family

Greetings, I don't write very often, we did have a really great time with Gregg, Alicia, Mariah, John, Jacqui, and Tessa.  Dad, Julie and I drove there yesterday and really enjoyed the day.  Thank you each of you for making it a special day.

This morning, we got a call from Ronna just as we were about ready to leave for church.  She is living in an apartment, I think she moved there some time in October.  Her address is: 15 Plante Circle   Chicopee, Massachusetts  01013  she said Sun's cell phone number was 413-306-7906  I don't know what that meant. This is a rundown of her family.  Samantha is with her, but she lost custody of her son, she needs to have a job and a place to live to get him back.  Steven is working on getting his GED, she said he is doing bette, he has to check in twice a week with authorities., Brian is 14 he doesn't like school and they have a hard time keeping him there.  Brandon is 8 and Jennifer is 5, their school is near by.  Angeline is 2 she was born October 7, 2005, and on April 19,2007  she had another baby, Rebecca.  I told her that I had written to her but the letter came back so I don't really know what is happening, this is the first time we have heard from her since a year ago at Thanksgiving. 
To each of you a great day,  Merry Christmas, 

I have been reading a verse that is significant and I would like to share it with you

Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Hear O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.  These commandmensts that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.  Impress them on your children.  Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.

You might wonder why would I encourage you to read that verse.  Whereever you are today in your thinking about God. and I realize that I think differently today than I did 10-20 years ago.  But think about God, tell your loved ones what you  know about God.  He will honor that.  You will grow, your family will grow.  God is faithful Blessings to you tonight. Mom/Grandma.
