God's Gifts

Our twins are amazing and I am not just saying that because I am their grandmother.  God has given Meghan and Brett the MOST wonderful gift of all....life of two babies and a boy and girl to boot.  Jessica is my new girlfriend and we have really bonded.  She is all girl at this point.  Will sit with you and play, read a book or just enjoy each other.  She dances, sings(la la la la ), talks (dabble dabble )  Wish I knew what she was thinking but sometimes I know exactly what she is saying.  And there is Jake. the Jakester.  ALL BOY and I believe he is genius....to soon to test but he has a vocabulary of about 20 words and you only have to show him something once and he can do it.....very active, attached to mommy (but with distraction I can keep him occupied).  He truly is a smart cutie  BUT alot of work...doesn"t sleep very well either....Jessica loves to sleep...goes in easy for a nap or at bedtime  BUT not Jakester....OMGosh...  God bless Meghan and Brett, they are well oiled machine with the two of them.  What gifts they are.  Meghan is a wonderful mother and her heart is caring and loving toward her family.  My son, Brett is truly a good man...great husband and good father.  I will continue to pray for them as they journey through family-hood.

Well my Fabulous and Gorgeous friends.....Be well and be blessed till we meet in October(18th) .


Love, Val

Good to be back

Finally I am connected again to you.  God has been so good during this journey.  First we had "IRENE" to re-root us from the beach house to RI.  We finally got into the cottage the second week for only 2 days of sun.  It rained all the other =days.  Gotta love New England.!!!!  However, our grandbabies were with us and we had fun.  Their first birthday party was on Saturday the 10th of September and we had a good time.  Everyone left the cottage Sat night.  Dane I relaxed and got ready for him to return to Florida and I went to Connecticut and visited with friends.  I also visited my CT church, Calvary Christian Center in New Britain for Wed night service.  It was good to see some familiar God"s people.  I am going to be speaking in their Women's October meeting.  God has given me a great message for them entitled " KEEP WALKING ON THE WATER".  I will share it with you at a later time.  This past Saturday I traveled to NY to be with my grandbabies and watch them while Meghan(their mommy) is working for a few weeks.  OMGosh...they are a hand full but wonderful at the same time.  Busy little bees.  Nap time now so I have time to talk to ya 'all.  I am reminded of the love God has for us all the time.  I was sick when I arrived here and didn't know how I was going to do my duties...but I "reached out, asked, believed" and God has answered my pray.  I feel good...Praise Him.  He is there for us if we just ask and believe and wait for the result.

Well my Fabulous and Gorgeous Women of God....BE WELL AND BE BLESSED.....BE KIND TO SOMEONE TODAY and watch God bless you back.  Miss you all~~~


In His Love,  Val

STILL.NO POWER..

Still no power at the Connecticut shoreline and we have NOT been able to occupy the cottage that we rented for two weeks. We talked to the electric company yesterday and they said possibly Sunday(9/4) at midnight or sometime by Wednesday (9/7)...What a disappointment.  I haven't even seen my grand babies. I for sure will be with them Monday night either in NY or at the cottage.  We are spending time with our son in Rhode Island where there is power.   Speaking of POWER...our Lord died for us and was resurrected on the third day.  That same resurrection power is our for the asking.I Peter 1:3....good scripture to put into our mind for keeps...

I love you all today and wish you a wonderful Labor Day rest with your families.  I WILL be with mine one place or another.  What a vacation...plans all Arie!!!!

BE WELL AND BLESSED MY GORGEOUS AND FABULOUS FRIENDS

LOVE, VAL
