Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Thursday afternoon? Mom is doing alright. Not getting a lot of sleep because of the weather but I am managing the best I can. This morning I was awake early & Mark was off to the office. I was able to accomplish quite a bit while being here alone with the pups. I made breakfast, made the bed, got ready, dusted, vacuumed, cleaned both bathrooms, did laundry, put everything away, took the pups for a nice walk & now I am writing to you! The weather today is not all that bad compared to the last 2 days. The rain has stopped & the sky is not as dark as it has been but the wind is just nasty. We have been in a wind advisory for the last 2 days & will be in it for the next 2 days as well. The winds are 40 mph with gusts up to 50 mph. The trees are just bending & it is pretty rugged out there. Mom is not going to complain at all though because of all the tragedies that are taking place still in Puerto Rico & the Islands. Nothing is as bad as what they have been dealing with the last couple weeks & then to get hit again with another hurricane. Mom saw on the news that many have lost their lives & their towns/cities have been completed destroyed. My heart goes out to them & I am still praying for everyone there. Last night one of Mom's favorite shows came back on after being off the air for 2 years. It is called The Little Couple. Jen & Bill Klein lived in Houston, Texas about 10 minutes from where Mom & Mark lived when we were there. She worked at Texas Children's Hospital that was located in Katy, TX. Anyways... on their premiere of the show Bill went back to Houston ( they now live in Florida ) to help with the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey & watching it made Mom cry. It was awful to see all the destruction that happened & how many families lost everything & have to rebuild. So many animals were displaced from their families as well. I cried so many tears. Mom heard from a friend that lived in the same complex as we did that most of it was destroyed as well. It was a part that got hit really hard. Mom cried because she has lost touch with everyone that we knew & I was thinking about Ms. Betty, Ms. Shirley, Ms. Mary Louise, Sienna, Harmonie, Jayden & their Mom. Mom is hoping that everyone is okay & they are safe. I pray for them daily as well. So much " natural disasters " are happening. I don't know why but I really wish it would stop. Too many deaths of people & animals as well. It hurts my heart, Tyler. I wish there was something I could do but I can't. All I can do is pray for them all & that is what I have been doing & what I still plan to continue to do. Mom just wanted to let anyone know that reads my letters to you that if they have friends & family that were affected by any or all of these hurricanes that they are all in my thoughts & prayers & I am thinking of them all. Many blessings to everyone.
Not much is really new at all, pumpkin. Mom doesn't have many updates for you. I am so sorry but things have been quite quiet these last several days. Mom did get to touch base with Aunt Beck. Her & John are back from vacation & are doing well. Getting everything all set for the Fall/Winter months ahead & finishing harvesting from their gardens. Bean is well too. I always ask about her when we chat. Meme & Bob are doing the best they can right now as well. Grandpa & Debbie are getting nervous.... 9 days & their big day is here! Everything is going smoothly though which is great. Mom hopefully will have some updates for you in a couple days to come. Mark is working tomorrow & then he is on vacation for 14 days! That will be nice as he needs this time to just relax. We have nothing planned so it will be a go with the flow kind of vacation for us! I am sure there will be an adventure or 2 waiting for us! That is all I have for you today but here are the daily prayers:
May peace flow like a river through the very depths of your being. May joy rise within you like the morning sun. May strength awaken your heart and sturdy your steps. And may faith swallow up your every fear. God is with you at the break of day. He will not fail you. Though darkness and fear and weakness threaten to overtake you, they will not, they cannot, because you belong to Jesus. He is your stronghold, your high tower, your deliverer, and your defender. He heals, reveals, corrects, and redirects. He’s your very good shepherd and will lead you safely through the storm. Trust Him with your whole heart today.
“But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings.[b] And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture (Malachi 4:2 NIV).
Here is a saying for the day as well: " Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you. "
It is that time of the day where Mom needs to get going & start doing the night routine. Mom has a bit of prep work to do for dinner tonight & it is 3: 45 pm. We will be eating by 6:30 pm at the rate that I am going...lol! Mom is hoping that you have a peaceful night with doing all that you want & need to accomplish up there in the heavens above & here in the physical world. I hope you have the time to come visit Mom in my dreams. Thank you for watching over us all during this weather & every other day as well. Mom appreciates it so much my sweet precious son. I miss you like crazy & I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You live inside my heart, mind, body & soul forever. Please never not feel that deep in your soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you. Listen for my voice tonight when I whisper to you. Smile & Mom will smile back to you. Until tomorrow night.... Good night & sweet dreams my shining star! All my love to you....
Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!
