"P*I*N*K S*A*T*U*R*D*A*Y"



BEVERLY, YOU HAVE A GIVING HEART THAT NOT ONLY SHOWS IN YOUR BLOGGING

ON PINK SATURDAY BUT 365 DAYS A YEAR...OFFERING WORDS OF WISDOM

AND INSPIRATION TO SO MANY PEOPLE...BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.


I HAVE ONLY BEEN BLOGGING SINCE JANUARY AND HAVE NOT BEEN A MEMBER OF

PINK SATURDAY VERY LONG BUT I KNOW HOW YOU HAVE WELCOMED ME AND THE

E-MAILS YOU HAVE SENT ME. THEY HAVE MEANT A LOT AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE

ONLY ONE WHO HAS BEEN LOVED BY YOU.




THE BEAUTIFUL PINK HYACINTH


SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW YOU WORK A FULL-TIME JOB....YOU HAVE A FULL-TIME

DEDICATION AND LOVE TO YOUR SWEET MOTHER WHO LIVES WITH YOU AND YOU TAKE CARE

OF AS SHE RECOVERS FROM A BROKEN SHOULDER.


YOU E-MAIL EACH PARTICIPANT OF PINK SATURDAY TO INQUIRE IF THEY WILL

BE PARTICIPATING IN PINK SATURDAY. NO STINKY MR LINKY WHO IS USUALLY IN A

BAD MOOD.








I WISH WE COULD ALL BE TOGETHER FOR ONE VERY BIG BIRTHDAY

CELEBRATION.......AS BIG AS YOU ARE GROWING, BEVERLY, IT MAY BE

POSSIBLE ONE DAY TO HAVE A BIG REUNION.


I PICKED FLOWERS FOR THIS POST. BECAUSE EACH PINK SATURDAY PARTICIPANT

IS AS UNIQUE AS A FLOWER. SOME ARE VERY ROMANTIC AND SOFT....SOME ARE BOLD AND

TRADITIONAL...SOME ARE BRIGHT AND FUNNY, SOME DELICATE BUT STRONG, SOME ELEGANT......BUT

ALL NEEDED TO MAKE A BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET...PINK SATURDAY



I SO LOOK FORWARD TO EACH PINK SATURDAY AND THE LOVELY POSTS.

I HAVE MADE SOME WONDERFUL FRIENDS. IT ONLY MAKES ME

SAD THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO VISIT EACH 160 PLUS BLOGS.




WHEN I GO TO A BLOG I LIKE TO READ AT LEAST TWO PREVIOUS POSTS,

I LIKE TO SEE WHO IS FOLLOWING THEIR BLOG AND THEN MAKE A COMMENT BASED

OUT OF CONSIDERATION...... ON THE TIME THEY SPENT TO POST THEIR

BLOG. TIME IS VALUABLE AND I THINK IT IS WONDERFUL TO SET DOWN AND

LEAVE A POST FOR SOMEONE TO READ. LETTER WRITING IS ALMOST A LOST ART NOW

AND SO I SEE OUR BLOG POSTS AS THE ONLY ART OF COMMUNICATION WE HAVE LEFT.




THE GREEN ENVY, A BI-COLORED CONEFLOWER THAT BLUSHES ALL SUMMER.






HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

A SURPRISE BRIDE SHOWED UP FOR OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY

WELCOME TO OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY. I AM SO VERY GLAD YOU COULD DROP BY FOR A VISIT

TODAY AND I HOPE YOU WILL COME BACK. I SO ENJOY FRIENDS DROPPING BY: OLD AND NEW.

PLEASE STOP BY AND TELL OUR BEAUTIFUL HOSTESS, SUSAN, HELLO AT

http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com

WHILE THERE VISIT ALL THE PARTICIPANTS LISTED FOR OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY. YOU WILL

BE VERY BLESSED.

ON SATURDAY MY DADDY AND I ATTENDED A WEDDING FOR MY COUSIN, HELD AT THE

HOME OF HIS MOTHER...MY AUNT JEAN. AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE DATE ON THE PICTURES

I DID NOT CHANGE THE DATE ON MY CAMERA...I MUST CONFESS...IT WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT...I JUST

COULD NOT GET IT TO CHANGE DATES SO I JUST HIT OKAY SO I COULD TAKE THE PICTURES.

