Grammy's thoughts and ramblings.: My dear mother

Welcome to my blog!!

I have so enjoyed FB and blogging. I love reading others, friends, and younger people who are so good with words. It is my prayer that I be a servant to others. To lead them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is of chief importance to me. My work at the Cancer Center gave me many opportunities to do just that; the center was part of a Catholic institution that had ...."in the Spirit of Jesus Christ"..... in the Mission Statement. God gave me a boldness like never before. I also love journal keeping. I have several. The one I am currently using will run out before Dec. 31. I love it; it has a photo of the four grandchildren, Peyton, Paige, Reese, and Sully on it. Plus a Christmas greeting on the inside page. I keep sermon notes and daily stuff on those pages. Mike said, "Do you ever go back and read what you write?" Answer YES. Regularly.

My dear mother

This is the day that the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. At this writing my mother is gravely ill. We are with her 24/7, being sure that she is as comfortable as possible. She can no longer swallow, just like her father, my Grandpa Harness got when he was dying. It is so hard to watch, yet it is such a privilege to care for her in her own home, just like she wanted. My family and friends have been soooo good to me, to come along side and help and support me. A big thank you to all of you. God's timing is amazing; just as Brenda was coming on her last day (she resigned to care for her foster children) Mom took a downward spiral; it is her family's responsibility to care for her now. That is Biblical, and we intend to do what is right with His guidance. Pray for us as we stand by one of the sweetest, dearest ladies ever. F.
