A thought about Parents

Last night at our small group Bible Study, we talked about how hard it was to be a good parents, how hard to know the right things to do and teach and how grateful we were for the good parents we had. I want to encourage those of you who have children...You are beginning a stable life for the lives of those you brought into this world. Be prayerful, enjoy the journey and reap the rewards!

Thanks to my Mom and Dad for guiding me, standing beside me (and each other), and for showing me how the future should be lived.
Thanks to Terr's parents for giving me a capable, upstanding, devoted husband, sure of himself and proud of where he came from.

  2. I remember with much fondness the
    trips to Captiva Island between
    Christmas and New Year. I remember
    very much the day this picture of
    Dad and I was made. Nitabelle had
    hired the Captain to come to her
    dock and pick us up and take us
    boating on the ocean. The first time I had ever been in a boat on
    the ocean. She was most interested
    in showing us the ospray nest that
    the government has put up on tall
    poles along the bay. As we cruised
    out of the bay we saw the home
    of Morning Show Weatherman, Willard
    Scott a few docks down from her
    home.She was a gracious hostess and
    a gracious lady. Met Tom at your
    and Terrence's wedding but never
    got to see him again before his
    death.She loved helping me with
    my shells and gave me lots of them.
    Thanks for the memories.
    Mother