THIS IS MY AUNT JEAN. I COULD SAY 5,000 THINGS ABOUT HER ALL GOOD. SHE HAS BEEN

A WIFE AND HELP MATE TO MY UNCLE BILLY FOR 60 YEARS, AND IS A RETIRED SCHOOL

TEACHER BUT CONTINUES TO TEACH SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR PRE-TEEN GIRLS. MY

UNCLE BILLY IS 80 YEARS OLD AND IS STILL PASTORING A BAPTIST CHURCH. HE HAS

BEEN A PASTOR FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND IS VERY BOLD IN HIS WITNESS FOR CHRIST.

AUNT JEAN UP UNTIL A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE GARDENER

AND CARETAKER OF HER BEAUTIFUL YARD. SHE NOW HAS A GARDENER AND SHE LIMITS HER

GARDENING TO POTS ON THE PATIO. I DID NOT PHOTOGRAPH THE WHOLE YARD IN-

CLUDING HER POOL AS OUR TIME WAS LIMITED WITH THE WEDDING TO BEGIN AT 7:00 PM.

I ALWAYS TOLD AUNT JEAN HER YARD AND PATIO NEEDED TO BE IN BETTER HOMES AND

GARDENS.

THIS BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL IS MADE TO BE A POT SETTER...SHE IS SO VERY PRETTY

I LOVED THIS PICTURE BECAUSE OF THE RUSTIC TEXTURE OF THE BARN AND I DEARLY LOVED

THE PATINA OF THE ROOSTER AND HEN.....SHE SAID THEY NEEDED TO BE PAINTED....I SAID

NO...IT WOULD RUIN THEIR PATINA. I WOULD LOVE TO FIND A LITTLE COUPLE JUST LIKE THEM.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A LITTLE PIGLET IN A HAMMOCK BUT HE SURE WAS A CUTIE.

SHE HAS VERY BEAUTIFUL ROSES OF EVERY COLOR...SO BEAUTIFUL

THIS WAS A BEAUTIFUL BIRD NEST WE FOUND LAYING IN HER YARD THAT HAD BEEN

BLOWN OUT OF THE TREE....ALL THE SWEET FEATHERS...IT WAS VERY LONG...SHE TOLD ME

WHAT KIND IT WAS.....AN ORIOLE I THINK

THIS IS ONE OF 2 PATIOS AND SHE JUST PURCHASED THIS BEAUTIFUL LAWN FURNITURE AND

IT IS SO VERY PRETTY

WOW....A BRIDE IN THE YARD....WE SNUCK HER OUT THE FRONT DOOR SO WE COULD TAKE

PICTURES WITHOUT MY COUSIN SEEING HIS BRIDE IN HER GOWN. SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL

GIRL FROM THE PHILIPPINES.

CONGRATULATIONS BEAUTIFUL ELLEN AND MY HANDSOME COUSIN LARRY. MAY YOU ALWAYS

BE SURROUNDED BY THE LOVE OF THE LORD AND EACH OTHER.

OUR TIME HAS COME TO AN END FOR TODAY. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR STOPPING BY.

JENNIFER I AM PRAYING FOR YOU AS YOU AWAIT YOUR LAB RESULTS.

BLESSINGS AND SMILES

HUGS

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY AND I WON SOME B*E*A*U*T*I*F*U*L EAR BOBS

H...A...P...P...Y M...E...M...O...R...I...A...L D...A...Y

ON SATURDAY I WENT TO DUNCAN, OKLAHOMA WITH MY DADDY, FOR MY COUSIN'S WEDDING.

THIS IS A PICTURE OF MY DADDY AT HIS MOTHER'S GRAVE...MY SWEET, BEAUTIFUL GRANDMA

ZADA. AS WE WERE DRIVING IT LOOKED LIKE RAIN. DADDY SAID, "NO IT WILL NOT RAIN."

AS WE PULLED INTO THE DRIVE WAY OF THE CEMETERY IT BEGAN TO RAIN. I JUST

PRAYED, "LORD, PLEASE LET THE RAIN STOP AND LET DADDY HAVE THIS MEMORIAL TIME WITH HIS

MOTHER. THANK YOU LORD. 4 HOURS IS A LONG TIME TO DRIVE AND NOT BE ABLE TO PLACE

FLOWERS ON YOUR MOTHERS' GRAVE." IT STOPPED RAINING WITH JUST AN OCCASIONAL

SPRINKLE UNTIL WE WALKED BACK TO DADDY'S PICK-UP...AND THEN IT CAME A DOWN POUR.

