Today I'd like to share with you my family.

Me and Mr.B. After 10 years of raising my children alone, I met and married Mr.B. in 2005

Many of those ten years were really difficult for my self and the children.

Without extended family to help, nor husband to lean on, the loss of many friends, the lack of funds... 

Those days were hard indeed, but thanks be to God!

My rescuer...for it was the Lord who saw me through

 all those years and lifted me...gave me strength....

pulled me up when so often when I was down...

He moved me forward so I could raise my children to the best of my ability.

Mr. and Mrs.K. They were the wind under my wings in those days.

I and the children would not have "made it" so successfully with out them.

They still pray for us every night.

My God provided me with schooling opportunities, and then a good stable job, later the courage to buy my first and then second home on my own. We never went hungry nor lacked for anything.

Oh, I am so very very thankful!

I am thankful for a strong, fun, loving Christian husband.

I am thankful to the Lord that He has provided me a second chance at love, with someone who really loves me... as the Lord loved the church, this is some one who is committed to marriage.

Oh, I am thankful!

I am thankful that I have a Grace (filled) family :)

I am thankful for my sister, for loving me, and standing by me.
She is someone I can be my self with and have a great time with!I am thankful that she and her hubby took me to Wales with them.

I am thankful for my beautiful children...

I have two sons....
"M". My first born. Such a good hearted guy.
 Strong and handsome too.
"J". my second son happy go lucky kind of guy..
.always puts a smile on every ones face.

I have a beautiful daughter too, "H".

I gave her a nick name..."Shmooy girl" when she was only a baby and it has stuck...
Even her blog bears her nick name...

Eli. is so alert and focuses in on people more than any baby I've ever seen.
 Bylla. my 2ND grandchild...a sweet curly haired girl.
When I walk in the door she will be the first to run to me with a huge smile.Just a little shy, to have her picture taken in her new "french" T-shirt..

Thanx Jamie for sending it. Lu. (below)is so active and so alive with a joy that is deep within his heart.
This little guy loves the Lord so very much.

Prayer and talking about Jesus is part of this 4 year old, every day life.
Oh yes... I am thankful!
I am thankful that my daughter has married a man of God who loves his wife and family.

Yes indeed I am one thankful woman
