Elaine said...: ...and might I just add that you are the best "matching clothes chooser or shopper or whatever" I have ever seen!! Look at all that brown and aqua...did you start with your dress and then match the boys...or maybe you started with the princess first!!! Only an artsy person would wonder that, I suppose, but anyway...WELL DONE!!!

Would you believe that you were almost ready to come home to Kalamazoo BEFORE I connected her prayer request with what I was reading in the Gazette?! So happy for all of you. And yes, we've all shed sad and happy tears with you -- and still are! God bless you; He is so great and so good!!!; September 21, 2009 at 4:16 PM

Heart Poem

It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit. He is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared. He asks,"Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies,"Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says "When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart". "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves."
