Thankful & Blessed to have you in my life!
Happy Birthday Sweet Jordyn!
On this day somewhere way back in time,
God smiled on me and
Papa ~dellgirl~.
He said, "I'm sending you some sunshine, a whole lot of joy,
and a treasure beyond
compare!
Take care of her, enjoy her, and above all, love her.
But, remember this, “she is MINE."
With that in mind and joy in our hearts,
we welcomed the world's
#1 daughter, our one and only –
DuAnne aka Jordyn.

It's Sooo Annoying

Do you know someone who wants every dat-gummed thing they see anybody else with? It doesn’t matter what it is, if they see you with it, they want some. If you talk about something you ate, they want some. If you mention that you bought a particular something two years ago, they want one.
God forbid if you walk through the room in a pair of raggedy old slippers, they want to know where you got them. You tell them where you got them, and the next thing you know, they want a pair.
How about it, do you know anyone like that? It is one of the most annoying things I know of. It makes me lie, just plain-old-straight-out-lie.
Once during a visit with my “person who wants everything they see”, I entered the room one morning with my piping hot cup of coffee. I’m ready to settle down, sip my coffee, and chat with them for a while. Before I could even bend my knees to sit on the couch, they asked, “What’s that you drinking?”
Without blinking an eye I replied, “Water”.
There now, that ought to hold them while I enjoy my morning coffee in peace!
Ok, I’m done. That’s my rant for the day, good to get that off my chest. Wheeewww!
What are your thoughts on this? Do you know anyone who wants everything they see someone else with? How do you handle them?
A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband,
dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston and
walked timidly without an appointment into the Harvard University President's
outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods,
country hicks had no business at Harvard, & probably didn't even deserve to
be in Cambridge.
'We'd like to see the president,' the man said softly.
'He'll be busy all day,' the secretary snapped.
'We'll wait,' the lady replied.
For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally
become discouraged and go away.
They didn't, and the secretary grew frustrated
and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she
always regretted.

You can
easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can
do nothing for them.
When I think of you on this your special day, I thank God for HIS goodness. I am grateful that HE chose me to be blessed with you for my baby son.
I am eternally thankful that he considered me worthy to have you, my handsome and adorable baby son.

Let the healing begin . . .
Don’t Quit
When
things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life
is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.
Often
the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success
is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