GOD IS SO VERY GOOD TO ANSWER OUR SIMPLE REQUESTS, AND I THANK HIM FOR IT.

I CANNOT THINK OF A MORE... HAUNTING...SPIRITUAL...EMOTIONAL...HUMBLE...PRAYERFUL

DEFINITION OF MEMORIAL DAY THAN TO LOOK OUT AND SEE A VAST SEA OF WHITE TOMBSTONES

STANDING AS VALIANT AS THE PRECIOUS SHELL OF THE PERSON WHO GAVE HIS BLOOD

FOR THE RED, WHITE, AND BLUE. I CRY FOR THEIR BRAVERY, HOPING MY TEARS WILL

FIND THEIR WAY AS A HEALING BALM TO THE FAMILIES WHO HAVE SUCH A VOID IN

THEIR LIVES. I WONDER IF THEY HAD TIME TO WHISPER "I LOVE YOU" TO THEIR

FAMILIES AS THE GENTLE BREEZE OF HEAVEN CARRIED THEM HOME. I PRAY THEY KNEW

JESUS AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOR. DID THEY CRY OUT FOR THEIR MOTHER EVEN

THOUGH THEY WERE CLASSIFIED AS SOLDIERS.




SO TODAY WE REMEMBER OUR LOVED ONES. WE REMEMBER HOW THEY MADE US

LAUGH. WE REMEMBER HOW THEY WERE AS BUT A BABY...AS A CHILD...NOT EVEN THE

TERRIBLE TWO'S COULD PREPARE ONE FOR THE TEENAGE YEARS. WE REMEMBER

WHAT PIE OR CAKE THEY LIKED AND BAKE IT IN THEIR HONOR. WE PICK OUT THEIR

FAVORITE FLOWERS, A LITTLE TRINKET. AS DADDY AND I WALKED THROUGH THE

CEMETERY, I SAW DIFFERENT LITTLE TOKENS THEIR LOVED ONES HAD LEFT FOR THEM ON

THIS MEMORIAL DAY. ONE PERSON HAD LEFT DIFFERENT SHAPED ROCKS ACROSS THE

TOP OF THE TOMBSTONE....BEING A ROCK LOVER MYSELF I DID NOT FIND THIS UNUSUAL..

I FIGURED THIS SWEET SOUL WAS PROBABLY A ROCK COLLECTOR. THERE WERE WIND

CHIMES...LITTLE ANGELS...BIG ANGELS...A LITTLE TRACTOR....SO MUCH LOVE WAS

SHOWN AND REMEMBERED THIS MEMORIAL DAY.





NOT LONG AGO I WAS THE WINNER OF VINTAGE GLASS TURQUOISE EARRINGS AT OLDE

DAME PENNIWIGS BLOG. NOW LET ME SAY THIS.....SHE IS A VERY HUMBLE PERSON

WHO HAS A HUGE HEART. MOST OF YOU KNOW HER FOR THE FREE GRAPHICS SHE SO

READILY GIVES. SHE DOES NOT WANT ANY KUDOS AND BECAUSE OF THAT I AM GOING TO GIVE

HER SOME PRETTY BIG KUDOS.....YOU ARE WONDERFUL OLDE DAME PENNIWIG.

YOU CANNOT TELL BY MY PICTURES BUT THE COLOR OF THE EARRINGS ARE VERY

VIBRANT. THEY ARE SIMPLE ELEGANCE AND PACKAGED SO BEAUTIFULLY.

WHAT HAPPENED IS MY HUSBAND AND I WAS TAKING PICTURES ONE AT A TIME AS I

OPENED THE PACKAGE.....WHEN WE WENT TO DOWNLOAD THE PICTURES, THEY WERE GONE....

I WAS QUITE EXCITED AND WONDERED HOW THE PICTURES COULD BE GONE......WHEN

MY HUSBAND DOWNLOADED THE DISC AT WALGREEN'S TO HAVE SOME PICTURES MADE

HE LEFT THE 35.00 DISC WITH ALL OUR PICTURES IN THE MACHINE... AT WALGREEN'S...

