Sweet Pictures of Life

It's been almost a whole year since I wrote last.  I contemplated quitting this blog because of the things that have happened in the past year or so.  My outlook on life has changed.  We have grieved with two close family friends who unexpectedly lost their beloved spouses, and just a week ago, we celebrated my godly grandma's life. She left quite a legacy and a very grieving husband.  

Life is precious and memories are good.  We are not guaranteed tomorrow.   

In all we do, I pray our family brings honor to God and enjoys this life and these people He has graciously given us.

That is why I wanted to post again.

A celebration of each day.  A place to laugh and ponder what we have been given.
