Going Home


I flew home to Clover, SC Saturday and getting back into the groove of being here is proving emotionally difficult. I want to be back in Denver, CO with my grandson

I picked up my Maggie at the kennel and she was so happy to see me. I was equally happy to have her back with me. She's a good friend to me.

I went to church Sunday and several people said that they had missed me and asked about my trip. It was nice to know I was missed.

But you know, I miss the hugs. I miss my grown sons coming over to my daughters house and grabbing me like I was a rag doll, picking me up and hugging me until I begged them to put me down. I miss my grandson pulling my face to his for a wet sloppy open-mouthed kiss. I miss my daughters hugs and words of affirmation. I miss my 's love.

It occurred to me that these things are very important. Being with people who love you - well, there is nothing that can match that. Not this business that provides an income for me (don't misunderstand me - I am grateful for my business and what it offers me). Not the independence that I thought I desired.

And I am thankful. Thankful that God has given me parents and 3 beautiful who love me. Thankful for my baby grandson. Thankful that God is constantly showing His love to me. Thankful that I am a beloved of God. Thankful that God didn't give up on me when I was walking without Christ.

Whether or not we get to experience daily hugs - it doesn't negate the love our friends and family have for us. We are not alone, God has given us community for a reason - to lift us up and support us when the enemy tries to separate us from God.

I am loved by God AND my family. I am truly blessed. I praise my Savior - who is awesome and mighty and worthy to be praised!

Hi Rhonda,

Yes, I have! Thank you for asking I have prayed about it and have been given confirmation that it is God's will for my life. I am sooooo there I won't be able to go until I sell my business so it will be a little way off, but my job offer has provided for me to be able to take care of the needs I have. I am so blessed! Praise God!

Don't laugh Israel - I own a mobile home park. Okay, you can laugh...I'm thinking it's funny too. I tell people I'm the queen of my doublewide trailer with it's polyester curtains and it's redwood deck (it's an OLD country song).
