Crazy weather! I'm on Oahu, Michelle; we had amazing lightening displays last night, and more this morning. How about those waterspouts! Rain over the Koolaus right now moving over to townside, guess it's not over yet..
Michelle, you must be so excited about your son coming back! Second half of deployment goes more quickly :) I'll be watching for news and pictures when homecoming day arrives.
Beautiful prayer Marcy... thank you. And thanks for sharing the pictures of your Airman hard at work. I hope you'll be making that trip to Hawaii next year, and hope to meet you!
Here is a poem I found one time that is very beautiful
- Friday Mom's Prayer for her Son I Give To You, My Son- I held him as an infant; I hugged him as a boy and through the years he has become my greatest pride and joy. I love him more than I can say, his life more precious than my own, but gone are the whims and notions of the little boy that I had known. For the years have passed so quickly since the time it all began and now he stands before me with the conviction of a man. He wants to serve his country, he states aloud with pride as I try to sort out the emotions that I'm feeling deep inside... a union of the uncertain fear, which I cannot control and the allegiance which lies deep within my patriotic soul. I trust that my years of guidance will serve as a strong foundation as he performs the duties requested from his beloved nation. God please guide him as he travels to the places our soldiers have bled and walk with him through pathways where those heroes' feet have tread. Oh Sweet Land of Liberty, humbly I give to you, my son praying you'll return him safely home when his work for you is done.
I saw that on the Today show this morning. I hope all is well with the storms.
Yeah, our white bunny has a nice house my hubby built for him. He even put siding on it to match the house, LOL. His name is snowball and he is funny because when I take Mia out to the bus at around 8 am he expects me to come out and see him. He races around the cage like a crazy rabbit until I get there. He is funny and shedding really bad right now. Some people keep them in their house and that would be crazy because unless you have specific room for them, they would destroy your house by chewing on things.
Great prayer Michelle. It is a great day that he has been killed. God Bless those that had to go and do it too. Love the Troops.
Well we were taking care of a wild bunny and it was doing very well for a couple of days and now it died today. I felt so bad for it. We tried everything. So when Mia gets home we will have a little funeral for it. I put it in a zip lock box, it was the smallest I could find for it. Mia is going to be so heart broken when she comes home but I told her it was not doing well this morning and that it may not be alive when she gets home. We do have a bunny and have had it for over a year now. He is white and a great little bunny. Hubby found this one in the yard on Thursday evening weed eating and rescued it. I have cried too and feel bad for Mia. We will put under the oak tree with our other bunny that died too. When we got the white one we had gotten 2 of them and the other one got a parasite and died 2 weeks after we got it. Bad luck with bunnies.
