Jesus loved his mom and wanted to make sure that she would be taken care of before he died.

I had wrote out a post yesterday but decided that it was not what I wanted to blog about,have you ever changed your mine like that? This post is on my heart today so I hope that you don't mind me telling you a little story. Yesterday my husband and I went to a memorial for a could that past away at out church. Bernie,the wife past away April 15 of last year,the husband Joe, past away April 10,of this year.Bernie was 85 and Joe was 88,they were married for 65 years. They didn't have a memorial for Bernie last year because Joe just had surgery and was recovering. Joe never did recover and went to be with the Lord a year later. This couple was such a mentor to my husband and I,they will be missed enormously. Bernie had host many tea party's  in her time and I was blessed to be able to host one with her, I will always cherish that day. For the last 5 years of Bernie's life  was confined  in a wheel chair because of a stroke, Joe was a devoted husband and took care of her. Joe had broke his hip and had to go be in a rehabilitation hospital,when he was there he had no one to take care of Bernie so he paid for her to have a room at that same rehabilitation center.Bernie had to be on the other side of the center since she was not a patient. She would visit him daily driving down the halls in her wheel chair. It was while she was there that she had another stoke that took her life. Joe was more than ready
to be with his Lord and his wife,they will both be missed. I wanted to plant a rose bush in memory of Bernie, I came across one with the name Elegant Lady, that's the one,that's the rose bush I will plant at our church in memory of this elegant women. She was known for always having just the right jewelry on to match what  outfit she had on. After she had past away Joe ask me if I wanted some of her costume jewelry, her jewelry box was as tall as my dresser. Joe laughed and said he never really realized how much money she spent on jewelry or how many cloths she had.

Dear Lord thank-you for bring this couple into my life, Bernie was a Proverbs women for sure and has taught me many things,and Joe who was a carpenter has fixed a thing or two at our home not to mention hundred's of things at church and at many homes of the people in our church. I will miss them both until the day comes when we meet again.
It's in your name Lord Amen

 About 15 years ago we planted over 50 shrubs and a handful of trees. I had a vision,all I wanted to see out our windows were living walls.  This was not very easy over the years, with different  kinds of weather,and water shortages it was a challenge but now when we look out of every one of our windows all we see is green and all we here are birds, we feel like were somewhere else and not in a neighborhood.I new that I could not just plant all of these shrubs and trees without watering them,or feeding them,because I new they had a purpose a pretty big one at that. I didn't want to risk loosing any of them.I needed to nurture them in order for them to grow just the right way. This is how our Christianity  is, we can't just be baptized and think that over night we will be a mature Christian, it can take years~and years of becoming a mature Christian . We need to nurture our souls, we need to water ,and feed our Christianity.We need to have faith and trust in the Lord.

Acts 14:22
