We're going to FLorida for a week. Our plane leaves tomorrow and we're running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to make sure we're set. At least I'll have Terry to help me with the kids on this trip!!!
We're so excited. We have some appointments set up for Tuesday to look at some houses. My mom took off 4 days of work so that she could spend time with us and watch Grace and AJ.
On another note, we will be visiting Terry's grandfather over in Brooksville on the Gulf Coast--he has cancer and 2 weeks to live. Terry and I have had some discussions about that, and ironically, the series at church right now is "30 Days to Live". The first in the series dealt with living purposefully: turning intentions into actions, turning focus from self to others, and turning our hearts from earthly matters to eternal matters. Here's a link to that sermon: Live Purposefully
Today was the 2nd in the series, and it covered loving deeply: be present in connecting with others, (and for those of you who watch Barbie: The Princess and the Pauper, I think, "Stay present, stay pleasant and proud. . . " but I digress); and forgive freely--because time is just too short to hold a grudge.
They're not always right on times, as you know, so I hope he has as long as he wants, and that your visit with him is nice. Sorry to hear about the cancer.
ReplyDeleteBut on a lighter note, too bad none of those houses you'll be visiting will be in Slocala. :) Safe travels.
All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Just keep reminding yourselves that great-grandpa got to see all of the weddings and all of the generations of children. that's pretty powerful
