WITH YOU LORD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

Dear Lord,

You've blended my life with Love, Peace, and a wholeness
that has restored my soul.

Each day brings new challenges, but with You as my leader,
I cannot fail.

I give You all the Praise and Glory.
Amen

MY BIRTHDAY AUGUST 9, 2010 - MY NEW WATCH FROM HUSBAND

Today is my birthday, 75th, and it is a special day.... because I have a wonderful life and great children, and step-children and together my husband and I have lots of grand children and great grand children.

My day started off with me waking up and remembering that today was my birthday. I got out of bed with robust energy knowing that the day would be filled with a breakfast at Denney's Restaurant (free) with proof of birthday. It was so good and I loved it. I got birthday phone calls from my family that started yesterday. It was so good to hear their sweet voices wishing me a Happy Birthday!

The best part of this day is knowing that the good Lord has given me good health and energy to do all the things that retired people do, traveling, day trips, gatherings with family and best of all a nice husband to share this all with.

I am so proud to be a Mother, Grandmother, and wife, and a friend to all. Life couldn't be better. We must enjoy each day that the Lord gives us, with no regrets or misgivings about anything. Just live for today, because yesterday is gone, and tomorrow doesn't belong to us, so live for today!!!

Blessing and happiness to all....

FOURTH OF JULY 2010

FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND....

Having a family get-together in Arizona was fabulous. The Andersen's (my son David & daughter-in-law Stacy) came for a weekend visit. They brought their son Kenny and his girlfriend Sami. We had so much *family fun* and so many good meals together. The best was the last dinner where Mike (son-in-law) bbqed Shis-K-bobs. Also, Sami made a BBQ cake on the grill. That was a first for me, as I've never had that experience before. She decorated it with blueberries and strawberries, and it was delicious. We all went to a nearby park to watch the fireworks. We made smores and relaxed in lawn chairs. We had Cheryl and Mikes girls with us and they decided to sing songs, which we enjoyed. Angel, Cheryl and Mike's German Shepard went with us.

So let us get together again next Fourth of July, 2011 in Arizona and do it all over again!!!

Dearest Lord,

You touch my soul with your abundance of gifts,
given with love.

You give them to us with full measure asking nothing
in return; only to reach out to others showing our
Christianity and compassion for humanity.
Amen

POEM: ENSLAVED BY YOUR LOVE

ENSLAVED BY YOUR LOVE - To be a person without woes, is a dreamer without a dream. To envision a place serene to embrace, brings memories of old entwined with the new. I seek your love embodied in my soul, giving me warmth and making me whole. I've reached the pinnacle of my every dream; having you beside me is everything. BY: Wanda Messimer

Prayer of Righteousness

Beloved Jesus,

You are a forgiving Lord, and You are master over all that
is good.

You have conquered 'evil' and You manage our souls in a way
that brings forth righteousness.

I believe in You Jesus, and love You so.
Amen
