Pleasant Surprise

Today I had an incredible surprise...my friend, Amy (far right) came over to visit.

This group of women were and have been such a blessing in my life. When I started to homeschool, these women and I would get together to pray for our children and for us as we ventured into the incredible ministry of homeschooling. We would also get together for fun times. This picture was taken at a Tea given by Hamilda (far left). She put on a feast for us. She had "minks" and hat for each one of us. We had such a wonderful time! This was only one of many times that we enjoyed each others company. Well, as life would have it we have all entered different seasons of our lives, however, each one of them has a very special part in my heart. Some years ago, Amy moved to Colorado. This weekend she was visiting her girls in California and she made time to come and sit with me for a while. It truly was a pleasant surprise and an incredible visit. Thank you Amy for making time to come by. Maybe one day I will visit you in Colorado;)

Poems

It’s sometimes very difficult for us to understand the wisdom and the love behind the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn’t have the rainbow if we didn’t have the rain; We wouldn’t know the pleasure if we never tasted pain.

We wouldn’t love the sunrise if we hadn’t felt the night; And we wouldn’t know our weakness if we hadn’t sensed God’s might.

We couldn’t have the springtime or the yellow daffodil if we hadn’t experienced the winter’s frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine is something God has made. He knew too much could parch our souls so He created shade.

So God’s given us a balance: enough joys to keep us glad, enough tears to keep us humble, enough good to balance bad.

And if you’ll trust in Him you’ll see though yesterday brought sorrow, the clouds will part and dawn will bring a happier tomorrow.

"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
