this was a great story, Kristina….I grew up on a farm and would visit relatives who were farmers, too….I have wonderful memories of LIFE on the farm….all kinds of life. I love the simpler times. I especially liked this phrase: ‘actions speak volumes and words only speak chapters’

Thank you Jeromy and Jennifer for picking this to appear on your website. I am so honored and blessed to be able to share about my grandpa. They are both “tickled pink” about this. Grandma cannot see very well any more, but has asked thi…s post to be read to her and printed.

Grandpa has been in the hospital for about a week now and he’s getting a little feisty. He holding his own and expected to be released this week. He and grandma celebrated 71 years of wedded bliss – he still says she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. They make my heart smile.

Thank you so much for sharing this story. It is true and yes – Kristina’s sister is known as “The Gabby One”, but I must say in my defense that I come by it naturally, as Grandma is known as. “The Social One”.

We all need to take time to nurture relationships as we do not know where they may lead or whose life we will touch. We need to cherish those in our lives as we never know how long they will be apart of our life.

Finally, we need to remember to listen more than we speak, not only to each other but also with our Lord Jesus Christ. We need to follow where He leads without fear as He will help us along the way.

Thank you again for posting this story, may it be a blessing to others.

Thank you so much for sharing, Kristina, and Jeromy & Jennifer.

My own grandparents always seemed to not care about the newest technology. But even then, they have always been there, and they have always been loving. Sometimes I wonder if my own generation, THIS gen, can… love. And in truth, love God…
I try to stay true to Him by living my life like His – and with my short falls, it looks unsuccessful, but it’s all Him.

Influences…

Thanks so much for this. It helps on a day where I wonder if I can move forward with everything in this life… Now it’s time to look at the blessings and know God’s got greater things for His children.

I recently heard your song “Follow Love” and it has touched me deeper than I probably would have liked it to (I cry almost everytime I hear it). See both my brothers are fighting cancer and my little brother’s fight is a very hard one and its looking more and more like the Lord will be calling him home soon. I live in Texas and he lives in Oregon. I know that everytime I leave him, I have to say goodbye and it maybe the last time I see him. Your song describes both Mike and I. We follow our hearts and where our love for life takes us. It has lead us down some tough roads, but we have had some of the most beautiful experiences leading our life this way. He tells me everytime I “Your heart and love is in Texas and that is where you must go” but I leave a piece of my heart with him everytime I leave. Soon he will follow God’s call and follow the love of all loves home to his resting place where he will be made whole again.

Another beautiful day on Cocoa Beach. Although the water is still warm, it was quite choppy and not really rideable. The bills need to be paid, but I’m still unemployed and job hunting 1 1/2 months after lay-off. After a vocation in telephony for 38 years, I’m trying to figure out what the Lord wants me to do next. My strongest passion is His music, and I can pick my banjo/guitar pretty well, but not confident it is a vocation. Please pray for the Lord to open the right door so I may serve Him in whatever He calls me to do.

Oops, I made a big mistake – - in the last sentence of the first paragraph , it should say “How can I live “WITHOUT” not “with.”

Thanks!

Hey Jeromy,

Life is a pain in the neck here on earth, isn’t it? Sometimes is just seems like we are not supposed to have too much fun here, because then we won’t keep our eyes on Heaven!

When we lost our 12-year-old son over one and a half years ago, I honestly didn’t think I would ever have joy in my heart again. How could I possibly live, let alone be happy, with one of my two children?

Well, because I chose to trust God and believe, somehow, that He really does know what is best for me, I finally feel joy, peace and hope!

When really bad things happen in life, it is so hard to believe that God is “all-good” and “all-powerful.” How do you put all of your trust and faith in a God that doesn’t make sense? How can I love and believe in a God who thinks that my life is better without my son, or my son’s life is better without me – either way you look at it, IT HURTS!!! I know my son is better off in Heaven and I know his sweet soul is with Jesus right now and I know I will see him again and spend eternity with him. But, the pain and the loss is still in my heart, and always will be. The good thing is that I know God understands my pain – - He watched His only son die, just like me. I know God is big enough to listen to my complaints, whining, questions, ranting and raving. I know God will give me all of the answers someday, even though it probably won’t be until I die.

So, in the meantime, I can finally wear those cute t-shirts that say “Life is Good.” Until recently, I really wanted to make my own shirts that said, “Life sucks, or Life hurts” or something annoying.

So, Jeromy, and anyone else who reads this . . . my encouraging words to struggling believers who are experiencing pain, sorrow, confusion, unfairness, loss, or any of the other negative things that come out of living on this fallen planet . . . hang in there and hang on to Jesus’ promises. He will give you all of the fruits of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Gentleness, Kindness, Faith and Self-Control if you just keep surrendering completely everyday. The more I give up figuring out why things happen and what God is thinking, the more I experience all or most of the fruits of the Spirit.

Thanks for the invitation to share just a little of my thoughts today.

Take care,

Sally
