgs. Such encouragers in the faith during such a difficult time.

The journey the last 3 months has changed my view of going to the grocery store, running errands, everything.....who else is in pain and on the verge of tears, or bursting into a blubbering mess. Too many of us are in pain and the people around us may never even know who we really are. As Christians isn't it sad that we don't know one another well enough to "know their pain" or know when they are in pain. I am so frustrated with the world telling us we must put on our happy faces and pretend. I am not up to pretending anymore, I never was very good at it anyway. People ask how you are doing but they really don't want to hear if it isn't "great" or "fine". SAD! They don't want to know they truth, the pain, the joys, the sorrows, the accomplishments, etc.

Life has been fun and painful all rolled into one. My husband is home everyday !HALLELUJAH! I am so grateful for his presence in our home again. It makes so much difference in every one's life to have him here.
