Happy May Day!  I wish I could say I have had the time to create beautiful May baskets to deliver today, but that is definitely not the case...  Funny how a four-day trip can keep you busy for four days when you return!  I can tell you that we really did have a great time away.  The girls were fantastic!  No drama traveling, which is always something to be thankful for.  Ainsley is always a rock star when we fly.  Not always the case with her little sister.  But,  Ruby rose to the occasion on both flights and did great!  Even with an un-expected 3 hour delay to get to Nashville.  I believe that was my birthday gift from 'Her Rubiness!'

I truly have so much to be thankful for.  But, mostly I want to give thanks for my faith, and for good health for our family today. My heart is heavy this week as I watch closely a very good friend that I have mentioned here before, faithfully walk thru her husbands cancer battle.  Scott has had some major setbacks and immediate Chemo began for him again on Tuesday.  While I know there are moments she feels like she can not take one more thing, God gives her the strength to face the next hour.  Michelle does not realize this, but even in her suffering, she is blessing everyone around her.  She is humble and beautiful both on the inside and the outside. I feel very fortunate to be here to help if I can, but mostly to witness a family that is living out their faith even during the most difficult of times. What a testimony they are to all of us!

So this verse is for Michelle today:

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make your paths straight.

Do not be wise in your own eyes;

fear the Lord and shun evil.

This will bring health to your body 

and nourishment to your bones."

Proverbs 3:5-8

Love,
