Royal Wedding

Well My Little Miss,

 The royal wedding took place yesterday. Unfortunately a chaotic flurry of twisters devastated an area in Alabama, we all hold dear hours earlier.  I was in Las Vegas, glued to the TV getting up dates on each event.  As I watched the pomp and circumstance of the royal wedding, amidst beautiful flags I dream of
you.  I imagine myself with your mom and dad strolling you down those same streets. All the beauty and
grandeur cannot begin to capture the joy and happiness that will be ours when you arrive.  The contrast of
the two scenes gives me hope as well.  How can there be such suffering in one area and a beautiful celebration half way around the world?  One thing I do know, God reigns Supreme!                                  

" Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of you faith produces perseverance, Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4 NIV                                                                                                                                                
                                                                              I love you forever and always!

To Our Little Girl,

This is a message to our girl, our coming attraction this summer; you have redefined the word anticipation,for all of us. I will feebly try here to introduce you first hand to "us" the family who anxiously awaits your arrival. I guess we should begin at the beginning...or where we come in.

I was so excited when I learned that once again we would all be present around our dining table in Tennessee for Thanksgiving; I did not even let my heart go there...but once again God provides! Present at the table was your Great Grandmother, Mamau, my mother, your grandfathers, Fred and Rob, grandmothers Kathie and of course me, and your Aunt Mary Beth, and Uncle Ryan, your fathers siblings. Your Daddy was asked to say the prayer, in his sweet prayer, he thanked God for you.....needless to say we were all speechless for a moment. These moments rarely happen in our family. This moment changed our lives forever!

I must say first and foremost that out of all the hopes and dreams I have for you....the ultimate is your relationship with Jesus. That no matter how life thrills or disappoints you that your feet will always carry you to His arms and you will follow His steps, in the way you direct your life. I pray when you
do fall, and regain your footing that your eyes will always be directed to Him and His direction for your life.
