Dear Fellow Christians,
Please pray for my Son, Jarrett who is now in Iraq as of
March 2. He is not allowed to tell us where he is but that
doesn't matter for I know that prayer and God will reach
him.
My family is strongly held together through our faith in the
Lord, therefore I am not afraid and I sincerely hope that
our boy feels the same.
As you pray for a protective hedge around this young man,
please pray for his salvation and faith in the Lord. And
please pray for the others in his unit.
Imagine a young man full of wit, charm and a loving, giving
spirit. Without bias you may well be describing our Son.
Never one to brag, boast or take credit, this too is he to a
tee. My Son.
Thank you and may God continue to bless this website to
reach millions and to go where we cannot...
Here is a little recall about my children...
Picture Box
I look at the picture of the children and I see
Crystal
as a mini mother and sister watching over her little
brother, Jarrett, he no more than 4 and she just under 9 and
I think where have the years gone. Little brown-eyed fawns
don't creep about the door anymore clamoring for hugs,
kisses and something sweet to eat.
The heart wants its youth and those forget-me-nots of
yesterdays gone by. Remember the dandelions you left on my
doorknob so that when I opened it I would see the pretty
yellow flowers? I had to smile at that and also on the day
that you stood outside that same door crying because I had
not said goodbye and given you the kiss and hug you needed
before boarding the bus. I ache for that day to return
again so I could sweep you up into my arms once more and
smother you with kisses and tell you just how much I love
you ...I just can't hold you anymore...my arms won't reach
around your broad shoulders but last night when you called
from Kuwait, my "I love you" wrapped around you a thousand
times until it made a cocoon that only a mothers love will
weave and it held you tight...My son, you are in my thoughts
and prayers always and as I wrap you up in a cocoon of love
I pray to our Father for your protection and safe return
home.
Daughter, the apple of my eye, mini me, mini girl with pig
tails that echoed Pippi Long Stocking, little one that
watched me all the time and listened to me very well.
Always tenderly knowing, caring, showing us all of her
strengths and some flaws but always, always sparkling bright
shiny like the stellar star that you are, mystery, treasure,
lure, sure, honest, true to us, precious best part of me
that got out and formed a better part called daughter that
you are!
Children grow up much too fast now...all the days that they
are little should be cherished, held on to just a little
longer, more pictures taken, memories preserved so that we
never forget even one moment of wonderful and splendid
beauty wrapped up in these little packages that are gifts
from the Good One above.
