"In Him our hearts rejoice..." (Psa. 33:20-22)

In the process of waiting on on another doctor's appointment, Chelle and Whitney came to our home in Somerville. What fun it was for our family to get together. Jamie, Gaven, Jaden, Avery, Emma and Zephan came from Ft. Worth. We celebrated everyone's birthday for 2009 with Cream Cheese Cupcakes and candles. GranBud's birthday gift bag from Jack & Jodi is on the table....what a hoot! GranBud is fixing one of his marvelous breakfast meals for us all. Yummy! A peaceful, still and chilly autumn morning in Somerville for Chelle to read her Bible. What a joy it was for her mom to look out the kitchen window and see the delight of her heart worship the God she loves. "I have no greater joy than to hear (or see) that my children are walking in the truth." (3 John 4) Whitney helped Grammie make chocolate chip cookies and make ONE BIG one for GranBud's birthday! It was Whitney's idea to make a big one and put a candle in the middle. GranBud truly enjoyed getting this delicious gift from his gal, Whitney! Whitney had not seen the stray kitty GranBud and Grammie took into their home shortly after her family went to Tirana, Albania. The bond that was built in the four days Chelle and Whitney were with us was so sweet. Great memories were made during these days. In the midst of an unsettling emotional season, we were able to rejoice in God's blessings. Truly, as in Psalm 33:20-22 says, "We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name. May Your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in You." "Thank You, Lord, for your faithfulness, your peace, and your forever love! Amen. At the writing of this blog, Monday, October 13, 2008, Chelle and Whitney are safely back in their home in Tirana, Albania. What beautiful memories GranBud and Grammie have in their hearts of the precious time with Whitney! What beautiful memories Charles and Mom have in their hearts of the precious time with Chelle!
