A Home Is A House Full Of Love

I love my family.  There are the only thing on earth you can take with you to eternity.  How important to share the gospel with all of them!  It is exciting to see my grand children, one by one come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.  I look forward to the day when each one of them has been saved through the blood of Jesus Christ and I look forward to that great reunion in heaven.  You can be 100% sure!

Teaching music to a couple of my grand children is fun, a privilege, and sometimes a challenge.  The other day, my grandson, Kade,  came to his lesson and brought me a whole bunch of notes.  They all said the same thing - "Thank You for being my teacher."   His mom said,  why don't you just give her one note and save another for later.  His reply - But I love Grandma a Whole Bunch!  How precious!  Grand children sure now how to win your heart! 

Since my husband and I get so many notes, cards, etc, from all my grand kids,  I finally decided to start a memory file.  Instead of trying to save every little paper, I have begun taking pictures of all the little treasures that each grand child has given us.  This is my first go around.  I have lots of other memories already tucked away and just decided to start with the most recent of my treasures.  True, this is mostly for myself, but if you are interested, scan through the pictures and see for yourself all the treasure that come from having a house full of love.  God is so good to me! 

God sent a boy Another boy And oh he is such a joy Little Ethan Jeremiah, grand baby number fourteen two days ago, arrived on the scene. We are thankful for all our grandchildren.  This is our 6th grandson.  We have 8 grand daughters.  God is so good! Click on any picture below to see it larger.

Grandpa to Adalyn: What do you want to be when you grow up Addie? Adalyn: Hmm - I think I'll be an old maid.

Grandpa and Grandma had such a good day with Audrey and Adalyn today.  We ate out at Hallelujah Acres, then went to the Schiele Museum in Gastonia.  After that, a trip to the Mighty Dollar so the girls could get some prizes.  This free photo slideshow customized with Smilebox

Our oldest granddaughter, Kylie, had her 11th birthday this week! We had a special day together. We spent a few hours together - just the two of us. We had such a good time! Kylie chose a place to eat (Pizza Inn) and after we got filled up there we did a little shopping and I let Kylie pick out some things she would like for her birthday. She is so easy to please and was most grateful! We enjoyed Pizza Inn, The Mighty Dollar, Burkes, Claires, and the Dollar Tree. The best part was just being together. I love all our grand kids and am thankful that Kylie knows the Lord Jesus as her Savior. I look forward to the day when all of our grand kids are saved. Times here together are precious, but how much more precious that we can spend all eternity together! Below is a video clip of Kylie at Pizza Inn. Below are some more picture of Kylie and myself.  It was a rainy, cold day in May :), but we still had fun.

The following testimony is an amazing story of our newest grandson, Caleb and the trials that his daddy and mommy experienced at his birth. The testimony is written by Caleb's daddy. James 1:16-17 Says: “Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Before our Son Caleb was born, I had a different understanding of these verses. Now, you might think that Caleb is the "good gift" that I'm thinking of when I quote these verses and indeed he is a very good gift for which I am thankful. When he was born as many of you know, he had problems, his lungs were not quite ready to breath air. As a result, he had to spend two weeks in the Infant ICU at Carolina's Medical Center in Charlotte. My immediate thought when I realized what was happening was why me? These things happen to other people, but not to me. I also kept thinking to mysel...
