old post....days after daddy died...never published

I'm keeping my eyes on Jesus through all this mess! God is the Source of my strength.

more proof of my mail box fascination.....checking his mail the day ..
no answers there unfortunately

As you may or may not know my father passed away suddenly this weekend.  (January 27th 2012)

I don't know what words to put together to express ... the....
stuff....emotions...the effort it takes to do silly tasks. Took me 20 minutes to figure out how to put my socks on...I washed my entire body with shampoo then couldn't figure out what to do next. Do you have any idea?

BUT GOD!!! God is giving me the peace that passes ALL understanding. Phil 4:6-7

this old stove was a wedding gift from
my grandparents to my parents
for their wedding...my favorite
gift from my daddy

he made or recycled everything

My boys were pouring out extra love on me that weekend...they knew mama was sad

a letter my dad wrote to me years ago...SO TRUE!!!

a picture I took from the flowers at his memorial service with his water collection system in the background

I had no clue this was never posted...I was just going through my drafts and stumbled upon it tonight....so I thought I'd share a word of encouragement to anyone who's suffered a loss of a loved one.  There is no scar, no pain, no wound, no guilt God can't remove.....HEAL!!!!  I'm living proof of the freedom His forgiveness, grace & most of all, LOVE offers us....offers YOU today. Reach out and take healing...then share this with someone in need because at one point or another we all need healing and forgiveness.
