Homegrown smile

This little smile lifted my spirits this morning after I picked it from the garden and then cut the top off. Shows me that Gods love for us does run deep.....even with the foods He allows to grow for us.
I sure hope this little smile lifts your spirits today also.

Homemade doggie treats...the best ones to give to your pets. With the I used pastry flour, creamed corn, green beans &molasses. They love them...and me to. LoL note...I blended up the corn and gb then added that to the flour and then added the molasseswhile stirring. Very simple and no by-products mixed in. Yay for happy doggies.

Oven Canning today...

Doing some oven canning today of our dry goods like flour, beans, noodles, etc. Certainly hope t all turns out right. I will post pics later and give an update on how this all turns out.

Also Heaven is feeling a little better today after having  headache for 2 days and her eyes bothering her also, plus this morning she said her body felt numb, so even though her head and eyes feel better I am going to call the Onc. Dr. To let them know how she has been feeling and to see what they may suggest for us to do.
Also please pray for Waynes Momma as she will be taken to her grand-daughters house today for her to stay there for her final days, weeks or months...whatever Christ may allow. Continue to pray for her children that they may find grace in the valley.

Many blessings to all on this beautiful Monday morning.

Please pray for Waynes Momma...Christ knows all about it. Se needs your prayers of grace to be sent to heavens gates today.

Heaven has been doing great...the Celebration went great as well. Heaven is scheduled for pre-op on Sept. 6th...please pray that all goes well and that she will be able to get the port removed...Amen

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but my dogs knocked my laptop off the couch and busted the screen. I am using a small handheld to post so if there are any mis-spellings its due to not having an actual keyboard. Love to all.

Today i stayed home with Heaven bevause she had sore throat...which is better now. Then Wayne and Samantha came home with some wonderful news...Samantha asked Christ into her heart and got saved. Praise the Lord!!! I know now that God is still hearing my prayers. Thank you Jesus for opening the eyes of my daughter.
Ad for Heaven...she enjoyed her trip to the Mall of America. If she could have done it she would have brought everyone something back. We had a grest time...thank you Make A Wish and to all who donate to help make wishes come true.

Carilion Camp Time

Just got home from having a great time with the hubby and kids at the Carilion Family Camp. We had fun Tye-Dying t-shirts, canoeing, wall climbing, watched an outdoor movie horse-back riding and of course eating. We had pizza, Carrabas and Chic-Fil-A. We had so much fun and done so many activities. I love spending time with them. We took bunches of pics ans was able to see several of the nurses that worked with Heaven at the hospital. Heaven was so happy to see several of the people that we had met in the hospital. It was such a blessing to see several of the kids that I had made a pillow for. It was so hot though.....but we were still able to have so much fun. Can't wait till next year.

We are back home now and we are relaxing in a cool house getting our things ready to go to church tomorrow. Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend as we have and may Christ bless you each and every one.

Beautiful Day

‎Today was a great day. and beautiful day...none like any other. Sun shining, birds singing, children laughing and having fun...great day. Once Wayne got home from work he rested a bit and then he got all cleaned up and we all went out to eat. We had a wonderful time...we only get to do this about once every 3 months, but we had fun. On the way to the restaurant the RN form the Healthcare Center that now draws Heavens labs called me with ehr results.....AMAZING!!! GOD is good ALL the time...Praises go to HIM.....

wbc...5.4
rbc...2.92
hemo...10.7

hema...31.7

Now Heavens Oncology Dr. explained that the anc can fluxuate from day to day, but to me right now...the numbers are amazing, this truly proves the Christ is totally in control. Please keep the prayers coming for all of the family. Also, please remember Waynes Momma and Grandpa...they both really need special prayers. ♥ to all and many blessings. :-)

God gives Grace
