Family -- Memory Making -- Priceless....

Gathering together and sharing in making new memories with old friends or new additions to the family is what the Month of March has been about. Our arrival to our favorite vacation spot brought a tinge of saddness as two good friends, Fred & Gordon went onto heaven since our last trip there. They were mentors to us.
Being able to laugh at ourselves and or see ourselves in our children adds to the adventure. Our newlywedds celebrated their one year anniversary on 3-15. Our grandson touched his toes in the ocean with his father for the first time at two months old.
The children have been doing some physical training while at the ocean (Running). Don loves walking and sometimes he has company in doing so.
Beach days are few and taken advantage of when they occur.
There are twists and turns to life and the question of why??? always is present. Our good friend was plowed down on beach by two loose dogs. Sue is recovering after hip surgery in a hospital. I wonder if the people that own the furry wild ones even realize what occured. Sue's lab sure misses her.
We can see how loneliness brings on thoughts of what if....
But we can also see how Jesus stayed steadfast in carrying out His Father's plans in teaching others of His love.
Know Jesus love you! We thank Him for Family time past, present, & future!

Wow what a week....
It's a wonder that God is still with us. I've been reading my Bible (each day I get a taste of new and old testaments)... With craziness of last weeks happenings, I got behind and instead of giving up, I've asked God to slow me down and him catch me up.. Well time in a waiting room in Traverse City I didn't give to Him accept in lifting up Grandpa (Ken) Joyner in prayer as doctors repaired and replaced arteries and a valve. Conversing with the Lord brings out the truth that He alone has power to sustain life or bring a person on into Heaven.

Getting out of her comfort zone (home front), Jodi and baby Trey packed up and climbed in Grandpa Don's van for our adventure to be with family during medical happenings

The gleem in mom Joyner's eyes when she would watch Trey girgle and make funny facial expressions helped to take her mind off worry during GG surgery.
When she held Trey her shaking hands slowed as they lovingly hugged him.
.
Niece Emily was blessed by teaching staff where she student teaches sending her pictures via text letting her know she was missed. But.. Traverse with family was where she was meant to be..

It's a week later and we are blessed with GG doing better. Prayers still needed in GG's rehab and getting home and back on his feet.

Praise to God for all the safety in traveling for all family members as far away as GA.

So... I am reading in Number's and God's people really made Him frustrated in whinning and wanting more... My goodness how do we measure up in our mind sets today?

I received a blessing in hearing from a loved one yesterday.

Hours, days, years go by but when prompted by God... do as He commands.
Love is unconditional and He proves that every second of every day.

"Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life" Psalm 23:6

We are safe and desire His will.
