We Need Each Other so Much!

As I ran and crashed through the front doors of the Ionia High School, which was then located on Union Street in Ionia, Michigan, I sprung straight up in the air taping the tops of my toes with my fingers. Dropping just beyond that fourth step I hit the ground running, racing to the end of the next three steps, I propelled my body straight up into the air, kicked my feet to my butt and with arms flung open wide I yelled, "Look out World, Here I come!"





Finally, that Junior year was over and I was a Senior in high school! As I ran past one of my high school friends I remember them giggling and screaming out, "Way to go, Kath!"

Does life get any better than this? At the time I didn't think so.

My life has been filled with happy occasions like that one, that I choose to keep front and center in my mind. On the bad days I remember the great times. Those flash points keep me where I'd rather be in life-happy. I choose not to recall bad memories unless it's necessary to protect of my mind, or soul. Does that make sense?

Last week was even better than that last day of my Junior year. Heidi flew in from KC Missouri. We laughed, talked, shopped, swam and hugged so much. Then on Friday night Mike and Neva came home from South Carolina. My house was full of laughter, funny stories and so much love. The smell of baking bread and brownies dripping with vanilla ice cream added even more comfort just before going to bed around one o'clock. We all went to bed with happy blessed hearts from being together again.

Still cutting up, with loving hearts, we had fun taking some family photos out in the back yard on Saturday around noon. Later that day Mike and Neva went back home and Heidi flew back to Andrew in KC, but we enjoyed such a sweet time together. Life does get better in every stage we enter if we only look for those wonderful snap shot memories! God is Always so Good!



"but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love."


Ephesians 4:15 & 16 (NASB)

If you'll read Ephesians chapters 4 and 5 I know god will bless you with direction and potential growth if you will apply it to your life. :)

"The Lord bless you, and keep you; The Lord make His face to shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.'

So they shall invoke my name on the sons of Israel, and I will bless them."

Numbers 6::24;27 (NASB)
