Last week my friend Bonnye lost her fight with cancer. We buried her on Sat. She lived almost exactly 2 months after her diagnosis. The Lexington cemetary was covered with a blanket of snow. It was beautiful. She lived just long enough to see her youngest son get married. I feel for her husband Eddie. He will be lost without her. She was a such a sweetheart that it doesn't seem fair that God would choose to take her. Especially, when there are such mean and cold hearted people still wandering around this earth. But it is not for me to question God. I believe he takes us at the point in our life when we can be the most effective for him. She was an awesome lady and I feel privileged to have known her. At least now I know she is out of pain and resting in the arms of Jesus. You can't get any better than that.
My life is going good. Things are beginning to happen that are steering me in the direction I feel I need to go to fulfill my calling in life. I don't really have time to elaborate now. But lots of good things are happening.
I plan to go visit my son in Colorado the day after Christmas. Michael will finally get to meet him. My son has rented a cabin there and we are joining him with some of his girlfriends family and a couple of his friends. Should be an interested few days. Hope all is well in your world. I will write more later. Gotta go for now. Love you all. Marty

Sorry to hear about your friend. You are correct in saying that she is in no more pain and is resting in the arms of Jesus. My prayers go out to her family. It will be very difficult at this time of the year.

It should be beautiful there at this time of year. be careful, you might get snowed in though..LOL..

ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you. Hope you have a great trip to Haiti. I think it is awesome that you have taken this leap of faith to serve God. I will definitely keep you in my prayers.
It is nice to know that someone out there is reading my stuff. I have been trying to update it regularly.
I am glad you like the pictures. I so enjoy taking them. I got out the camera last night and took pictures of my christmas tree. I will have to post some of them on here. I got some cool shots playing with the zoom lens. You can also see my pictures on my facebook page. I can post a lot more on there.
Speaking of that, think I will finish this and get bundled up and get some pictures of the snow. We got about 5 or inches last night. Hard to tell the way the wind is blowing. Have a great day and may God bless your leap of faith. Marty
