Today my grandfather passed on to Jesus…Thank you for praying for our family.
Grandfather
We have known all week that my grandfather could pass at any time, but tonight we got word that it will be hours, and then he will go on to be with Jesus. Sad, would be a good word. I really don’t have words tonight to put to how I feel.
I am thankful that Tony was able to meet him a year ago and we were able to spend time with him.
Time is such a precious thing. We do not know how long we will be on this earth. The Lord has each of our days numbered. Our lives are just a vapor. I think so many times we go through life, caught up in the “stuff”…
Time it is precious. Make the most of what you have, with who you have, while they are here!

Natural Consequences…
Learning from Natural Consequences
Sometimes the best way to help a child is by doing nothing and staying out of the way, allowing a natural consequence to provide the teaching. You’ve probably learned a number of things through natural consequences. Maybe more than you’d like to admit.
