Past Memories

I went to the eye doctor today and he is located in one of our old neighborhoods. I love to go back in time sometimes because it shows me again all the blessings that my wonderful God has bestowed on me.

I saw the park that our family went biking to, the Hansens Dairy that is now closed down and some of the homes of old friends.

This was the first home that we had purchased so my kids were younger, my oldest around 11 and my youngest just 2. I would take that time back in a hearbeat. I loved being a stay at home mom with the kids. If you are a mom and you want to stay at home with your children and think that you can't afford it just do it. The stuff that you think you need in this life will come and come right when you need it. That is how it happen for us.

I am older now and realize the more you have the more you have to take care of. This home had a three season's porch and the kids loved it. The two windows on the porch side didn't have screens on them so the kids could crawl in and out from there room to the porch. They made tents and what not out there. I loved to sit out there and read.

I remember a time on a Saturday a neighbor watched our youngest daughter Kim walk down the driveway and turn the corner to go down the block. He called us so we were able to go right after her and we asked her where she was going and she said to meet her sister at school. That could of been a close call except the Lord always has His angels watching over us. Psalm 91 has always been a comfort to me in this day and age that we live. If you haven't read it you should. I read it everyday over my family. It is God's promise to us if we believe that.

We watched our Jodi go from Elementary school to Middle school to graduating from high school. My children are both long time out of high school and I am very proud of the young women that they have become. It won't be long and they will have there own husbands, children and memories.

I pray that as you read this today that your life is as blessed as mine.
