STRANDED IN FLORIDA!!!!!! :)

Hey All,
There are many, many who would say....."yippeee!!!!!"
If I didn't have so many people at home that I love and miss I would probably be saying the same thing.
However,as my mom reminds me, I'm blessed to have this time with my hubby. Someone who loves me dearly and just reminded me this trip that, " I can't be spoiled enough!" How many women would love to hear that. I am blessed and although I miss everyone, including the woman who gives me such good advice, I am greatful that we have this time together.
We got up early this morning and Victor's flight was already cancelled. I was to leave at a later time.(free ticket) It was our decision that I stay here rather than try and come and possibly get stuck in an airport. Everything happens for a reason. So with that thinking in mind, I will enjoy my stay and thank God that I have a wonderful family and home to return to.
Enjoy the "white stuff" as my dad fondly referred to it, and I hope I can see a snowman or two when I get in. Even better, build one with the kids.
Love to all and keep warm and safe,
Mamo

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
