Well the day is nearly over and I am just getting around to posting this. I've been pretty shaken up today. Sarah has a friend in the kindergarten. She had this little boy over to play last week. The mother of this boy told me today that she has been beaten by her husband. If fact it's been happening for a long time. He put her in the hospital this weekend. She is now living in a women's safe house. She will probably be moving soon. You know stuff like this happens, but I don't often look into the scared eyes of someone who has had to leave everything...and just run away with her kids. What a rotten world! I'm so grateful for the husband God has blessed me with. I'm also glad I took the time to meet this women. It was actually Nicole that met her first. She just walked with her and her kids at the Saint Martians day lantern festival. Nicole is so compassionate and loving. I hope I can help her, I gave her my number and told her I am here. I think it's her plan to move, so please pray for her. I'm not going to use her name here. God knows her name. Some times I get blown away by how greatly God has blessed me...how hard things are for some...and how blessed I am.
My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!