HE WAS MAD...I WAS SAD...AND SO WE TRIED TO REDO THE PICTURES BUT WE COULD

NOT PACKAGE IT LIKE SHE HAD DONE....IT CAME IN A BEAUTIFUL PINK TIN AND

WHEN YOU OPENED IT UP THERE WAS A VINTAGE FLOWER WITH A RHINESTONE IN THE

CENTER....AND THE EARRINGS AND SURPRISES WERE EACH WRAPPED IN MAROON TISSUE

PAPER LIKE LITTLE CANDIES. SHE HAD SENT NOT ONLY MY EARRINGS I HAD

WON BUT A ELEGANT PAIR OF BEAUTIFUL EARRINGS FOR AMY AND LEILA. PLEASE VISIT

HER GRAPHIC SITE AND CLICK ON FOR HER EARRINGS...THE QUALITY FAR EXCEEDS THE

MINIMAL PRICE SHE CHARGES. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED I WILL TELL YOU AND I

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANY ONE TO YOU THAT WAS NOT QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP.

I KNOW DEAR LADY PENNIWIG YOU DON'T WANT ME TO TOOT ME HORN BOUT YA BUT YE

DESERVE IT ME LADY...LOL








MEMORIAL DAY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY WHEN I WAS GROWING UP STARTED THE TWO WEEK

VACATION WE ALWAYS SPENT AT EAGLE ROCK, MISSOURI CAMPING OUT AND FISHING.

IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES AFTER DADDY, OUR DRILL SARGENT SCREAMED OUT ORDERS

FOR PLACEMENT OF TENT STAKES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALREADY DONE YESTERDAY...

YOU KNOW THE TYPE. ONCE CAMP WAS ESTABLISHED HE BECAME A FRIENDLY SARGENT.






THIS IS MY BELOVED AMY WEARING HER BEAUTIFUL EARRINGS. OLDE DAME PENNIWIG

ALSO SENT A BEAUTIFUL CRYSTAL PHONE FOB ANGEL. AMY ATTACHED IT TO HER BLACKBERRY.

SHE LOVED THE ANGEL. LEILA AND AMY BOTH LOVED...LOVED...THE EARRINGS. THANK YOU

SO VERY MUCH. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A PICTURE OF LEILA IN HER EARRINGS.


PLEASE REMEMBER OLDE DAME PENNIWIG AND HER SON AS THEY AWAIT RESULTS OF TESTS

DONE ON HER SON. REMEMBER TERRY AS SHE AWAITS THE RESULTS TO FIND OUT IF SHE

HAS LUPUS...DEAR LORD WE PRAY NOT. REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING...PATRICIA, JERRY,

DONNA, JEAN, BILLY, ELLEN, LARRY, SUZANNE, JAY, ROY AND ELIZABETH, DORIS'S COUSIN,

IRENE, SHERRY, TONY, JESSE, KATHY AT MIMI'S GARDEN, NOAH, JAMIE, THOR, KRISTEN, RON,

JOANNA'S HUSBAND, GLORIA, WES AND CHRIS AND MIKE AND MO'S SON WHO ARE POLICE

OFFICERS...SUCH YOUNG MEN PUT EVERY DAY IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.


UPDATE ON AMY: I AM GIVING HER A NEUPOGEN INJECTION FOR LOW COUNTS EVERY OTHER

DAY UNTIL WEDNESDAY. THIS IS GOD'S LITTLE MIRACLE: MY MOTHER HAD TO WORK AND

COULD NOT GO WITH DADDY TO THE WEDDING. HE ASK ME TO GO WITH HIM...I COULD NOT TELL

HIM AN ANSWER UNTIL AMY HAD LAB ON FRIDAY. ON FRIDAY THE NURSE GAVE AMY A

NEUPOGEN SHOT.....AND SAID, "DR. DEXEUS WANTS YOU TO JUST HAVE A NEUPOGEN SHOT ON

SUNDAY AND TUESDAY." THAT IS THE MIRACLE...WE HAVE NEVER GIVEN HER A NEUPOGEN

SHOT EVERY OTHER DAY BUT THAT MEANT I COULD GO WITH DADDY. WE LEFT EARLY SATURDAY

AND CAME HOME SUNDAY WITH PLENTY OF TIME FOR ME TO GIVE HER THE NEUPOGEN SHOT.

GOD IS SO GOOD. I HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME VISITING WITH FAMILY I HAVE NOT SEEN

IN YEARS.

SHE WILL RECEIVE ERBITUX ON WEDNESDAY IF HER COUNTS ARE UP.

