Back at home...

I got home around 11:00pm Sunday night. I stopped in at Cleveland to see those that attended Bible Training Institute this year. I went to eat at the Gondilier (yummy) and stayed for the evening service at Zion Hill. There was a wonderful spirit and presence of God there. BTI is a wonderful experience if you are ever able to go. I had a nice visit with Erika and her family. She is under a tremendous amount of stress with 2 children, a building project and her health. Please say a special prayer for her as oft as the Lord lays her on your heart. She desperately needs a miracle from God. We won't know anything about the seizures until the MRI and EEG on June 4th. I will be going down to Macon again to help with the children while she goes to the hospital. Her children are beautiful like all my grandchildren. God has really blessed me with some of the most beautiful grandchildren. I pray for my family each and every day. I pray God's perfect will for us, because I know that is the best life there is on this earth. We all have problems, tragedies, troubles, trials, sorrows and the list goes on. But when your life is surrendered to God you know that he knows best and even though you have dreams and hopes, you know his ways are always best. It's such a comfort to know that God is watching out for you and your family. Without that hope I couldn't make it. I patiently and not so patiently wait on him to perform his will in my life and the life of my family. Kailee loves me to pieces and one night when it was bedtime ( she always comes in my room to tuck me in) we make a tent with my quilt and talk about the colors that shine through the light in the bedroom. Then Erika comes to get her for her bedtime and she thinks she is big to turn my light off and shut the door. Well this night she decided, "Wait, you need pillows beside your bed, you might fall off." She proceeds to hunt down extra pillows to place by the side of the bed. The funny part of this is, I had Lance put my mattress on the floor so I could stretch out, Kailee has a daybed and I feel confined in it. So if I really fell off, it wouldn't even hurt, but isn't that the sweetest gesture? She didn't want me to fall off the bed and get hurt. That is priceless to me. She loves to take baths with me too. I know TMI. lol... They have a huge garden tub and she says I need to scratch your back. She puts her baby Aveeno on my back and washes and scratches it for me. Now I don't care who you are, that is the greatest loving care you could hope for. And before you think Kailee is going to sprout angel wings, just let me tell you she is one active, stubborn, strong willed, little stinker. It's constantly, you want to play play doh with me? You want to play paper, scissors and glue with me? You want to go outside with me? You want to go see the puppies with me? You want to go to Walmart with me? You want to play blocks with me? We made a picture collage out of leaves, pine cones, pine needles, some kind of moss and a stick. We were gluing the pine needles by putting glue down and then cutting up the pine needles so they would stick to the glue on the paper and I poked her in the eye with pine needles. Needless to say that was the end of that project. Madelynn wanted me allot more this trip, she would cry for me and beg for food from me. She is a cutie pie too. When I got home Wendy and her family come to see Mawmaw and I. Caetie and Toby got new glasses and they looked really dignified in them. Ben got a new buzz haircut, it was too cute. GG had a new boo boo, that poor child. Silas didn't say too much and then Allie was her typical sarcastic self. She is so pretty too, although it's hard to see the pretty through that 'tude she has . She cracks me up with gawdy ways. You would just have to see her to know what I am talking about. If there is a girlie accessory, she is going to wear them all at once, whether they match or not. I asked her if she thought it was pretty and I don't remember even getting an answer. It's soooo funny. Danny was limping and slow from his gout and surgery. Wendy seemed fine, only to read on Jude 2 before I went to bed that she was on her way to the ER with chest pains. Hello, can they have anymore ailments to come upon them?? IDK...She called me about 2:30 am and it was pluerisy and at least she found out the blood clots are gone. So I hope this helps Wendylynn to have a post about my trip. Oh I forgot, we fed the ducks while there and we had to step over downed phone lines from the tornado to feed them. We also rode around looking at the tornado damage and it was a massive mess. I wanted to take a picture of a pine tree that the tornado twisted like a corkscrew, but we didn't stop long enough. I have never seen anything like it before, it was a cool sight, but sorry no pic.
