NO MORE WINTER

Even the snowmen are sick and tired of Winter

I received this in an email and thought it was cute!

So thought I would share it with you too.

IN THE VALLEYS

I posted this poem if for no one else, MYSELF. My one or two readers *SMILES* can enjoy. I've had to work hard to remember that "It's in the valleys I grow" I don't know who wrote this poem but I like it. I often pull this out when I'm discouraged. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.





IN THE VALLEYS



Sometimes life seems hard to bear,

Full of sorrow, trouble and woe

It's then we have to remember

That it's in the valleys we grow.



If we always stayed on the mountain top

And never experienced pain,

We would never appreciate God's love

And would be living in vain.



We have so much to learn

And our growth is very slow,

Sometimes we need the mountain tops,

But it's in the valleys we grow.



We do not always understand

Why things happen as they do,

But I am very sure of one thing.

My Lord will see me through.



The little valleys are nothing

When we picture Christ on the cross

He went through the valley of death;

His victory was Satan's loss.



Forgive me Lord, for complaining

When I'm feeling so very low.

Just give me a gentle reminder

That it's in the valleys I grow.



Continue to strengthen me, Lord

And use my life each day

To share your love with others

And help them find their way.



Thank you for the valleys, Lord

For this one thing I know

The mountain tops are glorious

But it's in the valleys I grow!

Happy 32nd Birthday,Darling

It was 32 years ago today the Watters family was blessed with a 6th boy...he was named Anthony David Watters


19 1/2 years later you went on to make me a 'Blushing Bride' . While it has been 11 1/2 years, you are still the handsome man I married.


3 years later this not so little girl anymore came into the world and made you "THE WORLD'S GREATEST DAD"....


Almost 3 years later this little guy would add more joy to our lives....

We went on to have 2 more babies, God needed 2 more angels in Heaven so He took them. While we never knew what they were this picture always reminds me of them....


This is a poem that was on a card I seen and I think it fits here PERFECTLY...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAREST!

On your birthday,
I want you to know
how lucky I feel
to be sharing my life with you.
Nothing compared to having your trust,
your friendship,
and your love...

I know it takes some work
and compromise
to keep a relationship strong,
and I feel incredibly lucky
to have found someone
who understands that -
someone who believes
that a love like ours
is worth giving all we have.

On your birthday,
I want you to know
you're the one
I love more each day,
who keep falling in love with
over and over
through the years.

The world may change around us,
but that doesn't worry me
because I found the love of my life...
and that's something
I want to celebrate
EVERY DAY!

I LOVE YOU, SWEETHEART!!!!
