Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? It is day 23 of the new year. It is hard to believe that in 8 days it will already be February 1st. This month is flying by and that is okay with me. That means that we are getting closer to Spring time and warmer weather. Today was not so bad though. It is 38 degrees outside and cloudy skies. Tomorrow it is going to be 56 degrees and rain all day long. I guess heavy at times as well. Mom is hoping that with the rain and the temp it will melt some of the snow away from here. My fingers are crossed at this...lol!
 Today, Mom was up early and I fed the pups and got fresh coffee going for Mark. I went back to lounge in bed for a bit but not long at all today. I got up and made a good breakfast for Mark and I, did the dishes and then decided that because we were not going out today as planned (both of us are sick) Mom started going through pictures so that I could get our digital photo frame finally up and running. I thought it would take me just a couple of hours but I have been at it since 1 pm and it is no going on 5:45 pm and I just finished it up. Mom needed to collect all the pictures, plug it in and watch the whole thing to see if I needed to change things and I did...many times. Lots of pictures needed cropping so that took some time but the end results and all that work paid off. It looks awesome and Mark likes it as well. He even told me that I did a great job! I will take that as I have never done anything like this before. I am proud of myself! Now I am so far behind in the evening routine. The pups are fed already and now I have to get dinner going for Mark and I. I am sorry that this is going to be a short letter tonight. I will make it up to you tomorrow. Mom just doesn't want to be eating at 8 pm. Both Mark and Mom are still not feeling the greatest either. I will make sure to light the candle tonight and whisper to you like I always do. Have fun this evening while Mom is getting some sleep. Come visit if you can my sweet precious son. I miss you so much and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my superhero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you are in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will fill you in on any updates that I may have as well but today I have none. I haven't spoken to anyone at all in 2 days or nights. I will touch base with them by the weekend. Mom is going to go for now but I will be back tomorrow so until then....good night and sweet dreams. 
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is today's prayer:

The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all...Praise the Lord, all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the Lord, my soul. Psalm 103:19, 22, NIV

Dear Father in heaven,we thank you for giving our hearts hope for your kingdom, the kingdom of God. We thank you that again and again we may draw strength from this hope, find new youthfulness and courage, and discover how powerfully, though hidden, your kingdom is already approaching. Protect this vision and help us when we fail. All will come right. Whatever happens, we are in your hands, and no one shall snatch this joy from our hearts. Amen.
