Thankful

Thankful this evening ...

A family member missing ... but now is found.

My Mom's youngest brother Don was missing after an evening walk tuesday night with his trusty companion dog Buster. Buster returned home but my Uncle did not. After hours of searching in the pitch black wilderness, a rescue team was called in to continue the search.

We now know, my Uncle Don had lost his footing and slipped down an embankment, fell 60 feet, landed in a wild grove of blackberries which in-tangled him right away and he could not move. 

He is resting now in the hospital, being treated for hyperthermia, dehydration, and pretty bad cuts from the fall. 

Our entire family is rejoicing that he was found!

We would appreciate continued prayers for him ... they are running more tests and are in the process of stabilizing him ... he is currently in ICU and will be hospitalized for several days. 

We love you Uncle Don!

Dodger Stadium

 

Harvest Crusades are coming to LA!  

Many of you know my husband works for our church and summer is a very busy time filled with details of the Harvest Crusades.

Volunteers, staff and my husband arrived Wednesday at the Dodger Stadium and began building the stage...working all night until the sun comes up the stadium transformed with all the details of the stage being completed. 

The photo below I took less than two weeks ago at the Angel Stadium ~ Harvest Crusade. My husband and son standing in front of the stage, starbucks in hand, smiling after a goodnight sleep :)

                                   

If you live in Southern California please join us in LA this weekend, Sept 8-9.  

A message of HOPE from our Pastor Greg Laurie ~~~ this will truly be a life changing weekend!

A bouquet of newly sharpened pencils

School started on Monday for my two college kiddos! 

I did a little shopping at the 99 cent store to buy a few school supplies... 

 

 

A fun and quick DIY;

I wrapped ribbon around paper and added pencils as a bouquet...Tucked a twenty dollar bill under the pencils.  

A new chapter has begun in our lives now that our youngest has begun her college journey this week and our oldest is returning for his third year of college... You are never to old for a little gift of school supplies!

Sometimes the simplest gift ideas can mean the most no matter what the age.

I am sure the 20.00 bill will be gone tomorrow! haha

(You've Got Mail) quote was on my mind;

"Don't you love New York in the Fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a newly sharpened bouquet of pencils if I knew your address." 

                          
 

I wish we were in cooler Fall feeling weather~~~not yet in southern California!

Hope to watch (You've got Mail) sometime this week and dream of Fall :)

Have a blessed week~~~back to school and stay cool!
