There are 5.4 million people who have Alzheimer's. It cost 183 billion dollars in annual costs. Alz's is the 6th leading cause of death.
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US
1 John 4: 9-10

Great Book

I just finished the wonderful book my blogger friend Carol sent me . It is great! You have to get one. Getting Off The Niceness Treadmill is  an inspiration in how she goes from being taken advantage for all her loving Christian kindness  to still  being a loving caring Christian in all things without letting the world run over her. Plus a look into her life and times as a child with her family.I too miss sitting on my front porch with my family. When my son was little many a days mom and I would sit on the porch and watch the kids play basketball or skate board. Our neighborhood used to be full of children . We had friends, cousins, grand kids, nieces and nephews everywhere. So the front porch was busy in the summer time. In Carol's book she longs for those days back on the front porch with the family. As I do.
 Carol is a great lady , author and blogger. Check her out . Just click on the title of my post and start enjoying the newkidontheblog.

    Thanks so much, my special blogging friend Karen! Note on page 100 of my book the tribute to my father that was played at his funeral.

    Hugs,
    Carol

    I couldn't agree with you more.... I read and enjoyed Carol's book so much!

    The friend's I've met through blogging is absolutely priceless...... I really and truly don't know how I could go through all of the trials and tribulations on this journey, without my wonderful/loyal/faithful friends!