LEILA AND AMY ARE SPENDING EVERY WAKENING HOUR WITH EACH OTHER. THE TWO OF THEM

ARE BUSY...BUSY...BUSY

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AS AMY HAS SURGERY JUNE 10, 2009...I WILL KNOW MORE

AFTER OUR VISIT WITH DR. MEDINA ON JUNE 8TH.

EACH ONE OF YOU THAT ARE FAITHFUL TO LEAVE COMMENTS ARE SUCH A BLESSING TO ME.

I AM SENDING PRAYERS AND SUNSHINE YOUR WAY. WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER.

EVERY TIME A NEW PERSON JOINS AS A FOLLOWER, IT JUST MAKES MY DAY.

HUGS AND GIGGLES

PINK SATURDAY

IT IS ONCE AGAIN THAT SPECIAL TIME OF THE WEEK WHERE ANGELS

OF PINK GATHER AT BEVERLY'S... http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com

AND CREATE A BEAUTIFUL COLLAGE OF EVERY SHADE OF PINK YOU

COULD EVER HOPE TO FIND, ALL IN ABOUT 160 PLUS BLOGS.

PLEASE STOP BY AND TELL BEVERLY, OUR HOSTESS HELLO AND

SPEND SOME TIME VISITING THOSE BLOGS WHO LOVE THE COLOR

"P***I***N***K"

WHILE VISITING ALL THE BEAUTIFUL BLOGS OF PINK, PLEASE THINK

ABOUT JOINING THIS FUN GROUP OF WOMEN.

THIS IS MY AUNT'S PINK STAIN GLASS...SHE DESIGNED AND THEN

HIRED A STAIN GLASS ARTIST TO MAKE IT. IT IS HUGE: 4' X 4'.

IT HANGS ON HER HUGE WHITE FIREPLACE. THE FIREPLACE WHEN

SHE BOUGHT THE HOUSE WAS BRICK COLORED. SHE HAD IT PAINTED A

WHITE SEMI-GLOSS AND WHITE CARPETING INSTALLED...NO WAY

COULD MY HUSBAND, MY PETS, AND I LIVE IN A HOUSE WITH

WHITE CARPET BUT IT DOES MAKE FOR A BEAUTIFUL HOME.

IF I COULD INHERIT ONE THING FROM HER, IT WOULD BE THIS

STAIN GLASS. YOU CANNOT IMAGINE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS IN

PERSON. IT IS HUNG FROM VERY STRONG CHAINS ATTACHED TO

BOLTS IN THE FIREPLACE. IT IS A VERY HEAVY PIECE.

SO VERY BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE IT. I LOVE STAINED GLASS. I HAVE SEVERAL

PIECES...MY FAVORITE HANGS IN MY PICTURE WINDOW OF JOHN THE BAPTIST

BAPTIZING JESUS....IT IS ALL DONE IN BLUES.

THIS IS ONE OF MY SWEET TEA POTS. THE PINK IS MORE IN THE MAUVE

FAMILY BUT SHE IS STILL PINK. SHE WANTED TO TRY AND IMPRESS

DANA'S STONE RABBIT.

I WANTED YOU TO SEE THIS ADORABLE POST CARD THE CAT CLINIC

SENT OUT REMINDING ANDY TO TELL HIS PARENTS IT WAS TIME FOR

RABIES BOOSTER. IT HAS THE SOFTEST PINK BACKGROUND AND SAYS:

SOME DAYS I COMMAND THE

UNIVERSE, AND SOME DAYS

I GIVE IT THE DAY OFF.

ANY ONE THAT HAS A CAT KNOWS THIS IS TRUE.

BUT I WILL SAY THIS.....THERE WOULD BE NO...NO...FERAL CATS IF

OWNERS ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CATS...OR DOGS.

PLEASE HAVE YOUR CAT, DOG SPAYED OR NEUTERED. MY CATS AND DOG

ARE HOUSE PETS BUT ALL THREE HAVE BEEN NEUTERED.

THIS IS A NEW PICTURE OF AMY AND LEILA TAKEN ON MY FRONT PORCH

TUESDAY. LEILA HAS PINK CHECKS IN HER SKIRT AND TOP. HER THONGS ARE

PINK. AMY HAS A RED BELT AND RED THONGS. I WENT SHOPPING WITH

THEM AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN WATCHING THEM GIGGLE. THEY HAD

SPENT THE LAST 4 DAYS TOGETHER. THEY HAVE ON THEIR BEAUTIFUL

NEW, NATURAL HAIR WIGS. THE WIGS ARE SO SOFT.

