It’s been awhile…

I’m sorry I haven’t been online for a while.  I am continuing to pray for each one of you and I am reading your blogs. I just haven’t been commenting much. With all the things happening in the world, I am feeling a burden for all of the people who don’t know Jesus. So I have been spending a lot of time praying. Thank you to those who have asked where I’ve been. 

A new reader had asked what kind of a dog Zoey is. She was supposed to be part chihuahua/part poodle to make her hypo allergenic since Piper is allergic to dogs and cats. However, both vets have told us that we were lied to. Go figure. There is no poodle in them at all. Chihuahua and probably Jack Russell terrier are in their gene pool. We love them anyway, and Piper seems to have developed a tolerance for both of them since she’s around them so much. 

Piper did begin middle school last Tuesday. She is growing up way too fast.

Our grandson Caleb began his senior year in Montana! His sister Kyleigh was delivered back to college on Sunday to begin her second year. Where has the time gone?

I needed a project I could carry around with me because life has been so hectic for the past few weeks. I decided on this blanket for my sister Melanie. She recently painted the inside of her entire house in a beautiful blue-gray so I wanted to include that in the colors. Also our mom‘s favorite color was peach so I made some squares of peach.

Here is a closer view of the squares.

Mandy and Brad were working outside one night last week later than usual. It was so hot during the day, they took advantage of the cooler evening hours, but somebody got tired of waiting to go to bed, so she tucked herself in. This is literally how they found her when they came in the house. She is the sweetest little thing.

I’m not sure when I’ll be back to posting again on a regular basis, but please don’t give up on me.

A dear friend posted this song on her blog a couple of days ago. It’s one of my favorite hymns. Thank you Pam.💜 I hope it brings peace to your hearts, and if you don’t know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please stop and consider the price He paid for you. This world is not getting any better, and who knows what will happen in the next days, weeks or months. Won’t you consider the truth of Jesus? 

Love and blessings,

Betsy

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;

He came to love, heal and forgive;

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

… Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

Because I know He holds the future,

And life is worth the living,

Just because He lives!

… How sweet to hold a newborn baby,

And feel the pride and joy he brings;

But greater still the calm assurance:

This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

… Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

Because I know He holds the future,

And life is worth the living,

Just because He lives!

… And then one day, I'll cross the river,

I'll fight life's final war with pain;

And then, as death gives way to victory,

I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

… Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

Because I know He holds the future,

And life is worth the living,

Just because He lives!
