The Big Little Brother and My Little Girl...

When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.
~~~~~Joyce Brothers


Early this morning, the Big little brother; Jamie, left on his annual mission trip to Guatemala. Over the last several years, he and other members of his church (Plum Creek Christian) as well as members of sister churches, have traveled to other countries to help those who don't have resources like we do. Last year they built a school, or part of one. This year their goal is to build a parsonage. They'll return next year to complete the remainder of the school.

He is currently in transit from Atlanta. Or was earlier when I received a text from Jennifer.

I know with everything that's going on in everyone's life, if we could remember to keep Jaime and the church building team in our prayers, it would be greatly appreciated. As soon as I find the webpage like they had last year, I'll post it here. Hmmm, maybe Jenn can do that.

Oh, and if you will...include Momma in those prayers. Yesterday, as she was returning to her car after stopping to grab a few cheese coney's for her baby, she took a fall. Landed on her face with scrapes and bruises on her elbows and knees. After dropping off the coney's to Jamie, she dropped in at my house. With her being so unsteady and nauseous, I wouldn't let her leave. She did spend the night here, and I'll follow her home here in a bit. Momma is very lucky to not to have broken any bones.


Also as most of you know, Sissy Lynn is another one of the family who will be traveling with her church for a mission trip. Next month, she will be leaving Cincinnati on her trek to Mamelodi, South Africa. She has done an amazing job of raising the money for this trip. It certainly wasn't cheap. For those of you who have donated to her fund...Thank you!! I wish that I had the bottomless purse to pay for her, but 'tis not to be. Just the other day, she posted on her facebook page that she only had another 250$ to complete the final tally. She has started a new blog as a diary for this journey. You can find it here. Again, those prayers for her and Crossroads Go Mamelodi 10 would be greatly appreciated.


Speaking of prayers, y'all please keep Kathi and Kristopher in your thoughts as Kris works on returning to the person we know him to be and love. 'Nuff said.


With much love, hugs and kisses from my house to yours...
