This & That & Grace

I went to a memorial today, of a baby that was still born. It was sad. Her name was Grace Ann. She was 34 weeks along and God took her to be with Him. That's one thing that is sooo hard to understand, WHY? The service was really good, and special. The Pastor read a letter the mom wrote to her baby, and a poem the dad wrote. Both were amazing, and I almost lost it then. But kept it in, mostly. Then at the end, another Pastor sang Amazing Grace. WOW. It was amazing, it was like it was written for her. So precious. I made this for the mom and dad -----> It was my very first painted/modpodged frame! It was so nice to make, and when I first started it I didn't have anyone in mind to give it to, but as I made it, I felt led to make it for the parents. I'm thrilled with the results, and plan on making more in the future.





It is tuesday already, it sure doesn't feel like it. Michael will get a break in the week, as he has thursday off, and we get to have a family fun day! We plan on spending the balmy day bowling, maybe skating if it isn't too warm, and eating out at Boston Pizza for lunch.


I had my niece here today, it was fun to have a little little one around, since my baby is claiming that she is all growed up now. :`(``` (that's me crying) My sister had an ultrasound, and all is well. Baby is growing perfectly. She didn't find out, and I know if she did she wouldn't tell me anyways...lol But I think it is another girl, Noah thinks it is a boy, and Michael thinks it is a girl. I haven't asked the others ;)


Until next time...

Amazing Grace

by John Newton 1779

Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found

Was blind, but now I see.

'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear,

And Grace my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear

The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares

I have already come.

'Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far

And Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.

His Word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures.

When we've been there ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun,

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we'd first begun.
