Dear readers....I'm FINALLY back! I have been on an "off again on again hiatus" of sorts for a couple of reasons. The first is that my precious Father-in-law has been very ill and we've spent some time there. I will treasure the times that we have been able to spend with him, though so far, they have been few. We are praying that the doctors will be used by the Lord to give us even more precious time with him. You can read older posts right here on this blog that detail my husband's glorious reunion with his Dad that took place last year after being apart for about 36 years. God is SOOOOO good! Forgiveness and reconciliation are precious and God gets all the glory for this in their relationship! Please keep our precious Dad Bartlett in your prayers. He is in the hospital at Duke University right now. He has the best of care and we're praying that the doctors can make him strong enough to go home soon.
Also during my hiatus, I had the great pleasure of taking my Mom on her first cruise! We had SO much fun together and I know that this will not be the last one! It's really funny...for years she was never wild about the idea of even thinking about getting on a ship. Now she has been bitten by the cruise bug! She can't wait for the next one! If you have the chance to do something fun with your Mom that you've always wanted to do, but never have, DO IT! You will not regret a minute of it!
