For those who have lost a mother

                        MOTHER’S DAY WITHOUT YOU
 
It’s Mother’s Day
and you are gone.
How can I reach out to you?
I want to call you up,
give you flowers,

I want to tell you again,
“I love you.”
Thank you for all you’ve been to me.

an emptiness…
I won’t see you on earth [...]

A time to grieve

My father-in-law went home to Jesus on Monday afternoon. We are happy he is rejoicing in heaven but sad for those of us who had to say goodbye. Life is such a mixture of joy and sorrow. How thankful I am that He loved the Lord. We would appreciate your prayers and thoughts.

Rain-out

Well, we knew there was a forecast for rain, but thought we would manage to get a few hours in  to ride. But we drove 4 hours, spent the night and never even got to take the ATVs out of the trailer. We gambled and it didn’t pay off. We were disappointed  but still enjoyed [...]

ATV Riding

We have had ATVs for about 5 years now. I have never been an extremely confident rider. But after an incident about a year ago that left both me and my quad on our rear-ends, well I have been more nervous. Anyway, we are going riding this weekend in a forest. Beautiful ride but it [...]
