Morning.
This early hour at the beginning of my day finds me ...
Peaceful, well rested, with yummy coffee in my favorite mug, enjoying some
multi-tasking on my computer,
and still thinking of my "DATE" with my sweet hubby last night.
We are not much for being the movie going sort, yet last night
when I came home after work,
when I came home after work,
that darling man of mine said...
"lets go get dinner and a movie". So we did.
Spontaneity rained supreme. LUV THAT!
Date night on Thursday, what a lovely surprise.
(Gee....how did I ever get so lucky? Look at him.
Rugged, manly, handsome...and MINE!)
This early morning hour also finds me thinking
of other events from this week.
of other events from this week.
Events such as....Heartbreak,
disappointment and loss
for my sweet and lovely Possum.
disappointment and loss
for my sweet and lovely Possum.
That is my daughter's "nickname" for those who are unaware.
(here is my Possum. She is taking a picture of herself
and her mamaw at church last Sunday evening)

"Mamaw"...Susan....is my hubby's mother, and my mom
(technically mother in law.
Yet she has always been more of a true mother
to me than my natural one. I am most blessed!)
Anyway, my sweet daughter has once again been brought
to the point of heartache, hurt,
to the point of heartache, hurt,
and utter disappointment, because of another.
It hurts me so to see her hurting and knowing that
there is little I can do except just be here
there is little I can do except just be here
for her, love her as only a mother can,
and encourage her to always lean on the Lord.

Bob and I are trying to help her see that God is truly in control of all things,
and no matter how bad things
and no matter how bad things
may seem right now, Christ will be with her, help her, lead her,
guide her, and walk beside her all the way.
guide her, and walk beside her all the way.
She only needs to trust in HIM!
Please pray for my sweet Possum!
I fear the capacity of her heart to love others is much to large,
far to loving, and her complete openness to always trust others...blindly,
far to loving, and her complete openness to always trust others...blindly,
will more often than not, bring her much pain.
How do we teach our young one's how to use caution in matters of the heart,
or in trusting others so blindly?
or in trusting others so blindly?
Yes, there are times where that is the right way of things,
but there are also other times when common sense and previous bad experiences
must cause our heart and mind to use caution.

This, I am not sure can ever fully be taught by one's parents,
friends or family, but only through life's experiences,
friends or family, but only through life's experiences,
happenings, and our Lords guidance and plan for our lives.
This happy couple is....
my son Bobby (the Marine) and his girlfriend Kandace.
When Bobby was home last month
he had asked for permission from Kandace's fatherto
"Officially Court Kandace".
Her father (Dean) gladly said Yes.
These two were just beyond happy.
Just in case you are wondering, they are following a
good and godly Christian courtship.
Bobby and Kandace are both so happy about this,
and happy with each other.
These two seem to have so very much in common,
and they already adore one another very much.
Since last November, the only contact these two have had
(at the permission of her father and us) was through emails,
and his visits when he came home.
He was able to see her at church, and when our families
got together.
Now God has seen fit to allow them to go to the next level.
Wonder where my sweet Lord will take these two?
We just adore her family, and have for many, many years.
They are just about some of the most
They are just about some of the most
normal, sweet, honest, good Christians
anyone could ever be blessed to know.

Well, before I go and get ready for another day at the office,
I thought I would share a great picture with ya'.
This one reminds me
(especially during those time when I feel like I don't fit in,
(especially during those time when I feel like I don't fit in,
or I am just way to weird for others...LOL),
maybe it isn't that I am weird, but that I am
maybe it isn't that I am weird, but that I am
unique, special, and in the words of this little one...
I HAS FLAIR!!!!
Here is your happy thought for the day.
"Yous not weerd, you haz flair" !
Love & Prayers,
Ronda
Have A Peachy Keen "FLAIR" Kind of Day!
