A Grateful heart? or a Great full heart ?

Tonight I am so full of the joy that comes from having family, the Kingdom family, which can be just like 'blood relatives', or even greater! I feel so blessed to read this letter from one of my viewers who is battling with cancer, her letters always in spire me, and leave me with a "great full" heart. Big smile. It will bless you too...read on (printed with permission).
I want to tell you about my wonderful family.
Who has been a great part of my life growing up?
I have a wonderful father,mother,brother David and my wonderful sister-in-law, my 3 nieces, one nephew, who has encouraged me to be a great listener,and to tell them about my life,and about Jesus who cares for us. My family is wonderful to be around, they are very understanding,and very helpful to be there for me through my trials of impatience of going down to M D Anderson for cancer treatment. My family is the best of the best,they are so caring and so understanding to help me get through my rough times of my life.
The reason why my family is great because they know how to love you no matter what happens they can help you to relax and be patient about your situations of your life.
I am so thankful for my family a loving family.

With Mothers Day coming we can take time to write a note to say how 'great full" we are. And whisper a prayer for that matter too!

Our newest child

 I love to hold and smell new born babies, they come with a promise and with God's blessing. Here is the newest member of our family, Jaxon Coomber. When we look in his eyes we see his his trust and dependency, love and hope, we see a future of great things to come. Big smile. When we look into the eyes of Jesus with trust and dependency we find hope and a future too! A wonderful positive furture filled with promises.

Emily took me to Hanna Montana

I went to a movie tonight with my little friend Emily, age 9, she chose Hanna Montana. The movie was cute but at times a little juvenile. I would glance around at the children laughing hysterically and I would paste on a smile. Bu at the of the show when Hanna sang these words...

There's always going to be another mountain

I'm always going to want to make it move...

Ain't about how fast I get there,

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's about the climb"

....I wiped a tear from the corner of my misty eyes. I was reminded of the mountains in my life, such as the time I had 20% of my body in second and third degree burns and my feet were deeply scared...the promise I clung to and then and the verse I embraced was... " How lovely on the mountain are the feet of them who bring good news." I had assimilated this scripture into my life while I was healing and preparing to go back into evangelism. I was in a rush back then too, to heal and to take the good news to the Nations!

Now here I am in transition, years later, and once again anxious to "get to the other side", to "make the mountain move" and "in a big hurry". Who would have thought the Lord would use a childrens' movie tonight to remind me...its all about the climb? Sigh. I am so blessed. And so are all the children at the theater, oh how wonderful to learn these lessons early in life. Excuse me I need to go down load that song on my ipod

April Fools Day

Well I missed it, April fools had come and gone and an entire morning of opportunity to laugh and have fun! I simply forgot. And no one called me either! I can't believe not one of my family of friends pulled one on me. This is the first time in all my life, that I can recall, not having fun on April Fools day! Sigh.
Hmm the only thing that I can think of is that famous missionary Jim Elliot, who said "He is no fool who gives what he can not keep to gain what he can never loose". So there... at least I blogged something with the word fool in it! Big smile. Now I can go to bed and sleep in peace. Hope you had a happy April Fools Day!
