How does one start?

This is my first post.. Mandy, my daughter, has been helping me with my blog.. She is a jewel.. My tiny brain at first thought I would have so much to write about but then when thoughts came to keys, nothing was there.. So I will start simple and well, stay simple.. I am blessed in so many ways.. None of these blessing were earned.. They were given to me by the grace of our heavenly Father.

I have one amazing husband that is my very best friend. How I ever was anything other than his soul mate, I can't remember. I can see in his eyes how he looks deep into the person I am.. We have lived through times that I would look at him and think, what did I see in him, to what I have found in him. He has loved me through my worst trials and given me hope for what he believes is best in me. He has comforted me in my times of hopelessness and held me during our losses.. He has been there when I learned to let go of our children because I had never knew life without them needing me.. When I learned it was me that needed them..To the birth of our grandchildren.. He works hard so that I can spend all my time doing what I want.. But because he knows that when he hits the door every evening, my day is what makes life for him joyful. Lots of wives would think how I love and desire to please him is well, a man that thinks the only use for a wife is to take care of them.. But that is by no means his thoughts or his wishes.. He does all he does so that our lives what what God's intentions were all along...

We have 2 beautiful children that add joy and worry to my life. More times than not, joy...Worry is just my own shortcoming.. I guess you never stop worrying about your children, no matter what others say..

Mandy is our daughter and is the oldest. I have learned many things in having her as a child and a friend.. Amazing that at 54 I have learned from her:) But I feel that if I ever believe I know everything then there is not much left for me here.. But I have watched as she has gone from my child, to her own person, a wife and a mother.. There are many other events I have watched unfold in her life but these are the ones the ones I mentioned are the ones that stand out in my mind and have brought me many hours of joy and I have learned from.. I know she still has these lessons to learn but I know she is open to possibilities. She has never claimed to know it all. She just knows that life if full of reasons and she has the desire to find the reasons for life.. Laughter is her greatest gift to me and sincere love.

Our youngest is Grady, our son.. He is real, honest and doesn't want for much.. Yet he has it all.. He is humble and not boastful of his gifts.. Family is what means the most to him.. He wants and desires myself and his father to be proud of him. He does not yearn for the wealth of money but for wealth of wisdom. Not something he can show others but that he understands.. Perhaps this is hard for most to understand..He has always asked questions that few think of asking.. His creator he doesn't seem to he question much. Nor does he talk about his thoughts on this matter.. But he has such a loving spirit that I know he knows our God, maybe more than I do.. He has a God given talent of music.. That is a great love he possesses.. It is not a high paying talent but it brings him joy and happiness. So here again, riches lie in things most don't look for in life.. He is smart and learns fast.. He wants to learn, too. He can do anything he puts his mind to.. He however, still has "just married on his truck and is divorced". It hurt him deeply..He is a procrastiantor, a huge one!!! But we all have our things that we are not so good at..

Looks like I have more to write about than I thought.. Wait till I get to my son-in law, grandchildren and beliefs.. Not to mention my many mothers, sisters and father.. And then there are the fun events in my life which include all my loved ones but most of all our God.. The road I chose and how God can make all things good reguardless of our choice is unbelieveable:) Hope you enjoy reading.. If not, I enjoy posting things that mean and made me who I am... God has been so good to me.. His blessings are something I want to write about... They mean too much to me not to give Him glory for all He has done even if I wasn't deserving..