WE WENT TO DR. MEDINA ON MONDAY. WE LEFT THERE WITH A HEAVY

HEART. THEY FELT THAT AMY'S MASS IN HER NECK WAS POSSIBLY

ATTACHED TO THE JAW BONE AND THAT WOULD MEAN A VERY SERIOUS,

SURGERY WITH RECONSTRUCTION AND A TEMPORARY TRACH AND FEEDING

TUBE BUT THE MORE THEY TALKED, THE WORSE IT BECAME AS THE CHEMO

IS ONLY SLOWING DOWN THE CANCER...BUT WHILE WAITING FOR HER

BLOOD COUNTS TO BUILD BACK UP THE TUMOR BEGINS TO GROW

AGAIN. TO REMOVE THE JAW BONE IS QUITE SERIOUS TO GO THROUGH

AND DURING THE SURGERY THEY KEEP TESTING MARGINS AND IF IT

SHOWS CANCER THEY REMOVE MORE. AMY IS ONLY WILLING

TO HAVE SO MUCH REMOVED, AS WOULD I, BEING IN THAT SITUATION,

AND IF SHE IS NOT WILLING TO HAVE EVERYTHING NEEDED REMOVED, THEN

THEY WON'T PUT HER THROUGH THE PAIN OF REMOVING THE LOWER JAW AND

NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE ALL THE CANCER AS IT WOULD GROW BACK.

THEY ONLY GAVE US A 20% CHANCE A YEAR AGO IF SHE HAD RADICAL

SURGERY, DID CHEMO, AND RADIATION. WE LOVE THE

LORD ENOUGH TO RATHER BE WITH HIM THAN LIVE A LIFE OF NO

QUALITY BY TAKING A BODY PART A PIECE AT A TIME. THEY TOLD

US A YEAR AGO SHE WOULD ONLY LIVE 2 MONTHS....THEY DON'T KNOW

BUT GOD DOES. I HAVE WATCHED AMY SUFFER WITH CHEMO AND

RADIATION UNTIL I HAD TO LEAVE THE ROOM AND CRY AND CRY.

I PUT MY HEAD IN THE PILLOW UNTIL I THOUGHT I WOULD SMOTHER

TO BLOCK OUT MY MOANS OF AGONY....SHE JUST MARCHED ON

NEVER ONCE ASKING WHY. JUST A SOLDIER DOING EVERYTHING BUT

HAVING A RADICAL SURGERY THAT WOULD LEAVE HER UNABLE TO EVER

TALK OR EAT AGAIN. SHE WOULD BREATHE THROUGH A

TRACH AND BE GIVEN FOOD THROUGH A FEEDING TUBE IN HER STOMACH.

HER AND LEILA BOTH STARTED CHEMO ON WEDNESDAY THIS WEEK.

LEILA GOES TO THE CITY AND AMY RECEIVES CHEMO IN OUR TOWN.

I TELL YOU PLEASE HUG YOUR LOVED ONE REAL TIGHT. TODAY

IS ALL WE HAVE. BATHE IN THEIR LAUGHTER, AND TATTOO THEIR

SMILE IN YOUR MIND. AND THANK GOD FOR THEM DAILY, AND

ESPECIALLY FOR THEIR HEALTH.

WAYMON TISDALE WAS A GREAT BASKET BALL PLAYER FROM

OKLAHOMA. I AM GOING TO DO A SPECIAL ON HIM TOMORROW.

44 YEARS OLD WAS GIVER PERMISSION TO GO HOME TO OUR

FATHER IN HEAVEN TODAY. JUST 2 DAYS AGO HE WAS IN OKC TO HAVE HIS

LEG PROSTHESIS REFIT. HE HAD LOST HIS LEG ABOVE THE KNEE TO

BONE CANCER. HE WAS A BEAUTIFUL SOUL INSIDE AND OUT

AND OKLAHOMANS ARE MOURNING HIS DEATH AND PRAYING

FOR HIS FAMILY.



"I WILL GIVE YOU BACK YOUR HEALTH AND HEAL THY WOUNDS,"

SAITH THE LORD.

~JEREMIAH 30:17



THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR SPENDING A PART OF YOUR DAY WITH ME.

I AM PRAYING FOR EACH ONE OF YOU AND YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS. NEVER,

EVER GIVE UP ON GOD, OR THE POWER OF PRAYER.

BLESSINGS

HUGS
