When we gathered at church last night to remember husbands, grandchildren, sons, daughters, parents, and grandparents, I had no idea how special it would be………..
We ate, we hugged, we laughed, we shared……..
Then we began creating……..
Measuring, cutting, tracing, assembling………..
But most of all, sharing.
Sharing memories, sharing life, sharing stories, sharing love……..
After we had taken our photos, our craft supplies, and our ornaments and created beautiful heirlooms for our trees and for gifts for friends and family……….
And after we had gathered in a circle with candles lit,
tears falling,
prayers said,
and “Joy to the World” sang (after all, the coming of the Savior is what gives us our joy),
we smiled and knew that our evening together was just what we all needed to begin this holiday season.
In my heart I knew “This was good.”
As I look back on last night, I wonder, “Is this how the world began?”
Hugging, laughing, sharing……….
Then creating.
Followed by the words,
“This is good.”
I’m thankful that as I type these words, God is busy again…….
Hugging, laughing, sharing, and creating a Home for us all in Heaven.
One day I want to meet each of you there, and as I hug you I will say with a great big smile!
“THIS IS GOOD!!!”
Have a happy Monday!
I love you all so much,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!

Tammy,
Is there a website with instructions for those ornaments?

I would like to help others how to learn foreign language. I build vocabulary flashcards. A major benefit of the flashcards is that they are extremely portable, comfortably fit into my pocket. If I am standing in the queue at the movie theatre or the mall I pluck them out kill some time by revising them. To make cards I use Accelebrain tool.
