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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SANDY

 


This is the day that the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Today is my younger daughter's birthday. Mike and I called her to sing the traditional song. She has been a joy all these years (i accidentally typed "
job" instead of joy). Funny, eh? I have posted a picture of Mother, me, Jamie and Sandy taken when she was 5, I think. She says there are no JUST pics of her, all have Jamie in them. She's right. Never thought of taking them separately. We must remember when Baby Snyder comes to get some of the baby only, not always with the twins. On that warm day, 35 years ago, Jamie stayed with Aunt Ann, while Mike and I headed for the hospital in Urbana. She weighed 5 pounds and 4 ounces. Aunt Katy, Mike, and Jamie came to take us home. I held her all the way. No car seats, no seat belts (I'm not sure about that!!) But, Praise the Lord, we made it safe and sound. We had lots of company for the next several days, and we got to show off our new baby girl. So, Happy Birthday, Dear Sandy, Happy Birthday to YOU!
