So far behind!

I have no idea where to start, it has been 11 days since I have posted anything. Wow, I didn't even realize it has been that long. We have just been so busy ( I will fill you in). So as I sit here tonight I've been reading and enjoying the post by my blogging buddies. I have laughed, breathed, cried and thanked God.....that 1~ I'm not the only one who has children who will push you to your absolute limit, 2~ for a healthy family, and 3 for someone reminding me that I am too blessed to be stressed! It seems I have been so stressed lately to stop and thank God for the things that are "right." However, in the last two days God has really shown Himself in my life. It seems everything at church that was taught or preached at church yesterday was just for me. Today, as I was reading my "hobby" book (Sunrise by Karen Kingsbury) the very scripture that I helped me yesterday was brought out in this story-line and then tonight we attended Lincoln County Camp meeting and there again MORE scripture that I needed! Who says God isn't direct? That's silly! Sometimes God has to be "in our face" for us just to get it!!!! That's what it took for me this time. So today I am saying THANK YOU LORD (and I'm too blessed to be stressed)!
Besides all of that we spent most of our week (last week) at the hospital and at Hospice house. After spending 2 weeks in the hospital Papaw Bobby went home to be with Jesus. We have loved, laughed and cried this week. We have told stories of the past and looked to the future! One thing we have not done is LOST. We did not lose Papaw he just took a trip without us (said by his lovely daughter Kathy). One day we will be reunited with him as well as the other loved ones who have gone on before. I am so thankful God has allowed me to know and love Bobby and his family. Bobby and Grace Rippy are definately two of Gods very best. You just don't find better. With that being said......I'm now going to bed!
