Family will be arriving to the farm!!!!!!

Hello sweet ladies,

The house is almost ready.........the son's and their families will be arriving at our farm early this evening........the same farm that the boys would come to when Grandma and Grandpa were alive. My mother in love would stay up most of the night getting everything prepared.  What a treasure of memories I have stored in my thoughts today.  I remember how excited I would feel when my sweet man and I would drive the 5 miles from our farm with our chattering boys in the back seats to the farm we live at now. The butterflies were going off in my tummy as well.  I wonder if our children and their children feel the same. They know that when we all sit down before opening presents, Poppa will read the CHRISTmas story first. Oh how I wish Grandma Jo and Grandpa Jack could be here. How life changes......now we are the Grandma and Grandpa. I love being the Grammie, but I so wish we could have it the other way too. Smile! It is kind of a helpless feeling when your parents are gone. My Momma is still here, but with Alzheimer's it changes things. Hard!

I hope that your day will be filled with making memories........they never leave you do they. It is a gift I think from the Father.......some for those of you are alone.....all you have is memories......know that I am praying for you......for those who are going through very tough times.......I have you before the Father also. Whatever situation you are in God is not far...just speak to Him......tell Him your everythings...and don't believe that He isn't.......truth is that He does!!!!!!!! 

I must go to finish up those final touches that still need to be done. If you need someone today.....email me (top right hand side on sidebar). I can pray for you....I don't want you to be alone. Honest! Please write! 

Speaking of praying...........one of our Tea Party Across the Miles ladies was in a wreck this last Monday. She has a broken wrist,  hurt shoulder and neck. It must hurt bad. Please pray for Sherry. I am thankful we all are a part of a family of sorts......precious! Thank you! 

Merry CHRISTmas from our farm,

Linda
