Thanks to all of you who are checking in to see the details regarding Mercy and Odesco's homecoming...we have not heard anything since Wednesday so, we are hoping those details will be coming today!! I promise to post details as soon as they emerge :)
Yesterday was such a gift from the Lord. My Mom will be 70 on December 8th and as a family we wanted to do something to honor and bless her. We wove a web of deception (shame on us!!) so that she was thoroughly surprised. A luncheon was held at a wonderful little restaurant where we had our own room...all of my brothers and their children were able to make it...one brother even flew in from las Vegas with his wife and 2 children!! They arrived fashionably late, so it was a double surprise :) Also present were my "stepfamily" who by God's grace are just like siblings to me...we have a "blended family" that really works...and all of our children just love being together...truly, "The Lord has restored the years that the locust has eaten"...
After the party(which was in my neck of the woods), we all came back to our house ...what fun the kids had playing and what fun we adults had just being together. Looking back, I see once again the amazing wisdom of the Lord...had the children come home last weekend, they would have been just a bit overwhelmed by all of the activity and new faces...at least they'll have close to a month before we host our next family gathering!! I've enclosed few pictures of the day! Bet you'll have a hard time figuring out who is about to turn 7o!!
Thanks for checking in!!
Hope to be updating later today:)
